Apparently, the TV series about deaf people using sign language is airing in Japan. The voice interpretation of everything in sign language is dubbed over in spoken Japanese, but NOT close-captioned! This show should be high priority to receive CC.
I told my deaf friends that we should all collect signatures to have it captioned, but they don't seem interested. I myself can't do the petition because I am a foreigner.
Do you have some success stories I can share with them about how you got various comanies to provide CC?
 
That is because it's easier to dub over than it is to make captions. Deaf awareness in Japan is behind in other countries. Deaf in Japan can't even drive because they can't get a license.
