Check the map of Japan to see the results in colors (blue = DJP, red = LDP)

http://www.asahi.com/

The first tab is for normal seats (by prefecture), the second for proportional seats (by region)

Interesting to see that in most regions the proportional seats are pretty much half for the LDP half for the DJP.

Also interesting to see that some of the poorest prefectures where economic development heavily depend on government subsidies choose LDP (LDP only, in the case of Kochi -Shikoku region, Shimane and Tottori - Chugoku region, and Fukui -Hokurikushin'etsu region).
