The program “The Dream’s Aftermath ~ Japanese Ruins Record ~” directed by Tatsuya Sano has been nominated for the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Award at the 40th ATP Award TV Grand Prix! The Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Award is given to programs with unique direction that can withstand overseas acclaim.
What is the ATP Award TV Grand Prix? Held once a year, the judges are creators of television programs and other video content, who select outstanding works from their unique perspectives. The awards were established in 1984 as the only awards in Japan in which the producers and directors of the production companies themselves serve as judges to select outstanding works, in order to enhance the social function of production companies, which are important players in Japan’s video content industry, and to respond to the passion and spirit of each and every production staff member working there. Works are accepted in three core genres: documentary, information/variety, and drama, and the top prize Grand Prix will be awarded.

There are many traces of dreams in this country. We will go and find out what we were looking at beyond those dreams. “A place where dreams end, and sometimes new dreams begin.” A story of “remains” that are ubiquitous in Japan. In this program, we visit six remains across Japan. 1. Former Nara Prison, 2. Kobe remains (Suma conveyor belt and Maya Tourist Hotel), 3. Yokohama Negishi Racecourse and other horse viewing stands, 4. Matsuo Mine in Hachimantai, Iwate, 5. Former resort site in Hokkaido, 6. Ikeshima Coal Mine in Nagasaki. Each theme is [Departure], [Growth], [Transition], [Scars], [Fleeting], and [Closing]. What will we find when we see the remains of our dreams? A huge spectacle unfolds before our eyes, using high-precision 4K footage and drone footage in abundance.
