I have tasted the fruit.

 Cool OP, I knew nothing about Japanese politics other than LDP were in power almost forever and that Koizumi has dreamy hair. :allears:

The weird thing about the high turnout rate is how it's actually that high when everyone seems to hate their politicians so much. In pretty much every poll I've seen that asks 'Which party are you likely to vote for?', support for the LDP and the DPJ hovers at around 20% each, and 50%+ of respondents answer 'No Party'.
60-70% isn't really all that high though, unless compared to countries with abysmal rates such as the aforementioned US.
