"Urban legends – these are already "public stories" that everyone knows. But there are "behind-the-scenes stories" that haven't yet come to light. They might contain hints to getting closer to the truth. Many of you may have thought, "I can't believe what Mr. Urban Legend Seki Akio has been telling us." But think back. Don't you think those words are surprisingly "not lies"?
Japan is currently at a major turning point. Won't you take a new step forward with those who are seriously thinking about the future?
There is truth that cannot be conveyed on television, and deep stories that cannot be expressed in other broadcasts. There are "true stories" that can only be delivered through this program.Now, let's change the world together!
