On October 18, NHK is airing a special documentary on actress Yui Aragaki, focusing on her singing career that started a year ago. The program was filmed over the course of that year, starting with her first recording and her first concert at the Nippon Budokan.

As Aragaki had little experience when she made her debut, the show will highlight the challenges she has faced in becoming a singer.

Aragaki's newest single "Akai Ito" - a cover of a Kobukuro song - goes on sale this coming Wednesday.
