NHK's popular nature program "Darwin's Coming!" (NHK General) will air a special 20th-anniversary opening episode, "20th Anniversary Opening Special: The Unrelenting Challenge to Shinka," on April 5th at 7:30 PM. The program celebrates its 20th anniversary in April. This special episode will look at the 20-year history and the latest developments from three different "Shinka" perspectives.
The three SHINKAs are "evolution," "true value," and "new song." The program also reflects its relentless pursuit of SHINKA.
First, let's look at the dramatic "evolution" of production technology. We'll present its history with rare footage, and also get an up-close look at the latest location shoots utilizing drones.
The true value of the program lies in its ability to touch the hearts of many viewers. It is said that many people who watched the program as children were inspired to deepen their interest in living creatures and have now fulfilled their dreams of becoming safari guides or researchers, and the reporting team has collaborated with them using the latest technology. Furthermore, a new song by MISIA will be premiered.
