[Machine Translation] It has been 20 years since the Showa Era gave way to the Heisei Era, and at the same time, the former NHK Special Programs were renamed NHK Specials. The 20th anniversary edition of this series, which has moved forward with the Heisei era, is now on sale, featuring the theme songs from the past. The first is "The Amazing Microcosm of the Human Body," which drew attention for its innovative visual depiction of the mysteries of life based on cutting-edge scientific findings, followed by "4 Billion Years of Life: A Journey Far Away," which depicts the dynamic way of life that has repeatedly evolved and become extinct over a mind-boggling period of 4 billion years, and "The Crisis of Extinction Caused by Earth's Cataclysmic Changes," which depicts how life has changed over the last 4 billion years and how it has become extinct. The film also features the latest scientific and visual technology to depict the evolution of life into the human race, overcoming the crisis of extinction caused by the Earth's cataclysmic changes. The film includes 20 pieces of music by leading artists such as Joe Hisaishi, Michiru Oshima, Yoko Kanno, Kitaro, SENS, Hideki Togi, and others, which have touched the heartstrings of many people.
