2.Sei Shimura  / shimura@mvh.biglobe.ne.jp. Transcription of NHK News Headlines / Sunday, September 11, 2005,: win a landslide 地滑り的勝利を収める(jisuberi-teki shouri o osameru); An NHK exit poll shows that Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's LiberalDemocratic Party looks sure to win a landslide in Sunday's Lower House general election. 
(comment)	WWWJDIC's reading of 地滑り (じすべり】 (n) landfall), misses the mark.  "Landfall" in English means a sighting of land after a voyage.  
I regret I cannot find the Japanese equivalentof "landfall".
