Last Friday was the second radio live day which was not only a repeat of the first one but a practise of next Friday.
I felt better at re-writing stories as well as the cue.
Partly because I chose a more similar topic and country, partly because I'm much more familiar with how to do it.
Now I can grasp a story's idea much quicker due to practise on radio & online class.
The only problem when I recorded my story was how to read Japanese names fluently. Next time I'll not even mention those complex names.
The terrible story
Japan hanged three murderers today and for the first time revealed their names and details of the crimes. Yin reports.
Three men were hanged today in Japan for murder.
The new policy of revealing their names and details of the crime aims at strengthen support for executions.
The three hanged included Seiha Fujima, who’s 47. The Justice Ministry described his crime saying that because a 16-year-old girl refused his romantic advances, he then killed the girl, her mother and a sister.
The other two, Hiroki Fukawa, who’s 42, and 74-year-old Noboru Ikemoto, were also condemned of multiple murders.
The Justice Ministry had previously announced only the number of people hanged, although Japanese media would reveal their identities.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Nobutaka Machimura said he believed they gained understanding from the public by disclosing the information.
Because executions were being carried out in an appropriate manner with the focus on feelings of the victims.
Although a study published this week showed that rates of crime had fallen further since 2002, opinion polls show most Japanese still favor capital punishment.
Japan's capital punishment has been widely criticized, including by the UN Committee against Torture.
Partly because those on death row are not told when they will be executed until the day they are hanged. Many remain on death row for decades.

Yin, that's a terrible story. I can't even begin to imagine what it feels like, spending your whole life waiting for the day you may be told your life will end - now. Ugh!
Yes, it's true. That is why the policy is so criticized.
And I want to thank you very very much!
Because I haven't expected that someone would leave comments here as it is completely a blog as the result of studying here.
I am very appreciate your words.
