I’m happy to share that I was recently featured on “Direct Talk”, a 15-minute interview documentary by NHK WORLD, the international service of NHK, Japan’s national public broadcaster.
In the episode, I talk about my journey so far, what I’m working on now, and you’ll also catch a glimpse of Heiseiin Temple in Iwate, where I’m expected to become the head priest in the future. If the shoot had been just a month later, the temple would have been in full bloom—but due to my tour schedule overseas, we filmed a bit earlier.
The episode first aired in May and will be available online until May 2028.

NHK国際放送「Direct Talk」に出演しました。
English is below.
15分のインタビュードキュメンタリー番組です。
私のこれまでの活動や、現在の活動、そして岩手県の平成院（私が将来住職となる予定のお寺です。）の様子も少しご覧いただけます。取材日があと1ヶ月後であれば見事なまでに咲く花々が見頃となる頃でしたが、私の海外ツアー日程の都合上、このようになりました。
こちら5月に放送開始されましたが、現在NHK WORLDのウェブサイトより2028年の5月までご覧いただけます。
