shizu EXTRA productions is like an umbrella brand for things
done in Shizuoka, Japan as opposed to things on the international stage.

 

teaching English

Let us not be too serious here. Almost no one in Japan could speak English until my arrival back in the spring o 1992. I joined the industry, and that is exactly what it seemed like at the time, of helping people break into my native language.

I warned you that I wasn't being serious. Now there are so many people who can speak so well as a result of MY English teaching efforts.

I started out in Hamamatsu working for Mr.Toyama, and then I found a company that would send me to companies. Then I worked for the largest conversation school in Japan with branches all over. The name was NOVA. I met my wife when she was a student there.

NOVA and I disagreed about teaching methods; they refused to see things my way. The company went belly up. What more can I say.

Presently, I teach at Shizu KITA High School. I also have 8 or 10 private students. Brand name for private classes is extra english

FM - Hi! radio

I was on radio in the U.S. for a long time; I've now been on the air here in Shizuoka for a long time. I have been on FM - HI! with a mid-day show for more than 8 years. Have been associated with the station since it came on the air back in the spring
of '98.

There should be rules for on-air presentations at the radio station so that programs can have something in common. No one sets the rules, but I'm not complaining because I have freedom with how my own show is produced. The name of the show is 76.9 HITz DRIVE In truth, it is on FM - Hi! but is not produced
by FM - Hi! It is produced by
