So ... the comment I screeched to a halt in sending ... the one about 
how my daughter gets a big kick out of NHK's "localization" of "Shaun 
the Sheep" (Hitsuji no Shaun) and "Timmy Time" (Chimi Chaimu)* which 
show that the host nationals have to translate even grunts, squeals, and 
mutters in order to maintain full employment in the broadcast industry 
... is off topic despite being in country?

* the one that generates the biggest giggles is that NHK has seen fit to 
"translate" the quotes from Timmy's teacher (the owl) from 
"broot-de-toot-doot" to "tot-tot-tot-tot."  That and the insistence on 
calling "Timmy Time" "Chimi Chaimu" which she cheerfully points out to 
her friends upon playing her Ardman DVDs.
