MIPCOM Spotlight: NHK Enterprises

At MIPCOM, NHK Enterprises (NEP) is presenting “exclusive and one-of-a-kind stories that only NHK has access to,” says Akiko Nakano, senior manager of content sales.

Mighty Monkey (w.t.), produced by NHK and NEP in co-production with NDR, Doclights and ZDF Studios, follows Japanese macaques to see how they are able to thrive in their diverse habitat.

Ryuichi Sakamoto: Last Days provides viewers with access to the late Sakamoto’s diaries and more, showing how the maestro grappled with death and lived out his final days.

Chasing Perfection: Four Seasons with Japan’s Master Gardeners visits two world-renowned gardens in Japan that “offer breathtaking views for all who visit,” explains Nakano. The cameras follow dedicated gardening professionals as they battle the elements with skill and a disciplined eye for beauty.

Nakano adds, “NHK is set to celebrate 100 years of broadcasting in 2025.”
