Japan's Obama celebrates election win
Wednesday, 5 November 2008
enlargeThe normally sleepy seaside town of Obama in Japan was partying after Barack Obama was elected US president.
Members of the Obama For Obama supporters group were drinking rice wine and singing their official theme song, La, La-La-La-La O-ba-ma! after the result came in.
The supporters group attracted 1,500 members, and dozens joined the Obama Girls hula dance team to celebrate Obama's Hawaiian heritage. The hula team now plans to travel to Washington for the inauguration in January and perform a dance in front of the White House.
