Today we visit Middle Earth and discuss the score to "The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim" with Emmy award-winning Composer Stephen Gallagher and Grammy award-winning Producer/Engineer Mark Willsher. Their goal in this project was to “honour the narrative of the film by blending the beloved design and musical language of the original Lord of the Rings trilogy with ideas befitting Kamiyama-san's beautiful hand-drawn anime.” We discuss learning from and enjoying the differences between "The War of the Rohirrim" and the original live action LOTR trilogies in terms of workflow and creative style. We also cover thematic material, composition/mixing techniques and the value of having a trusted collaboration!

It's the penultimate Empire Podcast of the year, folks, and to celebrate the impending season of goodwill to all, we've brought you another bumper episode. Which is nice of us. Guest-wise, Chris Hewitt sits down once again with one of our favourite guests, Gerry 'Gerard' Butler, to talk about his decidedly un-Gerry Butler-like role as Santa himself in charming kids movie The Night Before Christmas In Wonderland, [17:52 - 32:42 approx] while Helen O'Hara chats The Lord Of The Rings: The War Of The Rohirrim with that film's director, Kenji Kamiyama, and producers Jason DeMarco and Joseph Chou, who also serves as Kamiyama's interpreter. [57:32 - 1:10:30 approx] That's an excerpt from the War Of The Rohirrim live event we did last week for our Empire VIP Club members, fact fans. And Helen also pops up again in the interviewer's chair to grill Jon M. Chu on how he directed Wicked, in a spoiler-free excerpt from our spoiler special, which is also out now. [1:34:32 - 1:43:57 approx] Either side of those, Chris is joined in the podbooth by Helen and James Dyer to tackle some Christmassy questions from the Empire Podcast subreddit, while they also discuss the week's movie news, including the 28 Years Later trailer and the rumoured demise of the SPUMC, and review The War Of The Rohirrim, Kraven The Hunter, Queer, and Carry-On. Oh, and Chris gets legitimately freaked out by the unexpected arrival of a sinister festive guest. Enjoy.
Our guest is Jerome Waag who is the former chef at the legendary farm-to-table restaurant Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California. Jerome moved to Tokyo in 2016 to open his own restaurant Blind Donkey. The restaurant has been popular and successful and in March 2024, Jerome has opened another place called CIMI Restorant with a strong focus on sustainability. He has been also involved in an inspiring project the Food Hub Project in a small town called Kamiyama in Shikoku Island, which aims to revitalize the local community. In this episode, we will discuss how Jerome opened his own restaurant in Japan, his unique experience of running a successful restaurant in Tokyo, his new restaurant CIMI restorant and its vision for sustainable food, his role in revitalizing the rural town Kamiyama, and much, much more!!!

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.09.19.508514v1?rss=1 Authors: Kamiyama, D., Nishida, Y., Kamiyama, R., Fitch, M. A., Chihara, T. Abstract: The formation of primary dendrites (dendritogenesis) significantly affects the overall orientation and coverage of dendritic arborization, limiting the number and types of inputs a neuron can receive. Previously we reported how a Drosophila motoneuron spatially controls the positioning of dendritogenesis through the Dscam1/Dock/Pak1 pathway; however, how the neuron defines the timing of this process remains elusive. Here we show that the Eph receptor tyrosine kinase provides a temporal cue. We find that, at the onset of dendritogenesis, the Eph receptor recruits the Rho Family GEF Vav to the intracellular domain of Eph, which transiently activates the Cdc42 family of small GTPase. We also show that vap33 (vesicle-associated membrane protein-associated protein) mutants exhibit defects in Cdc42 activation and dendritic outgrowth, indicating Vap33 may play an upstream role in Eph signaling. Together, our result and previous studies argue that the formation of primary dendrites requires the proximity of active Cdc42 and membrane-anchored Pak1 driven by collaborative action between two distinct signaling complexes, Vap33/Eph/Vav and Dscam1/Dock. Signal integration from multiple input pathways would represent a general mechanism for the spatiotemporal precision of dendrite branch formation. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Episode Notes Connor and Niamh can't remember the name of a song that's stuck in their heads, so they try to distract themselves by discussing episodes 1 through 13 of the first season of Sakigake!! Cromartie High School. We start out with the first and really only bit of theory bullshit by talking about the yakuza and yankii genre convention of the giri-ninjo conflict and how it relates to the comedy of Cro High, which we then use to launch into how much Cro High actually operates as a genre parody vs. absurdism, Kamiyama as a protagonist, the process of adaptation from manga to anime, the character of Yamaguchi as the comedian who tries to metatextually analyze the comedy of the show in which he himself is a character, the all-encompassing scope of the comedy of the show, the show within a show that is Pootan, the way Cro High continues to develop expectations in order to subvert them, and more. Niamh also has an (at this point no longer secret) announcement that faer comedy video art series Today's Garfield Read Aloud has returned as a Twitter account, @GarfReadAloud.

To meet today’s challenges in supply chain spend management, we must embrace automation. Gone are the days of being able to throw bodies at a problem. Systemic inefficiency not only creates unsustainable processes, it creates enormous waste and revenue risk. Now is the time for procurement to lead through change. Procurement teams are uniquely positioned to lead supply chain resilience initiatives. That’s because procurement brings together the right suppliers, products, and materials needed to fulfill customer demand. In this podcast based on an AOP Live session, Tom Kieley, CEO and Co-Founder of SourceDay, and Go Kamiyama, Senior Manager of Strategic Initiatives from NetSuite, answer audience questions about: How we can better understand supply chain-related spend management challenges What resilience and responsiveness to demand signals look like in practice, and how procurement can incorporate them in their existing processes and frameworks Opportunities for procurement to embrace automation for the purpose of increasing supply chain visibility and resilience
O Brasil já soma 24 milhões de mulheres empreendendo, segundo dados do Sebrae. Boa parte delas abrem seus próprios negócios, vale dizer, por necessidade, seja para superar o desemprego, aumentar a renda ou até mesmo conseguir sair de um relacionamento abusivo e conquistar a independência financeira. Em tempos de pandemia muitas mulheres estão se descobrindo ou redescobrindo e estão abrindo o próprio negócio. Quem comenta sobre o empreendedorismo feminino na crise do novo coronavírus é a superintendente do Conselho Empresarial Feminino (Consef) da Associação Comercial de Mogi das Cruzes (ACMC), a empresária Nair Kamiyama.
An average student named Kamiyama enrolls at the infamous Cromartie High School - a rowdy school with a reputation for its delinquent students. With the help of his new friend with a purple mohawk, Kamiyama must adapt to life at this school full of unusual characters including a gorilla, a robot, and a strangely familiar singer.Thanks to Sithu Aye for letting us use his music for the intro/outro of our show!

Þeir þurfa að greiða fullt verð því ráðuneytið hafnaði í síðustu viku beiðni Sjúkratrygginga um að gera við hann samning. Þórdís Arnljótsdóttir ræddi við Önnu Björnsdóttur. Varahéraðssaksóknari segir að Val Lýðssyni, sem ákærður er fyrir að hafa orðið Ragnari bróður sínum að bana að Gýgjarhóli II um páskana, hafi ekki getað dulist að árásin á Ragnar gæti leitt hann til dauða. Hún krefst sextán ára fangelsis yfir Val. Stuðningur við ríkisstjórnina er nær hinn sami og hann var í síðasta þjóðarpúlsi Gallups. Rétt innan við helmingur svarenda segist styðja hana.

Verkamannaflokkurinn glímir við ásakanir um kynþáttahatur og and-gyðinglega afstöðu. Í Íhaldsflokknum eru það stríðandi Brexit-fylkingar. Theresa May forsætisráðherra situr fast við sinn Brexit-keip en virðist eiga fáa formælendur. Sigrún Davíðsdóttir sagði frá. Það getur verið lamandi að horfa á tölur um fólksfækkun, segir íbúi á Þingeyri, og vissulega ekki skapandi. Um helgina fór fram málþing á Þingeyri.

This week we discuss the first 6 episodes of Cromartie High School. Synopsis: Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? The only thing for certain is that for Kamiyama, Cromartie High School is his reality. And what a surreal reality it is. Because this is where the toughest, meanest (and, often dumbest) students are sent to do time. At Cromartie, purple-mohawked bruisers and pencil-chomping street thugs are just part of everyday life. And so is a 400-pound gorilla. You can watch the music video we discuss here. You can stream Cromartie High School on Crunchyroll or VRV.
by Muhammad Emillio Daniel Effendy Napping Princess: Awake but ConfusingLast weekend, a limited showing of Napping Princess (2017) took place as part of The Picture Show Family and Children’s series that is curated by FilmScene and proudly presented by MidWestOne Bank. I attended on a Saturday alongside a small crowd of children accompanied with their parents.The film opens by throwing the audience into a fantastical world right away. Simplified cyberpunk architecture is juxtaposed by the bright colors meant to appeal to children. A monarchy imbedded deep in a religion in which crosses around the neck are replaced with a lock without a key pose an unknown looming threat. An odd choice to include in an anime movie targeted for younger children. A little girl named Ancien (Brina Palencia) jumps across blocks of extended metal arms surrounding a large tall building. She’s said to be a magical princess, a supposedly leftover element of the mahou shoujo genre that caters to young preschool girls in Japan. Most of Ancien and her world’s backstory is revealed through her own narration in a sort of children’s book style. At this point, I expected the entire film to be made for children and as such, adjusted my expectations on what I’d be watching. That may have not been a good idea however as we’ll get to later. Visual treats can be seen in every scene but the shots don’t linger and move along to match the speed of which the characters drive through the story. The film is a mix of many elements that can be considered cliché within the world of Japanese animation and often feels familiar to audiences who are generally aware of those clichés. Giant autonomous robots, giant man-piloted robots, giant monsters (Kaiju), magic, advanced technology and an insistence not to stick to a conventional three-act structure narrative. However, one can be easily inclined to say that Napping Princess includes far too many elements of anime clichés to make its’ own unique mark despite being visually impressive. Reader note; I did watch this film in its English dub.The film tells its story through the eyes of Morikawa Kokone (Brina Palencia) who is a Japanese high-school girl in her third-year and takes place in the year 2020. Whenever Kokone falls asleep, she dreams of another world called the Heartland, an eerily totalitarian society where cars are their main produce. The film spends most of its time constantly alternating back-and-forth between the two worlds, one that Kokone inhabits and the other that she dreams of. The transitions between scenes in the dream-world and that set in near-future Japan are incredibly seamless and don’t rely on cheap-tricks like film-grain or color correction to notify the audience of the change. A strong visual aesthetic that can be easily identified within the architecture and costume design of the world in the dream-realm easily set the worlds apart. However, despite the smooth as butter transitions between these two worlds, the narrative somehow still manages to suffer as audiences are left confused as to the true nature of the dream-world. A word of warning, don’t expect to come away from this film with answers to what that dream-world actually is within the logic the film itself tried to build; there are no such answers given.Whilst its narrative suffers greatly under the weight of far too many elements mashed together, the film still manages to be visually appealing. The first thing I took note of is that despite its’ science-fantasy backdrop, the anime does not regress to the design shorthand of giving characters vibrant unnatural hair colors in order to make them stand apart from background characters. This is in part achieved through its art direction that mitigates the use of same-face syndrome, a reoccurring visual problem with some Japanese anime. Characters are easily visually identifiable from each other thanks to a cast that mixes various age groups and body sizes instead of making every seventeen year old high-school girl look like she’s thirty.Having been written & directed by Kenji Kamiyama, it definitely takes on his signature markings that that would be familiar if you had watched Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society (2006), Blood: The Last Vampire (2000) or any of his other anime films. Yet most of his films have notably been made for a more mature adult audience, and the decision to make a film intended for a younger audience with a notable lack of violence does not translate well at all. There are often convoluted storylines and plot-points Kamiyama has chosen not to linger on and explain for the audience. In a film intended for an older audience, I would have likely accepted this, but for a story that seems to want to both cater to a younger and older audience, it does run into plenty of narrative problems that leave the audience confused. A seven-year-old sitting in the cinema near me was visibly distressed at his inability to comprehend the film. And I understand his distress. As mentioned earlier, going into this film expecting a film made purely for children is a mistake. It feels like the film is split between who its’ target market should actually be. It’s dream-land scenes often felt like they cater to children and its’ real-world Japan scenes broach darker and more adult-oriented matters yet shying away from them. A scene discussing the death of Kokone’s mother gets close to discussing some very personally held beliefs within Japanese culture regarding how they treat they’re dead loved ones and pay respect to them. However, the scene pulls away as soon as it starts to cross the line of not being family-friendly.The English dub works well for the most part, but loses its mark on some jokes that can only be understood to Japanese speakers. Textual aspects of the film such as signboards and text messages on a phone or tablet are never translated and this often leads to plenty more confusions for Western viewers. Perhaps studios need to take a page from online fan-sub communities and insert contextual subs for audiences to better grasps certain things on-screen. A scene explaining why the written characters for Kokone’s name matters went unexplained and even for fans of Japanese animation, the significance of that scene can be lost without understanding the language deeply. This is especially problematic given how her name does act as a pseudo plot-device.The film seems to not know whether it wants to accept its’ own preset logic throughout the majority of the film and there are three points in the film in which it outright contradicts its’ established logic regarding the nature of the dream-world. This could be just a problem of being lost in translation when localizing to an English dub. But it seems too glaring an issue to merely be that.As a final world, the film is overall beaming with potential to be better than it had intended to be but it’s insistence on being catered for a younger audience got in the way of itself. If you want to leave the cinema with at least some resolution, don’t forget to stay for the credits, some things definitely become clearer in the scenes shown there, though they’re still about as helpful as Marvel’s post-credit scenes in trying to understand what’s happening.
Prepare yourself for an epic adventure in the tradition of “The Arabian Nights”. Douglas Fairbanks, Snitz Edwards, Charles Belcher, Julanne Johnston, Sôjin Kamiyama and Anna May Wong star in this wonderful story written by Douglas Fairbanks and directed by Raoul Walsh. The story of a simple thief in Bagdad and his quest for meaning and redemption in the name of love for the city’s Princess. He must undergo mythic trials and conquer his fear and desires to deliver the city from the hands of the evil Mongol Prince. Full of majesty and magic, this film stands the test of time and appears to predate by a decade other movies in terms of scope and effects. A truly special film that everyone should take the time to watch. Seriously, it’s two and a half hours long so you may need an intermission somewhere in the middle!

Manga Review for Cromartie High School Volume 12 by Eiji Nonaka. Translated by Javier Lopez. Originally published in Japan by Kodansha in 2005. Published in the US by ADV Manga, $10.95, Rated 13+. When you read Cromartie High School, you can expect some universe shattering questions to pop up periodically on the nature of life and happiness. In Volume 12, one of the questions is the origin of the "Mawashi", the only garment of clothing that sumo wrestlers are allowed to wear in competition. The Gene Simmons lookalike of the Four Great Ones has his own ideas about it when one of his members joins the Cromartie Sumo Club along with Masked Takenouchi and Kamiyama. But are the guys confident enough to show up everyday practically naked except for the Mawashi that covers their privates? As they learn the ins and outs of sumo training, the new members are shocked to learn that they have been entered into a competition against the sumo club of their hated rivals Bass High School! Meanwhile, Maeda learns about the fun of cellphone emailing as Hayashida begins mailing him weird and cryptic pictures of what appear to be random and meaningless objects. With my experience after reading 12 volumes of Cromartie High School, I have realized that it is at its funniest the more episodic it is. When Nonaka dwells on one particular schtick most of the volume, much like the whole adventure in the Planet of the Apes world a volume back, the comedy is dragged down. What makes the good volumes good is Nonaka's ability to write short chapters that focus on one joke which is left behind at the end of that chapter. When I first started reading this series, I was laughing my butt off. Now I'm lucky if I get TWO laughs from the whole volume. While it can still be amusing at times, this series is way past its prime. This could be reversed if Nonaka would focus on short and easily forgettable chapters instead of trying to make overarching story arcs. The characters too have suffered as Cromartie has dragged on. At first, they each had very distinct personalities, but over time, they have ended up all talking and thinking the same, and instead of being characters, have simply become gimmicks that Nonaka uses to convey intellectual jokes that amuse mostly just him. There's always hope with each volume that Cromartie can return to its roots but I'm losing interest in this manga. My Grade: C+
