Nagase in Cambodia, very touching
this is a program that nagase did where he went to cambodia to visit a place that treated children who contracted HIV from their parents. i think the purpose of the show was to see what you could do for 10,000 yen (approximately 100 dollars). for the morning batch of medicine to treat 19 children it costs 700 yen (a little under 7 dollars). for the medicine in the morning and night it costs about 1300 yen a day. with his 10,000 yen he can pay for a week's worth of medicine. it's a really touching video especially when nagase has to say good bye to the children. at 14:13 he sings the japanese version of sukiyaki to create a happy departing memory. he was 25 when he did this so it was probably in 2003/2004 sandra did a translation of an article where he talks about his experience in cambodia here http://www.wretch.cc/blog/gakinme&article_id=7309254
for all the silly funny things they usually do on their shows tokio still does so many meaningful programs.
