Tokyo is such an awesome place to visit but I'm sure living there is a whole different thing. I know they've just had a big scandal with the last guy using a lot of the city's money for his own purposes.
I know in Japan advancement is usually based on seniority a lot of the time and not the best person for the job. But this time it sounds like the voters are willing to give Ms Koike a shot to clean things up and get the city back in shape.
