Hana Kimura, Her Mother’s Petition and The Rigging of Terrace House

Culture, Graded Japanese Reading & Listening Practice, JLPT1, JLPT2, Level 11

we translate an article from the Shukan Bunshun that outlines how Hana Kimura’s mother, Kyoko Kimura, is petitioning Japan’s broadcasting watchdog to examine how the show Terrace House was set up in a way that ultimately led to Hana’s demise.

Along with the text, we read the article in Japanese, then in English, then sentence by sentence in both languages.
