An inferiority complex and discrimination of a small body"CHIBI",
Japanese urbanization, A pollution-related illness"MINAMATA",
The issue of Narita Airport"SANRIDUKA", The expansion of the poverty and wealth,
The Emperor"TENNO", Japanese power...
And the low-altitude flight training of an American fighter repeated in Japan.
