HNT Chapter 10
 
Over the years, I have been in the newspaper many times, and also on TV and the radio. People are interested in what I do. You see, I don’t just walk; I walk barefoot, without shoes. That’s why people—Japanese people—call me ‘Hadashi’. I’m not yet famous. I don’t think that I want to become famous. But it can be useful, if people have heard about you.
 
Mami’s first job was at a television company. However, she didn’t like it very much, and she stopped working there. At the TV company, Mami had a friend called Asaki. Asaki continued with television work. Now, she produces a program. And she would like to film us for that program. We are going to be on Japanese TV.
 
Four days before our trip starts, a television crew arrives at our address. We plan what to film. We rehearse before filming. The morning passes in a rush. Everyone is busy. We are interviewed at the local park. We are even filmed while eating lunch.
 
In the afternoon, Asaki’s boss arrives. He tells us his plan.
 
“We will loan you a cell phone. It can take moving pictures. We will also loan you this camera. Please take many pictures during your trip. We will ring you up every two weeks. You will appear live on TV. We will drive you Satamisaki, where you start. We will fly up to Soyamisaki, where you finish.”
 
It all sounds very organized and exciting.
