Hi Chris,

I'm guessing that this page (in Japanese) here is of the program?

http://www.nhk.or.jp/kagoshima/program/manten.htm
That's the one!

It looks like the aikido dojo will be headed by a woman (character name: Yuriko Hanayama). Interesting the series will be held in Osaka. I immediately wondered when I read your description of the TV show if the lead of this series would be played by the daughter of one prominent American instructor who was once married to a Japanese aikido instructor in Osaka.

(Not that I can get NHK here, but...)

No such luck . These NHK things can get pretty sappy, but they're surprisingly addictive - my wife and daughter are both hooked on Sakura (which is on right now).

Hawaii, and some parts of the US, get Japanese TV over cable (or satellite), but it depends where you are.

Best,

Chris
