Local TV Introduces New Village Residents
At Nishiokoppe Village Hall
there is a department responsible for the village network and IT equipment setup.

They also handle event filming
and produce a TV program broadcast only within the village.

Its name is NCN.

They call it that using the initials of Nishiokoppe Communication Network.

I hadn't had many chances to visit the production site, but
on April 1st I was able to attend the filming introducing new residents who started using municipal facilities this fiscal year.

In Nishiokoppe Village, every newcomer is asked to give about a one-minute self-introduction, and those videos are broadcast on the village TV program.

(I was filmed soon after I became a villager, too.)

When you open the door marked "Studio,"
you find a room fully equipped for filming.

New residents sit in front of the cameras and lights
and talk about why they came to Nishiokoppe Village and their hobbies.

That day several shoots overlapped,
and three cameras surrounded the staff operating a video camera—a shoot full of cameras.

NCN airs the same content for one week from Thursday through the following Wednesday.

Not only in villagers' homes,
but you can actually watch it in guest rooms at Hotel Rimu as well.

You can also request and view past footage, so the broadcast helps people look back on their children's growth.

When a large group gathers at someone's house,
a nostalgic viewing party can suddenly start with footage from those days, which is always fun.

Please continue to film around the village! #Village TV Broadcast #NCN
