First episode screening of "Yae no Sakura"

The first-episode-screening event of NHK's new Taiga drama "Yae no Sakura" was held on 11 December at NHK's HQ in Shibuya which was also attended by the lead actress Ayase Haruka who plays Yae, child actor Suzuki Rio who plays the younger version of Yae as well as Nishijima Hidetoshi who plays Yae's elder brother. The drama is scheduled to begin its run from 6 January onwards at 8pm on Sundays. In response to criticism that this year's Taiga "Taira no Kiyomori" had a very dark colour tone on screen, NHK said that "Yae no Sakura" will be shot with a new type of camera which features vivid colours on screen even in low light conditions.
