On What's Trending, Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike has secured a third term. But the election was marked by unusual campaign tactics from a record 56 candidates - these included outlandish stunts like dressing as "The Joker," nearly nude women, pets, and an AI character, overshadowing serious campaigning. But despite the oddities, such tactics were legal under Japan's election laws, which allow free speech as long as it doesn't support other candidates or spread false information.

Also, Copenhagen's tourist board has announced a trial scheme called "CopenPay" to reward environmentally friendly tourists for activities such as litter-picking, public transport, or cycling around the city. The initiative, which begins on 15th July, offers free food, activities, lunches, coffees, glasses of wine, and kayak rentals in return for their work.
