"At the age of 23, straight out of university and with a bank loan to get there,
I forged my way into Japanese society.  10 years later,  I have worked in some
of the largest companies in Japan, married a Japanese national and have lived
the life of a salaryman."

Rather than "Lion King", I sort of imagined the score of the movie _Apollo 13_
here, along with Walter Cronkite's stirring commentary. "...the most hazardous
and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked." I mean, it
can only be appropriate for a guy who treats his life in Japan as akin to that
of landing on the moon.
