Tokyo (東京, Tōkyō, "Eastern Capital") (Japanese: [toːkjoː], English /ˈtoʊki.oʊ/), officially Tokyo Metropolis (東京都, Tōkyō-to), is one of the 47 prefectures of Japan, and is both the capital and largest city of Japan. The Greater Tokyo Area is the most populous metropolitan area in the world. It is the seat of the Emperor of Japan and the Japanese government. Tokyo is in the Kantō region on the southeastern side of the main island Honshu and includes the Izu Islands and Ogasawara Islands. Formerly known as Edo, it has been the de facto seat of government since 1603 when Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu made the city his headquarters. It officially became the capital after Emperor Meiji moved his seat to the city from the old capital of Kyoto in 1868; at that time Edo was renamed Tokyo. Tokyo Metropolis was formed in 1943 from the merger of the former Tokyo Prefecture (東京府, Tōkyō-fu) and the city of Tokyo (東京市, Tōkyō-shi).
Tokyo Rose (alternative spelling Tokio Rose) was a generic name given by Allied troops in the South Pacific during World War II to what they believed were multiple English-speaking female broadcasters of Japanese propaganda. The broadcasts were aimed at Allied forces in the Pacific, with the intention of lowering morale. "American servicemen in the Pacific often listened to the propaganda broadcasts to get a sense, by reading between the lines, of the effect of their military actions." "She often undermined the anti-American scripts by reading them in a playful, tongue-in-cheek fashion, even going as far as to warn her listeners to expect a “subtle attack” on their morale."
"Farther from the action, stories circulated that Tokyo Rose could be unnervingly accurate, naming units and even individual servicemen". Such stories have never been substantiated by documents such as scripts and recorded broadcasts, but they have been reflected in popular books and films such as Flags of Our Fathers. Similar rumors surround the propaganda broadcasts of Lord Haw-Haw and Axis Sally.
John Sidney McCain III (born August 29, 1936) is the senior United States Senator from Arizona. He was the Republican presidential nominee in the 2008 United States presidential election.
McCain followed his father and grandfather, both four-star admirals, into the United States Navy, graduating from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1958. He became a naval aviator, flying ground-attack aircraft from aircraft carriers. During the Vietnam War, he was almost killed in the 1967 USS Forrestal fire. In October 1967, while on a bombing mission over Hanoi, he was shot down, seriously injured, and captured by the North Vietnamese. He was a prisoner of war until 1973. McCain experienced episodes of torture, and refused an out-of-sequence early repatriation offer. His war wounds left him with lifelong physical limitations.
He retired from the Navy as a captain in 1981 and moved to Arizona, where he entered politics. Elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1982, he served two terms, and was then elected to the U.S. Senate in 1986, winning re-election easily four times, most recently in 2010. While generally adhering to conservative principles, McCain at times has had a media reputation as a "maverick" for his willingness to disagree with his party on certain issues. After being investigated and largely exonerated in a political influence scandal of the 1980s as a member of the Keating Five, he made campaign finance reform one of his signature concerns, which eventually led to the passage of the McCain-Feingold Act in 2002. He is also known for his work towards restoring diplomatic relations with Vietnam in the 1990s, and for his belief that the war in Iraq should be fought to a successful conclusion. McCain has chaired the Senate Commerce Committee, opposed spending that he considered to be pork barrel, and played a key role in alleviating a crisis over judicial nominations.

Plot: Glam God is the story of Bobby Holiday, lead singer of an 80's hair metal glam cover band called Metal Snake. His whole life he's dreamed of becoming famous, not for his amazing vocal abilities or his musical talents or his song writing skills, but for his bronzed chiseled abs, his custom made leopard pants, his high kicks, his high screams and his impeccable blond wig (that sometimes looks like Vince Neil and then sometimes looks like Pamela Anderson.) Beneath Bobby's narcissism lies the true heart of what the documentary is about, which is having a dream and then making that dream come true. Bobby, who's dream was to become a lead singer of an 80's cover band, made his dream come true, it doesn't matter that his dream was only alive for a total of 5 performance shows. Bobby had it all, the groupies, the screaming fans, the spot light, the drugs, the sex and he owned the Rock 'n Roll. Bobby became famous...in his mind. Bobby created a world where he could high kick his way into a shit load of threesomes and outrageous backstage naughtiness. When something sounds or is too good to be true, it usually is and so it was with the rise and fall of Metal Snake, taking place over the course of just 4 live performance shows. It's actually scary to think that this is all real.

The government brings the three survivors to America to raise funds for war, bringing hope to desolate people, and making the three men heroes of the war. However, the traumatized trio has difficulty dealing with the image built by their superiors, sharing the heroism with their mates.

Produced by the U.S. Department of the Treasury in support of the 7th War Loan, "Voice of Truth" and "Hands" are terrific examples of WWII propaganda films. "Voice of Truth" uses a Tokyo Rose broadcast as its conceit, to remind the audience of the stakes in the war. Tokyo Rose (alternative spelling Tokio Rose) was actually a generic name given by Allied forces in the South Pacific during World War II to any of approximately a dozen English-speaking female broadcasters of Japanese propaganda. However, Iva Toguri is the most famously linked name behind the Tokyo Rose. She was a native to Los Angeles who was stranded in Japan when the war broke out. The intent of these enemy broadcasts was to disrupt the morale of Allied forces. American servicemen in the Pacific often listened to the pro...
Iva Ikuko Toguri D'Aquino (July 4, 1916 – September 26, 2006) was an American who participated in English-language propaganda broadcast transmitted by Radio Tokyo to Allied soldiers in the South Pacific during World War II. Although on The Zero Hour radio show, Toguri called herself "Orphan Ann," she quickly became identified with the moniker "Tokyo Rose", a name that was coined by Allied soldiers and that predated her broadcasts.[not verified in body] After the Japanese defeat, Toguri was detained for a year by the United States military before being released for lack of evidence. Department of Justice officials agreed that her broadcasts were "innocuous". But when Toguri tried to return to the US, a popular uproar ensued, prompting the Federal Bureau of Investigation to renew its investi...

WWW.TRUNEWS.COM John McCain’s 1969 “Tokyo Rose” Propaganda Recording Released (TRUNEWS) U.S. Senator John McCain recorded a Tokyo Rose-style propaganda message that was broadcast on North Vietnamese radio in 1969. TRUNEWS acquired the audio recording in cooperation with WeSearchR.com, a new media company founded by Charles Johnson. The 1969 North Vietnamese radio broadcast has never been heard in the United States of America. In fact, there has never been any knowledge that such a recording existed. The audio recording was found in a misplaced file in the National Archives in Washington, D.C. The broadcast was recorded by the Foreign Broadcast Information Service, a branch of the CIA that monitored international shortwave and foreign radio broadcasts. - See more at: http://www.trunews....
Freely downloadable at the Internet Archive, where I first uploaded it. National Archives Identifier: 19130 no description. Source file's audio track is messed up - I've fixed as much as I can. Film of "Tokyo Rose" and unidentified announcer recreating propaganda broadcasts.

Headlong into the sound
We listen closely to find our calling
Each new day urges us to find a way to seperate
Don't let your vagabond shoes carry you too far away
The road is unending, our paths with converge again
I hope this letter I'm sending finds you well
It's been said that the pen is mightier than the sword
Enclosed is my weapon of choice
So beware of the miles that lie between
Sincerely From,
Jersey
How have you been? It's been so long
Hope your daily grind's not too much to bear
So here we are, who would've thought it?
It's like I'm millions of miles away from you
The road is unending, our paths will converge again
I hope this letter I'm sending finds you well
Recounting faded memories
Gives you the foreground in my mind
When I was out there reaching for my dreams
I kept you with me all the time
