- It’s funny, in camp, I learned some of these military dances, you know, the military songs where Japan is ‘gonna win the war’ (laughing). So, I taught my students that we were dancing in camp about that Japan is gonna win the war and….crazy! I didn’t know what I was teaching, probably. But anyway… it was a lot of fun because it was a modern song and peppy dance, so that’s what I learned from Kansuma san.
