We've been surprised how in high tech Japan the newscasters on national TV will use a pointer and a chart or illustration on an easel rather than snazzy C/G screens with items flying in and dissolving out. It seems the personal touch is valued over the impressive media presentations.
So on our Easter party for children, Emi used a picture book and told the story of Easter in very colloquial Japanese (that we expats struggled to understand) and you could hear a pin drop the entire time.
We can't compete in the area of impressive spectacles. We'll leave that to Tokyo Disneyland, IMAX and Cirque d'Soleil. When it comes to the personal touch, we see an impact on lives.
