Nostalgia, Big City<->Hometown

[Aaron Gerow]

Speaking of TV, TOKIO's Za Tetsuwan DASH n NTV has featured DASH-Mura  
for about 8 years now, where the Johnny's band TOKIO has been  
creating a rural village and experiencing various old fashioned ways  
of living.

I also write a bit about furusato in relation to Iwai's Swallowtail  
in my piece in Hein and Selden's Censoring History.
