How I got on Japanese Cable TV

In Japan I get a lot of attention. Perhaps its my magnetic personality. What do you think? LOL - you know is tru I’m a little more tanned than the masses. Anyway with that said it’s hard to be inconspicuous.

The other day I went to a dance. Now this dance is no passa passa business. Although I am sure you could probably find something like that here , cause the other day I met this student and when she heard that I was from Jamaica the first thing she bawl out is – “ Jamaica! PASSA PASSA.!” Apparently she had the DVD’s, anyway back to the story. At the dance all the groups in the community who practise the traditional dances come together and have a dance fest. The moves are pretty much set so even is you don’t belong to one of these clubs once you catch the steps you just keep doing it over and over until the singer cut the song. Many people come out to this event.

So I’m at this dance with my landlord who is like a community leader (the good type), when I see this lady approaching. When she came close I saw the the words CABLE TV on her shirt. Now she wasn’t shooting anything but when my landlord told her that I was from Jamaica and I was teaching at Fuse High school the lady just prop the camera on her shoulder and what you know- I was in the video light . But mi nuh shy so when I saw the light in my mind I jus’ say “ACTION”. I had gone to language training so I could say my name and where I came from. With my best Japanese accent I start off. The lady probably think that I can talk now so she asking me all manner a questions but after the name and country sentence I draw blank. Anyway all I do is keep on smiling. So now you can say that you know a Japanese Cable TV star.
