For over a decade now, Nobuyuki Tsujii fans in Japan are treated to special TV documentaries aired around New Year Day, the most important public holiday in Japan. Last year (2019), there was a corucopia of 2019 New Year TV/Radio Specials.
BS-Asahi (Asahi premium TV) has announced a new show on New Year Day, as well as a rebroadcast of last year's show on New Year Eve. I expect similar announcements from BS-Fuji (Asahi premium TV) .
These TV shows can be watched on the Internet through a [one-time] subscription to JapanNetTV (see Nobuyuki Tsujii Japan TV Specials -- how you can watch them online). A one-month subscription will allow you to watch each show, on demand, for the duration of two weeks.
Below you will find the broadcast announcements as they become known

Program description [ translated from Japanese]
In 2009, pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii became the first Japanese gold medalist at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. As a result of the victory, performances in Europe and the United States have increased, and he has collaborated with prominent conductors and orchestras. Ten years from that day, a concert that could be called the culmination of Mr. Tsujii, who is now one of the world-class pianists, was held in various places in 2019 and became a hot topic. [At these concerts,] he performed Beethoven's “Appasionata”, Schumann's “Piano Quintet” and Chopin's “Piano Concerto No.1”. performance that require unimaginable concentration and physical strength, Mr. Tsujii played wonderfully. The program will deliver the supreme melody while closely following the concert at Suntory Hall, as well as secret stories and treasured videos from the competition.

Every year, we follow the new musical challenges of Mr. Tsujii. This fall, Mr. Tsujii made his first chamber music performance.
Violin Sonata with younger violinist Fumiaki Miura; Takiki Kawakubo who won the top prize in the Tchaikovsky International Competition; Violist Rehi Antonio Udinski; Cellist Jonathan Roseman; and Contrabassist Yuta Kato in chamber version of piano concertos that he had previously performed as soloist with orchestras. The concerts were fresh and trying.
