A suited woman, filmed from behind, walks down a corridor towards the light. Her heels ring on the floor. She passes two old men, wreathed in cigarette smoke. “Oppose us, will you?” they say. “Make a fool of the organisation?” The woman walks straight past. Four young men fall in behind her as she enters the light. Her face we never see, because we do not need to. The iconography, the silhouette and the story are unmistakable to every voter in Japan: Yuriko Koike.
一個身著西裝套裙的女人——鏡頭拍的是她的背影——沿著一條走廊走向盡頭的陽光。高跟鞋叩擊地面,發出鏗鏘有力的篤篤聲。她從兩個吞雲吐霧的老男人身旁走過。「跟我們對着幹,就憑你?」他們叫囂,「不把組織當回事嗎?」女人徑直走了過去。當她走到走廊盡頭時,四名年輕男子跟到她身後。我們始終未看到她的臉,因爲我們不需要看到。在日本,每個選民都不會弄錯她的樣貌、她的身影、她的故事——她就是小池百合子(Yuriko Koike)。
