BBC2 - Coming of age

[Kumagoro]

Anyway I thought the programme was superficial and misleading. Some of them are obviously not very representative like the Russian one. The Japanese one having nothing at all to do with coming of age in Japan, other than getting a job. The voiceovers pronunciation of the Japanese names was horrendous. No doubt the other languages suffered the same fate. Its just laziness in my opinion.

I've got to agree - They equated "Becoming a Maiko (learner Geisha)" to "Coming of Age"
A bit like equating "Becoming a Beefeater" with "Going to Secondary School" in the UK
Totally crap
