Listen to Ballet Help Desk ad-free on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BalletHelpDesk If you've been paying attention, you've noticed: Japanese dancers are everywhere. Winning competitions, yes, but also filling the upper ranks of major ballet companies around the world. We've been wondering for a while now what is actually going on over there. Turns out, Kenta Kura has some answers. Kura spent nearly three decades inside the Royal Ballet, first as a soloist with the Royal Ballet, then as the first Japanese permanent teacher at the Royal Ballet School. In 2023, he came home to Japan with a clear mission: bring that world-class methodology to K-Ballet Academy, and change the equation for Japanese dancers who have long had to leave the country to access professional-level training. In this conversation, we dig into how ballet training is structured in Japan from the ground up, what the Kumakawa Method is and why it matters, and how K-Ballet Academy's Pre-Professional Course functions as a direct pipeline into K-Ballet Tokyo. We also explore what it takes for Japanese dancers to build careers abroad, the mental and emotional preparation that journey requires, and what it was like for Kura to be the only boy in his ballet school in a small Hokkaido village, until he stepped onto that international stage and felt, for the first time, like he truly belonged. His advice for young dancers is as simple as it is hard: allow yourself to make mistakes. Stay hungry. Stay curious. And believe in your own potential more than anyone else does.

Today we’re going to take you to a sleepy pocket of Japan’s countryside called Myoko. Located about a three-hour train ride from Tokyo, Myoko was said to be one of the oldest ski areas in Japan, where it once saw young skiers streaming along its neon-lit streets. That was, of course, during the economic boom back in the 1980s and 1990s, before ski-lovers swapped Myoko for other popular destinations like Niseko in Hokkaido and Hakuba in Nagano. But one Singaporean company is hoping to inject life back into the area by buying up ski resorts in Myoko and the nearby Madarao, and building an integrated township out of them. And that company is called Patience Capital Group. Founded in 2019 by the former head of Japan at Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC Ken Chan, Patience Capital Group manages assets on behalf of institutional and private investors worldwide. The firm says it currently manages two close-ended funds. The first is a hospitality fund focused on unlocking value in the Japanese tourism sector, and that’s where the ski resorts come in. The fund, in particular, was said to have raised 39 billion yen from institutional investors ranging from sovereign wealth funds to a university endowment fund. The other close-ended fund, meanwhile, is a residential fund investing in mid-market residential assets located in the Greater Tokyo Area. Beyond that, the firm also has a lifestyle vertical that aims to create a suite of consumer experiences and businesses to complement its portfolio and encourage placemaking in its destinations. But how will the various business operations under Patience Capital Group come together to create viable recreational townships in Japan? Meanwhile, the firm says it is tapping into the Japanese tourism and residential markets given a rise in investors’ interest in the country amid relatively low cost of capital. But how much money is in the Myoko and Madarao areas exactly and what are the risks of pulling off a transformation project of this size? How sustainable is the tourism boom in Japan for long-term infrastructure projects in both the recreational and residential space? On Under the Radar, finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Ken Chan, CEO, Patience Capital Group.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

VOV1 - Mặc dù đang và đang áp dụng đồng loạt nhiều biện pháp tổng thể để đối phó với tình trạng giảm dân số tự nhiên, nhưng Nhật Bản vẫn chưa giải quyết được một vấn đề cốt lõi là nâng cao tỷ lệ sinh sản của phụ nữ. Theo báo cáo “Xu hướng dân số” do Bộ Y tế và Lao động Nhật Bản vừa công bố, số trẻ sơ sinh ra đời tại nước này trong năm 2025 là 671.236 trẻ, giảm tới 14.937 trẻ so với năm 2024. Theo đó, tỷ lệ sinh sản trung bình trong đời một phụ nữ Nhật Bản chỉ còn 1,14 điểm, giảm 0,01 điểm so với năm trước đó. Đây là năm thứ 10 liên tiếp tỷ lệ sinh của phụ nữ Nhật Bản suy giảm và là mức thấp nhất từ trước đến nay.Trong số các địa phương của Nhật Bản, thủ đô Tokyo xếp cuối bảng tỷ lệ sinh trung bình 3 năm liên tiếp với mức 0,96 điểm, Hokkaido và Miyagi đồng hạng thứ 2 từ dưới lên với 1,0 điểm. Địa phương có tỷ lệ sinh cao nhất là Okinawa – cực Nam Nhật Bản, với 1,52 điểm, tiếp theo là Miyazaki và Fukui với các mức lần lượt là 1,46 và 1,45 điểm. Từ những con số nêu trên có thể thấy rõ tình trạng “Tây cao, Đông thấp”, tức là các địa phương phía Tây Nhật Bản có tỷ lệ sinh cao hơn phía Đông.Trong một diễn biến có liên quan, theo một báo cáo khác do Bộ Nội vụ và Truyền thông Nhật Bản vừa công bố, tổng dân số của nước này tính đến ngày 01/10/2025 là 123.049.524 người, giảm 2,5% so với cuộc điều tra dân số gần nhất vào năm 2020. Đây là lần giảm thứ ba liên tiếp trong chu kỳ điều tra dân số 5 năm một lần của Nhật Bản, đồng thời là mức giảm lớn nhất được ghi nhận trong lịch sử.Trong những năm gần đây, Chính phủ Nhật Bản đã và đang áp dụng đồng loạt nhiều biện pháp tổng thể nhằm khuyến khích kết hôn, sinh con để đối phó với tình trạng giảm dân số tự nhiên, bao gồm cả các biện pháp nâng cao sức khỏe sinh sản, giãn cách thời gian lao động, ưu đãi về thu nhập và nhà ở… nhưng vẫn chưa đạt được kết quả như mong đợi. Theo đó, việc duy trì dân số vẫn tiếp tục là bài toán nan giải đối với Tokyo.Tuấn Nhật/VOV- JapanBộ Y tế và Lao động Nhật Bản (ảnh VOV Tokyo)

VOV1 - Mặc dù đã và đang liên tục đối diện với tình trạng giá cả các mặt hàng thiết yếu gia tăng không cản nổi, nhưng bắt đầu từ ngày mai 1/6, người Nhật lại phải đón một cơn “bão giá” mới.Theo báo cáo vừa được công bố do công ty dữ liệu doanh nghiệp hàng đầu Nhật Bản Teikoku Data Bank (TDB) tập hợp từ 195 nhà sản xuất thực phẩm chủ yếu của nước này, bắt đầu từ 1/6, sẽ có tới 1.078 mặt hàng lên giá, với mức tăng trung bình 14%. Trong số đó, có 304 mặt hàng là thực phẩm đã qua chế biến như mỳ ăn liền, đồ hộp, thức ăn lên men… Đây đều là những thứ không thể thiếu trên bàn ăn hàng ngày của người dân Nhật Bản. TDB còn cho biết sẽ có 2.269 mặt hàng nữa lên giá từ tháng 7 tới.Theo đó, nếu tính chung từ tháng 1 đến tháng 10/2026, có tới 9.361 mặt hàng thực phẩm chủ yếu bị tăng giá tại thị trường Nhật Bản. Theo các nhà sản xuất, có 3 nguyên nhân chính dẫn tới tình trạng nêu trên. Trong đó, 97,7% doanh nghiệp cho biết là do giá nguyên vật liệu đầu vào tăng cao, 74,1% khẳng định do chi phí vận chuyển và 73,7% phàn nàn về giá bao bì đóng gói bị đội lên. Đặc biệt, 22,7% doanh nghiệp khẳng định là do ảnh hưởng từ tình hình Trung Đông.Trong bối cảnh đó, hầu hết các doanh nghiệp cung cấp năng lượng và nhiên liệu lớn của Nhật Bản cũng ra thông báo cho biết sẽ tăng giá điện và khí đốt từ 1/6. Trong đó, mức tăng giá điện cao nhất lần lượt thuộc về Công ty Điện lực Okinawa – cực Nam và Điện lực Hokkaido – cực Bắc Nhật Bản, còn mức tăng giá khí đốt cao nhất thuộc về Tokyo và Osaka. Đây được coi là “cú đánh bồi” làm cho sinh hoạt của nhiều gia đình Nhật Bản vốn đang gặp khó khăn, sẽ trở nên khó khăn hơn./.Tuấn Nhật/VOV Nhật bảnBắt đầu từ 1-6, sẽ có tới 1.078 mặt hàng lên giá tại Nhật Bản (ảnh VOV Tokyo)

BEST OF: With the exception of military records or a few popular cases, UFO research often gets drawn into an America-centric sphere. Because of this, or other reasons too, the phenomenon is received internationally with heavy reliance on US news and reports. But according to the US Department of Defense in 2023, Japan is a leading hotspot for UFOs as well. In June 2024, the Japanese government launched an 80-person nonpartisan group, including former defense ministers, to study UAP. Japan has three major UFO cases, named after regional areas - Kofu, Kochi, and Hokkaido - but also has mysterious stories like the Utsuro-Bune and the abundance of objects spotted over the Daiichi power plant after the 2011 disaster. Japan also has a Roswell, and a Sedona, in regard to UFO popularity and vortexes. The town is called Iinomachi in Fukushima Prefecture, just outside Fukushima city. Objects and lights have been seen here since at least the 1970s. Just north of the town in the dense forest is the IINO UFO MUSEUM, home to documents, replicas, and books on the subject. Outside is a flying saucer bus stop. Above the museum is Mount Senganmori, which features magnetic anomalies and little alien carvings along its trail. Few know that the Roswell research center and museum, founded in 1991, was not the first of its kind; Kinichi Arai, a Japanese man, formerly in the military, who died in 2002, began the first of its kind museum and research facility in 1979.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

In this episode of F-Stop Collaborate and Listen, host Matt Payne chats with Shaun Keenan, an American photographer living in Hokkaido, Japan. They dive deep into the issue of over tourism, especially its impact on beloved photo locations in Japan and worldwide, and discuss the ethical dilemmas photographers face when sharing these places. Shaun Keenan shares his personal journey from theater and filmmaking to photography, touches on the importance of respecting local cultures, and offers his thoughts on creative motivation, community, and finding meaning in photography beyond metrics or monetization. Throughout, both speakers emphasize the value of thoughtful, respectful engagement with the land, and the importance of leading with personal values rather than simply chasing viral fame or financial gain. The episode is rich with wisdom for anyone interested in sustainable creativity and responsible travel photography.

Yilan village chief recalled over mining project in Indigenous territory A village chief in Yilan has been recalled following controversy over his handling of a mining project in an Indigenous traditional territory. The recall vote against Lunpi Village chief Wu Ping-tsung in Datong Township passed with 214 in favor of the recall, 120 against, and four invalid ballots. Accordibg to the Yilan County Election Commission, votes in favor accounted for 35.31-per cent of the village's 606 eligible voters, exceeding both the legal threshold and the number of opposing votes. Initiators of the recall argued that Wu ignored local opposition to the mining project and instead supported the developer under the guise of (假借…的名義，以…為藉口) administrative neutrality. They also says the recall was aimed at protecting future generations from potential environmental harm. Wu said in a Facebook post in March that the project proceeded in accordance with the Indigenous Peoples Basic Law and he denied claims he supported the company that won the bid.

In the wake of Pearl Harbor, more than ten thousand Americans living abroad became trapped in Japanese-controlled territories, and with rumors of ill treatment and torture, the U.S. State Department was desperate to bring home its citizens. Despite the intense acrimony between the warring governments, a tireless State Department official, James Keeley, helped hatch an extraordinary plan through diplomatic back channels: each country would send a ship filled with civilians through war-torn waters to a neutral port city where their passengers could be safely exchanged. Today’s guest is Evelyn Iritani, author of “Safe Passage: The Untold Story of Diplomatic Intrigue, Betrayal, and the Exchange of American and Japanese Civilians by Sea During World War II.” While the U.S. and Japanese governments both assumed their enemy non-combatants--including many in relocation camps and jail cells--would welcome their new "tickets to freedom," the reality proved more complicated. For those who had sunk deep roots in their adopted homelands, the exchanges offered an agonizing choice. And for some patriotic Americans of Japanese descent, there was no choice at all: as the State Department found itself in need of more bodies to trade, they were "repatriated" against their will to a country at war that had never been their home. Some of the stories of repatriates we discuss a Japanese Peruvian barber brought to the U.S. as a negotiating pawn; three American teachers accused of spying in the Japanese island of Hokkaido, and a young Japanese American boy fascinated with The Green Hornet and boy scouts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cette semaine, on a eu envie d'inverser une nouvelle fois les rôles : j'ai confié le micro à mon associée Marie, le temps d'un épisode pour répondre à ses questions et vous raconter mon road trip de quinze jours au Japon en famille.Cap sur ce pays qui fascine autant qu'il impressionne, et qui peut sembler, au moment de préparer un voyage, aussi attirant que déroutant. Entre Tokyo, le Mont Fuji, des villages de pêcheurs, des onsens, des sanctuaires, Osaka en folie et quelques jours de ski à Hokkaido, je vous partage un voyage aussi intense que dépaysant.Dans cet épisode, je vous raconte comment j'ai construit mon itinéraire entre voiture, train et avion, pourquoi j'ai choisi de partir en hiver, comment organiser un road trip au Japon avec des enfants, et ce qu'il faut vraiment savoir avant de partir. On parle aussi budget, hôtels en famille, konbinis, restaurants, bains japonais, valises cabine, trains ultra ponctuels et mille petits détails qui rendent ce pays unique.Mais surtout, je vous emmène au-delà des images de carte postale : dormir en yukata face au Fuji, pique-niquer devant un Lawson, chanter au karaoké avec mes enfants, nourrir les biches de Nara, me perdre dans Tokyo, ou encore découvrir ce mélange si japonais de raffinement, de folie et d'ordre absolu.Un épisode pour mieux comprendre le Japon, s'y projeter, et peut-être avoir, vous aussi, envie d'y partir.Un podcast produit et réalisé par Sakti Productions & Beau Voyage

Ashford Letters read on TWiP 276 TWiP study – information and survey New Case Male in his 20s from Hokkaido, Japan, developed fatigue and rash, followed by fever and myalgia 6 days later. He was a group of five individuals on a hunting trip prior to this and reports that 3 friends are just fine but one other individual developed similar symptoms.  He reports that they had been hunting the Ussuri brown bear, which is larger and more aggressive than the Asian black bear. They had been successful and all five of them had consumed well cooked bear meat. He does share that he is aware of infectious risk from eating bear and thus the meat was well cooked. He and the one fellow hunter who did get sick were unique in that they each ate one of the eye balls raw. This is a tradition that is felt to give the consumer the great vision that these animals are purported to have.

This week, we cover how the legend of Yoshitsune as told in Gikeiki describes his demise. Which is how his tale ends, unless of course you know the truth: that Yoshitsune actually escaped to Hokkaido, became a god, and then left for the mainland to become Genghis Khan. Wait, what? Show notes here.
