A Familiar Face On NHK World's "Journeys In Japan"

While watching the Japanese station, NHK World tonight, I watched a program, Journeys In Japan, about different communities in the Tohoku region of Japan and how they fared three years after the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Then there was a surprise! The show featured a girl touring the region who looked very familiar.

Sure enough, it was Jessica Claros, who assisted Jonathan Bellés with interview translations in Japan last month. I met Jessica at Toho Studios when Bellés was interviewing Eiichi Asada and Yoshikazu Ishii.

During my October 2015 trip to Japan, I held a dinner party at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo consisting of executives from Toho Co., Ltd. I invited Jessica Claros to the dinner party to assist in interpreting, if necessary.
