Fun fact The sound hear at 4:25 is still used fo transter any NHK sister channels to a coverage from NHK General. The sound is still in use, mostly for emergency earthquake coverage, but it sounds like there's less reverb than back then.
Thank you for this video. It's so cryptic hearing broadcasts from this period. And thanks for the input on the French broadcast. I'd heard it before but I could never make out the context.
the fact the malayan guy says "and this is our last news" in the middle of the broadcast makes me think he just got handed a note saying "we're being invaded by the japanese" or something
as a italian in "final france broad cast" i can listen this italian word "o vecchio?" "we"(it doesn't mean people but it's a pejorative to call someone) and o vecchio (oh old man) is a pejorative another way to call someone
