16.11.07 グッと！スポーツ Gutto-Sports Update - Aiba Masaki [Eng translation]

11／7 Updated! We'll continue our topic yesterday.

I have received lots of comments from you all!
There are new discoveries, and many comments to take reference! Really thank you for this.
I think it would be great to introduce them tomorrow, though little.

So back to our topic, when I watch other TV programs I watch them from the perspective of production.
When it comes to the Sunday TV program Aiba-san appears *Aiba Manabu 相葉マナブ http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/aibamanabu/*, there are many discoveries.
When the program starts.. it immediately goes to the main topic.
There are occasions of sudden quiz too.
There is a feeling to avoid as much so-called "preface" as possible.
There was basic greeting, then straightly went to start the judgment quiz on vegetables *16.10.09 O.A. 「目利き塾　秋の野菜編」*.
Have you all noticed it?
There are information continuously coming out so as not to make audience feel bored.
The program is made to eliminate the feeling of "set-up" [to make a natural, easy-going feeling]. This will be very helpful reference.
When I watch TV program what do we watch it for.
Gutto-Sports also had a sensation to remove as much "feeling of set-up" as possible!

And then, the judgment quiz would be a joy to all family members who watch the program?
The family members can think about it and discuss it.
And then the audience gets the information on how to choose good vegetables. The program focuses on simple ways.
Well~. It is really a TV program which has considered a lot.
I think that only having Aiba-san appearing in the program will not make the program lost-lasting.
I think the program staff really work to their utmost to keep audience watching the program.
Although the program is from another TV broadcaster which should be viewed as my rival, I really get lots of stimulation from this program.
So we watch the programs of other TV broadcasters proactively!

Personally I think TV Tokyo-san makes good programs. Or I should say it's a contest of wisdom.
Furthermore, the economic program broadcast in the same time slot of Gutto-Sports *ガイアの夜明け, TV Tokyo* was really well interviewed.
There is also one program which I favor.
Bearing that in mind... I video-record it to watch it. Unable to watch it live.
While I watch Gutto-Sports of our Master live.

I think NHK also produces many great TV programs,
And the commercial TV broadcasters also have really good programs, and I get stimulation by watch them,
Occasionally I am jealous.. I whispered "how come I don't have such idea!"
Having these various thoughts in mind, I want to make Gutto-Sports, even just little, a program that people like watching.

The comments from all of you are really precious. Including the criticism, they are of great reference to us.
Though it is difficult to accept all of them... We try anything at once when we think the idea is good.
And then we make minor change based on the reaction.
Because I think when the program is made by you all and us together, the program will definitely grow.

Please pay attention to the little change, and it would be great to receive your further comments!
Lastly, there is an announcement.
Under the influence of typhoon, the episode "Wheelchair Basketball Player Fujisawa Kiyoshi-san" which was unable to be re-broadcast is decided to be re-broadcast at 03:10 – 03:45 on 11 Nov [General TV] (late night of 10 Nov)!
Furthermore, the re-broadcast of episode "Softball Pitcher Ueno Yukiko-san" will be at 00:55 – 01:30 on 15 Nov [General TV] (late night of 14 Nov)!
Please enjoy them!

16.11.07 News Zero Ichimen - Eve of 2016 Presidential election - Sakurai Sho [English translation]

Eve of 2016 Presidential election

During the speech on 5 Nov 2016, the supporters of Candidate Trump upheld these signboards.

"the silent majority STANDS WITH TRUMP"

The "silent majority" refers the "invisible Trump supporters" in USA, and is now drawing attention.

"Invisible Trump supporters" are people who actually support Candidate Trump, but such stance is not disclosed to even friends or families.

There seems to be such a situation there.

In the East state, a lady who is "invisible Trump supporter" is interviewed.

■ Trump supporter
"Being afraid of what others may say to you or think about you,
there are many people who cannot claim they support Trump"

■ Trump supporter
"I don't write (I support Trump) on Facebook,
in consideration of my work, I just say ‘I haven't decided' or ‘I am still thinking about it' [when I am asked about my voting preference]"

In the West state, a university student who supports Trump said this.

■ University student who is Trump supporter
"Trump supporters are labelled ‘racists' and ‘bad guy'.
Because I will be criticized loudly, I have to keep this [supporting Trump] silent."

In various places in USA, there are reports that the boards with Trump on it, placed outside ones' homes, are stolen or burnt.

Furthermore, people are scolded just by wearing a T-shirt of Candidate Trump, and their photos [putting on Trump T-shirts] are taken and spread on Internet.

There are also such interesting data.

If we look into the opinion poll about the election this time,
Compared with "telephone survey", the supporting rate of Trump from "Internet survey" is higher.

The "invisible Trump supporters", compared with telephone survey, tend to express their support to Trump in Internet survey which they need not show their faces.

And, in that survey, the supporting rate of Candidate Trump from university graduates is 39% from telephone survey and 46% from Internet survey.

And, for those with annual income USD50,000, which is around JPY5,200,000, the supporting rate from telephone survey is 44% and 50% from Internet survey.
There is evidence that there are many who are "invisible".

Thus far,
The supporters of Candidate Trump are mainly "low-income workers".
Among those "high education, high income", "Trump supporters" are considered to be invisible.

On the other hand, during the presidential election this time,
People pay critical attention to the "lies" in speeches and utterance.

There, what attracts our attention is the attempt of "fact check".
"Fact check" means "to check and confirm if it's fact" in Japanese,
there are over 100 websites in the world which check whether the speeches / utterance of the candidates of President are clear from "lies".

Among them, there is such an example of the representative "Fact Check" institute which checked the TV debate day ago.

First of all, the speech of Candidate Clinton.
"The business of Trump was broke six times."
Candidate Trump replied this with "Four times (broke)".

So the institute checked the fact,
and found that Clinton's "six times" is correct.
Trump's "four times" is a lie.

While, for the "TPP" to which both candidates oppose,
Candidate Trump pointed out that Clinton supported TPP with "Candidate Clinton had spoken that TPP was ‘the gold standard'."

In regard of this, Candidate Clinton argued that "This is not [what I said]!"
After checking the fact...
It was Candidate Clinton who lied.

In 2012, Candidate Clinton indeed spoke about TPP as "gold standard".

To this extent, perhaps attention to the lies of the candidates is also one characteristic of the presidential election this time.

Finally, on 8th, the vote will begin.
