Bosai Science Show
– Learn about the Mechanisms of Disasters and Cope with the Emergency –
The Bosai Science Show performs scientific experiments to describe disaster-related matters by using household items familiar to everyone, for example, a pendulum experiment to describe the differences of shakings; the use of soil put in a clear case to reproduce liquefaction; a method to generate power against power outage; and a provision of knowledge of natural energy. These activities are conducted through the participation of children and adults in the experiments so that they can understand the science while enjoying the experiments. The theme of my science show is “Enjoy Science & Learn about Disaster Prevention.”

Living Through March 11, 2011
– Words That Remember The Great East Japan Earthquake –
This documentary was filmed in Ishinomaki, a city with a population of about 170,000 in Miyagi Prefecture, located on the Pacific coast in northeast Japan. The mega earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 devastated the city, leaving 3,943 people dead or missing. Among them, 182 were elementary school children. With an earthquake and tsunami that no one had experienced, at that time, how did those at the school decide, handle, and act on the situation? What did the teachers do? How did the children react? What did the parents and family members of the children do? 37 people affiliated with Kadonowaki Elementary School in Ishinomaki were interviewed about the events of the day of March 11 from 2:46 to the following morning.
