The 6 gorgeous reporters selected from the total of 564 episodes record the growth and excitement of the program. VOL.6 is "Taro Yamamoto Meets Naked Tribe in New Guinea" (aired in 1997 in Indonesia). In Irian Jaya, on the west side of the island of New Guinea, north of Australia, there is a tribe of Dani people who still live naked. The famous actor Taro Yamamoto (22 years old at the time) of "Uluruun Stayki" visited the village where they live. The village of Desa Kama, with a population of 600, is a 15-minute drive or 30-minute walk from the center of Irian Jaya. Yamamoto will stay in this village, which is said to be the birthplace of the Dani tribe. The purpose of this visit is to wear a koteka (penis case), the traditional costume and formal wear of the Dani people. In order to wear the koteka, it was necessary to learn the lifestyle and to be accepted as a member of the tribe. After joining the Dani people and becoming accustomed to their lifestyle, Yamamoto was allowed to wear a tete-a-tete and tried his hand at making one for himself. Wearing the koteka of his dreams, Yamamoto participates in a village wedding and an annual battle ritual festival, and on his farewell day, he presents Japanese songs to the villagers, who love to sing.
