Haruo Obata, 78, gained nationwide fame in summer 2018 when he found a missing 2-year-old boy during a search operation in southwestern Japan. It was the latest effort by this "super volunteer" to come to the aid of people in need. For nearly 30 years, Haruo has helped survivors in disaster-hit areas, including the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and the 2016 quakes in Kumamoto Prefecture. This program follows him as he camps out in a schoolyard in western Japan, while working to clean up homes badly damaged by heavy rains. He opens up about a personal mission shaped by a life of hardship, and reveals what drives him on.

Kichiya Tachibana is a calligrapher specializing in "yose moji," a type of lettering with roots dating back around 150 years. The 27-year-old writes and designs the background for shrine festival signs, good luck charms, and other special orders. As a young child, Tachibana was fond of the big, bold letters he would see at local festivals, and grew to love the art of lettering and traditional Japanese designs. After training for 6 years under his master, Unokichi, he has finally become a calligrapher in his own right, able to take on jobs. His first big project is to design a restaurant sign. But when he shows his draft to Unokichi, his master does not mince his words.
