Omoi no Kakera  

想いのかけら, Fragments of Feelings

In Miyagi Prefecture, there resides a young girl named Hina Satou who enjoys figure skating at 13 years old. Despite losing her mother in the 2011 earthquake and currently living in temporary housing with her father, she remains optimistic about achieving her goals. Her memories of the disaster and her gentle mother continue to influence her as she pursues her dreams.

Production of Omoi no Kakera was led by NHK Sendai Broadcasting, which brought together six NHK broadcast stations in the Tohoku region in a project to support reconstruction efforts for the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. A two-minute pilot was first screened at the 2015 NHK Trophy ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating in Nagano and later on NHK networks across Japan.
