My wife and I watched the NHK BS1 special "The Ukrainian Presidency: Military Invasion, 72 Hours of Tension, Complete Version" over three days.
The Ebata family's dinner is based on "NHK News 7.
I use the time before and after to watch another program with my wife.
In this case, we divided the program into 3 times.

It's like watching a movie with a lot of great content that I can't believe happened in real life."
I completely agree with my wife's opinions.
The events of the past 72 hours, told in a matter-of-fact manner, astonished me,
There is no excessive staging, no music, no talk of made-up "love" or "justice",
Still, by the end of the program, I couldn't hold back my tears either -- not to mention my wife's.

Wife: "If Japan is invaded militarily, will you fight too ?"
Ebata: "I think I will fight. In my case, the reason for fighting is not even one percent 'patriotism,' but only 100 percent 'I'm angry.
Wife: "That should be enough."
Ebata: "But in my case, I don't think I can march 2km when equipped with weapons, so I will ask to place me in cyber warfare."

I thought this program was produced in the U.S., the U.K., or France, but to my surprise, it was produced by Japan's NHK.
I was kind of happy. I feel like buying lunch for everyone involved in the production.
With NHK News, NHK language programs, NHK News (earthquake bulletins, disaster), and NHK Documents, I am at least aware that I am getting my money's worth for the NHK subscription fee.
As long as NHK continues to provide documentaries of such high quality, I will continue to pay NHK subscription fees as NHK wants
