Did the good guys win?

Well, the same guys won. It's still an LDP-Komeito government.

The thing you have to understand about Japan is that the LDP IS the uniparty. They've been in government almost continuously since 1955. They're conservative and nationalistic but they've been dragged left to stay in power. It's a sign of their weakness that even with Komeito they don't have 2/3rds majority.

The ultra-right is Ishin, but they're like Japanese AFD, they're small and nobody wants to work with them. An LDP-Ishin government will never happen because it would swiftly be replaced by a CDP government in the next election.
