Come on, CHINA AND KOREA, get a life, don't live your grandfather's dream. Life is tough enough, why waste it on something that does not concern today's world. And Korea, your grandfather already collected war ransom, why are you asking for more. China, you were weak then, making Japan a punching bag for the western world. Why are you altering history, which doesn't benefit you. And USA, your president provoked Japan into war by sending nasty letters secretly without the consent of your congress. MOVE ON WORLD. LIVE AND LET LIVE. In Christ we Trust. Amen.

Hope NHK will keep in mind that Red & White Contest is watch worldwide. In Singapore, if we don't watch the programme, the new year celebration would feel the same. We wish very thing will turn out well between NHK and Sachiko Kobayashi. Many thanks.
