This paper reviews the study on Japan's electoral institution called Chû Senkyoku Sei (the Medium-sized District System, MDS). I focus on the working of MDS during the one-party rule by the LDP, and show two distinct approaches that I call MDS research and SNTV research are based on different understandings of the same electoral system and political actors under it. MDS research is better equipped with detailed knowledge of various aspects of electoral systems. A lesson one can learn from MDS research may be that how politicians understand the electoral system definitely affects the working of the system. SNTV research introduced new perspectives into the electoral research in Japan. It presented theoretically important insights into Japan's electoral system and guided recent innovative research. Perhaps the greatest contribution is that it has made the study of Japan accessible to a broad audience of political science community. Both approaches have contributed to enriching the Japanese electoral research.
