I have made a new discover here locally in San Francisco. It’s the NHK World TV rebroadcast and streaming on the Internet. Local here in on antena feed on KTSF Channel number 26.2 (TTV) Tokyo Television Broadcasting Corporation and KCSM Channel number 60.2 part time on Mhz Networks. http://www.ktsf.com/en/ http://www.mhznetworks.org/mhzworldview/ I know what most of you are thinking. So what how can I watch this? This same broadcast can be streamed on the internet at. http://www.streamick.com/index.php?tv=nhkenglish This is the home page of NHK World. http://www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/ The is also a FREE Japanese Lessons section on the internet web page. http://www.nhk.or.jp/lesson/ There are several version in many different langauges. Japanese Lesson NHK's Japanese Lesson is broadcast in 17 languages. "Japan, My Love" For people who want to learn beginning Japanese, we've prepare 100 important phrases with helpful audio & visual aids. Some of the Feature Shows are “J-Melo” which bill it self as the only Japanese Pop-music show in English. Another is “Tokyo Fashion Express” it reports on the hottest fashion trends, including interviews with designers and creators based in Tokyo. Note both of these show have featured AKB48. One show had a story about the costume designer for AKB48 Shinobu Kayano. Sorry but I don’t have video capture equipment to up load it on the internet for you. http://www.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/english/t ... 00503.html J-Melo only had a small item about the new release of the single Sakura no Shiori (桜の栞). I am not sure which category this sould be placed in so I decided to make a new. I remember seeing an article about Conomi, which is a imatation school uniform manufacture, on NHK Tokyo Fashion Express. http://www.conomi.jp/ This company has a collaboration with Tomomi Itano for a special uniform. http://www.conomi.jp/arconomi/ARCC-4011.htm
