SUSAN TSUJI'S NEW “HELLO JAPAN” SHOW ON CITY-TV
TORONTO — Toronto Nisei TV hostess, Susan Tsuji, will introduce
h€r new program “Hello Japan” on Saturday, September 15th from 8:00
a.m. to 9:00 a.m. over CITY-TV.
Tsuji, who is leaving the popular Japanese Panorama show, says she
hopes that in joining CITY-TV she can transmit more top quality current
news, drama, animation and documentaries.
“I find multilingualism limited and restricting,” said Ms. Tsuji who
has been at the helm of Japanese Panorama for the past five years. “And
I hope that with my new show we can continue to move onward and

upwards.
She expressed the hope that with CITY-TV's wider range of viewers
and sounder financial status, she can upgrade the level of broadcasting.
“We have made contacts with most of the big TV companies in Japan
to pursue our aims,” she said. “We hope for more Canada-Japan related
subjects and personality pieces. From N.H.K. we have been promised
the popular Japanese “Soap” “Oshin”.
Ms. Tsuji has also confirmed that the annual New Year's special
“Kohaku Uta Gassen” will be seen on Global on New Year's Day.

An additional 300 riot police
surrounded the Japanese inn
and conducted body searches

sters was reported, the police
said.
According to Hyogo Pre­
fectural police, Yamaguchigumi has been without a top
leader since the death of
Taoka in the summer of 1981,
due to the rivalry between
Takenaka and Hiroshi Yama­
moto.

Takenaka is described as
an aggressive militant, while
the 58-year-old Yamamoto is
a moderate old-timer.
Taoka's widow has been
backing Takenaka and her in­

designation as the new boss
at the organization's highest
decision-making meeting in
early June.
Angered by this, Yamamoto
and his followers seceded
from the organization.
Earlier this year, Yamaguchi-gumi claimed membership
of some 13,000 in 587 local
gangs in 28 prefectures. Due
to the de facto breakup Yamaguchi-gumi's strength is be­
lieved to have halved, police
said.

I decided I wanted to go to
the reunion because I wanted
to let my classmates grow up.
I wanted to be in an adult
situation with them.
I finally unearthed my in­
vitation under a pile of
papers, only to discover that
the RSVP deadline was early
June. I called anyway. A mid­
dle aged woman answered the
phone. “Joan?” I asked, half
expecting her to say “No, I' m
her mother, I'll call her.”

I told her I wanted to sign
up and she said fine and then
we hung up. It was the oddest
feeling. I kept listening to her
voice and mine and we both
sounded . . . well, grown up.
“I'll be damned!” I thought
to myself. “She's aged and
I've been hanging onto this
image of her at 17.”
