I find the idea of making a TV show that seems to affirm the stigmatization of children for having been left anonymously at Jikei Hospital repulsive.To see how Nihon Terebi presents their drama (in Japanese) go tohttp://www.ntv.co.jp/ashitamama/story/index.htmlhttp://www.asianews.it/news-en/Kumamoto:-Catholic-hospital-against-TV-series-that-discriminates-against-abandoned-children-30189.htmlJAPAN Kumamoto: Catholic hospital against TV series that discriminates against abandoned... 2014-01-31 16:24 JSTHere's a video about students in Aso who bred white …白いイチゴに夢を託して ～『あその小雪』・高校生たちの挑戦～ Entrusting dreams to White Strawberry (this post) 2014-01-31 11:28 JSTHere's an inquiry I received:"I will be visiting Kikuchi-gun during the first full week in April and am looking for someone that can translate English.
