Anthropologist Tom Gill just posted the following on the easianth
(anthropology of East Asia) list. Do click on the link to the video.
"A colleague just drew my attention to a rather fascinating little nugget
on the web:
www.jda.go.jp/JMSDF/info/event/cm_p/16cm.html.
It's a recruiting advertisement for the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense
Forces, that apparently was screened at recruiting events last year. Here
are the lyrics:
We have seamanship, seamanship,
Seamanship for love!
We have seamanship, seamanship,
Seamanship for peace!
(Spoken in Japanese)
We like Japan.
We like peace.
The Maritime Self-Defense Force."
