00:00Good for the Planet is brought to you by NITTELE, a program that brings together viewers from all over the world to think about things that are good for the planet and the future.
00:14The long-term experiment project, Kagaku no Sato, aims to revive the ruined Satoyama that began in 2014 at Tokoro's Megaten.
00:25With the help of many experts and local people, the land was renovated and a field was built.
00:33Over the course of 10 years, the land has been transformed into a green and fertile land.
00:38In October, Mr. Tokoro visits the village.
00:42Every year, an autumn harvest festival is held.
00:47Mr. Kengo Kuma, an architect who designed the Omoya, also visited and everyone got excited.
00:55It's so sweet.
00:57This is amazing.
00:59And in November, a sweet potato harvest festival was held.
01:07He also participated in the autumn festival near Kagaku no Sato.
01:12He met with the locals.
01:18Today, he will introduce you to the autumn in Kagaku no Sato.
01:22This is amazing.
01:24Mr. Tokoro's Megaten Special Edition.
01:27The unopened autumn harvest festival in Kagaku no Sato and the sweet potato harvest festival.
01:34First of all,
01:36there are a lot of unreleased videos that couldn't be introduced at the harvest festival.
01:43At the harvest festival the other day,
01:46I talked about the insect breathing method.
01:49Oh!
01:51Tokyo Bug Voice, an insect photographer, and Mr. Saito introduced us to
01:59the breathing method of water insects that live in the water.
02:05There are a lot of water insects in Sato, including species that have been reported to be extinct in recent years.
02:13As you all know, humans breathe with lungs,
02:16and fish breathe with gills.
02:20Isn't it strange how the insects that live in the water breathe?
02:28In fact, there are a lot of breathing methods for water insects.
02:33At the harvest festival, I introduced you to the drumbeat, which is used to breathe like a ninja,
02:40and the pine caterpillar, which breathes in the air on its back.
02:47In addition, there are insects that breathe in a strange way that may be applied to human medical care.
02:54Wow!
02:56Now, I will introduce you to the breathing method of water insects, which is not yet released.
03:02As you all know, this is a big dragonfly, called Yago.
03:07This is also interesting.
03:10The largest dragonfly in Japan, Oniyanma.
03:14How does this dragonfly breathe in the water when it is in captivity?
03:21It sucks water from its butt and breathes with its intestines.
03:25What?
03:27It sucks water from its butt and absorbs oxygen from its intestines.
03:34There is a special organ called Kikanera in the rectum of Yago.
03:40Oxygen dissolved in water is absorbed into the body from this Kikanera when it passes through the intestines.
03:49And the carbon dioxide in the body is also exhaled into the water through the intestines from this Kikanera.
03:59That's great.
04:01I can show you how it looks live.
04:06This is the tip of its butt.
04:09Wow!
04:11It's true!
04:13It just exhaled.
04:16It sucks water from its butt and breathes with its intestines.
04:20Wow!
04:23It sucks water from its butt and absorbs oxygen from its intestines.
04:29That's great.
04:32Dragonflies are amazing.
04:33When it is in captivity, it sucks water from its butt and breathes with its intestines when it is in captivity.
04:42I guess it doesn't have any memories when it breathes with its intestines.
04:47This year, Ignobel show showed that a pig's intestine breathes with its intestines.
04:52I heard that even mammals can do that.
04:55Wow!
04:58Ignobel show is a research that makes people laugh and think.
05:05In September this year, Professor Takebe Takanori's team at Tokyo University of Science and Technology presented the Serilac show.
05:14It proved that a pig, a mammal, can breathe with its intestines.
05:20Professor Takebe also applied this to humans.
05:25It became a new treatment for patients who find it difficult to use artificial respirators.
05:31In 2028, he aims to make it practical as a medical device.
05:38Insects have been doing that for a long time.
05:42That's great.
05:43That's great.
05:45And there is one more thing that hasn't been released yet.
05:50Professor Ono, a bee expert, made royal jelly for Mr. Tokoro and Mr. Kuma at the harvest festival.
06:02Wow, it's great.
06:04It's like a new product.
06:06It's my favorite taste.
06:08Your favorite taste?
06:10Did you eat all of them?
06:11Yes, I ate all of them.
06:13That's great.
06:15Mr. Kuma, you ate all of them.
06:19What is the purpose of this royal jelly?
06:23We will introduce the amazing reason why we couldn't broadcast it.
06:28Royal jelly is rich in nutrients and is sold as a healthy food.
06:35The raw material is pollen.
06:37When a worker eats pollen, it is digested in the body.
06:42Nutrients are absorbed and new proteins and fatty acids are created in the head's saliva.
06:50Royal jelly is a mixture of them.
06:54Now, let's taste the raw material of royal jelly, pollen.
07:04It's powdery.
07:06Royal jelly is made from this raw material.
07:10It's like eating simple soybean flour.
07:13It's like soybean flour.
07:16Royal jelly determines whether a bee larva becomes a worker bee or a queen bee.
07:24Female larvae are born in the same way.
07:29When they grow up, they become a queen or a worker bee.
07:34Royal jelly is given to female larvae.
07:39They become a queen bee.
07:41Worker bees and queen bees are genetically born from the same female egg.
07:48Larvae become a worker bee because they are given a small amount of pollen and honey.
07:56Only royal jelly is given to larvae that become a queen bee until they become a worker bee.
08:05Queen bees keep giving royal jelly to worker bees.
08:13They produce more than 1,000 pollens a day.
08:20It's a great mechanism.
08:23What happens if a queen bee dies?
08:26A young queen bee is raised in a small room of a worker bee.
08:32The queen bee is about three days old.
08:36Royal jelly is given to the young queen bee.
08:39The queen bee becomes a queen bee.
08:41The queen bee becomes a queen bee.
08:43The queen bee becomes a queen bee.
08:46What happens to the other queen bee?
08:48The first queen bee destroys the other queen bee.
08:51It destroys the other queen bee.
08:52It's amazing.
08:54It's like watching an alien movie.
08:57I learned a lot.
09:00This is the end of the unreleased video of the harvest festival.
09:05After this, we will dig sweet potatoes in the fall.
09:14June this year.
09:16This is used to plant sweet potatoes.
09:19Do you plant sweet potatoes today?
09:22We will plant two varieties of sweet potatoes that are perfect for autumn harvest.
09:29Beniharuka has a sticky texture.
09:34It is a variety that is as sweet as a sweet.
09:38Kintoki has a fluffy texture like chestnuts.
09:43This is also a variety with a strong sweetness.
09:48This is a variety with a strong sweetness.
09:51This is a variety with a strong sweetness.
09:54This is how Abe plants sweet potatoes.
09:57There is a reason why Abe plants sweet potatoes diagonally.
10:02If you plant sweet potatoes diagonally,
10:05the roots will grow longer in the soil,
10:08so you can get a lot of long sweet potatoes.
10:12On the other hand, if you plant sweet potatoes vertically,
10:14the roots will grow short vertically,
10:17so it will be a big round sweet potato and the number will be small.
10:23This time, we will plant it diagonally so that we can harvest a lot of sweet potatoes.
10:30In addition, if there is too much water in the sweet potato, it will wither,
10:35so we made a path where water flows so that it is easy to drain.
10:45After several waterings, in November...
10:49There are quite a lot.
10:51This is one sweet potato.
10:53Isn't that a lot?
10:55That's a lot.
10:57The sweet potatoes have grown well with good drainage.
11:02It's growing very well.
11:06This is it.
11:08This is it.
11:10It's long.
11:12The vine is about 2 meters long.
11:15It's amazing.
11:24With the cooperation of the local people,
11:27they first harvest the vine that grew on the ground.
11:35Finally, it's time to dig sweet potatoes.
11:38It's amazing.
11:42It's big.
11:46It's amazing.
11:48Let's go.
11:54It's amazing.
12:01It's amazing.
12:06It's big.
12:08It's amazing.
12:10It's a great success.
12:19After harvesting a lot of sweet potatoes...
12:23Let's grill sweet potatoes for what we worked today.
12:26It's the best.
12:28I did my best.
12:30Originally, after harvesting sweet potatoes,
12:33it will be sweeter after about a month,
12:36but since it's a big deal, let's taste it fresh.
12:40They will compare the taste of Beniharuka and Kintoki with grilled sweet potatoes.
12:46It takes about an hour to wait.
12:49Let's taste from Kintoki, which is characterized by a warm feeling.
12:53One, two, three.
12:58Really?
13:01It's yellow.
13:02It's amazing.
13:05How is it?
13:07It's delicious.
13:09It's really warm and sweet.
13:13It's like chestnut.
13:15It's like chestnut.
13:17Be careful.
13:21It's warm.
13:22It's warm and delicious.
13:25Next, Beniharuka, which is characterized by a warm feeling and strong sweetness.
13:31I'll grill it.
13:36It's amazing.
13:37It's different from the previous one, isn't it?
13:39No, it's different.
13:40Obviously, this one is glossy.
13:42It's like a vertical streak.
13:45It's like a sticky one.
13:46It seems to have moisture.
13:47It seems to have moisture.
13:48Let's eat.
13:53It's rich.
13:55It's rich, isn't it?
13:57It's not just the sweetness of sweet potatoes.
14:00Can I say it's buttery sweetness?
14:02The sweet potatoes of this year have been harvested and tasted successfully.
14:09In fact, there is a reason why they dig sweet potatoes on this day.
14:15Three people came on that night.
14:19Three, two, one.
14:27It's beautiful.
14:28It's beautiful.
14:30What is this place?
14:35Three people came on that night.
14:40Three, two, one.
14:43It's amazing.
14:46It's amazing.
14:48It's beautiful.
14:50An old town and a train station are designated as a national cultural property near Kagakunosato.
14:59The team of Kagakunosato participated in the local festival held there.
15:08It's amazing.
15:09It's amazing to see a person's shadow in the middle of the night.
15:12It's amazing.
15:13It's amazing.
15:16We asked the director of Kagakunosato, Mr. Wada, about the festival.
15:21Why did this festival start?
15:24This is one of the local cultural properties.
15:29We wanted to hold a festival where people can come back to their hometown.
15:35Candles are the best match for the festival.
15:44How many candles are there?
15:47There are 800 candles today.
15:50800?
15:52Candles are lit one by one by the local elementary school students.
16:03It's amazing.
16:05It's colored.
16:07This is the best.
16:10It's yellow.
16:13It's amazing.
16:15I like the yellow, red bricks and orange light of Andon.
16:20It's a contrast of colors.
16:21It's perfect.
16:25They say hello to the locals at this wonderful festival.
16:30I'm on a program called Megaten of Tokoro.
16:33I'm on a program called Kagakunosato.
16:36Thank you very much.
16:39We gave them sweet potatoes that we harvested in the afternoon.
16:45Here you are.
16:50It's cute.
16:52It's amazing.
16:54We always watch it together.
16:59I'm glad.
17:03I'm glad.
17:05I'm glad.
17:08There are many people who watch Kagakunosato.
17:13It's a great program.
17:16It's all thanks to you.
17:20This man.
17:22He is Mr. Nemoto, who has been taking care of Kagakunosato since the beginning.
17:29He is the one who made the village with nothing, rice fields, and waterways from the beginning.
17:38Abe-chan is not here today.
17:41It's just a coincidence.
17:42It's just a coincidence.
17:45He is a man who makes Abe-kun.
17:48You are doing your best.
17:49I'm doing my best as a disciple.
17:50I'm Goto. Nice to meet you.
17:52I'm Kyo-Kyo.
17:54He says hello to Mr. Hiyama, the chairman.
17:56I heard that you harvested rice today.
17:59Yes, I did.
18:00I'm glad.
18:02I made rice cake soup.
18:06I also made Ayu and Udon.
18:11I also made Ayu and Oyakodon.
18:14That's great.
18:20Kagakunosato celebrated its 11th anniversary this year.
18:23It became a rich village because of the cooperation of the local people.
18:31You can come here if you have a car.
18:39It was a good experience to be able to express my gratitude directly to the local people.
18:46And the Omoya project is about to be completed.
18:51Go!
18:54We set up an array to watch over Omoya.
18:59September.
19:01It was designed by architect Kengo Guma.
19:04It is the Omoya village under construction.
19:09We set up four pillars to set up the camera to shoot the construction process every day.
19:21We dig the ground 120 cm by hand.
19:25The young team and the veteran team work separately.
19:47It's nice.
19:48It feels like the Omoya project is moving.
19:51It's nice, isn't it?
19:53They continue to dig for an hour.
20:03Just like that.
20:04Go!
20:06It smells great.
20:16130 cm.
20:17Jump!
20:18Yes!
20:21The first one is a success!
20:24What about the veteran team?
20:27This is not good.
20:28There may be stones.
20:29There may be stones.
20:30This is the worst.
20:31If there are stones, it's not good.
20:33Will it break?
20:34If it breaks...
20:35I brought it.
20:36I see.
20:37I'm sorry.
20:41Go!
20:43I'm going to carry this with me for 10 years.
20:48I've done this many times.
20:59It's exactly 120 cm.
21:00Yes!
21:01Congratulations.
21:02It's a success!
21:03The first one is a success!
21:04Yes!
21:11They set up pillars in four holes.
21:18It's amazing.
21:21Muscle! Muscle! Muscle!
21:25OK!
21:26OK!
21:35It's done.
21:36It's done.
21:39A total of four pillars were built in the village.
21:43After that, they installed a static camera and observed the village for 24 hours.
21:52The completion of the village is scheduled for next spring.
21:55Please look forward to it!
