Are you alright?"Ja: しかし、アキラは目を輝かせて、「大丈夫、もう少し探したいんだ」と答えました。En: But Akira, with sparkling eyes, replied, "It's fine, I want to search a little longer."Ja: 時が経つと、空から降る雪は強くなり、道を見失いそうになりました。En: As time passed, the snowfall from the sky became heavier, and they were on the verge of losing their way.Ja: ハナは、「どうしてそんなに急ぐの?」と聞いてみました。En: Hana asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"Ja: アキラは一瞬立ち止まり、深呼吸しました。En: Akira paused for a moment and took a deep breath.Ja: 「ハナ、実はね...僕の家族には古い秘密があるんだ。この遺跡に、その答えが隠されているかもしれないんだ」と打ち明けました。En: "Hana, the truth is... my family has an old secret. This ruin might hold the answer," he confessed.Ja: ハナは驚きましたが、アキラの決意を感じました。En: Hana was surprised but sensed Akira's determination.Ja: 「分かった、あなたを信じるよ。でも、安全が一番だよ」と優しく答えました。En: "I understand, I trust you. But safety comes first," she responded gently.Ja: 二人はさらに進み、やがて雪に覆われた静かな空間に到着しました。En: The two proceeded further and eventually arrived at a silent space covered in snow.Ja: そこには隠れた扉がありました。「これだ!」とアキラは叫びました。En: There was a hidden door. "This is it!" Akira shouted.Ja: その瞬間、吹雪が強まりました。慎重に扉を開けると、古い石室が現れました。En: At that moment, the snowstorm intensified. Carefully opening the door, an ancient stone chamber appeared.Ja: 二人は急いで中に入り、石の棚の上に不思議な時代の遺物を見つけました。En: They hurried inside and found mysterious relics from a bygone era on the stone shelves.Ja: それは、アキラの祖先が古代の歴史的事件に関与していたことを示すものでした。En: These relics indicated that Akira's ancestors were involved in ancient historical events.Ja: 嵐が遺跡の外を轟音で満たす中、アキラは静かに微笑みました。En: As the storm filled the outside of the ruins with a roaring sound, Akira quietly smiled.Ja: 「これで、僕の心に平和が訪れたよ。ありがとう、ハナ」。En: "Now, peace has come to my heart. Thank you, Hana."Ja: ハナも微笑み返し、「いつでも力になるよ。あなたの旅に同行できて嬉しい」と言いました。En: Hana smiled back, "I'm always here to help. I'm happy to accompany you on your journey."Ja: 二人はその石室で雪がやむのを静かに待ちました。En: The two quietly waited in the stone chamber for the snow to stop.Ja: アキラは祖先の真実を知り、友との絆が深まったことを感じながら、新しい夜明けを待ちました。En: As Akira learned the truth about his ancestors and felt a deepened bond with his friend, they awaited a new dawn.Ja: やがて、外の嵐が静まると、二人は新たな決意を胸に歩き出しました。En: Once the storm outside calmed, they set off again, with a new resolve in their hearts.

Agradece a este podcast tantas horas de entretenimiento y disfruta de episodios exclusivos como éste. ¡Apóyale en iVoox! En esta Tercera Hora de Días Extraños exploramos tres historias que desafían nuestra percepción de la realidad. Primero, la revolucionaria teoría de la científica sueca María Strome que propone que la conciencia no emerge del cerebro, sino que es el campo fundamental del universo del que todo lo demás nace, incluida la materia misma. Una hipótesis que podría cambiar para siempre nuestra comprensión de la vida, la muerte y lo que somos realmente. Después viajamos a la India del siglo XVII para conocer la historia real detrás del Taj Mahal: un amor tan intenso que costó mil millones de dólares actuales, catorce partos mortales y un emperador que acabó sus días mirando desde prisión el mausoleo de su amada. Y cerramos con las bandas moteras más salvajes de Japón: los Bosozoku, veteranos kamikaze reconvertidos en motoristas rebeldes que aterrorizaron las calles niponas y cuya estética brutal inspiró obras maestras como Akira. Tres relatos aparentemente dispares unidos por un hilo común: vivimos tiempos verdaderamente extraños.

It's Week 14 in the NFL, and for some teams, it definitely felt more “weak” than “week.” Ryan and Dustin brave snowy upstate New York to break down the best, worst, and most surprising moments from around the league, including Packers-Bears and Bengals-Bills as their top games.

Plus, they update the Cut the Brakes Pick ‘Em Challenge, look ahead to key NFC South matchups, discuss jaw-dropping stats from the Jets' historically bad defense, and name their favorite athletes to ever wear the number 90.

Today on Too Opinionated we sit down with actor Cam Clarke. For many American families, the King family defined Christmas entertainment. "Now They're All Here: The King Family, Over 100 Years of Entertainment From America's First Family of Song" is a not only a complete history of the famous King family, but a story of author, Cam Clarke's, life in front of and behind the camera. "Now They're All Here: The King Family " is more than just a celebration of television history; it's a family album from one of America's most iconic entertainment families. The King Family has been performing together (and with solo careers) since the 1920s: vaudeville, radio, musical films of the 1940s, kitschy sci-fi from the 1950s, tours across the country, recordings in musical genres from jazz and big band to Broadway and pop—even cartoons and video games. Cameron Arthur Clarke is an American voice actor who is known for voicing Leonardo and Rocksteady from the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, Shotaro Kaneda from Akira, Freddy from the Barnyard franchise, Liquid Snake from Metal Gear Solid, Clay Kaczmarek from Assassin's Creed II and Simba from The Lion King franchise whenever Matthew Broderick is unavailable. Cam is also known for being the voice for Snoopy (Snoopy the Musical/Talking Snoopy Doll), Max Sterling in Robotech, He-Man in the 2002 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, the tween idol, Heath Burns, in the original Monster High, and Professor X in several X-Men properties.

Yuki quietly laughed, but there was a hint of pain hidden behind her words.Ja: 「アキラ、お兄ちゃんの仕事や夢は大切だとわかってる。En: "I understand that Akira, your work and dreams are important.Ja: でも、たまには顔を見せてほしいの。En: But sometimes, I want you to show your face.Ja: 両親も寂しいし、私も…」その晩、夕飯を囲んで親しい会話が続きました。En: Our parents feel lonely, and so do I..." That evening, intimate conversations continued around the dinner table.Ja: アキラは東京の話をし、ユキは田舎の生活の苦労を語り合いました。En: Akira talked about life in Tokyo, while Yuki shared the hardships of rural life.Ja: 暖かな灯りの下で、心の壁が少しずつ崩れていきました。En: Under the warm light, the emotional walls between them slowly began to crumble.Ja: 食後、ユキはアキラに話しかけました。En: After the meal, Yuki spoke to Akira.Ja: 「たまには私も東京に行ってみたいわ。En: "I would like to visit Tokyo sometimes.Ja: お兄ちゃんの生活を見て、直接話し合えたらいいわね。En: It would be nice to see your life, and we could discuss things directly."Ja: 」その瞬間、アキラは彼女を見つめる目が優しく、頼もしいものとなりました。En: In that instant, Akira's gaze turned gentle and reassuring.Ja: 「もちろんだよ、ユキ。En: "Of course, Yuki.Ja: これからはもっと頻繁に来るし、君も東京に遊びに来るといい。En: I will come more often, and you should visit Tokyo as well."Ja: 」二人は久しぶりの和解と再会の喜びで、心が満たされました。En: Their hearts were filled with the joy of reconciliation and reunion after such a long time.Ja: 外には雪が静かに降り続き、穏やかな冬の夜が二人を優しく包み込んでいました。En: Outside, snow continued to fall quietly, enveloping the two gently on a peaceful winter night.Ja: アキラとユキはそれぞれの道を歩みながらも、いつでも家族という繋がりが心の中に強く残っていることを感じたのでした。En: Akira and Yuki felt a strong sense of their family connection remaining in their hearts as they each continued on their respective paths.

Just when you thought our annual Shat The Movies Halloween Spooktacular was over, we've back with one more mystical mission into the macabre. Commissioner Rob is raising "Vampire Hunter D" from the '80s crypt and bracing for our darkest takes. In this episode, voiced by Dick Ebert, Gene and Big D clash on whether the animation is delightfully nostalgic or criminally cheap. Gene asks why there's an 8-year-old wandering the post-apocalyptic countryside with a rifle; and Dick dives into the infamous shower scene. The Shat Crew also discusses why Left Hand eats dirt, what Time-Bewitching Incense actually does and who needed half-naked teen girls offering their bodies to sexually unavailable immortals. Movie Summary:Vampire Hunter D (1985) is a cult-classic Japanese anime film set in a post-apocalyptic future where mutants, vampires, and monsters rule the night. Blending gothic horror, cyberpunk, and dark fantasy, the movie follows D, a mysterious half-human, half-vampire "dhampir" hired to rescue a young woman from the powerful vampire Count Magnus Lee. Directed by Toyoo Ashida and based on Hideyuki Kikuchi's acclaimed light novel, Vampire Hunter D is celebrated for its haunting atmosphere, striking hand-drawn animation, and groundbreaking fusion of sci-fi, horror, and anime aesthetics. A cornerstone of 1980s anime, it paved the way for darker, more adult-oriented animation like Akira and Ninja Scroll, cementing its legacy as a must-watch for fans of vampire anime and classic Japanese animation.
