The NHK Educational TV program "Switch Interview" (Fridays at 9:30 pm), in which actor Yasuda Narumi talks with singer-songwriter Onuki Taeko, will be broadcast for two consecutive weeks on January Getsuku and 16th. In "EP1" on the 9th, Yasuda delves into the secrets behind Onuki's creation of hit songs, which are attracting attention again amid the city pop boom.
In 1988, Yasuda, then 22 years old, recorded the album "Ginger" produced by 33-year-old Onuki Taeko. 38 years later, the two, now adults, have a romantic reunion.
With the city pop boom bringing back attention to Onuki, the program will feature behind-the-scenes stories of his composition of "The Metropolitan Museum of Art," his secret to creating masterpieces, and the secret weapon that keeps his beautiful voice. It will also feature beautiful live footage and behind-the-scenes stories of Onuki's close friend, Ryuichi Sakamoto.
