English, since all foreign NOV.

tongues. "Spartacus" was show

when Masaru left this summer.
Many popular songs are i'm
ported from the United States.
Japanese singers often translate
American lyrics into their own
language. Masaru enjoyed lis
tening to FEN (For Eastern
Network), a broadcasting sys-

too rapidly for him to under
stand, Masaru said, but he liked
the rhythms.
Masaru is one of 124 Japa-

He was chosen from 10000 ap-
