55% voter turnout (66mil of 121mil)
lpd got 49% of votes (27mil)
ldp got 22% of the populations vote (27mil of 121mil)
They get 77% of the seats (316 of 465)

Western media: super majority, the people love her!

communist party (eurocom losers) won tokyo seat, but lost 4 of their previous 8 seats, never see them mentioned in the west tho
