HA NOI (VNS) — Twelve Japanese television series to be aired on national television (VTV) from October to April will present a panorama of Japanese life and culture.

VTV and the Broadcast Programme Export Association of Japan worked together to import the shows, which received high ratings in Japan.

One series called Black Kite won Best Drama Series at the Asian Television Awards in 2013. Based on the best-seller by award-winning writer Kiyoshi Shigematsu, the story follows a widowed father for 30 years as he clumsily but honestly raises his son.

The series will run on VTV1 channel at 1pm from October 5 to January 3 and VTV6 from January 5 to April 20.

Japan's national public broadcasting organisation, Tokyo Broadcasting System, Fuji Television Network, TV Asahi and Nippon TV produced the series. — VNS
