In the 1960s and 1970s, amidst the spread of commercialism in Japanese television that emphasized ratings, Haruhiko Hagimoto aimed to "produce programs that provide value to society. His masterpiece, "Far Away, Far Away," portrayed culture, history, and people's lives through travel, providing viewers with opportunities to discover and learn. He also established the production company "TV Man Union" and created a free production environment with Kuniko Mukoda and Akira Kuramoto. His documentaries on depopulation issues and postwar reconstruction garnered much sympathy. His philosophy, "Program production is an inquiry into society," continues to influence many creators today, and was the foundation for the evolution of television into a medium for spreading culture and knowledge.
