NHK
My work has somehow got me involved with the NHK (Nippon Housou Kyoukai) which is Japan's national broadcasting organization.
Went along today for a meeting with others involved in a project we're working on and took some pics when nobody was looking ^^;
In one of the studios. From left to right:-
-Claytonian: Youtuber and blogger.
-Danny Choo: office cleaner and SAFS box folder.
-Kevin Cooney: Comedian, Actor and Vlogger.
-Anna Kunnecke: Actress, TV announcer and mother.
The NHK studios are located very near Tokyu Hands in Shibuya where I picked up some props for the next Tokyo Trooper series. Grabbing our passes at the entrance.
Some posters at the entrance. The girl in the middle of the poster is the lovely Mikako Tabe. Shes got a lovely girl-next-door aura about her. And who came up with the "the-girl-next-door" phrase anyway? I've never had gorgeous girl-next-door-types ever live next to me. Anybody lucky folks out there who do?
Mikako in a DS CM below.
This is the room where they make the traditional wigs.
Each wig is made especially for each actor and they spend a lot of time making it so that they look the same throughout the whole series.
And this is what the actors n actresses look like kitted up - how many can you recognize?
Some props in the corridor.
In one of the studios. Had to be dead silent for a bit while they finished up a cut.
Some more of the same studio.
At the back of the set.
And the very back of the set.
This corridor was huge and the first thing that came to my mind was "where is the Ark kept then?"
Some background stuff.
Special effects department.
The some of the studio lights were really odd - made my photos turn out completely green no matter how I set the camera - any experts on why and how to over come this? I did realize after that I could turn up the warmth and adjust the tint to bring the photo to normal-ish levels in Lightroom but would rather take a decent shot on shutter.
Not sure what these are.
The props department had everything. Some bits felt like you just walked into a time slip.
Hand in your wireless mikes before entering.
On the set for a show which talks about staying single or getting married. Which are you?
This is just one of the food places inside the NHK studios. The studio is huge - like a small city.
Mr X assigning us our next mission.
On the International floor - full of gaijin from all over the world. Can you name the guy in the bottom left corner?
International News broadcasting department.
We was briefly on TV today ^^;
This is where they charge up the ion canon to let the Rebel Transport ship through.
A closer look at those ion canon controls.
NHK have their own book store in the building. Didnt spot any ero mags though.
The canteen area where employees pre-pay for their food.
Canteen is packed.
We didn't eat here though.
The gorgeous Yuka-chan who started off her glamor days as a gravure idol.
NHK have their own pharmacy in the building too. They seem to have everything so people don't actually need to leave ^^;
Some vending machines for in-between filming snacks.
The lovely Mikako again.
This is a huge room where they build the sets.
Hope this chap wakes up before the wood gets a slicing.
On another set.
Another set for cooking and talk shows.
Many of the studios are a bit creepy - a huge echoey room with nobody about.
Makeup area.
NHK had many of these smoking chambers dotted around the studios.
Megumi Yasu-chan.
NHK do quite a few anime shows too. They done Planetes which I never got round to finishing.
And then its a lunch meeting to finalize everything. One of my Puchi Blurbs where left during the meeting with Dell Mini 9 + Leopard and E-Mobile data stick.
Lunch looked like pooey water but was actually green curry.
Mr X beside me giving Claytonian final instructions.
And then its back to the office. The gorgeous Rio-chan. Gorgeous eyes.
Walking down Center Gai towards the station.
Stopped off at Sakuraya before continuing on to the station.
The cute Hachiko bus. Not sure if its free to use.
At the South Exit at Shibuya.
Tom Hanks in Angels and Demons due out on 15th May in Japan. Loved the DaVinci Code but never got round to reading this Dan Brown book - as good as DaVinci Code?
Back in the office going through mails and stuff.
As for what we're up to at NHK - to be announced on the 30th of April next Thursday at Tokyo CGM Night.
And a teaser of the commercial/Image Video that I was in - will post photos of the shoot and the video soon.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.
If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

Saw Mikako Tabe on Doumoto Tsuyoshi's show. She probably would fit the term girl-next-door type. She's very shy but charming at the same time.

I have had the girl-next-door living next to me. ^^
Also your usage of the word "Canteen" was interesting. To me a canteen is a 1 quart container I'd have attached to my pistol belt that is filled with water ^^; But as wikipedia shows your usage is more common to UK English than American. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canteen
Love the differences English has between countries ^^
Interesting teaser...almost looks like some thriller or possibly some dark superhero XD

Here in Malaysia we also use the word "Canteen" . Also Americans pronounce the word Erb instead of Herb .
What do Americans call "Canteen" . Also I'm a bit confused between "football" and " football" .
Americans call it football but in the UK they call it Rugby. The UK call it football but the Americans call it soccer .
Otaku, US Army, Student (Political Science)
http://figure.tsuki-board.net/profile/Syaoran
Football is Football (The sport where you huddle, hike the ball, and go for a touchdown). Soccer is what we call the sport everyone else calls Football.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canteen_(bottle) Canteen is a bottle to us ^^
UK Rugby is called Rugby in the USA. Our football is different than Rugby.

In the US we call a canteen cafeteria as well, but it is an old term and no one uses it today. It was typically a term used for a military cafeteria.

But in reality american "football" should be called handegg http://pulverizando.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/futebol.jpg

That's great. XD I always hate how American English calls the game with the brown ball football, you don't use your feet at all, except for running.

Not only does our language not coincide with the rest of the world's, our measurements don't either.

Americans probably calls em "Cafeteria", although it is strange that they call it canteen here as well.

Fresh Diploma Grad... enlisted.. Cpl soon I hope...

In Army(Singapore) also have canteen mah, just that it's for the privileged...
The rest(poor or recruit) have to eat from the cookhouse... like me... XD
Student
http://www.projectharuhi.net
dont forget football....aussie rules XD
in my opinion its all relative to where you are...
here in australia we call football...football, but it aint soccer/football, and it definetely aint rugby. Thats cos we have our own 'aussie rules' mayhem version. dont ask me to explain it, cos whenever i watch, i get lost very quickly...
However:
In the UK, the national game of football is what others would call soccer (us included).
In the US, the national game of football is what others would call gridiron, a relative to the game of rugby, but not the same.
and here its more trend towards saying 'cafeteria' rather then 'canteen'. Canteen brings up the image of somewhere you have to eat with no other option...like in the army, or perhaps NHK cos its size

We use cafeteria.
http://www.marvinryan.com
on a side note, in Italy and the planet Tatooine they call it Cantina. ^^;
but more imporantly the wikipedia on cantina also explains how canteen ended up with the meaning of a flask container.

Did they stop using the term canteen for cafeteria in the Army?
Otaku, US Army, Student (Political Science)
http://figure.tsuki-board.net/profile/Syaoran
Yes, I've never heard of a cafeteria called a Canteen ever in the Army. Even my dad said back in the 1960s he never called or heard anyone call the chow hall a canteen. If it is used by anyone in the US it's a very small amount that do.

I can also report it's not used for a food place here in my part of Canada, just for the bottle.

Oh wow, the storage area for props sure is messy, heh they need to sort it all out. Maybe it is already and it just looks all over the place. All the sets are amazing, from looking at it not as a TV show, they don't look like what they do on television.
The place really is like their own city, with a book store, pharmacy and wow that lunch area is huge! The international floor, rows and rows of people working away. This place looks somewhat more organized than at the workshops they have and storage.
One question, how was the lunch there?
Hoho, Danny stars in a commercial, I wonder what you're pitching.

Tokyo Cooney is an insecure punk.
I used to be one of his Youtube subscribers. He put up a video of himself talking in all these foreign accents. Of course it kinda sounded a little bit racist but that didnt bother me. I left a lighthearted comment to that effect, something like "Lol, borderline racist". Soon after i was booted from his subscribers list and banned from commenting on all his videos. I was like WTF!? I never thought someone in his position would stoop so low as to remove even the slightest hint of anything that didn't feed his ego. Maybe thats why all his comments are positive. He deletes all the ones that actually might challenge him. The coward...

Pretty interesting to see the guts of a studio like that. I'd be pretty tempted to grab some props and run around playing in all of the empty sets.

Danny- the term "girl next door" was created by Hugh Hefner in the 1950's to describe the Playboy Playmates that looked so hot, but literally was a girl in someone's hometown. Back then everything was much simpler.

Man NHK is sure huge, and the sets are so detailed made ^^" Now I really miss the days working in the broadcast centre and tv station, it was a fun and eyes opened experience.

I've had the girl next door once before but she was directly across the street from me and every time I'd leave for school she would leave at the same time and the same goes for coming back from school most days. Pretty interesting I wonder what commercial your in though looking forward to it!

Angels and Demons is a fantastic book!! At least ten times better than the Da Vinci Code, in my humble opinion...
The NHK studio looks rather insane. Maybe someday I'll get to take a tour. Yeah. Right...

You went to the NHK studio and didnt see Domo-kun?!
Is he no longer popular over there or something? I went to the NHK museum on my last visit to tokyo, and aside from a few books in the gift shop, he was nowhere to be seen!!
Looks pretty impressive there though. Most japanese chat/ game show sets are usually really gaudy and bright compared to UK ones - seems strange seeing them with the lights off!

Every sunday ive ever spent in japan was in Yoyogi park, and the NHK studio park is right by it.

When i got back, i saw a friend's photo of the studio park tour, and Domo was there! Next time, i WILL go!

Hey Danny, it's all about your white balance. It looks like you're shooting at around 3200K which indeed does give shots a bluish/greenish tone. I normally shoot in RAW and W/B to auto to overcome this since i can always re-correct the shot in software.
In #25801, it looks like white flourescent lighting in that area but your camera seems to be shooting at 'Tungsten'. Are you using Auto W/B or maybe some other selection?
CEO MIrai Inc
http://www.dannychoo.com/profile/eng/
I tried all settings and they still turned out green. Was wondering if it was special lighting.
NEET part-time - Technical Support Officer - Network security engineer
http://burugureibi.blogspot.com/
Well, i guess studios are desigined for filming not photography
Maybe just use a manual W/B function if you've got the option to (were u using the LX3?) - Shoot 'white' object (paper), set W/B to that image, etc...
That would definitely solve the issue but it is a pain setting it up properly
3d Computer Engraver
http://www.tediumonline.com/
Yes , its the white balance . The lumix if you shot with that which I suspect isn't the best at white balance, in general digi cameras have a hard time with white balancel. The camera has to look at the white balance and calculate the correct colour cast all in the click of a button, unless you pre set it. You said you fixed it Lightroom which means it can be fixed in camera but for a quick point and shoot that takes fiddling time. I agree with cyberchaos shoot in RAW
you have more control in post and never have to worry about white balance in camera.
I hope this helps.

Photoshop perhaps? I know it won't look natural, but at least it won't be green. I just rely on Photoshop a lot, I guess ^^;

http://fmphoenixhawk.livejournal.com
Actually, the lights vary depending on what is being filmed. Some are tungsten, some are sodium (Gymnasium lights), some are just fluorescent. Now, it's been almost 12 years since my Optics class, but IIRC, the green has something to do with the clash of light waves and the CCD unit. The chip tries to clean out the noise, and winds up greening everything. At least, I think that's how it works.

AWB tends to green indoor stuff, which is why it's best to treat everything indoor as in the shade except if you have special lighting.
Here's a page on it http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/whitebalance.htm
I found the shade setting on my 450D works surprisingly well, although when shooting figures I always make sure the lighting is via color corrected tubes.
For special lighting use White Balance correction via your WB Shift chart/menu if you have one. You'll have to experiment though. I've never had a situation yet where I needed it.

danny: about the 'green' color problem on your picture,
if your camera has a custom WB(white balance) function which i think it should since its a pro-consumer.
set the white balance on something that you know its white(like the white board on the background) and take the pic, it should turn out better.

Yup! Currently have a female neighbor and currently spending lots of time with her.
As for the article, all i can say is that NHK seems to be a mini utopia for having those stuff inside it. Would sure love to have a chance in a life time to visit their grand place.

Thats a great set of pictures. Getting the idea to expand to live media on the air from the adventure there yet Danny? New show, talking figurines interviewing Dollfies about clothes styles and up and coming articles to equip. Thats a show done with small microphones for voice actors to carry on conversations. Would consist of 3 sets of duplicate items so camera can switch views as Figmas are motioned into the next scene for seamless video switching where it all looks live. Just one idea, all yours.

nice to see you got out safely ^^
I went to do a special NHK tour back 9months? ago i think it was june last year.
its really a maze lol, we had a guide and we weren't all on the right path some of the times
we were taken there by one of the International department newscasters, and cause we were a bunch of foreign students sent from UofTokyo, they thought it'll be good for us to see their stuff in many other languages. went into that newsroom and saw a live broadcast go on. Its great cause the newscaster didn't have proper pants on ^^
Ate at the shokudou, and saw some groups of elementary schoolkids being lead in^^, maybe for a shoot or something
and while intruding on the studio for last year's taiga drama Atsuhime, accidentally blocked the way for Ms Miyazaki Aoi from getting past ^^
very priveledged to be able to go there. Didn't have a tv while in tokyo so no fees for me =)

Tokyo Clooney is quite funny also, I subscribe to his V-blog. Danny you have so much going on, how do you find time to unwind?

If the camera white balance isn't enough you need a Fluorescent Filter Lens for you LX3. The Filter Lens will block out the green light. This site here, http://www.camerafilters.com/pages/fl.aspx, has some basic info and a few sample pictures on the three different types of FL filters FL-W (Warm/White light Fluorescent), FL-D (Daylight Type Fluorescent)and FL-B (Daylight film using Warm/White Light Fluorescent, probably N/A for digital cameras).
Anyhow, I bought a PL, FL, UV (lens protector) kit for my Panasonic DMC-FZ28 and the FL does indeed work when I take a close up picture of a object directly under a Fluosecent desk lamp.
Math Teacher/Tutor
Sorry for the double but the comma got caught in the link above and will not work properly. The correct link is http://www.camerafilters.com/pages/fl.aspx
Math Teacher/Tutor
Thought I'll also take some pictures myself using my own camera and filters to illustrate the point. The camera is a Panasonic DMC-FZ28, a cheaper version of Danny LX3 but with 18 optical zoom, considered one of the best premium P&S mega zoomer. Both Gundam shot were taken using Aperture Priority mode so I could better insure both shots were taken under same settings ( F set to 4.5, ISO 100, Camera was perched on a few books and shot taken using 2 sec timed mode to ensure no camera movement).
Anyhow, the lens itself http://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr53/gtsimmo/IMGA0001.jpg
Its was part of a cheap $20 USD kit I purchased off Amazon, not the best quality lens but it seems to work. Mainly purchased the kit for the UV filter to work as an all around lens filter
Without the filter, I placed the fluorescent lamp really close (1 foot away) to the Gundam Model to make the green really come out more. http://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr53/gtsimmo/Withoutfilter.jpg
Now with the filter on

Thanks for this - big difference! Will prob get one if I'm spending more time in the studio.
Math Teacher/Tutor
The lens is purple in color so if you use it when you shouldn't your pictures will come out purple hehe. Anyhow the filters are cheap anyhow, I'm sure you'll have an easy time finding one on Amazon Japan or on from a camera store while the clerk can provide some more expert advise on the subject.
I'm glad I was able to help ^.^

. Adding a filter also changes your exposure which can slow down your shutter speed. You lose the wonderful F2 of the LX3. I just bought the LX3 for the wife while I shoot with the Nikon D90 and the LX3 isn't the best at white balance, looks like the studio uses some different types of light temp and for me carrying around colour cast filters is not an option. I had a thought did you shoot with a flash on?? If so it wouldn't matter what white balance you set the camera will change it to Flash Temp . The way around that is colour filter on flash , more powerful flash or don't use flash. I looked back at some of your NHK shots and a few of them have a yellow/green cast showing different light temps. Danny shoot RAW more control of exposure and white balance. Great look in NHK , thanks for the insight.

I think the greenish cast from those lights is because the lights are Mercury Vapor or some sort of high intensity discharge lamps. They flicker really fast, unlike the constant intensity of an incandescent, so the white balance of the camera can't really figure out what is going on..
Animator
http://pandaxtor.blogspot.com
The lights could also be used when shooting green screen work, it casts the green light against a green screen and should remove any shadows. It makes it easier for keying out footage and composite after wards.

How could you not finish such an epic anime? Just look at that opening! epic! Definitely one of the top anime series due to it's really strong character driven story, solid visuals, and satisfying ending. Come on, how many anime series have a good satisfying ending that ties up most loose ends, AFTER an already outstanding story? Please tell me, as I'd want to see.

Hi Danny! There is many things interesting to me in this post:
- I never heard before Hinokio but as a scifi fan, I appreciate the trailer.
- The poster with the gorgeous Yuka-chan is about "shokuiku" (I know you know it :P). As a Japan-food lover, I was translating all about shokuiku and I want to adapt his policies to my region (Mexico and Latin America). If there is any person interested in this, visit (english) http://www.maff.go.jp/e/topics/pdf/shokuiku.pdf or my translation to spanish (still incomplete) http://www.bentomexico.com
- And about "Angels and Demons", I like it more than "The DaVinci Code" except for one thing (I didnt want to spoiler it now).
- And as an homage to your "Tokio Street Walks" I start a "Mexico City photo walks", please see it http://www.azteca7.com.mx

This was one of the most interesting posts for me yet - aiming to be in film/TV myself, so seeing all these sets and getting a look "behind-the-scenes" is right up my alley. So far, it looks like I'll be staying in Toronto, but I've been seriously considering heading back to Hong Kong once I'm done my degree. Tokyo isn't all that far from my sights either.
Girl next door...funny thing, that. I had a crush on this girl back in elementary school in Hong Kong. Imagine my surprise when she *showed up at my door* one day with her mother. Turns out she was just the next apartment building over, a rarity considering we went to a semi-prestigious Catholic school that collected students from all over.
She was going on vacation, so I was asked to take notes and collect assignments. The fact that I was the top academic student at the time probably helped, too. She returned the favour later when I missed a month of class for family issues.
Unfortunately, that was as far as it ever got with her. ^^; Too much of a wimp at the time to even become friends with her.

NHK makes me think of the same name light novel + comic + anime NHK he youkoso
I think Angel and Demon is better than Da Vinci Code...

I think the management in NHK wanted to make their facilities accessible to their employees and visitors & at the same time earn some business too. If you can access to the facilities nearby, you tend not to waste time traveling elsewhere to get stuffs you need.
"Angels and Demons" have not reach my shores yet. 15 May, I think. I will buy the novel and read it first before watching it. I have experience the same scenario with "The Da Vinci Code". The book is better that the film. A lot of good stuffs in the book are missing from the movie. What I feel is that the original contents are the best seller to which the movie tried to emulate to succeed.

DaVinci Code good movie, but it was very fast paced. I like the book. Angels & Demons was my first book from Dan Brown, the cover caught my eye and I really liked it so I brought it "hurhur". Its a good book, its Robert Langdon, a prequel to DaVinci if memory serves me right.
There a third installment in this series set within 12 hours with Langdon again. New book is called "The Lost Symbol", Can't wait, will get and read it.

^ goodness my sentences are terrible... you would think English was my second language! :)
I have to say this has been one of the most personally interesting posts on here! I'm fascinated with the whole self-contained world inside of NHK HQ. It's incredibly cool to see the prop rooms and the construction facilities! It'd be awesome to get lost in there....
My first job was at an amusement park, which is also a contained area with numerous in-house amenities. In the off hours I used to love wandering around the back areas, finding weird stuff like empty roller-coaster cars out in the woods and the dressing rooms for the walk-around cartoon characters. We also happened to call the employee lounge and dining area a "canteen", by the way.

So that's what it looks like in the NHK studio, not to mention its own cafeteria and pharmacy... nice.
Speaking of studios, only TV station I've visited is CTV Montreal back in the late 80s (around '89).

Do you manually white balance your camera before you take photos Danny ? or did you use presets (daylight, tungsten etc.) on the cam!? sometimes it works to just take a pic of something white like a sheet of paper, fill the whole frame with it in the current lighting and set that as white but maybe the lighting needs those special white balance charts for their studiocams.
