Todd: And where are you from?

Hitoshi: Well, I'm originally from a city called Utsunomiya.

Hitoshi: But, when I was ten I moved to Uwara, which is in Saitama.

Todd: OK.

Hitoshi: And I've been there ever since.

Todd: OK. Um..tell me about your country. Tell me about Japan.

Hitoshi: Japan? Well, it's a very crowded country, a lot of people. And it's very small in terms of the size you know of the area. It's actually smaller than California.

Todd: Wow. Wow.

Hitoshi: And then, two-thirds of the area is covered by forests.

Todd: Ah..that's good. I love forests. I love forests. How many people live in Japan?

Hitoshi: About 120,000,000.

Todd: Wow.

Hitoshi: Yeah. Just about 125,000,000. It's about half the population of the states.

Todd: Man! And what is the capital city?

Hitoshi: It's Tokyo.

Todd: Tokyo. And who is the leader of the country?

Hitoshi: It's Koizumi.

Todd: Koizumi.
