SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted January 18, 2007 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 18, 2007 That was today was it? Good. I don't actually know much about it and haven't seen it although they did promise to send a DVD of it to us for records. Basically the tv station (Shinshu tv?) contacted us and were asking us about why Hakuba was becoming so popular with foreigners, I did a telephone interview about it (which I wish I could have redone, my Japanese wasn't the best that day ) and gave them a number of ideas of people to contact in Hakuba, including Nick and a few other SJers and people over there. That's about as much as I know! Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Well, Nick is certainly doing his part to make Hakuba popular with foreigners Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 Youll be happy to know that SJ got a major play in the ads and that your phone interview that was video taped in their van made the airwaves. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I thought you looked all right Fatty. Had you combed your hair or something? A bit of a off day for your Japanese though. It's was about third or fourth thing on the local news. Both Fatty's place and this website were shown, and they made some good points. If you weren't paying attention, I don't suppose you'd notice, but once again the typical Japanese attitude regarding foreigners was on display. The report started off talking about foreigners coming to Hakuba, put up a graphic showing that half of them are Korean and only 18% are Australian, and then decided to completely ignore the Koreans and other Asians. In 2007 even, the minority white man is more newsworthy. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 True I was too nervous to speak at all actually i shouldve done it in English. The problem with Koreans is that they look like Japanese not easy to wait at the bottom of the loft to video them. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 it could be another of those guess the typos. I guess it's "lift". Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I'm not sure I'd want to be on Japanese tv. Too many extreme close-ups for my liking BTW, happy birthday SJ1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, finding an Oriental gaijin is probably beyond the research capabilities of a Japanese newsteam. Even if there are four times as many of them as Australians. All you have to do to be Japanese news researcher is ring the local weather center. Hot, cold, wet, dry, its all major news. The same news program said JAL are probably going to stop flying from Matsumoto-Sapporo, so if any of you overseas people want to do both Nagano and Hokkaido, this season may be your last chance for an easy transfer.

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted January 19, 2007 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 19, 2007 I remember the original contact from them - the idea for the piece was very specifically "why so many Australians?" which I found rather interesting. I asked them why just Australians, the answer to which was "thats the テーマ of the article" or something along those lines. Link to post Share on other sites
SirJibAlot 0 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Just stand at the bottom of the lift, loft, or whatever and yell YOGAYO!!!! when someone turns thier head - that's your Korean interviewee.... Link to post Share on other sites

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted January 19, 2007 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 19, 2007 Sorry about that Nick. We changed the settings on that in late December due to an incident and we are discussing this today - we will no doubt make the edit time much longer as it used to be.

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted January 19, 2007 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 19, 2007 Easy and quick decision - increased the edit time to a week. Sorry again for the initial changes. Link to post Share on other sites
