Every year we're visited by some of the eighth-grade students of Itayanagi, Japan -- Yakima's sister city. They come to learn about Yakima and live in the good ol' United States. One of their regular stops is the KFFM studios and I'm glad -- it's a personal highlight of mine.

I'm a huge fan of Japanese culture. I love the food, the video games, the anime, the music and just about everything else.

We offered to put them on the air with me and a couple of brave volunteers were happy to give it a try. Hopefully those memories are something can pack home without having to check through baggage at the airport.

I didn't want to embarrass them or anything so I made it short and sweet. I hope they have as much fun as I do when they're in town.
