Although it’s not exactly a Japanese video, the song “Last Christmas” by the group WHAM has become very much a part of the the Japanese Christmas tradition. Celebrating its 25 Year Anniversay, please enjoy the original 1984 video (posted by ClassicXmas) below. You may notice that the video could have easily inspired a few karaoke box videos. Enjoy!

WITvid #2: “ALT in Japan”
Uncategorized, Video Comments Off on WITvid #2: “ALT in Japan”
WITvid is a periodic series by Peter Weber (Saitama-ken 2004-07), the JET Program Coordinator in San Francisco.
This video was brought to my attention by Rhea Young, JET Program Coordinator at the Consulate General of Japan in Detroit.
This piece (posted by draginboll) was featured on Japanese television about the treatment of some Assistant Language Teachers in Japan. Although I feel some of the views are biased and extreme (especially the references to the JET Program) it is very interesting. It just goes to show, ” Every Situation Is Different (ESID)” does not only apply to the JET Program.

I thought that JetWit could use some video content from time to time, so I figured I would help and contribute by adding JET and Japan related video links. If you have any suggestions do not hesitate to contact me at jet [at] cgjsf.org.
I thought I would start off with a video that was popular a few years ago titled “ALT Rap” by Rob Holbrook aka veloboy (Osaka-shi). Enjoy!
