"Hodo Station" has revamped its concept and design for the first time in five years.
The new concept is:
【Looking at the world as it is now.】
And thus, the new theme song, "Acta," was born.
Composer Yuta Bandoh took on the challenge of translating the world's "speed" and "amount of information" into sound.
With its irregular time signatures and dizzying key changes, the performance was so challenging that even BIGYUKI, who is active on the world stage, described it as "challenging" and "nerve-wracking."
The recording featured the contributions of up-and-coming musicians, including the talented New York-based drummer Jharis Yokley, Grammy Award-nominated vocalist Michael Mayo, saxophonist Kei Matsumaru, and trumpeter Yusuke Sase.
The video was created by filmmaker Atsushi Makino.
The striking opening sequence, featuring shadows appearing on a white cloth, is actually not created using CGI.
Ms. Makino meticulously pressed over 140 three-dimensional objects onto the cloth for the final shot. The filming process lasted over 13 hours.
How did these two artists express the ever-changing "present" through sound and visuals?
We followed the behind-the-scenes story of the creation of the new opening sequence for "Hodo Station."

今回もメイキングがYouTubeでも公開されて嬉しい。
前作に引き続き、これは音大生や美大生に向けて、参考になる記録ではないか。
今や、ここまで予算と手間暇を掛けてくれる番組は、報道ステーションだけよ。それも報道番組で。
オープニングという短い時間なんて、多くの人にとってどうでもよく、わざわざ金を掛けるべきでないという感想を見かけたけど、人生つまらなそうな感想にしか思えなかった。
牧野さんの「短いオープニングで何かメッセージを伝えるのは烏滸がましい」「この表現を見たら報ステだと思わせる」というのは感銘を受けるね。まさに。
短いからこそ、毎日見るものだからこそ、見れば見るほど、聴けば聴くほど、込められた意味が滲み出てくる芸術表現は、本物のクリエイターにしか出せないし、これほど報道番組に相応しいものはない。
報ステのオープニングをきっかけに、みんなの日常の裏で活躍するクリエイター・アーティストたちに関心を持つ人が増えることを願ってやまない。
それはそうと、報ステOPはこれで6代目なわけだけど、歴代オープニングだけの動画を公式さんかは出してほしい。じっくり何度も見返したいよ。
