NHK日前宣佈，18年前的人氣紀錄片節目「Project X～挑戰者們～」（プロジェクトX～挑戦者たち～，台譯：超越極限）將在明年四月推出新作。
該節目在2000年至2005年之間播出，主題聚焦在「戰後重建」和「高度成長」，介紹了過去在日本經濟成長的背後，默默付出的許多無名英雄。節目播出後引起社會廣泛共鳴，並翻譯為多種語言，在全球30個國家播放。
該節目的主題曲「地上之星」（地上の星）由中島美雪創作並演唱。「地上之星」指的是默默支持社會的無名英雄，意即人們只會抬頭仰望天空的繁星，卻忘了身邊就有照亮別人的星星。該曲推出後即大受好評，停留在排行榜上長達三年半之久。因為此曲的風行，中島美雪還在2002年首度登上了「紅白歌唱大賽」。
NHK會長稻葉延雄表示，全新系列的「Project X」將會聚焦在日本泡沫經濟破滅後的失落年代，介紹這個時代不為人知的挑戰者們。
至於新系列的主題曲，節目組表示「地上之星」這首歌曲和節目的連結感很強，但主題曲目前仍在討論中。
NHK announced that they will relaunch "Project X ~ Challengers~", a popular documentary TV program from 18 years ago. The new series of the program will be aired in April next year.
The program was broadcast from 2000 to 2005, mainly about post-war revival and unknown heroes behind the high-speed economic development. The program received a good response in Japan. It was translated into various languages and broadcast in 30 countries around the world.
"Earthly Stars / 地上の星", the theme song of the program, is written and sung by Miyuki Nakajima. "Earthly Stars" refer to the unknown heroes who support the society silently. The song implies that people ignore the "Earthly Stars" around themselves and look up to the stars in the sky. The song became a phenomenon and had stayed on the chart for three and a half years. Due to the popularity of the song, Nakajima participated in the "Red and White Song Battle" for the 1st time in 2002.
NHK president Nobuo Inaba (稲葉延雄) said that the new series of "Project X" will focus on the lost era after the Japanese bubble economy burst. And more unknown challengers from this era will be introduced.
As for the theme song, the program team said that it's still under discussion although the song "Earthly Stars" has a strong connection with the program.
