A tiny concert moment turned into a full-blown fandom mystery: when Jun Matsumoto grabbed a drone mid-song during the ARASHI show, it instantly reminded us of Jungkook doing the same thing on the BTS tour. So we do what we do best and start digging. Who grabbed the concert drone first, was it happening across multiple shows, and is it pure coincidence that both groups were touring in Japan around the same time?From there, we zoom out into bigger questions that every J-pop and K-pop fan ends up asking sooner or later: how long can groups really last, what the “seven-year itch” looks like in the industry, and why Arashi's long history gives us hope for BTS's future. We also celebrate BTS's AMAs wins, talk about what major U.S. recognition can mean, and bring back the goal that still cracks us up because it's also dead serious: SUGA wants a Grammy.We don't skip the messy side of pop culture, either. We react to legal action tied to defamation and misleading headlines, and we vent about the Ticketmaster class action email many fans just received. Then we get back to the good stuff: Arashi's upcoming Blu-ray and DVD release, STARTO talent updates like Takahisa Masuda's Yellow fashion brand, Snow Man finally putting a huge catalog on streaming, and Takuya Kimura's album and tour news.We close with a very real weekend recap: braving cold sideways rain for the Hello Kitty Cafe Truck pop-up in Boston, then finding out a meteor caused a sonic boom nearby hours later.

A final concert can feel like a party, a farewell, and a time capsule all at once and ARASHI somehow makes it all work. We watch the We Are Arashi 2026 finale from Tokyo Dome and hit record immediately, because sitting with those feelings in silence was not an option. What follows is our honest, slightly scattered, very emotional recap of the night that closed a 26 plus year run and reshaped what a J-pop goodbye can look like.We talk through the moments that made the livestream feel huge: a Dome full of rainbow penlights, cinematic camera angles, drones, and those bold stage effects that swing from wonder to intensity in seconds. We also dig into the setlist pacing, from early high-energy throwbacks to the pair of emotional songs that detonated our tear ducts way too soon. If you've ever felt like one track can hold an entire era of your life, you'll know exactly why that section hit so hard.Then we slow down for the details that fans love: the outfit changes, the little bits of humor, the juniors on stage singing along, and the campfire-style staging that turned a stadium into something strangely intimate. Finally, we unpack the farewell speeches member by member, including the surprise moments when even the most composed voice starts to crack, and why the final song feels like a deliberate last gift.If you're watching replays, debating a Blu-ray purchase, or just trying to process the end of an era, this conversation is for you.

One malicious YouTube channel. Real financial damages. A clear warning shot from a major label. We kick things off by reacting to SM Entertainment's lawsuit win against Sojang for defamation tied to EXO, Red Velvet, and aespa, and why it feels like the industry is finally drawing a harder line on harassment, rage bait, and targeted personal attacks. If you've ever wondered what “artist protection” looks like when it leaves the press release stage and hits the courtroom, we talk through the stakes in plain terms.Then we jump across to Japan for a run of updates that are all about live music momentum. T.N.T, led by Yuya Tegoshi, lands a Nippon Budokan debut concert, and we unpack why Budokan carries legendary status for rock and pop artists. We also get into SixTONES announcing a stadium tour schedule, plus Number_i hosting fan meeting events with strict fan club rules. If you follow J-pop tours, ticketing systems, and venue milestones, this stretch is packed with practical context.We also slow down to flag something every fan should take seriously: scam listings and fake livestream pages. With Arashi-related warnings making the rounds, we share a simple mindset for staying safe online by sticking to official sources. From there, we hit more headlines, including Jesse joining a Keroro Gunso anime film, the messy NewJeans and ADOR legal fight with asset freezes and legal team shakeups, KATSEYE canceling a Music Bank appearance, and YG's updates on BABYMONSTER plus future group plans. And because we are us, we close with a story about BLOODYWOOD, a shout to Diljit Dosanjh, and how music can sneak into your subconscious and come out as a wildly vivid dream.Subscribe for more music news, share this with a friend who lives for pop culture headlines, and leave us a review if our rambles keep you company.

2026 Show Notes Addendum:    To round out our second (and final) visit to the realm of backwards VGM (and very closely related non-VGM) on Nerd Noise Radio, let's replay the 2020 original series, which was also a two-parter, but instead of being two "equal billing" parts, it was a one part "episode proper" and then a supplemental Ch F "F-isode" bonus. In addition to being one of my all-time favorite projects to work on in show history, the series also marked an important turning point in show history as the first installment was our last ever NNR broadcast on the main feed to be produced in GarageBand on MacOS (except for the deliberate call-back that was C1E75 in 2023), and the F-isode was my first ever production in Audacity and Ardour in Linux (then Ubuntu Studio (KDE), now, Fedora (GNOME)). Original Show Notes below are largely faithful to the original with one MASSIVE exception: the tracklist is now populated with all the relevant track info, where it was originally withheld to keep the mystery and mystique alive. Lastly: in case anyone is wondering what on earth is happening in the outro: I figured since it would be backwards, and nobody would ever hear it forward unless they either took the initiative to reverse the file themselves, or else find the [quote] "UNBACKED" version on Archive.org, they'd never know what on earth was being said, I decided to forego the standard outro script, and just go nuts. I read a chocolate chip cookie recipe I found online on the spot, and included snippets from every previous episode blooper reel in show history to that point as well as various other sound clips, such as slow-mo vids of my kids, and fresh snippets provided by my brother-in-law Brian Peterson. Anyway, that's what's happening in the outro. I wanted it to be as preposterous and baffling and chaotic as possible!   ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Original Show Notes (modified to show track names on 04/20/2026):   ------------------------------------------------------------------------   Today's broadcast is C1E52 for Wayback Wednesday, April 1st, 2020. It's April 1st, dear listeners, and we haven't had a retrospective in AGES! In such dark, uncertain days as we face today, it's extra important to have a look back at brighter, clearer, saner days as a reminder that as the wheel of time continues to churn, we will inexorably find our way back.   So, sit back and relax as we travel back through 2hrs 25min, and 56 sec of Nerd Noise History and Nostalgia on a program we're calling “Backtracks”.   It is certain to be an experience unlike any other!   Tracklist (ALL TRACKS ARE PLAYED IN REVERSE - except Intro)!

Prepárate para continuar uno de los especiales más ambiciosos de Rejugando con esta segunda parte dedicada a Final Fantasy X-2, una secuela única dentro de la saga que rompió moldes y abrió un nuevo camino en la historia de la franquicia. Dirige y presenta RaffaValencia, acompañado por Eva Farto, Adrián Plaza, Mike Bueno y Jose Arkangellus en un programa de más de 4 horas donde se analiza en profundidad todo lo que rodea a Final Fantasy X-2. En este especial nos adentramos en la primera secuela directa de la historia de Final Fantasy, desarrollada por Square Enix, explorando su contexto, su desarrollo y todas las claves que lo convierten en uno de los títulos más debatidos de la saga. 🔹 El origen de Final Fantasy X-2 Analizamos cómo surge la secuela tras el éxito de Final Fantasy X, el papel de “Eternal Calm” como punto de partida y las decisiones creativas y comerciales que llevaron a Square a dar este paso histórico. 🔹 Historia y evolución de Spira Un análisis profundo del mundo dos años después: el cambio social, las nuevas facciones, la “Calma Eterna” y el viaje de Yuna en busca de respuestas. Exploramos todos los temas narrativos, su tono rompedor y su enfoque completamente distinto al original. 🔹 Yuna, Rikku y Paine: un nuevo enfoque Estudiamos el giro radical en los personajes, la creación del trío protagonista y el enfoque inspirado en la cultura pop de la época, con influencias claras del cine y la música de principios de los 2000. 🔹 Sistema de juego, vestiesferas y misiones Desgranamos uno de los sistemas más originales de la saga: el cambio de clases en combate, la estructura por misiones, la enorme cantidad de contenido opcional y por qué es uno de los Final Fantasy con más minijuegos. 🔹 Música y cambio de identidad sonora Analizamos el giro musical respecto al original, con un enfoque más cercano al J-Pop y a una identidad completamente diferente a la de Nobuo Uematsu, marcando un contraste clave en la experiencia. 🔹 Curiosidades, desarrollo y polémicas Desde ideas descartadas (como precuelas o historias alternativas) hasta decisiones controvertidas en tono, diseño y narrativa. Un repaso sin filtros a todo lo que rodeó su creación. 🔹 Análisis completo de Final Fantasy X-2 Un viaje detallado por su historia, estructura, secretos, múltiples finales y todo lo necesario para entender por qué sigue siendo un juego tan discutido… y tan interesante. Este programa está pensado para posicionarse como uno de los análisis más completos en español sobre Final Fantasy X-2, ideal tanto para fans que lo vivieron como para quienes quieren redescubrirlo con una nueva mirada.

Marty Friedman is a multi-platinum recording artist and government-appointed Ambassador to Japan Heritage. He has written three books in Japanese and had long running columns in the Asahi Weekly, Nikkei Entertainment, Cyzo, Big Comic, Young Guitar, Guitar World and Burrn. The show opens with a moving tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, formerly of Black Sabbath, who passed away on July 25, 2025. Friedman then turns to the reason for writing his book, co-authored with Jon Wiederhorn. He talks about the co-writing process and describes it as “putting his musical abilities into words.” His latest solo release, Drama, he calls his best and most romantic work to date — a largely orchestral album that stretches beyond his usual style. He also reflects on the Japanese entertainment industry, the uniquely Japanese idea of heta-uma, idol music, and the role of “cuteness” in J-Pop. Producers such as Tsunku and Komuro Tetsuya play a key role in drawing out this unique appeal. J-Pop carries deeper cultural nuance than outsiders might assume. In addition, Friedman reflects on scandals, music managers ,and his first rehearsal with a J-Pop band.

Five: A Farewell Song That Feels Like Home

A final song that feels like a sunrise. We dive into ARASHI's “Five” with full hearts, tracing the way bright production, tight harmonies, and lyrical nods to their history create a farewell that lifts instead of lingers in sorrow. From the first grin-to-tears listen to the wave of memories sparked by the MV's visual echoes, we map how one track can carry years of friendship, inside jokes, and stagecraft without leaning on cliché goodbye tropes.We also sit with the week's emotions around Ohno's announcement and what choosing freedom looks like after decades of service to fans. Rather than disappear, the group offered a ritual of closure: a new single, a dome tour, and room for everyone to say thank you. We love the return of longtime collaborators (Hikari and Tomoki Ishizuka), the smart 5:55 release flourishes, and the record-setting Oricon response that shows how powerful this community still is. Along the way, we talk authenticity—why Arashi's variety moments, kindness offstage, and consistent chemistry make nostalgia feel earned—and share fan reflections that capture the blend of joy and ache.If you're searching for context, catharsis, and the small details that make “Five” sparkle, this conversation is for you. We celebrate what was built together, look ahead to five bright individual paths, and hold space for all the feelings that come with a beautiful ending.

The lights go down, the bass hits, and we realize one screening won't be enough. We grab two nights of Stray Kids on the big screen, get our biases wrecked by Changbin's power and duality, and come away convinced: repetition doesn't dilute the moment, it deepens it. Between the close-up interviews, unit stages, and a set design that refuses to sit still, the film turns performance into a masterclass in craft and stamina.We start with something softer but equally charged: what a “final” wave of Arashi merch means when a group has soundtracked your life. Clear files, Uchiwa, and years of magazines aren't clutter; they're a living archive. That sparks a bigger idea—turn collections into a fan-led exhibit at a cafe or gallery, with donations supporting causes that align with the artists' values. Curation by the community, for the community.From there, we widen the lens. Trainee life and dorm pressure echo our own cramped roommate horror stories; proximity builds friction, but it also creates performance chemistry you can't fake. We look at how labels are stepping up legal action against malicious posts and how online “anonymous” doesn't hold in court. And when BTS's V has private messages surface as evidence without consent, we draw a line: public figures deserve boundaries, and consent still matters, even in headline season.We also track industry shifts that signal real change. BMSG moves toward a COO and a risk compliance office—proof that creativity scales best with structure. NUMBER_i taps WME for international growth, hinting at U.S. stages and maybe a tour circuit. And for KCON, we make the Boston case—great venues, easy transit, fans who show up—and map how regional stops can build lasting audiences beyond the usual LA and (once upon a time) NYC anchors.If you're here for fandom realities, tour talk, governance moves, and the thrill of getting your heart hijacked by a performance, you're in the right place. Hit play, feel the rush, and then tell us: which moment stole your breath, and where should the next tour stop land?

It is a privilege to welcome back my friend, Kenyth Mogan, to the Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.  The Glasgow, Montana, native, now a Los Angeles transplant, released his first full-length studio album, Star Stealer.  The collection paid tribute to some of his favorite singer-songwriters, including Belinda Carlisle (“Live Your Life Be Free”), Tiffany (“I Think We're Alone Now”), and several top artists from the 1980s and 1990s. Recently, Kenyth Mogan and the illustrator Umi Rage released My Super Fiancé. It is a genre-bending Boys Love drama that fuses superhero action with sizzling romance, mystery, and media intrigue. Set in the electrified sprawl of a futuristic metropolis known as Prism City, the story follows investigative journalist Trevor Prince and his fiancé Cole Carter—better known to the world as the vigilante superhero, MoonShadow. As love and danger collide, the two must navigate corrupt institutions, intergalactic conspiracies, and the fine line between truth and power. Told in twelve serialized episodes, each chapter is released with an original song crafted to amplify the themes, emotions, and tension of that episode—turning each release into a cinematic, multi-sensory experience. My Super Fiancé is equal parts superhero saga, queer love story, and social commentary—where power comes at a price, and passion pulls the trigger.On this edition of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Kenyth Mogan spoke about releasing his latest book, My Dead Boyfriend, the 20th anniversary of The Phoenix Chronicles, and what fans can expect from My Super Fiancé's soundtrack.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

Feel the floor shake from four very different directions as we dive into HANA's punchy Cold Night, i-dle's inclusive Mono, Ado's explosive Angel Seek, and XG's trance-laced HYPNOTIZE. We open with battle-tested fan lore—storms, stadium lines, and those one-gallon bag rules—then move straight into the music that makes all the hassle worth it. This set is women-led, genre-hopping, and unapologetically bold, stitching together punk pop grit, deep house nostalgia, and new metal chaos with one simple throughline: own who you are.Hana's Cold Night hits first, all raw guitar and chant-ready hooks that turn doubt into fuel. It's grittier than their usual polish and perfect as an anime opener, where repetition becomes a rallying cry. From there, i-dle's Mono softens the edges with a velvet bassline and English lyrics that strip labels away. The monophonic vocal design—one voice at a time—mirrors the message: show up as yourself and let the noise fall off. It's club music as a quiet manifesto, built for late nights and clear minds.Then the room tilts. Ado's Angel Seek ricochets through retro rock textures, scratchy vinyl patina, and new metal spikes, a restless sprint that refuses to color inside the lines. It's a masterclass in controlled chaos and pure catharsis. Finally, XG's HYPNOTIZE slides in with a slow burn that blossoms into 90s dance shimmer, camera-click percussion, and vocal handoffs so smooth they feel like sleight of hand. The lyrics say it outright—you're under—and the arrangement makes sure you don't want to leave.If you crave empowering anthems, club minimalism, or a full-on sonic roller coaster, this one's for you.

Big feelings, bigger news. We start with pure fandom delight—an anime-inspired artist makeover and a must-have lightstick—before moving through the nuts and bolts of smart show-going: merch game plans, pop-ups, post-show drops, and how a sold-out Boston date changes the strategy for lines, sizes, and travel.From there, we take on the heavier side of music culture. ONF parts ways with their agency but keeps their name, a hopeful template for groups who want autonomy without losing identity. We examine a label's public warning against malicious posts and why legal action matters when harassment escalates from critique to threats. The conversation tackles parasocial lines, airport etiquette, and the way clipped videos distort context. A behind-the-scenes series makes it painfully clear how online abuse hits artists and their families, pushing some off platforms completely. Our stance is simple: support who you love, verify what you read, and choose care over clout.It's not all storm clouds. We cheer ENHYPEN's Sunghoon joining the Olympic torch relay and applaud Hwasa's Good Goodbye sprinting past 100 million YouTube views. We also unpack the abrupt postponement of a major Hong Kong concert just a week out, what that means for ticket holders, artists, and vendors, and why transparency and legal recourse matter. Then we close on a personal high: OK Asia is now syndicated via Pacifica Network, expanding the mission to spotlight Asian music on more stations across the U.S.Join us for a ride that blends practical tips, current news, and a grounded reminder to keep fandom human.

Today, we welcome Greig Watts, a powerhouse in songwriting, publishing, and music development. Greig is one-third of the internationally successful songwriting and publishing team DWB, known for selling millions of units worldwide and for pioneering early breakthroughs in markets like Japan and South Korea long before the global rise of J-Pop and K-Pop.Greig's Website @greigwatts on Instagram Greig's Facebook page Greig's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/greigwatts/For songwriters who feel stuck, discouraged, or tired of rejection, his mission: help creators overcome setbacks, rediscover joy, and keep fighting for the dream that first sparked their love of music. Greig has captured decades of experience—and the heart of his creative philosophy—in his bestselling book, Keeping the Dream Alive. It's part memoir, part guide, and part rallying cry.He's overseen 16 Eurovision entries in 10 consecutive years, coached dozens of successful writers, spoken at industry conferences from Moscow to Taiwan to Amsterdam, served as a BBC Music Consultant, and mentored songwriters around the world.From Almost Quitting to International SuccessGreig, your book opens with a vulnerable story—by 2003 you almost walked away from music entirely. What helped you turn rejection into fuel instead of failure, and how did that turning point shape the book Keeping the Dream Alive?The Mindset of PersistenceYou say showing up matters more than talent. What does “showing up” actually look like for songwriters—and how can creatives overcome procrastination, self-doubt, and the belief that they're not good enough? What's the secret to finishing songs instead of endlessly rewriting them?Protecting Creativity While Treating Music as a BusinessYou're very honest that loving music isn't enough—you also have to monetize it to keep going. How can songwriters protect their creativity from burnout while still building a viable career in an intensely competitive industry?Finding Success in Unexpected PlacesYou and DWB broke into Japan and Korea long before most UK or US writers even knew those markets existed. You also helped make Eurovision songwriting camps what they are today. How has seeking out “the niche” shaped your creative and business success?Mentorship, Neurodiversity & Keeping the Dream AliveYou've launched courses supporting songwriters—including neurodiverse creatives—and you speak often about defending the underdog. How do you help writers identify their strengths, build a supportive team, and keep the dream alive even when people around them doubt them? Greig, for any songwriter listening who feels like their dream is slipping away—what's the one thing you want them to hear today?”Book link for listeners:https://www.amazon.co.uk/Keeping-Dream-Alive-Songwriters-Overcoming/dp/195725551XThanks to our sponsor, White Cloud Coffee—fueling creative conversations everywhere.
