The speaker is in Sri Lanka, describing it as a fantastic place with great scenery. The primary purpose of this trip is to unravel mysteries surrounding Sri Lanka, which has become a national project. This initiative stems from a visit the previous year (2025) that led to discussions about solving these mysteries, particularly concerning "three Rilakkumas" who are in trouble. Sri Lanka experienced a revolution in its fishing district in the summer of 2022, followed by a new government in 2024, making the current period very fresh and transformative. The speaker emphasizes the incredible ties between Sri Lanka and Japan. With the new administration, previously hidden information is expected to be disclosed. The current filming involves the government and is a mystery-solving series investigating secrets in "Fishing Ranka." This episode is crucial for understanding Sri Lanka as a country, the process leading to the current government, and its inner workings. The speaker is introduced to Mr. Glen, who will be their guide. They visit Colombo, a large and economically important city. They are surprised to find a Japanese establishment named "Yakitori Nihonbashi Tori," highlighting the strong and long-standing relationship between Japan and Sri Lanka. Japan has provided significant support, including the development of the container terminal at the port, which was built by Japanese people. The transcript then provides a geographical and demographic overview of Sri Lanka: an island nation south of India with about 22 million people, an area of 65,000 square kilometers (0.8 times the size of Hokkaido), and roughly 70% Buddhist population with many ancient ruins and a high density of World Heritage sites. The Japan Container Terminal in Colombo is mentioned again as a catalyst for the campus's growth, with its name "Jaya" linked to former President Jayawardena, who had strong ties to Japan. To understand this connection, the speaker visits the Jayawardena Center, where Jayawardena's grandson is the director. They learn about Jayawardena's visits to Japan and his speech at the 1951 San Francisco Peace Conference. A significant part of the transcript focuses on this speech, where Jayawardena, representing Sri Lanka, forgave Japan's war reparations, stating that "hatred does not make one sick, but only love does." He extended a hand of friendship, calling for a new chapter of peace and prosperity with Japan. This act, largely unknown to most Japanese people today, is highlighted as a pivotal moment. The transcript mentions that President Jayawardena died in 1996 but continued to think of Japan, even having his cornea transplanted to a Japanese woman. Sri Lankan currency also features elements related to Japanese aid, such as the Manampitiya Bridge. Other Japanese-supported projects include the National Medical Center and general hospitals. The discussion shifts to the internal dynamics of Sri Lanka, noting the country's division into Sinhala and Tamil populations, who live together in a somewhat coercive manner. The history since independence in 1948 is marked by civil war, particularly between the Sinhala and Tamil people, which lasted 26 years and ended in 2009. The post-war period saw economic collapse due to privatization and over-dependence on China, leading to a citizen revolution in 2022 and the formation of a new government. The speaker expresses amazement at a dedicated room for Japan within the museum. The narrative then shifts to a welcoming reception for the speaker, with government officials, police, and national TV present. They are offered coconut juice and then proceed to a temple. Inside the temple, various deities and symbolic representations are observed, including Vishnu and Nataraja (Kannon in Japan). A significant detail is a "straight red dragon," distinct from Japanese dragons, and a compilation of hybrid animals representing reincarnation, illustrating a story of a journey from suffering to becoming human. The speaker notes that while many foreigners might not know about such temples, they aim to encourage Japanese people to visit. A meal is served, described as delicious, and the speaker notes their familiarity with eating with hands from their time in India. Following the meal, they witness a traditional dance performance, featuring a depiction of Ravana, a king from the Ramayana, and a symbolic scene from the founding myth of Sri Lanka. The speaker is unexpectedly asked to give an impromptu greeting, expressing their learning experience in Sri Lanka and plans to share it through videos and a planned tour. The episode concludes with the speaker looking forward to the next installment, emphasizing that the relationship with Sri Lanka is ongoing and there is more to come.
