Koyomiya on TV ! It was the middle of October when he telephoned me. "Hello, this is NHK. Are you guest house's manager ? " I was so surprised because I think he pushed me for payment of licence fee ! NHK is state-owned TV station. But he said... "This time, we want to introduce some shared houses on our program. I heard your guest house residents are on good terms and sometimes give a paty. Can we record that situation ?" It was first time that the appearance was offered by TV station. I was so excited,.but I thought that he must have given directions if I say "yes ! please ! "soon. As I had expected, the NHK director insistsed on " suddenly report ". In brief, he wanted me not to inform to our residents before the party.. But I refused that idea. Not every guests would like to appear on TV. ( I reflected later that we should had talk the derails more then ). That night I call my family, relatives, friends, etc ! <to be continued >> |
