Angie, we did indeed try to make it clear that most of the video is
narrated in Japanese. 

I guess if there is any disappointment in my quarter, it's that I don't
speak much Japanese.  Or that the Japanese are the only non-English
speaking nationals who have done the Tevis that have brought along a
professional video crew.  I don't speak much French or German or Spanish
or Arabic, either, but if any of those countries want to do a production
and share it with us, I'd say they now have a higher production standard
to meet.  This video is beautiful and is a credit to our sport.  In any
language.

If you would like your money back, please return your copy of the tape
to the Tevis office.
