Nostalgia, Big City<->Hometown

[Eija Niskanen]

Against this it is interesting that the NHK 15-minute asadora, which
is almost always about the past, the showa period, the furusato etc.,
is this time about a contemporary girl, who wants to be a hip hop
dancer. There is, though, a contrast between the girl's home town,
Sapporo, and Tokyo.  - Eija
