Russia is a terrible country; China is a terrible country; South Korea is a terrible country; North Korea is a terrible country -- every time we watch the news.

But to the same extent that we think, the people of foreign countries must believe that Japan is a terrible country.

There is no such thing as "only Japan is a clean country.

I wonder if someone could do a "special "Japan is a terrible country" news program of overseas.

I know they won't get any ratings, and it's sure to be a firestorm -- but I'd like to watch it.

When I talked to my wife about this,

'Do we have to worry about public opinion outside the country?'

She said.

Japanese people living in Japan should be okay with that, as long as we think 'only Japan is a clean country.'

"How bracing!"

I was moved to her.
