Silent Lunchtime at the Auto Race Academy

Auto Race is professional motorcycle racing in Japan. We go to Ibaraki Prefecture, north of Tokyo, to visit the Auto Race academy, where potential riders go through rigorous training to become professionals. Surprisingly, students are not allowed to talk when they have lunch, but there's a good reason for that. In another segment, we visit a factory that makes customized lighting fixtures and streetlamps for shopping streets across Japan. We take a peek at the bento lunches of the workers there.
