Aiko Usui felt like a pop idol during campaign

Aiko Usui was 28 years old and running for a seat in a ward assembly election in Tokyo in the year 2019. Instead of being treated by some of the voters she canvassing, she felt like a pop idol being targeted for abuse.

During a rally, a man approached her several times to touch her arms while shaking her hands. Another man followed Usui around town as she made stump speeches across town and then sent her photos of herself via Instagram with messages such as I wish I could come closer to you and I think a ponytail hairstyle would look really good on you.
