This sounds interesting, I'd love to watch it, could you link to one of those videos? I see lots of video results for NHK US, but a lot don't seem to be of the type that you're talking about.
- legerdemain 6y agoNHK is just a national broadcaster, like NBC in the US. I assume the grandparent means semi-promotional documentaries about the Japanese countryside, like this.[1] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6yhndEdqrI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6yhndEdqrI
- hindsightbias 6y agoYT has mostly clips, not the full shows. These are broadcast on HDTV and probably some cable markets. Cycling shows: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/cycle/ https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/cycle/ Train: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/japanrailway/ https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/japanrailway/ The best series is Document 72 Hours: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/72hours/ https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/72hours/ Some can be seen on demand, others, they’ll give a repeat date. These are fascinating, and be warned, they can swing from happy to gut wrenching. There’s one episode where they’re in a Home Center talking to kids about their projects and the next they’re talking to a guy about kitchen tiles. He talks about his wife always wanting a new kitchen, but he was always too busy... and now she’s dead. So he’s working on the kitchen in her memory. It’s an introspection on a society that is fraying at the edges. The producers seem to be trying to communicate that. As Krugman says, if you want to know our future, look to Japan.
