This is a 2002 Japanese ad commercial for child protection. Watch it until the end, I think this so inspiring and creative and mind-opening.

Thank you for sharing it.I saw thiscommercial when I was in Japan. This washappy-ending though, still very sad. It makes me a lot.I think it's about time all Japanese people look inside themselves and ask someserious questions about their society, beliefs, kids, family, and what they really want. We avoid those kind of problems often.

I feel like many children in Japan is a bit neglected. They really need tobe hugged and kissedmore often fromparents or family members (or people who close to them).I believeaffectionatetouching makes you feel closer to the people important to you.I've never kissed or hugged (When I was in Japan.) And I know what happens to a child never hugged or kissed.They feel a loneliness, emptiness anda non completed bond all the time. I think most ofJapanesepeople don't even know how to accept hugs or kisses. Because it's very unusual and makes them feel uncomfortable orawkward, maybe.

All Japanese teachers, parents and adults should teach and encourage kids to communicate openly. And they have to love them the way they are. Just stop to saying to your kids like "Be better than everyone else" Japanese people. Kiss your kidsandtell your kids ?I love you? at least onceeveryday!

There is looooots of stressed-outkids in Japan...likehigh expectations placed on kids from an early age,the bullying, alack of communicationwith parents or teachers, too much pressures.Japan?s suicide rate is notoriously high. Again,it's about time all Japanese people look inside themselves.

( Oh, I love Japan though! by the way...)
