------------------------

The NHK program "Haato O Tsunago (Heart-to-Heart)" has taken up a variety of issues, including a recent series on LGBTs, over the course of its three year run. A special two-part program on Gender Identity Disorder* will be broadcast November 2nd and 3rd on Fuji TV from 8:00pm to 8:29pm.

Appearing in the program will be Fumino Sugiyama, a regular guest on “Haato O Tsunago” since it began addressing gender identity and LGBT issues. After filming the 5th installment of Haato O Tsunago’s series on Gender Identity Disorder* while studying abroad in England in 2005, the very popular Sugiyama traveled the world in a journey that included a stop in Thailand where he received chest reconstruction surgery before returning to Japan. This past summer he embarked on a new trip, this time meeting with other trans and trans-identified people across Japan.

In this special two-part program, Sugiyama talks about changes in his life post-surgery and experiences he had meeting other trans people throughout Japan. In part two, broadcast on November 3rd, “Haato O Tsunago” will also introduce the story of a trans-identified youth, currently in middle school, that Sugiyama met.

At the end of the program there will also be an interview with singer Yo Hitoto, whose latest music video release “Unto Shiawase (Tons of Happiness)” features LGBT guests from “Haato O Tsunago”. This is a special program you won’t want to miss!

*Note: "Gender Identity Disorder" is commonly used within Japan’s mainstream culture to refer to persons who do not identify with their born gender; it is more broadly recognized than the term “transgender” and thus often used to refer to trans people and issues.
