Doggziller and Jellphonic popped thru the show this ep! We were still buzzing from Friday's Circling Sun show at the Pitt St Methodist Churc, so we had to kick off with their "Bliss Part 2" before spinning a couple for the birthday girl Linda Clifford dropping a couple from her late-70s RSO Records disco nuggets "Don't Give It Up" and "Runaway Love". From there things got properly funky: Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band's steel-pan reading of Mtume's "Juicy Fruit" (the B-side 45 on Big Crown, 2022), Bobby Oroza doing his Finnish-Texan soul thing on "I Got Love," and the Terea deep cut "Pretty Bird." The boogie continuum kept things moving through The Deele, O'Bryan, and a touch of Tatsuro Yamashita's 1977 City Pop gem "Paper Doll," before Evelyn Champagne King's "Shake Down," Dynasty's "Check It Out," and The Time's "Get It Up" pushed the tempo right up. The second half ranged wide without losing the thread. Leenalchi's "Here Comes That Crow" - the Seoul seven-piece's just-dropped Luaka Bop debut, a chopped pansori tale rerouted through bass-heavy psych-funk - sat comfortably alongside Daktaris' raw Afrobeat ("Eltsuhg Ibal Lasiti" from their Soul Explosion LP from the Daptone studio) and a run of West African gold: Zeal Onyia's Nigerian highlife, Ebo Taylor & Pat Thomas' "Yes Indeed" (originally recorded in Togo for the 1981 Abotar LP Super Sounds Namba), and Julian Y Su Combo's Afro-Cuban "Enyere Kumbara." Sharon Jones's "What If We All Stopped Paying Taxes," Trio Mocotó's samba-funk "Chamego De Ine," and (birthday boy) Marcus Miller's "I Could Give You More". Heatwave's "Too Hot To Handle" clocked 50 years this month, so you know we had to give "Ain't No Half Steppin" some airtime. Press the button.
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup just around the corner, Dan Orlowitz re-joins the Krewe to preview Japan's tournament outlook. We break down Samurai Blue's final roster, key players to watch, group-stage matchups, and what a successful World Cup would look like for Japan. Plus, Dan shares his predictions for the tournament's biggest surprises, disappointments, and who he thinks will be lifting the trophy when it's all said and done. Whether you're a diehard soccer fan or a once-every-four-years World Cup viewer, this episode is the perfect primer before kickoff. ------ About the Krewe ------ The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

From Astro Boy to Gundam to real-world robots like ASIMO and Pepper, Japan's fascination with robots runs deep. This week, the Krewe is joined by author, cultural commentator, & robot enthusiast Matt Alt to explore how robots became heroes instead of threats in Japanese pop culture and how those sci-fi dreams quietly shaped Japan's modern relationship with technology, AI, and everyday automation. From giant mecha and cyborg icons to robot cafés and beyond, we dig into why Japan seems so comfortable living alongside machines in an episode that's equal parts nostalgia, culture, and future tech.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

It is a track designed for the quiet hours—evoking the neon glow of a city skyline seen through a window and the melancholic nostalgia of a midnight stay. If you enjoy City Pop aesthetics, 80s film scores (Vangelis, Tangerine Dream), or Lo-Fi Retrowave, this final stop in the series is your sanctuary.

Japan is often described as having “spirituality without religion”, but what does that actually mean?

De laatste aflevering van het jaar is een feit en daarin blikt Benjamin alvast vooruit op 2026. Want op 17 januari presenteren we weer heel veel nieuw soul en jazz talent tijdens Noorderslag in Groningen, op het NPO Luister Soul & Jazz podium. Daar presenteren we 6 jonge acts die je in de gaten moet houden het komende jaar. En ook in Get In! zal Benjamin een aantal van deze artiesten spreken. Onder andere het duo Kagami zal optreden tijdens Noorderslag. Kagami bestaat uit de twee jonge producers Rotem Gerad en Lucas Sim. Afgelopen jaar brachten ze hun debuut ‘Time Machine' uit. Een samenwerking met Japanse vocalisten die geïnspireerd is op City Pop, een stroming die in de jaren 80 in Japan ontstond toen de platenindustrie daar booming was.
The Krewe is joined by Atsuko Mori of Camellia Tea Ceremony in Kyoto for a deep dive into the Japanese tea ceremony. Together, they explore the experience itself, the tools and etiquette involved, what guests can expect, and why preserving this centuries-old tradition still matters today.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

This week, we finally dive into the cultural behemoth that is K-Pop Demon Hunters—six months late and fully confused. We talk through how this extremely catchy, hyper-animated, wildly popular kids' movie managed to conquer 2025, even though it's… fine? We break down what works (the faces, the music, that glorious fat tiger), what doesn't (the pacing, the unearned romance, the baffling reconciliation), and why we're still not convinced it deserves the cultural chokehold it has. Plus, we catch up on everything we've been checking out lately—from doom metal to City Pop to WOJIA novels—and wonder how we went from Spider-Verse to this.Episode NotesWe kick things off with hard root beer, ingredient confusion, and the audacity of “beer, sugar, caramel color” as an ingredients list.Thanksgiving rant: we complain about Christmas invading everything earlier each year, praise gratitude as a practice, and call out the consumerist creep of “Black November.”Eden shares the saga of the family WhatsApp gratitude initiative and why performative gratefulness ain't it.New Year's resolutions? Terrible. A system designed to fail—except for gyms and planner companies.What We've Been Up ToEdenNot much… exhaustion + scrolling + arguing with Reddit.Reading more Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady.Secretly going full Wuxia-pilled but not ready to talk yet.Deep in digital accessibility at work (contrast ratios forever).Listening almost exclusively to City Pop to summon 80s vibes.PeterHeavy music roundup:Shores of Null / Convocation split.A Sun of the Dying – Throne of Ashes.The Reticent – Please (mental-illness-theme concept album).1914 – Viribus Unitis, a blackened death metal concept album about WWI.Bell Witch & Aerial Ruin – Stygian Bough Vol. 2, the lightest album of the three (which says something).Finished all seven Murderbot books and reflects on the genuinely human core beneath the action.Game updates:PowerWash Simulator 2 — massive improvements, more forgiving completion, soap freedom.Ball Pit (Ball×Pit) — breakout + roguelike + city builder; surprisingly great, Devolver-approved.
Mr. Jun Parker is a Japan-born city pop musician based in Portland, Victoria. - ビクトリア州はポートランドにお住まいのジュン・パーカーさんは、母国である日本が発祥の音楽「シティポップ」を手掛けるミュージシャンです。今月リリースされた新譜「色褪せたフォトグラフ」について聞いてみました。
We all know what happened to the sorcerer's apprentice, right?Mickey Mouse got hold of a spell book before he was smart enough to use it, conjured a broom that just wouldn't quit, and nearly got sucked into a whirlpool. Yet, tragically, no one can remember what the moral of this story was supposed to be!This week we batten down the hatches in preparation for the #slopwave – at least, that was the plan a couple of months ago when we first started worrying about the volume of mass-produced AI gibberish coming down the pipes. Now it kinda feels too late? Like microplastics in the brain, we're already compromised.Still, we start by tackling the current wave of AI slop infiltrating country music, the lo-fi beat scene, City Pop and faux-vintage soul before turning to deeper conundrums about AI-generated art. Could an AI music app like Suno ever produce a hit? Is Suno really so much worse than using a loop library like Splice? And will AI ever create anything as meaningful as Mr Blobby? These questions and more on a slopulent edition of No Tags.We're not pretending to be experts here – just listen to that new No Tags theme song for proof! – so we'd love to hear from people who either work in AI or operate in a field that's started to feel the slop.

Support us on Patreon for higher bitrate downloads and bonus episodes. We're back to normal from Megami Tensei month with another bit of a grab bag episode of Sunsoft soundtracks. Boin, who previously joined us for a mini-episode on Journey to Silius returns to talk about a little bit of Blaster Master, a lot of GIMMICK and a little more about City Hunter for the PC Engine. Sunsoft are almost as well regarded for their soundtracks as for their games, if not more so, so we have a good chat about the general sound for these games and especially the influence of Jazz Fusion and City Pop on the latter two soundtracks.
