This is the first nationwide Tea Party movement to protest against the new government of Japan’s Democrats in response to the shift from an American-centered policy to a more China-focused policy, more specifically the relocation of the American Marine Corps air base from Okinawa.

Happiness Realization Party is willing to support this grass roots campaign and conservative movement by joining the demonstration that started at Hibiya Park in Tokyo to the National Diet on May 11 @ 1:00 pm in Japan. In spite of rain, more than 3000 people participated in this demonstration.

In Japan would it be a Tea Ceremony rather than a Tea Party. They take their tea seriously on the other side of the Pacific.

Careful there.

"Happiness Realization Party" is not only a political party, it is a RELIGIOUS CULT.

Headed by a phony named "Ryuho Okawa" (who is famous for forcing housewives to buy expensive urns and amulets and attend costly seminars; he claims to speak to the spirits of many famous departed people).

Many of us here remember The Last Time a religious cult turned political party in Japan and then failed due to rejection from the people at the polls. Not predicting. Just sayin'.
