'I'm teaching Japanese people how to smile'

As face mask rules are relaxed in Japan, people in Japan have been taking lessons on how to smile again.

'Smile coaches' have been helping people to get used to smiling naturally. One of them is Keiko Kawano, a smiling teacher at EGAOIKU in Tokyo.

She says many people take part in smile classes, from teenagers to elderly people, in order to prepare for job interviews and day-to-day life.
