5th essay TV
Introduction
5th essay is about TV. I’ll introduce about Technologies, TV Company, Animation, Movie and screen size. I compare between Japan and America. Sometime, I compare between Japan’s TV screen size and British’s TV screen size.
Technologies
Japan has very high quality TV technologies Company. For example, SONY company, Panasonic company, Viera company, Sanyo company, Aquos company and so on. Especially, Japanese likes Sony company and Panasonic company, because, there company are very high quality. Japan has three type of TV. There are Aquos TV and “Chi-deji” TV (Japanese called) and analog TV. Between 2011, we have to change analog TV to “Chi-deji” TV.
America has good quality technologies. But, I think Japan has more high quality technologies.
TV Company
Fuji television is the most poplar TV Company in Japan. They have a lot of poplar TV programs. For example, drama is “Garireo” and animations are “one-piece”, “Chibi-Maruko chan”, “Sazae-san” and variety TV program is “Waratte-iitomo” and so on. Fuji TV has a character.
Japan television is some poplar TV programs. For example, animation is “Meitantei-Konann” and variety TV program is “Sekai Marumie TV” and so on.
TBS is the second poplar TV Company in Japan. They have poplar TV programs. They are “FNS music festival”, “K-1”, “Gakkou-he-ikou” and “Pitannko-kann-kann” and so on. I like TBS TV company the most.
Television Asahi has some poplar TV programs. They are “music station”, “News station”. And, This Company has very poplar animation. That is “Doraemon”. “Doraemon” is the most famous animation in Japan.
NHK is governmental TV Company. So, This Company has many News TV programs. Therefore, children don’t like this TV channel. But, another NHK’s channel has a lot of animation TV program. Adult likes NHK’s News TV programs. And, NHK has most famous music TV program in New Year’s Eve. The program name is “red and white music festival”. Almost Japanese watch this TV program.
Animation
In Japan have a lot of famous animation. For example, they are “Sazae-san”, “Chibi-Maruko chan”, “Doraemon” and “one-piece” and so on. A lot of animation made in Japan, they are very popular all of the world.

In America has a lot of movies. And, America’s movie is very high quality and big. America have very popular movie place where is Hollywood.
Screen size
America’s TV size is very big. Japan’s TV has small TV screen size and middle TV screen size and big TV screen size. In British, low income people have big TV screen size. Usually income people have middle TV screen size. High income people (rich people) have very small TV screen size or haven’t TV. Why low income people have big TV screen size, because, low income people like soccer game. Therefore, the people want to watch soccer game on big screen size TV.
Conclusion
I think, Japan have most high quality and high technologies. And, Japan have very famous TV program around the world. I think, if people have not TV, people can not live. TV is necessary thing. [556 words]
