But in Japan, a female politician named Yuri Fujikawa has kind of done the opposite: she went out and made a video that includes, among other things, some lightly sexy swimsuit shots and the like. It seems pretty mild (the intro video doesn't have anything remotely interesting in it, so if that's what you want, don't bother).
Stippy's article features a lot of really interesting information on Japanese political culture (and this situation in specific), so you can consider this your “required reading” since I missed it yesterday.
