Kiváló találós kérdés az, hogy ki volt Japánban a Tsutsumi, Mori, Kobayashi, Yoshimoto négyesfogat. Az adásban erre ott van a válasz. Érdekes világ lehetett a nyolcvanas évek második felének Japánja a maga kiemelkedő gazdagságával. Amit aztán egy hihetetlen tőzsdei összeomlás követett. A Nikkei igazi 2023-as felállásához aztán szükség volt a világ legjobb részvénypiaci promóterére, Warren Buffett-re. Hatalmas kérdés az is, hogy jelenleg mennyire olcsó a jen, amely az egyik fele az egyik legnagyobb tőkepiaci korbácsnak: a dollár-jen keresztárfolyamnak. Az viszont egyértelműen megállapítható, hogy napjainkban igazi „value trade” Japánba utazni. A japán társadalom látványos problémái ellenére is lenne mit tanulnia a világnak a felkelő Nap országától. Japánról Jónap Richárd, Móró Tamás és Tunkli Dániel beszélgetett.Olvass minden nap a világ történéseiről egy Concorde-os szemüvegén keresztül: https://www.concordeblog.hu/Kövess bennünket minden csatornánkon:https://www.linkedin.com/company/concordecsoport/https://www.instagram.com/concordecsoport/https://www.facebook.com/concorde/https://www.youtube.com/@concorde_csoport

Misadventures in Music with Ian Prowse & Mick Ord

Our guest in Episode 27 is the musician, artistic director and all-round Liverpool legend, Jayne Casey.  She formed the short-lived but influential 70's band Big In Japan which boasted Ian Brodie, Holly Johnson, Bill Drummond and Budgie in its ranks. Then she founded Pink Military and Pink Industry before finding herself at the epicentre of the dance music explosion of the 90's as part of the CREAM empire.  Her two-volume autobiography is out in 2025 and if it's anything like this episode of Misadventure in Music with Ian Prowse and Mick Ord it will be a real firecracker.

I'm just off the heels of a phenomenal trip to Japan. It was precious time, two weeks with the whole family. And though I did not pack my podcaster hat, I couldn't help but immerse myself in the country, the culture, and sought off the beaten trail places where ancient history was kept alive right next to mega-modern skyscrapers. I had to share some of my favorite stories, and moments, with you, and am doing a deep dive into the clay figurines I saw first hand at the Tokyo National Museum that are fixtures on History Channel's Ancient Aliens, dedicating an entire episode to dogus and the connection I feel they have with an ancient spiritual creature from Japan.Let's get into it! Stories from Japan 2024!General comments about the gift of travelWe travel for a myriad of reasons, to reconnect with people; to stretch out of our comfort zones, to shift or expand our perspectives; and at least temporarily to suspend the bellybutton-close vision we have of reality, yes zooming out on that miopic point of view.My recent trip did just that. 6000 miles by plane, Japan is a country that spent most of its history isolated from the western world. Tokyo is a city that is as large as New York City and London COMBINED, which is hard to wrap my mind around. Japanese culture is calcitrant in its manners, formalities, customs, and timeliness. Yes, even in the midst of modern times where everyone is plugged into social media; their culture remains intact. Though I did catch a few moments, slips of some pushing for this steadfast culture to change, subtle glimpses from the youth. Teeny tiny acts of rebellion; anarchy in a sense, but in order to spot them my vision had to become microscopic. And part of my vision came from being confronted by an officer at a baseball game.But more on that later.Sources and MaterialsAsakusa's Sensoji TempleIf you wish to see the objects found in the burial mound I climbed click hereGreat blog post about the place I went on my solo adventure - Todoroki ValleySetagaya - a place of art and literature - guideDid you hear the good news?

On this, the week of the NYC premiere of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, we're talking about the pressing questions on everyone's mind like: just why is Ghostbusters so big in Japan? And why does Japan get all the cool stuff like the cool posters, music video, and Frozen Cafe pop ups? Don't worry, we also talk about other things this week too like the premiere event in NYC, Hook and Ladder No. 8 being frozen over to benefit a good cause, Adam Savage's Tested set visit, popcorn buckets, YHS' Firehouse Fridays, and more! But seriously, why does Japan get all the cool stuff? And why does Ghostbusters resonate so deeply there?
