Barack Obama wants to change–Tokyo curry prices!
July 15, 2008 · Print This Article
I was walking to Shinjuku station the other day, taking a less trafficked route, and came across this Japanese-style curry shop that apparently thinks Barack Obama’s change motto also applies to its change in curry prices. Now I follow Barack on Twitter every day (and he actually replied back to me once!), but I have not seen any mention of his foreign policy toward Japan yet. However, with the supposedly increasing food prices around the world, it does not seem like much of a stretch for Barack to take a firm position against high Japanese-style curry prices.
On the other hand, maybe the store owner is just a supporter of Barack Obama? When I passed by the other day I had no time to go in and ask the owner which was correct. I’ll try to do this in the near future and will update this post clarifying this curry shop’s Obama position.
Where have you seen any unusual signs of support for Barack Obama?
UPDATE: the sign has been taken down as of August 9th, 2008

Obama just thinking of the little guy- yet again. What a guy.

My first boyfriend was in the sixth grade. At the end of the year, his family moved to Japan. Part of his address was Shinjuku-ku. His name was Andrew Little and he had red hair and freckles; he could really play soccer, better than any other boy in Merton Wisconsin (except his older brother who seemed really cosmopolitan). I was terribly heartbroken, practically for the last time.
As for Barack Obama — HELP ME OBAMA WAN KENOBI! YOU’RE MY ONLY HOPE!! I can’t wait to have a philosopher in office.

If I come across Andrew, I’ll let you know!
Obama got quite a good reception in Europe recently.
I can’t wait to have an elitist in office.

Barack Obama supports a local Shinjuku curry shop??…
A Barack Obama “CHANGE” poster was hanging in the front window of a local Shinjuku Japanese-style curry shop. I stopped to wonder if the owners of the shop were showing their support for the candidate or if they were using his poster to promote thei…
