Don’t know if anyone else has noticed but NHK World has launched a new studio in New York, which I believe to be their first one outside Asia. Catherine Kobayashi hosted an edition of NewsLine from there.

It's been going for a while. The closing music on the bulletins is a loop that doesn't resolve with the New York editions. There's also no surreptitious button press at the end of the bulletin with the New York editions.

Its so strange that NHK does a "normal" set for their NHK World channel, but Japan has some of the "strangest" news presentation any where. And the oddest sets. Their graphics are pretty rudimentary as well. One of the big channels in South Korea just relaunched its news programme and its very "normal". So it cant be a regional thing. If we take the world has a whole, most countries have a similar look for newscasts, of course to varying to degrees. But Japan by far the oddest and no other country comes close in my opinion. Sets, lighting, music, graphics, it all seems so ...different.....but then NHK builds that in New York. Its almost like they are saying "Yeah we know our domestic news has weird presentation....here is our attempt at being like everyone else". Not a criticism persay...but could you imagine the BBC presenting the news from one of those weirdly complicated sets

As unusual as it is, I really do love that wooden set.

Probably worth saying that NHK does have
some more conventional-looking news sets, like the main evening News 7 comes from a fairly standard looking virtual set.
But, yes, there are lots of quite interesting ones. This is the daytime "news from around the regions" programme, for example:

Whilst that pink and blue set looks a bit bonkers, it's actually for WNI (Weathernews Inc), a weather channel - and it looks rather nice on air. This first capture below is of the "Laundry Forecast" - dry weather = put the washing out!

Finally, a historical aside - SMG had a deal with WNI for Scottish and Grampian weather forecasts in the early 2000s:
