[NHK Culture] Special Lecture by the Production Team of NHK's 'Gorogoro Panda Diary' ~Backstage Talk~ Famous Scenes and Secret Stories Told by the Two Who Watched Tantan [Saturday, April 4, 13:30-]

We will hold a special lecture, 'NHK Gorogoro Panda Diary ~Backstage Talk~', on April 4, 2026, to uniquely look back on the journey of the giant panda Tantan at Kobe Oji Zoo.

This lecture was planned to commemorate the release of the complete Blu-ray BOX and DVD BOX for NHK's 'Gorogoro Panda Diary'. Two people will take the stage: Hiroshi Ebukuro, the program cameraman who continued to film Tantan for many years, and Daigo Sugiura, an NHK dedicated director who served as the production supervisor for the series. They will share valuable talk that we especially want to deliver to viewers who love the work, including behind-the-scenes of program production, memorable episodes that happened on site, and the secret stories behind the birth of famous scenes.

Tantan continued to bring comfort to fans nationwide through the program. While cherishing those memories, we will deliver a heartwarming time to retrace her steps once again.

This time, in addition to online attendance, we also offer classroom attendance (NHK Culture Center Kobe Classroom). Please check the details from the links above. Regardless of which attendance method you choose, you can view a missed broadcast stream for two weeks.
