We have two segments this time! First we cover “It’s a Retro Revival”! On the back Souvenir Jacket, there are designed stitchings that stand out. This was made as a souvenir for soliders that came to Japan after the World War II. Later, after 1970’s it became a Japanese boys’ fashion item. And right now, it is popular amongst girls! We go undercover to find out why!
The second segment is “Domo Time Capsule in the US Part1”! The Kawaii master, Sebastian Masuda and NHK WORLD collaborated together. “TIME AFTER TIME CAPSULE” is a project that Sebastian Masuda is working on. It is a hands-on participatory art project where they exhibit the time capsule in different cities of the world, and asks the participants to write a message or put in what they think is a Kawaii item in 20 years. In this collaboration, Domo, a NHK character, shaped capsule appeared! We report how it was like at the event in Washington, D.C. in America. Also it had their attention on the National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade that Kawaii fans participated. Don’t miss the fun filled episode!
