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." -- John McCreery The Word Works, Ltd. 55-13-202 Miyagaya, Nishi-ku Yokohama 220-0006, JAPAN ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
