While viewer ratings were flagging at other stations term without becoming obsolete, while replacing in Japan, NTV’s rose in the fiscal year ended programs that fell short of these criteria with new March 31, 2010. I believe we owe this result to our content immediately, rather than waiting for the approach toward revising timetables on an ongoing regularly scheduled timetable reorganization period. basis. We strove to ensure that programs meeting On May 14, 2010, the National Congress of Parents our expectations were successful over the long and Teachers Association of Japan published the results of a survey asking what television programs parents wanted their children to watch. NTV’s The Most Useful School in the World ranked number one, and Shimura Zoo came in fourth. This suggests that our efforts to improve the quality of our programs have been successful.

Spot Share % 24.See2 details Page30 Although spot advertising revenue in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, decreased 0.9% compared with the previous fiscal year, NTV was quicker than other stations to turn a profit as the market recovered in the second half. Our spot share grew by 1.1%, which expanded our overall share to 24.2%. This result reflects the high evaluation of NTV’s product power by advertisers and advertising agencies as an effective outlet for spot advertising media resulting from our ongoing promotion of timetable restructuring and acquisition of core target viewers between the ages of 13 and 49. We are targeting further growth through closer relationships with advertisers and advertising agencies, promotion of timetable restructuring and introduction of new initiatives. Kimio Maruyama Operating Officer, Director General, Sales NIPPON TELEVISION NETWORK 5 ANNUAL REPORT 2010 Film Business Surges Ahead Revenues have increased for the fourth straight year, contributing significantly to our non-broadcasting businesses. We achieved this growth by strengthening our planning and production power, reinforcing the connections between Group companies. Film Business Revenue Growth Rate % 16.0See details Page32 In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, 20th Century Boys –Chapter 3– was a hit, generating box office revenue of ¥4.4 billion. Other hits included GOKUSEN: THE MOVIE, and the Japan Academy Prize–winning animated feature Summer Wars. For the past few years, the film business has been investing in existing projects and foreign film production rights in an attempted shift toward in-house planning and production. Four straight years of revenue growth is an expression of the amalgamation of Group company characteristics and strengths. In addition, media commerce business sales increased 26.3%, while revenues from our event business grew 13.4%. These operations, along with the film business, contributed to the expansion of the Group’s non-broadcasting business.

  • THE UNIVERSITY of HULL New Lives in the Ancestral Homeland
    THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL New Lives in the Ancestral Homeland: Return migration from South America to mainland Japan and Okinawa being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Naoko Horikawa MSc January 2012 New Lives in the Ancestral Homeland: Return migration from South America to mainland Japan and Okinawa Naoko Horikawa MSc January 2012 Thesis Abstract This work presents a study of identity formation in migrants of Japanese and Okinawan descent who relocate from countries of South America to mainland Japan and to the island prefecture of Okinawa, initially to seek economic advantage. The migrants, called Nikkeijin, are predominantly progeny of earlier migrants from Japan to South America. In a cross-generational sense, they are return migrants. The ethnographic study, based on field research conducted in two sites on the mainland and in Okinawa, compares Nikkeijin experience and attitudes as they interact with native Japanese. Because of their Japanese background, Nikkeijin benefit from privileged visa status; nonetheless, in Japan they are treated as foreigners, and their identity diversifies. Nikkeijin are found to construct simultaneous social fields in both the country of departure and the new environment. This situation may be recognized through the concept of transnationalism. I argue that Nikkeijin self-identity can be multiple and flexible, and does not necessarily coincide with social identity. An increasing and officially promoted diasporic consciousness among migrants of Okinawan descent would seem to produce a different ethnic response to any on the mainland and a greater potential for integration. My thesis should contribute to the understanding of identity in Nikkeijin return migration.

  • Living the Broadcasting History of Post-War Okinawa Chosei
    Oral History of Broadcasting Start from Scratch: Living the Broadcasting History of Post-War Okinawa Chosei Kabira, Former President of Okinawa Hoso Kyokai (OHK) [Okinawa Public Broadcasting System] December 2018 Isao Yoshida Kyoko Hirotani NHK Broadcasting Culture Research Institute Media History Research 1 Abstract The series “Oral History of Broadcasting” has been conducting interviews with an aim to trace the history of broadcasting from the testimonies of people involved in broadcasting by adopting the research methodology of oral history. This paper features the broadcasting history of post-war Okinawa. After WWII, Okinawa came under the direct rule of the U.S. military forces and was totally detached from the mainland Japan in terms of politics, economy, and legal system, which was extended to social and cultural aspects. Broadcasting history was no exception: how it began and how it developed was entirely different from that in the mainland Japan. In the ruins where broadcast function had been completely lost, a radio broadcast service was launched from scratch by the U.S. military and gradually evolved into an established entity while being tossed up and down by the Japanese and U.S. governments as well as social landscapes. Here is a person who has been deeply involved in the process, experiencing each critical stage: Chosei Kabira, former President of Okinawa Hoso Kyokai (OHK) [Okinawa Public Broadcasting System]. Mr. Kabira is a rare figure who has been involved in broadcasting all the way from the launch of broadcasting in the post-war period to the reversion of Okinawa to Japan. This paper focuses on how Chosei Kabira thought and acted at each phase as an individual broadcaster and what prompted him to do so, as an attempt to vividly elucidate the history of broadcasting in Okinawa.

What are the best uses for limited natural resources? How can the media help leave behind a beautiful world for future generations? Since the creation of the NTV Eco Committee in March 2003, we have engaged in environmental protection initiatives through NTV programs, events, PR, publicity and IR activities, sales and internal activities. In August 2005, we formulated the NTV environmental management system (EMS), and in November 2005, the Shiodome NTV Tower (Minato-ku, Tokyo) was awarded ISO 14001:2004 certification—the international standard for such systems. This achievement marked the first time that a key commercial broadcaster in Tokyo received certification on a companywide basis. Human society will continue to grow and develop. To protect the environment that sustains our lives, NTV is committed to communicating the importance of environmental conservation through its programs and events.

Dr. Christie’s quiet leadership, analytical mind, and thoughtful questions challenged me in the most supportive way. I would have gladly served with him in my military life, but I’m thankful to have his guidance now. Dr. Pribanic-Smith’s historical methods class surprised and inspired me, and I will never forget the thrill I had when I realized I could take this direction with my thesis. The compassion and concern she emanates is truly uplifting. My committee chair, Dr. Clark, has been supportive, instructive, and empowering from the very first day of class and every day since. He pushes me just a little further and trusts me to do more. I hope I always live up to the belief he has in my abilities, and share that with my students. I’m thankful for the support of the former Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Dr. Beth Wright, and the Research Travel Award that enabled me to travel to Okinawa for the interviews and archives I needed to complete my research. Special thanks go to Setsuko, who welcomed me to Okinawa in a whirl of energy and passion, and Gordi Breyette, who was instrumental to me getting many of my interviews.
