The variety show "Kaiun! Nandemo Kanteidan" (TV Tokyo, Tuesdays 8:54pm) is hosted by entertainer Koji Imada, freelance announcer Akira Fukuzawa, and former Sakurazaka46 member Yuka Sugai. On November 11th, a shocking appraisal result will be revealed on a letter sent by John F. Kennedy to a Japanese person.
The client's grandfather, Kohei Hanami, served as captain of the destroyer Amagiri during World War II. The captain of the US torpedo boat PT-109, which was rammed and sunk off the coast of the Solomon Islands in the early hours of August 2, 1943, was none other than a young John F. Kennedy.
After the war, when they found out about each other, his grandfather wrote a letter to encourage Kennedy, who was running for the Senate. The treasured item is a letter and photograph that Kennedy sent in reply to him in thanks. The photograph is signed, "Yesterday's enemy is today's friend."
The program preview also describes it as "a valuable document that will go down in history!"
