Have you heard of a city named "Obama" (小浜) in Japan?
In fact, it's become very popular now as the Presidential Election in the U.S. is getting heated up! Several local people even organized Barak Obama's fan club although no one in the group is eligible to vote in the election.
You can read news article about them here.
This fanaticism started from Mr. Obama's words; when he visited Japan in 2006, he mentioned that the immigration officer said to him "I'm from Obama!"
Now, several Japanese media have reported this news on TV, newspapers and so on. I think it's very interesting!
