A documentary program that seeks out and introduces the next 'Trailblazers = innovators.'

The genres are not limited to music, art, fashion, and games, but also include people who contribute to new value creation through technology, people who breathe new life into traditional crafts, and people who strive to increase the number of tourists in rural areas. We will delve into their surprising strategies and core aspirations.

Moeko Kanzawa (≠ME) Comment

This is Moeko Kanzawa from ≠ME.

I have been appointed as the new navigator for 'Trailblazers.'

Through this program, I will be able to learn about the beliefs and backgrounds of innovators active both domestically and internationally for the first time, which I believe will broaden my perspective on various things and provide hints for life that will encourage me.

I will do my best to deliver the charm of 'Trailblazers,' who carve out diverse genres and create anew, while learning myself.

Please watch!
