4. SOUNDBITE (Japanese) Chiyako Sato, Mainichi Shimbun editorial writer and a commentator on politics:
"The reason for the support for Yuriko Koike is that the Tokyo government she led during her two terms of eight years in office was generally well supported, especially by women. The exit polls in particular showed that women’s support for Koike was very strong. The exit polls show that about 50% of women support Koike, with the rest supporting Ishimaru and Renho.”

12. SOUNDBITE (Japanese) Chiyako Sato, Mainichi Shimbun editorial writer and political commentator:
"I think there needs to be a mandatory quota. As proportional representation, let half of the (members of the parliament) be women, for example. We need to make it obligatory. For how many decades have we been debating to increasing the number of female MPs? It has hardly increased."

16. SOUNDBITE (Japanese) Chinami Nishimura, parliamentarian, senior official with the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party:

17. Pan of Nishimura and other female candidates campaign posters
18. SOUNDBITE (Japanese) Chinami Nishimura, parliamentarian, senior official with the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party:
“It is quite difficult for women to be the first to clear the candidature. Women are more likely to face opposition from their families, so that is one hurdle to overcome. And even if they are successfully elected, some of my colleagues struggled to continue with their career."
19. Various cutaways of Nishimura
