I like the NHK program whose title is "The 20th Century on Film"

Now, white watching "The Century on Film -- butterfly effect" by the "NHK plus" (Internet VOD service), I am coding.

Now four programs seem to be uploaded.

I am watching the program of "The Pacific War: Men Who Fought with Words".

This program is about the US military's fast-track training of Japanese-language intelligence officers.

I am fascinated by the story that (1) the school was located in Boulder, Colorado, and (2) the school ignored grammar and educated the students to use Japanese in one year by solely reading and writing.

I have memories of going to Boulder every other week (100 km away each way) to get Japanese rice when I worked in the US, and I was amazed at the grammar-ignoring, rapid-fire language study method.

In the Ebata's, however, the 'The Century on Film' is not popular.

In particular, the second daughter feels sick when she hears the programme's theme song.

The teacher at my second daughter's school was a fan of the program.

The teacher kept showing the program to his students at school and the second daughter was traumatized.

In my mind, "The Century of File" is the No.1 program I want my children to watch, however, it would be counteroffensive if they were to be traumatized by it.

What we have to do, is to believe they create their values in their own way.

However, I am worried about my children, who do not know "Li Teng-hui" and cannot talk about the "Cultural Revolution", but we have no choice but to be patient.
