Жапондық "Сезам Стрит": Тарихы мен жаңа өркенісі

Japanese edition of Sesame Street TV series

The American children's television series Sesame Street (セサミストリート) has a long history in Japan, airing for three decades as a dubbed program, and recently restarting as a local co production. There was also a manga published from 1990 to 1992 unrelated to this.

Sesame Street has been one of NHK's most successful children's programs and one of the first to be imported from overseas. Sesame Street first aired on November 8, 1971, but was taken off the network in the early 1980s. It resumed from 1988 until the end of March 2004, when production on a local adaptation was announced, which NHK refused to be involved in. While Sesame Street is primarily designed for preschool children, teenagers and adults watched the program as a guide to learning English, though much later on a dubbed version was available. NHK also co produced the 1988 PBS special, Big Bird in Japan. The original show aired on NHK Educational TV until April 2004. After 16 years, "Sesame Street: Elmo's Playdate" was aired on May 16, 2020.

In November 2003, the brand's master license was acquired by Asatsu DK Co., Ltd. and WE'VE Co., Ltd. Sesame Street Partners Japan was founded the following year. Along with the original partners, Japan Keizai Company, TV Tokyo Broadband, and Odyssey Communications were added to the "consortium." The partnership initiated development of a new series, to focus on literacy and Japanese culture, with a curriculum developed by local educators.

The show focused on nature, imagination, independent thinking, and financial literacy, as well as ethics, interacting with friends, and environmental issues. Mojabo, a happy go lucky green and purple monster who likes to exercise;
