Physical description: 1 videodisc (DVD) (ca. 30 min.) :sd., col. ;4 3/4 in. Video Recording System requirements:DVD (Region ALL). Language: Soundtrack in English. Summary: Young Japanese have grown up in a period of peace and prosperity, and their lifestyle seems very Western. Yet there are some deep undercurrents in their lives that make them different in some ways from Western people. The starting point for understanding Japanese youth is the intensely competitive Japanese education system. The most prestigious jobs are reserved for the graduates of a few top universities; thus, during school years pressure is high, and failure can lead to severe depression or even suicide. After this traumatic period, most young Japanese settle into rather conventional lifestyles, accepting their lot with patience and resignation. However, there are a growing number who, for various reasons, take a more challenging attitude towards the future. This film introduces some of these people and their achievements. The English narration is supplemented with extensive interviews which give provocative and sometimes humorous insights into the thinking of the young Japanese. What they say gives an important clue to the way Japan as a nation may change in the next few decades.
