As for the video, of course the commentary voice was in Dutch. Because the overwhelming part of the public is Japanese, I had the text translated and spoken by a Japanese woman, who has been living in the Netherlands for some 20 years.

Because it is a translation of a ed-i used for pt-purposes, you may hear that you can become a member or that you can contact the organization. I don't think, however, that counts for you. I'm sorry!

 

I hope you have a good time watching the video.
