00:00:00Over the past five years, and since last year, a new series of broadcasts have begun.
00:00:04Project X Challengers.
00:00:06Huge infrastructure construction, the birth of revolutionary products,
00:00:11and the great struggle at the site of the accident, and so on.
00:00:16About 200 episodes of the drama of the stars on the ground.
00:00:20Now, tonight's special edition is a story after the project that has been broadcast so far.
00:00:30Project X Challengers
00:00:38Project X Challengers
00:01:00Project X Challengers
00:01:30Project X Challengers
00:01:53I heard that everyone who came to the studio today also watched the broadcast.
00:01:58It's a show that makes you cry.
00:02:01I feel like I'm crying even though I haven't even seen the theme song.
00:02:06I'm a big fan.
00:02:08When I'm with the director, it's quite painful.
00:02:12I've been watching it over and over again.
00:02:15There are a lot of recordings.
00:02:17There are so many that you can listen to anything.
00:02:20I like documentaries.
00:02:24My hair is messed up.
00:02:27It's kind of like anime.
00:02:30I love to hear the voice of the scene.
00:02:34First of all, please take a look at this.
00:02:38The one who appeared in the studio is the national treasure of the Todaiji Nandaimon.
00:02:43It's a Japanese statue.
00:02:45It's the same size as the real thing.
00:02:47It's 8.4 meters.
00:02:51It's huge.
00:02:52When it comes to Project X, there's no shortage of restoration and restoration of cultural property.
00:02:59There were other things like this.
00:03:02For example, Himeji Castle, Yakushiji Kondo, and Kinkaku.
00:03:11This time, we're going to focus on Okinawa's Shuri Castle.
00:03:16The story after that.
00:03:18This is the current progress.
00:03:23Shuri Castle, where the Japanese military headquarters were located in 1945.
00:03:31It was destroyed without a trace after the concentration fire of the U.S. military.
00:03:3827 years under American rule.
00:03:44For the people of Okinawa who suffered, the revival of Shuri Castle was a dream.
00:03:56But there are no color photos left.
00:04:00Many of the documents were lost in the war.
00:04:09At that time, Takara Kurayoshi, 37 years old, stood up.
00:04:16He was called the demon of the Shuri Castle.
00:04:22He visited Okinawa's islands and universities all over the country.
00:04:27He thoroughly excavated the Shuri Castle during the Ryukyu period.
00:04:39One of the documents, Sunpoki.
00:04:47The details of the Shuri Castle were written in detail.
00:04:59I think they challenged us.
00:05:03They challenged us to see how much we could do.
00:05:09Takara stood up to the challenge.
00:05:17Many craftsmen, such as Kawara Shokunin, shed their blood.
00:05:24In 1992, Okinawa's pride was finally revived.
00:05:34But...
00:05:54The Shuri Castle was destroyed again.
00:06:15The people of Okinawa did not give up.
00:06:22Soon, the Reiwa Reconstruction Project was launched.
00:06:28Funds from Japan and abroad were collected.
00:06:38The Shuri Castle, which was lost 6 years ago.
00:06:42The reconstruction is in full swing on the hill.
00:06:51Nice to meet you.
00:06:55We are currently working on the main construction of the Shuri Castle.
00:07:01The red tiles are impressive.
00:07:06There are about 60,000 tiles in total.
00:07:10The roof is almost blown up.
00:07:14We are working on the completion of the roof next fall.
00:07:22On the day I visited,
00:07:24extremely important work was underway.
00:07:31Painting the wall.
00:07:38What a nice color.
00:07:42What we are doing now is the final coating.
00:07:50This is the color you will see.
00:07:57Actually, this red.
00:08:02It is a little different from the red of the restoration of Heisei.
00:08:11The Reiwa Reconstruction Project is underway.
00:08:18The main role is played by the demon of the Komonjo, Takara Kurayoshi.
00:08:27Takara had a wish that could not be fulfilled in the restoration of Heisei.
00:08:36The red of the outer wall.
00:08:41He had to find out what kind of red it was in the Ryukyu Kingdom.
00:08:49In the restoration of the Reiwa,
00:08:52we had to find out what it really was,
00:08:55and restore it to its original form.
00:08:58This is our mission.
00:09:01The red of the illusion.
00:09:04The key to solving the mystery of the Komonjo
00:09:07was written in the Shoukei Monjo,
00:09:10which was passed down to the royal family of the Ryukyu Kingdom.
00:09:16In order to paint the outer wall of the Seiden,
00:09:19the Bengarashu was obtained by Kusimagiri.
00:09:27Kusimagiri is the name of a region in the northern part of the main island.
00:09:35On the other hand, the Bengara is a red pigment made from red clay and other minerals.
00:09:46This request was made by the Kaizuri Bugyosho,
00:09:51a pharmacy that produces the best Urushi craftsmen in the Ryukyu Kingdom.
00:09:59When I found out about this, I told everyone,
00:10:02it's like a huge Ryukyu Shiki.
00:10:08But what is the Bengara of Kusimagiri?
00:10:13It was impossible to find out, and time was running out.
00:10:17The restoration of the Heisei period was impossible.
00:10:24The Bengara was entrusted to the late Atsushi, a researcher.
00:10:33He headed to the northern part of the main island,
00:10:37a place formerly known as Kusimagiri.
00:10:44He searched thoroughly for red clay and minerals that could be found in the area.
00:10:54But he couldn't find any.
00:10:58One day...
00:11:02I heard from a local junior high school student that there was a red river.
00:11:06I asked, why is this river red?
00:11:08The junior high school student said, it's called the Chino River.
00:11:13Koki arrived at the site.
00:11:18He was surprised.
00:11:22The thin river was hidden in the grass.
00:11:25The thin river was hidden in the grass.
00:11:27The thin river was hidden in the grass.
00:11:36The red clay was a rusted red clay.
00:11:41The red clay was a rusted red clay.
00:11:49He hurriedly brought it back and turned it into clay.
00:11:54He hurriedly brought it back and turned it into clay.
00:12:07The rusted red clay.
00:12:15It was overflowing with preciousness beyond imagination.
00:12:25The rusted red clay that couldn't be reproduced in the restoration of Heisei.
00:12:34It was overflowing with preciousness beyond imagination.
00:12:41The rusted red clay that he pursued with his whole life.
00:12:46He arrived at an answer.
00:12:54I'm going to ask Mr. Takara about the Oni in Komonjo.
00:12:59Why did you have to search and explore Komonjo one by one to restore the rusted red clay?
00:13:08Why did you have to search and explore Komonjo one by one to restore the rusted red clay?
00:13:13What I've always said is,
00:13:15what is lost in war,
00:13:17what is lost in war,
00:13:20but the rusted red clay can be revived in the form of the kingdom by us today.
00:13:28That's what Okinawa is.
00:13:30Okinawa, which has a long history of suffering, should be able to do that.
00:13:34You felt that you had a responsibility as a member.
00:13:41I want many people to see and feel it.
00:13:44I want many people to see and feel it.
00:13:48Mr. Takara, as far as I know,
00:13:51the rusted red clay has disappeared at least five times.
00:13:56What?
00:13:57I went to the site and felt a sense of commitment that it can be revived even if it is lost.
00:14:05What did you think?
00:14:07At first, I thought it was just red.
00:14:12But I was surprised to find that the original rusted red clay had such a good color.
00:14:20Come to think of it, I thought it was red.
00:14:25After the restoration of Heisei?
00:14:28I didn't think so.
00:14:30I thought it would turn red over time.
00:14:35I thought so, too.
00:14:37But I was wrong.
00:14:41I'm glad that Mr. Takara is fine.
00:14:46He is a strange person.
00:14:48But if he goes back to the original state, he may be able to find the red clay again.
00:14:56People are important.
00:15:03Reconstruction of Reiwa
00:15:05Many young craftsmen support it.
00:15:11About half of Miyadai-ku, which has about 50 people, are in their 20s and 30s.
00:15:20Are you a vice-president?
00:15:24How old are you?
00:15:26I'm 29.
00:15:27Are you a vice-president at the age of 29?
00:15:29Vice-president.
00:15:30How old are you?
00:15:3124.
00:15:3224?
00:15:33I'm 22.
00:15:3422?
00:15:35I'm 23.
00:15:38You're all in your 20s.
00:15:40I'm a young Miyadai.
00:15:42You're a vice-president at the age of 29.
00:15:45Do you think you're still young?
00:15:49No, I don't think so.
00:15:51You don't think so?
00:15:52No, I don't think so.
00:15:53You don't think you're being forced to be a vice-president because the camera is rolling?
00:15:56Until now, I was more of a younger person.
00:16:01It was new to see so many younger people working here.
00:16:11Why are there so many young craftsmen working here?
00:16:15In the future, in the 50s and 100s,
00:16:19young craftsmen will be able to participate in the maintenance and repair of the shop.
00:16:25They will actively participate in the maintenance and repair, and improve the quality of the work.
00:16:28That's what we're doing now.
00:16:33One of the young craftsmen,
00:16:35Mr. Himari Nohara, a sculptor.
00:16:38He's 26 years old.
00:16:41He's challenging himself to become a dragon in the sacred temple, which is called the face of Shurijo.
00:16:50You don't have to be scared, but you don't have to panic.
00:16:56Mr. Kiyosada Sunada, a master craftsman.
00:16:59He sculpted a dragon with a sense of dynamism.
00:17:06That's amazing.
00:17:09Whether it's a drink, a feeling, or a direction,
00:17:13I'm told to try it out little by little, no matter what it is.
00:17:21Mr. Hikari Uehara, 29 years old.
00:17:24He's a master craftsman who was entrusted with the red paint of Shurijo.
00:17:30Mr. Hikari Uehara, 29 years old.
00:17:34He examines the changes in the state of the paint and paints it.
00:17:40It's like when you pass through a brush.
00:17:43It's a little heavy.
00:17:45You have to feel it with your hands.
00:17:49It's a little exciting.
00:17:53We're doing the same thing as the old craftsmen.
00:17:57It's exciting.
00:18:01Is there a way to connect young people to the next generation?
00:18:07Yes, there is.
00:18:08It's a restoration of Heisei and Reiwa.
00:18:11Maintenance is essential at the rate of once every half century.
00:18:16If you think about the future,
00:18:18you have to have young people who will inherit such technology.
00:18:22That's how it works.
00:18:24That's really important.
00:18:26You have to think about the future.
00:18:29It's the same in sports.
00:18:31You have to win now.
00:18:33You have to make the best thing now.
00:18:35You have to think about the future.
00:18:37It's always more difficult to judge.
00:18:40When I look at it now,
00:18:42the next generation is really thinking about it,
00:18:44and the person who decides it is decided.
00:18:46It's amazing.
00:18:50Mr. Agawa, how did you see the importance and difficulty of restoration?
00:18:54When I met the 14th generation of Ritayaki,
00:18:57I asked them,
00:18:59what kind of person is suitable as a disciple?
00:19:02What kind of person is good?
00:19:04They said,
00:19:06a person who is clumsy.
00:19:08I thought,
00:19:10you can't do Ritayaki if you're not clever.
00:19:12But it's different.
00:19:14A clever person learns easily.
00:19:16If you learn, you'll be discouraged.
00:19:18But a clumsy person thinks,
00:19:20I can't do it.
00:19:22If you keep doing it for 10 years,
00:19:24you'll be able to do it.
00:19:26If you live a long life,
00:19:28you'll be discouraged.
00:19:30In that sense,
00:19:32it's the same for baseball.
00:19:34It's the same.
00:19:36A person who thinks he has a good sense
00:19:38doesn't last long.
00:19:40People who can do it don't know why they can do it.
00:19:42When it collapses,
00:19:44they don't know how to put it back.
00:19:46They can do it intuitively.
00:19:48But people who have been doing it for a long time
00:19:50don't know how to put it back.
00:19:52That's how I see it.
00:20:00In the 49th year of the Showa era,
00:20:02a hit song was born.
00:20:12I don't know what started
00:20:14at this time.
00:20:16But this grasp was perfect.
00:20:20Mr. Hikaru Ijuin,
00:20:22who is active on TV and radio.
00:20:24What is Project X
00:20:26for Mr. Ijuin?
00:20:32I have everything
00:20:34that was released on DVD.
00:20:36I had a strange way of looking at it.
00:20:38At that time,
00:20:40I bought a portable player for DVD.
00:20:42I was on a diet.
00:20:44I went to the gym.
00:20:46I've been watching it
00:20:48when I'm on a diet.
00:20:50When the climax
00:20:52was just getting tough,
00:20:54the story reached its peak.
00:20:56They did their best.
00:20:58I'll do my best, too.
00:21:00Where did it
00:21:02shake your heart so much?
00:21:04Of course,
00:21:06someone did their best
00:21:08for something
00:21:10that was convenient.
00:21:12I was born
00:21:14in 1942.
00:21:16How can I put this?
00:21:18A certain degree of great invention
00:21:20felt like it was over.
00:21:22The TV was already
00:21:24out of color.
00:21:26Copiers could be copied
00:21:28at stationery stores.
00:21:30I was born
00:21:32after such a hard time.
00:21:34The Tokyo Tower was already built.
00:21:38I didn't know
00:21:40the world without it.
00:21:42I saw the Tokyo Tower
00:21:44and wondered
00:21:46how these people
00:21:48got together and built it.
00:21:50Nowadays,
00:21:52it's extremely dangerous.
00:21:54People who work
00:21:56according to their expectations
00:21:58get together
00:22:00and say,
00:22:02I want to get involved, too.
00:22:04When I walk by the Tokyo Tower again,
00:22:06the scenery changes a little.
00:22:08For the first time in Project X,
00:22:10history and life
00:22:12are connected.
00:22:22Infections such as malaria
00:22:24and blood clots spread.
00:22:26Next,
00:22:28a screenwriter,
00:22:30Ms. Erika Yoshida,
00:22:32drew women
00:22:34who lived
00:22:36in difficult times
00:22:38in her morning TV novel,
00:22:40and called me.
00:22:42Why?
00:22:44Because you're a woman.
00:22:46What?
00:22:48Your old novel
00:22:50was broadcast in 2000-2005.
00:22:52You were 17 at the time.
00:22:54Were you in middle school or high school?
00:22:56I think so.
00:22:58I was impressed
00:23:00by the memories
00:23:02I saw in class
00:23:04and the theme song.
00:23:06Was there anything
00:23:08that impressed you?
00:23:10I was impressed
00:23:12by the stories
00:23:14of nurses
00:23:16who worked
00:23:18right after the war
00:23:20in Okinawa.
00:23:22After the war,
00:23:24this program
00:23:26depicted women nurses
00:23:28who worked hard
00:23:30in Okinawa
00:23:32during the outbreak
00:23:34of the infection.
00:23:36It's a story
00:23:38about a woman
00:23:40who had to sacrifice
00:23:42her family
00:23:44for the sake
00:23:46of her children.
00:23:48It's a story
00:23:50that makes you want
00:23:52to hide it.
00:23:54For example,
00:23:56the story of a woman
00:23:58who died
00:24:00because she didn't
00:24:02notice the change
00:24:04in her life.
00:24:06It's a story
00:24:08about a woman
00:24:10who didn't
00:24:12have to sacrifice
00:24:14her family
00:24:16for the sake
00:24:18of her children.
00:24:20It's a story
00:24:22about a woman
00:24:24who didn't
00:24:26have to sacrifice
00:24:28her family
00:24:30for the sake
00:24:32of her children.
00:24:34It's a story
00:24:36about a woman
00:24:38who didn't
00:24:40have to sacrifice
00:24:42her family
00:24:44for the sake
00:24:46of her children.
00:24:48It's a story
00:24:50about a woman
00:24:52who didn't
00:24:54have to sacrifice
00:24:56her family
00:24:58for the sake
00:25:00of her children.
00:25:04Now, let's move on.
00:25:08In Project X,
00:25:10there are many stories
00:25:12about Japanese products
00:25:14called made-in-Japan.
00:25:16There are many stories
00:25:18about Japanese products
00:25:20called made-in-Japan.
00:25:22I think that
00:25:24Japanese products
00:25:26have a high level
00:25:28of Japanese culture.
00:25:30I think it's wonderful.
00:25:32When you look at the back
00:25:34of the electronics,
00:25:36don't you feel happy
00:25:38when it says
00:25:40made in Japan?
00:25:42It's not that old.
00:25:44I'm sorry.
00:25:46This time,
00:25:48it's a story
00:25:50about a made-in-Japan
00:25:52that experienced
00:25:54a downfall
00:25:56A few years ago, one morning in 2008,
00:26:03it was the dawn of a new era.
00:26:06I found out about the acquisition of my beloved company,
00:26:10which had been in the news for over 20 years.
00:26:17To be honest, I didn't think it would collapse.
00:26:21We had about 30,000 to 40,000 employees.
00:26:25We had factories all over the world,
00:26:28and we had about 100,000 employees.
00:26:30I never thought we would lose a company of this level.
00:26:36The third generation of electricity,
00:26:40which opened the era of home appliances in Japan after the war.
00:26:45In Project X,
00:26:47we depicted the drama of employees spreading home appliances.
00:26:57The third generation of electricity,
00:27:00which grew from an excellent sales force and technology
00:27:04to a company that represents Japan.
00:27:15However, nine years after the broadcast,
00:27:19it was acquired by its rival, Panasonic.
00:27:28It was the 65th year since the company was founded,
00:27:31and it was decided to put the sign down.
00:27:36Japan's economy, which had been in a slump for a long time
00:27:40since the collapse of the bubble.
00:27:51China and South Korea,
00:27:54who had been fighting to replace Japan.
00:27:58China and South Korea.
00:28:03Made in Japan, which was superior in terms of technology,
00:28:06had no reason to lose.
00:28:09At first, many companies looked at it coldly.
00:28:18However, due to the overwhelming low price,
00:28:21Japanese manufacturers, including Sanyo,
00:28:25did not have the means to do so.
00:28:31In addition, a time came to surprise Sanyo employees.
00:28:41The department of home appliances, such as washing machines,
00:28:44was cut off from Panasonic.
00:28:49And it was sold to a Chinese manufacturer, Hi-R.
00:29:00It is said to create a subsidiary company
00:29:03that produces products for Japan.
00:29:11The leader of the sales department, Naoki Nishizawa.
00:29:16I never thought I would work for a subsidiary company
00:29:20that I used to look down on.
00:29:26When I first saw Hi-R's products,
00:29:30I thought I would never lose.
00:29:36I thought, wouldn't this be sold in Japan?
00:29:40I thought, wouldn't this be sold in Japan?
00:29:44Nishizawa's subordinate, Minoru Ozaki, a salesman.
00:29:49He thought he could leave Sanyo's corporate style to a new organization.
00:29:57My parents were Sanyo employees.
00:30:00I strongly believed that I didn't want to lose my position.
00:30:06I was happy when I was told that I would start a company from scratch.
00:30:15However, Masahiro Naito, who was in charge of development,
00:30:20was worried.
00:30:25I didn't know what kind of company it was.
00:30:30I thought I would be fired.
00:30:35I didn't know what kind of company it was.
00:30:38That anxiety became a reality.
00:30:44Soon, Naito was outraged by the policy of his parent company.
00:30:53Develop a new washing machine and release it in April next year.
00:31:01It took two years for the Sanyo machine to be released.
00:31:08It was a short period of less than a year.
00:31:12In addition, it was said that postponement would never be allowed.
00:31:22Two weeks after Hi-R's announcement,
00:31:26Naito and Nishizawa headed to the head office in China.
00:31:34There was a huge factory in Shikichi.
00:31:38I asked if they made everything here.
00:31:41They said, no, this is part of a Chinese factory.
00:31:45There are about 30 industrial units.
00:31:48I was surprised at the scale.
00:31:51Hi-R was established in the form of a multinational company.
00:32:03Its founder, Zhao Zuibin, learned the philosophy of Japanese companies,
00:32:09including Konosuke Matsushita.
00:32:14Zhao Zuibin's factory is Hi-R's innovation factory.
00:32:22With strict employee training, Naito's technical skills improved rapidly.
00:32:28In just 25 years, he became a shareholder of the world's largest company,
00:32:34Hi-R.
00:32:36In just 25 years, he became a shareholder of the world's largest company,
00:32:42Hi-R.
00:32:52Naito explained the project to the executives at the head office in China.
00:33:00I was shocked at the speed of his decision.
00:33:07It was really fast.
00:33:09I decided on the spot.
00:33:11It was all decided on the spot.
00:33:15I brought it home and looked at it, but there was nothing.
00:33:20Naito's plan was accepted,
00:33:23and the construction of the manufacturing line was decided on the spot.
00:33:30The domestic business was also confused by the speed of Hi-R.
00:33:39The business was desperate to secure a place to sell.
00:33:49An unknown subsidiary of a Chinese company.
00:33:54An unknown subsidiary of a Chinese company.
00:34:00Ozaki kept going to local shops without land,
00:34:05and kept lowering his head.
00:34:10Then...
00:34:13When I went to the shop,
00:34:16the first person I met was the president.
00:34:19I told him I was an ex-employee, and he said it was okay.
00:34:24If you're going to do it, we'll support you.
00:34:30That's what he said.
00:34:32When I heard that, I cried.
00:34:38Then, in April 2012,
00:34:42the new products that Naito had planned were safely lined up on the sales floor.
00:34:54Since then, Naito has been planning new products one after another.
00:35:02He continues to develop his own products.
00:35:08Nishizawa became the vice president of a subsidiary company.
00:35:16He read the newspaper.
00:35:18The days of a bustling life began in the early morning.
00:35:23Now, he looks back.
00:35:29I think I failed because I couldn't change.
00:35:35I think I failed because I couldn't change.
00:35:38Success is important,
00:35:41but I don't want to fail again.
00:35:46If the world is going to change,
00:35:49I want to feel it and change myself.
00:35:55The company's parents have changed,
00:35:58but the technicians are still working hard.
00:36:02He said he had to change.
00:36:07I think it's the same with baseball.
00:36:10When you're in the top, you're number one in Japan.
00:36:14Of course, it's a proud thing,
00:36:17but you have to be careful.
00:36:20The energy to chase is stronger.
00:36:23When we have a strong team,
00:36:26we don't feel like we're losing.
00:36:29I've been through a lot of pain,
00:36:32and I can't do it.
00:36:34That's when I have to evolve.
00:36:37When I think I can do it,
00:36:39the team changes.
00:36:41If I don't evolve, I can't keep evolving.
00:36:44That's why I couldn't change.
00:36:46There was something I could feel.
00:36:48No one says that the company was going to collapse.
00:36:53I don't know when it's going to collapse.
00:36:56I think it was such an era.
00:36:59What kind of experience do you have?
00:37:02If I don't do well in baseball,
00:37:05I can do what I want to do
00:37:08because I can't do it well.
00:37:11If you do what you really want to do,
00:37:14you can change.
00:37:16If you think so, you'll be a little more energetic.
00:37:20You can do what you want to do.
00:37:23It's like a chance has come.
00:37:28I've been living at the bottom all the time.
00:37:32What do you mean?
00:37:34No matter what,
00:37:36people can save me,
00:37:39and I can save myself.
00:37:43No matter how much AI comes out,
00:37:48I don't feel like I'm shaking.
00:37:51I think it's the value of being human.
00:38:00Here's the next one.
00:38:03It's a transistor radio,
00:38:06a trinitron TV,
00:38:09a walkman,
00:38:11a CD player,
00:38:13a video camera,
00:38:15and AIBO.
00:38:17These are Sony products.
00:38:20It's been a long time since Sony competed with Korean and Chinese manufacturers
00:38:25and had a hard time.
00:38:28That's right.
00:38:29Sony has revived a product that was once discontinued
00:38:34seven years ago.
00:38:37This is the dog-shaped robot AIBO.
00:38:46January 2018
00:38:51AIBO is back.
00:38:58This dog-shaped robot
00:39:03was first introduced in 1999.
00:39:09It's a robot that lives with you as a pet.
00:39:13It's a robot that lives with you as a pet.
00:39:18It's a big topic.
00:39:25However, three years after the broadcast,
00:39:28it was discontinued due to low profitability.
00:39:35It was nine years later.
00:39:41AIBO, I want to do it again.
00:39:45I heard a voice from everywhere in the company.
00:39:49I heard a voice from everywhere in the company.
00:39:54Masahiro Fujita, the technology leader of development,
00:39:58who appeared in a previous program.
00:40:01Masahiro Fujita, the technology leader of development,
00:40:08It's a little different from the technology of the 2000s in 1999.
00:40:15For example, AIBO beat the human champion.
00:40:21I'm not going to say the name,
00:40:24but there's a humanoid that talks to customers.
00:40:28I'm not going to say the name,
00:40:31but there's a humanoid that talks to customers.
00:40:38Fujita turned to the management.
00:40:45Please let me be revived.
00:40:48Now is the time.
00:40:55The thought went through.
00:41:01At that time, Sony was just getting started with the red paper department.
00:41:10However, it did not produce innovative new products.
00:41:17The president, Kazuo Hirai,
00:41:20There were some officials who opposed the revival,
00:41:23but they put out a sign.
00:41:29The construction of an ideal factory that can be freely developed and fun.
00:41:37The spirit of manufacturing inherited from the founder, Masaru Ibuka.
00:41:50I wanted to go back to the beginning.
00:41:55The employees are very energetic,
00:41:58and they're showing off a lot of creativity.
00:42:01I'm going to use Sony's new method,
00:42:04I'm going to use Sony's new method,
00:42:07I'm going to use Sony's new method,
00:42:11Morinaga Eiichiro entrusted the project.
00:42:16He was a passionate robot lover who made it as a hobby.
00:42:24When I joined, Mr. Ibuka and Mr. Yuta were still fine.
00:42:28I learned a lot.
00:42:31Make what you want with all your might.
00:42:35While I was still at the company,
00:42:38I thought it would be nice if AIBO could be revived.
00:42:42I thought it was an opportunity.
00:42:46Morinaga spoke directly to young employees who seemed to be interested,
00:42:52and gathered the main members.
00:43:00Mikan Nagae.
00:43:02She was in charge of the PlayStation product planning,
00:43:07and I thought it was interesting.
00:43:13Nagae said this while drawing a picture of the members.
00:43:21Let's make AIBO, which has never been done before,
00:43:25by using new technology.
00:43:31I thought it had to be something that was always eye-catching.
00:43:37I wanted to make it as cute as possible.
00:43:47Nagae drew pictures one after another to convey the cuteness she thought.
00:43:56What kind of gesture is cute when you wake up,
00:44:02and what kind of gesture is cute?
00:44:09Nagae continued to draw.
00:44:17Morita Takuma, an engineer who was entrusted with the development of AIBO's brain.
00:44:24He held his head in front of a huge picture.
00:44:32It was a strange picture that Nagae gave me.
00:44:37I looked at it and said,
00:44:39I'll leave the rest to you,
00:44:41so I thought about it a lot and made it.
00:44:44It was difficult to figure out how far to go.
00:44:49Morita programmed the action to change depending on how the affection was applied.
00:45:02What I was particular about was that
00:45:06I wanted it to change depending on how I approached AIBO in each household.
00:45:12In the end, I wanted the members to know that this is definitely my child.
00:45:21The camera and sensor were equipped with the latest technology.
00:45:26I made it possible to learn the expression of affection,
00:45:30such as who is in contact with what kind of expression,
00:45:34and how often they pat their heads.
00:45:44Give me your hand.
00:45:47For example, when you are told to give me your hand,
00:45:51AIBO obeys, but
00:45:57if affection is not enough, it ignores it and starts walking somewhere.
00:46:09However, as the software of the robot's brain became more and more sufficient,
00:46:15a new problem arose.
00:46:21Naoyuki Izu is in charge of AIBO's hardware.
00:46:32As Morita's demands increased,
00:46:35it became increasingly difficult to make hardware.
00:46:44All the parts tend to gather here.
00:46:49I had to connect the torso with various parts.
00:46:55It was very difficult to design so that there would be no problems there.
00:47:03As the number of new gestures increased,
00:47:06his head became heavier and he could no longer walk.
00:47:12When he shook his head violently like a real dog,
00:47:18his ears flew.
00:47:23The discussion among the members became more and more heated day by day.
00:47:30It had been a long time since he joined the extension line
00:47:35at a bar near his company.
00:47:40Before I release a product,
00:47:43I have a lot of fun with various walls and bugs.
00:47:47I have a lot of fun with various walls and bugs.
00:47:50I have a lot of fun with various walls and bugs.
00:47:53As I made more and more prototypes,
00:47:57I felt bad to see them.
00:47:59I felt bad to see them.
00:48:01I thought they were so kind that I could improve on my work.
00:48:04I thought they were so kind that I could improve on my work.
00:48:09It was fun to work with them.
00:48:17And then...
00:48:20I did it!
00:48:24In 2018, it was finally completed.
00:48:32From a carefree workplace, a pleasant product was born.
00:48:42Give me a paw.
00:48:45A dog-shaped robot full of ideas.
00:48:51With the revival, the atmosphere at the development site began to change.
00:49:03This year, aiming to be released in the United States, Honda and electric cars are being developed.
00:49:14I'm thrilled to be here with you.
00:49:18Through conversation, AI learns the owner's thoughts.
00:49:24Your favorite music and videos play.
00:49:28Aiming for a car that is like a partner.
00:49:32It's a difficult surgery to use a microscope.
00:49:41I started developing a robot to support it.
00:49:51The moment this is done, I can see the future, not the next ray of light.
00:49:58It's a challenge to new things, a challenge to the future.
00:50:03It's Sony's DNA to be able to release such a unique product.
00:50:13It was impressive that everyone was saying,
00:50:16It was impressive that everyone was saying,
00:50:19It was impressive that everyone was saying,
00:50:21Mr. Kuriyama, you're looking at my child.
00:50:25Mr. Kuriyama, you're looking at my child.
00:50:29Organizations are fun and exciting.
00:50:34I feel that happy feelings lead to good things.
00:50:38I feel that happy feelings lead to good things.
00:50:42It's a way to think about fun things.
00:50:48Did you succeed in that?
00:50:51If you're good at thinking, you can leave it to the company.
00:50:59If you're good at thinking, you can leave it to the company.
00:51:04There are a lot of companies that have decided what to do.
00:51:09There are a lot of companies that have decided what to do.
00:51:12I agree.
00:51:14I take responsibility, so you guys do it.
00:51:17It's really hard to get out of this.
00:51:22I take responsibility, but I'm very concerned about how big my heart is.
00:51:30Next is this.
00:51:32It's a Japanese representative car.
00:51:36It's a Japanese representative car.
00:51:39Mr. Kuriyama, what was the first car you drove?
00:51:42COSMO SPORTS.
00:51:45When I first drove it, I crashed into a car and was very angry.
00:51:50When I was a student, I couldn't go on a date without a car.
00:51:54So I made my own tape.
00:51:58If you drive around here, it's a beer factory.
00:52:02I thought boys were cute.
00:52:06Japan has come to say that cars are not good at manufacturing.
00:52:11I think it's a field that's still struggling with the world.
00:52:16But we're in a very difficult time.
00:52:21If you don't respond to electric or automatic driving, you won't survive.
00:52:29The next VTR will feature the world's only rotary-engined car manufacturer, Mazda.
00:52:42Mazda is based in Hiroshima.
00:52:48It has survived the world's competition by making its own car.
00:52:59In 2023, a car announced by Mazda became a hot topic.
00:53:13The engine it was equipped with was special.
00:53:18Rotary engine.
00:53:21It was the company's symbol that only Mazda in the world succeeded in mass production.
00:53:32The normal engine has a piston that moves up and down.
00:53:40The rotary engine has a piston that moves up and down.
00:53:48By rotating the knot-shaped rotor, you can generate powerful power.
00:53:55It was said to be a dream engine.
00:54:04A strong acceleration.
00:54:07Moreover, the engine is small and light, so you can drive it well.
00:54:14It used to be sold mainly as a sports car.
00:54:21However, in the 1990s, sales declined.
00:54:27In addition, environmental issues became a concern.
00:54:32Rotary cars with poor fuel efficiency gradually stopped selling.
00:54:38The company continued to develop the rotary engine, raising questions.
00:54:52In 2012, the rotary engine was sold out.
00:54:57However, the technicians did not give up.
00:55:27Shimizu Ritsuaru, the leader.
00:55:32He devoted all his life as a technician to the rotary engine.
00:55:41If you don't do anything, the rotary engine will be gone.
00:55:45We have to make a rotary engine that is suitable for the environment.
00:56:03The rotary engine is originally a sports car engine.
00:56:08However, the market is small and it is hard to find a good one.
00:56:15It is difficult to find a good one.
00:56:21Is there any way to use it more widely?
00:56:26Shimizu and his team came up with a crazy idea.
00:56:36Unlike a normal engine with a piston moving up and down,
00:56:42the rotary engine rotates.
00:56:46If you apply this principle, you can turn the generator efficiently.
00:56:57If you combine a generator and an electric car,
00:57:01you can measure the survival of the rotary engine.
00:57:05However, this engine has been developed for sports cars for many years.
00:57:12It seemed reckless.
00:57:17The opinions of the technicians were divided.
00:57:23Yoshinori Ogata, who entered the company because he admired the rotary engine.
00:57:28It was complicated.
00:57:30I didn't imagine such a thing until I joined the company.
00:57:35I wanted to make a sports car engine.
00:57:39I was a little confused about whether to make a generator.
00:57:47On the other hand, there were some old ones.
00:57:51It was difficult to make a rotary engine.
00:57:56On the other hand, there were some old ones.
00:58:02The person in charge of the body design department, Isao Toda.
00:58:10He was involved in the development of the rotary engine.
00:58:15He was involved in the development of the rotary engine.
00:58:21The use of the rotary engine became the key to Akaji's escape.
00:58:31I thought it was a great thing to support the business.
00:58:38I like it instinctively.
00:58:42In 2017, the rotary team officially launched the development of a generator for electric cars.
00:58:57However, there was a big obstacle.
00:59:02We had to solve the problem of fuel efficiency and exhaust gas, which had been a weak point for many years.
00:59:12Hiroyuki Hidaka was entrusted with the task.
00:59:17He asked for cooperation from a certain department in the company.
00:59:26The development team of the normal engine, which had not been in contact with each other so far.
00:59:33They had excellent fuel efficiency improvement technology.
00:59:38I worked on how to solve the problem of fuel efficiency and exhaust gas.
00:59:49A technician asked for cooperation.
00:59:56Hasegawa Hirokazu, a specialist in exhaust gas treatment.
01:00:01He used to have doubts about Akaji's rotary development.
01:00:08I was worried about how long I would be able to continue.
01:00:14But I worked hard to develop a difficult technology.
01:00:19I wanted to do it together.
01:00:23After six years of trial and error, the fuel efficiency was improved by 25%.
01:00:31Exhaust gas was also successfully cleaned.
01:00:37In November 2023, the electric car equipped with a rotary generator was sent to the world.
01:00:50I was honestly happy.
01:00:53I was very happy about how I could make a rotary.
01:00:58I wanted to see the next one.
01:01:03I wanted to see the next one.
01:01:08If I want to leave a rotary engine in the future, I can't stop.
01:01:15Hidaka became the leader of the development team.
01:01:24He developed a new rotary engine that can run on biofuel and hydrogen.
01:01:33It can run on any fuel.
01:01:38It is an advantage in the exhaust gas society.
01:01:49However, the employees did not become one.
01:01:54There are still questions in the company.
01:01:59The wind to the rotary is strong.
01:02:06Still, I want to pass on the Matsuda style.
01:02:25This is the concept car.
01:02:29It left the possibility of installing a rotary engine in a sports car.
01:02:39I want to do everything.
01:02:43No matter how much I fall off the cliff, I still want to do it.
01:02:50I really don't have a reason for that.
01:02:54There must be a role for the rotary engine to play in the world.
01:03:05The manager thinks so.
01:03:16I think it's good to have a variety of opinions.
01:03:19I think it's good for the company to move forward while fighting various opinions.
01:03:26I am in a position where I have to do both Roman and Solomon.
01:03:33I am aware of that.
01:03:36I want to make something that I can be excited about.
01:03:44I think that's the starting point.
01:03:48Roman and Solomon are in harmony.
01:03:51I know that Matsuda is trying to take a very difficult path.
01:03:56I'm excited because I'm Roman.
01:04:00It's fun to keep chasing Roman.
01:04:05It's a kind of leisure.
01:04:09I think it will end.
01:04:13It's really important.
01:04:15Roman, let's chase our dreams together.
01:04:18It's very difficult to decide where to be in harmony.
01:04:23I want to have a dream. I want to play a variety of baseball.
01:04:26I always want to play more fun baseball.
01:04:29If I don't win as a result, there will be various players' families.
01:04:34I think it's a lot of things.
01:04:36Mr. Kuriyama.
01:04:37Mr. Kuriyama.
01:04:39It's a bit of a romance.
01:04:43Everyone was against it.
01:04:46It's not a scam.
01:04:49No, it's not a scam.
01:04:51I believed that I could do both.
01:04:55I didn't doubt it once.
01:04:57It's a romance.
01:04:59If it's possible, the fans will be happy.
01:05:03I believe that it will be for the players.
01:05:07I thought about it.
01:05:11I thought about the meaning of the decision while being opposed by the president.
01:05:19I like this atmosphere.
01:05:22I think so.
01:05:33Akira went to the members.
01:05:37Don't tell me to buy it.
01:05:40I want you to buy it.
01:05:49In 1957, he went to the United States.
01:05:54He developed the market with a strong business.
01:06:02He has gone to more than 100 countries in the world.
01:06:07He has a population of 1.4 billion.
01:06:09He is challenging the world's largest market, India.
01:06:19He was entrusted by Mr. Kei Tajima of the Overseas Business Department.
01:06:24In April, if we switch some customers...
01:06:29Mr. Tajima went to Kenya, Africa, a land without soy sauce.
01:06:35He has opened the market.
01:06:40His business is as strong as his predecessors.
01:06:48Mr. Tajima has a saying.
01:06:51You should hit the target with a commitment.
01:06:56That's true.
01:06:58You often say that.
01:07:00That's true.
01:07:02If you don't give up, you can control it yourself.
01:07:06I think he is a bad person who doesn't give up.
01:07:11However, even Mr. Tajima, who doesn't give up, has a high wall to conquer India.
01:07:18Before the food culture of using spices,
01:07:23there was no room for soy sauce, so the company withdrew once.
01:07:31In 2019, Mr. Tajima visited each house in the area.
01:07:42As a result of the investigation, he learned that a certain dish was becoming popular.
01:07:47Indian Chinese.
01:07:51If it is Chinese, it should go well with Japanese soy sauce.
01:07:59Mr. Tajima immediately went to sell soy sauce with the local staff.
01:08:09However, the owner of the store didn't meet him.
01:08:14Even if he gave him a sample, he didn't take it seriously.
01:08:26If he uses it, the charm of soy sauce should be transmitted.
01:08:31Mr. Tajima continues his strong business.
01:08:35One day, Mr. Tajima saw a customer putting a lot of chili sauce on gyoza.
01:08:43He got an idea.
01:08:48Why don't you try putting a lot of chili and garlic in soy sauce?
01:08:56If you take it to a local restaurant, it will be very popular.
01:09:01When he took it to a local restaurant, the owner tasted it.
01:09:09He said it was good.
01:09:11He said, this goes well with Chinese food.
01:09:15This is how the contract was established.
01:09:20It's been four years since he visited.
01:09:23He opened the door to India with his persistence.
01:09:27I believe in the possibility of soy sauce.
01:09:32There should be a way.
01:09:34As long as I can't throw a white towel, I'll keep doing it until I succeed.
01:09:41It's fun.
01:09:57Is this really food?
01:10:02The company's fortune was on this ramen.
01:10:10Cup noodles were born in 1971.
01:10:15It is now popular all over the world.
01:10:19Mr. Tajima continues to challenge himself by saying,
01:10:23the new Japanese food he developed is beyond cup noodles.
01:10:30Let me taste what he developed.
01:10:36Can I have a bite of bitterness, bitterness, and smell?
01:10:41I'm sorry.
01:10:43I'm sorry.
01:10:45That's not true.
01:10:46I'm aiming for a perfect balance of deliciousness and nutrition.
01:10:56This is the first cup noodle with more than 30 types of nutrients.
01:11:05He has been working on it for five years,
01:11:09with a boost in his health.
01:11:12Mr. Ogawa, the leader, decided to take on the challenge.
01:11:21It was a grand dream.
01:11:24I was determined to do my best.
01:11:29But when you mix all the nutrients, bitterness and bitterness come out.
01:11:35After more than a year of trial and error,
01:11:38he was able to develop a product like cup noodles and pasta.
01:11:45On this day, Mr. Ogawa was a little nervous.
01:11:52The president will taste the new product.
01:11:57Mr. Ogawa, the president,
01:11:59will taste the new product.
01:12:04Mr. Ogawa, the president,
01:12:06will taste the new product.
01:12:09It's a type of soup without soup.
01:12:17How will the president react?
01:12:26How is it?
01:12:27Okay, let's go.
01:12:37He wants to surpass the cup noodles.
01:12:40Mr. Ogawa's spirit of entrepreneurship supports his challenge.
01:12:47I think it's the words of entrepreneurs and monks who challenge without fear of failure.
01:12:55I'll give it a try.
01:13:06The one who gives up before trying is the most boring person.
01:13:15In 1957,
01:13:17Ms. Eizaburo Nishibori, an explorer, led the Antarctic Region Observation Team.
01:13:26She got a gun and prepared the food.
01:13:30She killed the members.
01:13:35Then, in 1968,
01:13:39Hello, everyone.
01:13:41I'm a member of the 66th Antarctic Region Observation Team.
01:13:44My name is Naomi Harada.
01:13:47Ms. Harada is in charge of 114 members.
01:13:51She is the first female team leader in history.
01:13:57If a kidnapping of this leopard happens,
01:14:01the sea level in the world will rise by about 4 meters.
01:14:06She observes how warm seawater flows into the ocean.
01:14:11She is trying to help with global warming.
01:14:19Her motto is to have fun anyway.
01:14:25I think it's important for adults to have fun at the site.
01:14:29I think it's important for adults to have fun at the site.
01:14:32I want to show that adults are having fun at the site.
01:14:36I want to show that adults are having fun at the site.
01:14:39I think having fun at work is the most important thing.
01:14:43I want young people to see that.
01:14:50Ms. Harada.
01:14:52This is her third visit to Antarctica.
01:14:56Ms. Harada was a graduate student.
01:14:58Ms. Harada heard that she was looking for a member of the Antarctic team.
01:15:02She raised her hand out of curiosity.
01:15:06I was surrounded by penguins.
01:15:09I was wondering if I could take a picture with them.
01:15:13This brings back memories.
01:15:16It's a return ship.
01:15:19At the time, there was only one female team member.
01:15:23Her main job was to support her seniors.
01:15:28This is her first visit to Antarctica.
01:15:34This is her first visit to Antarctica.
01:15:39I was more moved by the fact that there was no sound.
01:15:43I was more moved by the fact that there was no sound.
01:15:47On sunny days, the wind would stop.
01:15:50It was a world of silence.
01:15:52It was a world of silence.
01:15:57Her second visit to Antarctica was as a vice-captain.
01:16:04Living together in a base where stress can easily accumulate.
01:16:09Ms. Harada carried her feet to where the team would gather.
01:16:13She talked about her failures and worked to create an atmosphere.
01:16:16She talked about her failures and worked to create an atmosphere.
01:16:19We would celebrate and laugh together.
01:16:22Laughing is a great way to relax.
01:16:28On the day she left the base,
01:16:31what she saw through the window of a passing helicopter
01:16:38was a one-character heart mark made by her teammates.
01:16:46I felt like I received a love letter from the headquarters.
01:16:50I was very happy, but at the same time, I was also very sad.
01:16:54I was very happy, but at the same time, I was also very sad.
01:16:57One, two, oh!
01:17:00This time, as a captain,
01:17:05the female team climbed to the bottom of the past 25 people.
01:17:11As a leader, her motto was
01:17:17In my case, I don't feel like I'm the only one.
01:17:22I want to play the role of Ms. Bantou.
01:17:27I hope I can contribute to various areas and support them.
01:17:37You brought up various themes today.
01:17:40Ms. Aha, what did you think of the themes you brought up today?
01:17:44After the war, Japan fell to the bottom.
01:17:49After that, Japan tried to catch up with other countries and became an economic powerhouse.
01:17:53After that, Japan collapsed in a bubble.
01:17:56Young people who have only experienced that Japan is not doing well
01:18:01are now in society.
01:18:03What is fun about being in society?
01:18:06What is fun about being in society?
01:18:08I thought it would be better to find something fun to do when I was in society.
01:18:14I remembered my old dream.
01:18:17Even if I stay up all night, I'll find something that won't be a burden at work.
01:18:22I felt the wind that my spirit was getting stronger.
01:18:27I'm an otaku.
01:18:30I can't beat an otaku who believes and enjoys.
01:18:36I can't beat an otaku who believes and enjoys.
01:18:40I can't beat an otaku who believes and enjoys.
01:18:47I can make something good.
01:18:52When I was studying Project X,
01:18:55I always thought it was impossible.
01:18:58Only those who think it's impossible can succeed.
01:19:02But that was something we were taught, so we thought we had to go for it.
01:19:09So Otani-sensei's second dragon was created thanks to Project X?
01:19:13Well, that's a good point.
01:19:15We learned that from him.
01:19:18Aibo
01:19:26Aibo was revived by Sony to restore the spirit of the company.
01:19:36Junior
01:19:40Aibo is active in the hospital's pediatric ward.
01:19:51Because of the risk of infection, she can't touch the animals.
01:19:57The children.
01:20:05She can bark like a puppy.
01:20:07She's like a healer.
01:20:12When she's lonely, it's fun to be with her.
01:20:20I feel that having the opportunity to interact with Aibo in her hospital life
01:20:24gives her time to smile, and I think that's a plus.
01:20:32Seiden, a repair shop that aims to be completed next year.
01:20:40The traditional technique of the Ryukyu Kingdom, which the predecessors have forged.
01:20:47The baton is now being passed on to young craftsmen.
01:20:57At first, I was very anxious, but I was happy to be able to leave it to them.
01:21:03On the other hand, there is pressure and responsibility.
01:21:07But that time is also the time when I can grow the most.
01:21:19Now I have a lot of opportunities.
01:21:22When I think that this was built in a time when there was nothing,
01:21:28I can't help but cry.
01:21:34I have to connect the work they've done with repair and restoration.
01:21:42The challengers of peace struggle to open up an unseen era.
01:21:57The story after that continues.
01:22:12The story of the Ryukyu Kingdom continues.
01:22:43New Project X will be broadcast from April at 8 p.m.
