On June 8th, there was an interview about “The Phone of the Wind” in the program called “Message to the reconstruction” of NHK Radio 1 broadcast Saturday Asaichiban. After the broadcast, the reaction of the viewers was good, and I received e-mails saying that they were impressed by hearing the broadcast, and I was informed that it will be rebroadcast on August 10. Immediately, I missed the last time and contacted the person who wanted to hear it and waited for August 10th.
On that day, broadcasting of giving baseball equipment was on radio. The people who were in contact called me, “I was waiting for the show, but what happened?” or “It was today, right?”. But I could only say “I’m inquiring now.”
Later, NHK contacted me that High School Baseball Championship was on broadcast and there was a possibility of a schedule change, but if I contacted it in advance, it would not cause any inconvenience to everyone. It seems that it was not working inside NHK. I apologize for the rebroadcast on August 24th, but my trust has been seriously damaged. I replied to NHK that I wouldn’t contact him anymore and that he should feel free to do it, including whether or not it will be rebroadcast.
Due to these circumstances, I am very sorry that I lied to everyone who came to “The Phone of the Wind” and “The Library of the Forest”. I apologize for the inconvenience.
