「鹿島OB・元日本代表監督ジーコが心配される!「Kashimaという名前で…」イオンモール熊本ある嘉島町に言及」 鹿島アントラーズOB、元日本代表監督のジーコ氏が、熊本地震に言及。母国のサッカーファン等に向けて無事であることを報告したほか、爆発が起こったイオンモール熊本のある嘉島町にも触れている。 同氏は29日までにインスタグラムを更新。「こんにちは、皆さん! 少しでも皆さんに安心してもらえればと思って動画を撮っています。まずは何よりも、ご心配いただき本当にありがとうございます」と報告している。 ジーコ氏は母国で多くの人々から心配された理由について、地震の被災地となった町の名前が、自身のキャリアとゆかりのある別の場所と同じ名称だったためだと説明。嘉島、鹿島ともに英語で「Kashima」と表記されるだけに、こう説明している。 「被害を受けた町も『Kashima』という名前で…。その『Kashima』は日本の南側にあります。日本はたくさんの島で構成されていますよね。九州の熊本県にある町で、地震が起きたのはその地域です」 「私たちは家族とともに北海道にいます。被災地とはかなり離れています。ここ北海道のクラブメッド・キロロで『ジーコ10サッカースクール』を行っていますが、無事です」 その上で、ジーコ氏は「今回起きた出来事を本当に残念に思っています。日本はこうした災害への備えがしっかりしている国なので、きっとすぐに復旧するでしょう。被害に遭われた多くの方々のことを心からお見舞い申し上げます」と哀悼の意を表している。

We kick off our previews of the new J1 season with seven clubs, and Seamus Johnston joined Jonny and Ben to chat about the first cab off the rank, 2025 runners-up Kashiwa (to 30:57). Then, with a ten minute time limit per club experiment in place, we stay in Kanto, and run the rule over defending champions Kashima (to 41:15) and their promoted Ibaraki chums Mito (to 50:55), before we switch our attentions to Machida (to 1:00:45) and the two remaining Kanagawa clubs - Kawasaki (to 1:09:15) and Yokohama F.Marinos (to 1:18:20) - rounding things off with a trip down the Tokaido Line and into Shizuoka to preview Shimizu.
Jonny and Ben review the J1 playoff 2nd legs on this episode, beginning with Kashima's home win that was merely window dressing as Kobe claimed the CEJLC title with a 5-2 aggregate win (to 35:50). Then we select our Best XI from the east across the league phase, and finish the pod with a brief look ahead to Japan's World Cup opener against the Netherlands. #We are aware of a couple of audio issues during the episode, most notably around the 42:20 mark, where Jonny's selection of Alex Scholz for one of the centre back spots in our Best XI mysteriously disappeared from the audio file, the audio picks up with Ben agreeing with Jonny's selection.#

Jonny and Ben kick off this episode by reveling in Gamba Osaka's tremendous victory in the ACL2 final (to 15:45), then Jonny runs through the weekend's J1 west results, with top spot set to be decided in the final round (to 28:15). Next, Ben takes the reins for the east slate, after Kashima clinched top spot with a game to spare (to 39:10). Finally, we were joined by Urawa correspondent Ralf Seidl to discuss the end of Maciej Skorza's reign, the improvement under interim boss Tatsuya Tanaka, and the impending appointment of Cho Kwi Jae as the new permanent Reds manager.
On this mini pod, Jonny kicks us off with all the midweek goings-on in the west, after Nagoya went top on goals scored ahead of Kobe (to 12:07), before Ben runs through the results in the east, with the title all but in Kashima's hands now. Check us out next week on J-Talk Takeover Week, as Jonny and Ben moonlight on JTET, and Jon and James take the reins on Big Pod!
With Gamba Golden Week in full swing, Jonny and Ben round up all of the action from the past two top flight matchdays, beginning in the east, where Kashima hold a two point lead over FC Tokyo with four games to play (to 23:40), then shifting west, where Kobe's once vice-like grip on top spot is now hanging by a thread after they were crushed by Gamba Osaka on Saturday. We'll be back later in the week with a review of Matchday 15, so keep your eyes peeled for that pod!
The Traka se ha convertido en el evento capital del gravel a nivel europeo. Por eso se hace obligado comentar algunas de las novedades, prototipos y curiosidades que se han visto en la última edición, celebrada el pasado fin de semana. Hablamos también de la última actualización aplicada a los motores CX y CX-R de Bosch, y que eleva su par hasta los 120 Nm y el 600% de apoyo a la pedalada, además de repasar algunas de las bicicletas que ya incorporan esta actualización como la Canyon Strive:On, la Mondraker Crafty Unlimited Icon o la gama iLynx+ NX de BH. En el mundo del MTB 'convencional', la primera prueba de la Copa del Mundo de XC nos ha traído la victoria de la recién presentada S-Works Epic 9 con Sina Frei, además de la presentación 'oficial' de la nueva Canyon Lux World Cup CFR. Y terminamos comentando novedades como la llegada al mercado de los discos Galfer SharkEVO con acabado Kashima o la nueva 'gravel race' de la marca barcelonesa Guava, bautizada como ACE. Este episodio ha sido posible gracias al apoyo de Mahle y su sistema de asistencia M40. Un sistema compacto y ligero pensado para quienes buscan una asistencia natural pero con tecnología muy avanzada. Entre sus novedades destaca Auto Hold, una función que mantiene la bici estable en pendientes cuando te detienes, algo especialmente útil en rutas técnicas o al arrancar en subida. Y también Dynamic Overrun, que mantiene la asistencia durante un instante después de dejar de pedalear, ayudando a superar obstáculos o zonas técnicas con más fluidez.

Kashima claimed a record-extending ninth top flight title in Saturday's final round, and in Part 1 of this episode Jonny and Ben run through the key events in both games that mattered, as a Leo Ceara-inspired Antlers held off a gallant Kashiwa side to win the league by a point (to 25:50). Then in Part 2, Reysol correspondent Seamus Johnston - armed with a killer stat - returned to the pod to celebrate his side's remarkable rise up the table and hand out Reysol's Player of the Year award (to 56:43), before your co-hosts rounded up the other games from Matchday 38.
This week's bumper episode features a star turn from Ryo Nakagawara, who joins Jonny and Ben to review the crunch games involving the top two in J1 Matchday 37 (to 28:45), and preview the final day matchups between Kashima & Yokohama F.Marinos, and Kashiwa & Machida (to 48:50), before we stick our necks out and make predictions on the destination of the title (to 55:42). Then in Part 2 Jonny and Ben scoot through the other eight games from Sunday (to 1:16:30), and hand out five more Player of the Season awards.
We finally had some clarity at both ends of the table in J1 Matchday 36, as the title race is down to just two teams, and at the bottom, Yokohama FC's relegation to J2 was confirmed. In Part 1 of this episode, Kyoto correspondent Jamie Meikle guests to help us celebrate Sanga's remarkable season, even though their title hopes ended on Sunday at home against Yokohama F.Marinos. We ask Jamie about Kyoto's 2025 Player of the Year, the future of Manager Cho Kwi Jae, and where the club can strengthen in the offseason (to 28:27). Then in Part 2 Jonny and Ben round up the wins for Kashima and Kashiwa that left them as the last two teams standing in title contention, and work their way through the rest of the games, before finishing with a check on the national team squad and a look ahead to the Emperor's Cup semi finals.
As the top flight enters the final stretch, things tightened at the top in Matchday 35, but two dogfighters saw their fates sealed in a dramatic round of games. Jonny and Ben begin the pod with an ACL review, then cover the games involving the title chasers, including Kashima's stunning late equalizer at Kyoto, Kashiwa's win over Yokohama FC, and Kobe's late collapse at already relegated Niigata (to 28:28). Then in Part 2, Yokohama F.Marinos correspondent Stuart Woodward joins us again after his side's 3-0 home win over Hiroshima took them to the brink of securing safety, while we also discussed Shonan's relegation (to 58:58). And finally, Jonny and Ben round up the other five games, and look ahead to the Levain Cup final on Saturday.
J1 returned with a bang after the international break, and in Part 1 of this new episode Jonny and Ben were joined by Kashiwa correspondent Seamus Johnston to chat about a fascinating set of results for the title chasers - Kobe and leaders Kashima drawing on Friday night, before Seamus's Reysol demolished Gamba (sorry Jonny) on Saturday and Kyoto gutted out a dramatic late point with ten men on Sunday (to 37:40). Then in Part 2 Jonny and Ben round up the relegation dogfight, which, as we long suspected, is now a straight shootout for survival between the two Yokohama clubs, then the other games before a look ahead to midweek and weekend action.
Japan made history with a stunning 3-2 win over Brazil on Tuesday night, and Ryo Nakagawara joined Jonny and Ben for a deep dive on the game, the standout performers, and what the result means for the Samurai Blue going forward (to the hour mark), before we briefly looked back at the draw against Paraguay, and Ryo and Jonny ran through their lists of which players Hajime Moriyasu already has on the plane to the 2026 World Cup (to 1:29:45). Next we returned to domestic matters by rounding up the Levain Cup semi finals, and looked ahead to who has the edge in the final between Hiroshima and Kashiwa, before finishing the episode with a look at the run-in in the top flight: Can any of the three teams on 60 points overhaul Kashima? And which of the Yokohama clubs will survive? Follow Ryo on Bluesky and/or X/Twitter, and check out his work on his Shogun Soccer newsletter.
J1 Matchday 33 was chock full of drama, and after a brief review of the ACL action from last midweek, Jonny and Ben run through the weekend's games involving the title contenders in Part 1, culminating with the huge Kashima vs Gamba Osaka game on Sunday (to 43:10). Then in Part 2 our Tokyo Verdy correspondent Lewis White returns to the pod to chat about Verdy's vital win on Friday night, the season so far, and the future of manager Hiroshi Jofuku (to 1:03:12), before Jonny and Ben round up the other games, look ahead to the Levain Cup semi finals and Japan's games against Paraguay and Brazil.
Jonny and Ben kick off the episode with a review of ACL action from last midweek (to 9:00), before diving in on the eight games played from J1 Matchday 30 on Saturday night, as Kashima moved back to the summit after Kyoto slipped at home. We rule a couple of big fish out of the title race, before moving on to all of the action in the dogfight (to 1:06:00). We then wrap up the pod with a look ahead to the next two rounds, played on Tuesday night and the weekend.
En este capítulo de Vestigios de la Historia, exploramos a Namazu, el pez gato que sacude la Tierra. Hoy nos sumergimos en una de las leyendas más enigmáticas del folclore japonés, una historia donde la naturaleza misma se convierte en fuerza sobrenatural. Namazu, una criatura gigantesca que habita bajo el archipiélago nipón, es temida por su capacidad de provocar terremotos cuando escapa del control de los dioses. En este relato ancestral, no hay samuráis ni espadas, sino un delicado equilibrio entre orden y caos, custodiado por el dios Kashima.A través de imágenes potentes y simbolismo cargado de significado, abordamos temas como la fragilidad humana ante las fuerzas naturales, la culpa, la purificación y el eterno intento del ser humano por dar sentido al desastre. Vestigios de la Historia nos lleva esta vez a las profundidades del mito para recordarnos que incluso los temblores más destructivos pueden encerrar mensajes de sabiduría y renovación.
Kyoto and Kashima lead the way at the top of J1 after the weekend's Matchday 27, and after rounding up their very contrasting results (to 16:30), Jonny and Ben are joined by Kashiwa correspondent Seamus Johnston to chat about Reysol's brilliant come from behind home win over Urawa on Friday night and other talking points around the club (to 39:50). Then Jonny and Ben run through the other results from the weekend, before looking ahead to midweek Emperor's Cup quarter finals and Thursday's national team squad announcement.
After another terrific J1 matchday, Stuart Woodward joined Jonny and Ben in Part 1 to chat about Yokohama F.Marinos' away win in the Yokohama derby on Saturday night, as well as the pre-match kerfuffle that led to the away supporters missing most of the first half at Mitsuzawa, and other goings-on at F.Marinos, including Anderson Lopes' departure, and new coach Hideo Oshima (to 28:15). Then in Part 2 Jonny and Ben review the other eight games from Saturday night, including Kashima's third straight loss that saw them tumble from the summit, new leaders Kashiwa taking over at the top with a win over FC Tokyo, and Kobe roaring up to second after two wins in four days.
Sam Robson made a triumphant return to the pod, to help Jonny and Ben run through all nine games played over the weekend in J1 Matchday 21. After a quick look back at the Emperor's Cup and Urawa's first two games at the Club World Cup, we kick off our top flight review with Machida's home win over leaders Kashima, and the instant classic between Kashiwa and Kyoto at Hitachidai that finished 3-3. From there we move on to Hiroshima and Kobe, who surged into the top four with away wins, and then work our way through the other five games, chatting about the managerial changes at Niigata and Yokohama F.Marinos along the way.

Stuart Woodward returned to the pod to chat about his appearance on the Jリーグと私 You Tube series (link is for the You Tube playlist, Stuart's episode isn't up yet), and Yokohama F.Marinos making it two straight wins in the wet at Machida on Saturday (to 34:10). Then in Part 2 Jonny and Ben round up the other nine games, as Kashima kicked six points clear at the top of the table as we reached the halfway point of the season.
Dan Orlowitz joined Jonny and Ben in Part 1 of our new episode to chat about his new piece in The Guardian, Hajime Moriyasu's experimental national team squad, and Hiroshima's comfortable win over FC Tokyo at the National Stadium on Sunday. Then in an elongated Part 2 Jonny and Ben run through the other games from J1 Matchday 18, including Yokohama F.Marinos ripping up the form book with a fine home win over leaders Kashima, as the bottom three at the start of the matchday had a weekend to remember.
There were certainly many talking points from the weekend's top flight round, and we begin this episode with some positivity from Jon Steele after Yokohama FC moved out of the drop zone with an away win over Shonan on Saturday, as the sky blues continue to make a decent fist of their return to J1 (to 21:00). Then in Part 2 Jonny and Ben continue their roundup of Matchday 17, beginning with Kashima extending their advantage at the top of the table after they downed Shimizu, and Kashiwa lost at Machida. Next up is Kyoto, who piled on the misery for bottom club Yokohama F.Marinos with a fine away win, before we move on to events at Saitama Stadium, where Urawa claimed a controversy-laced home win over FC Tokyo (Ben's rant alert). Following that we review all of the other games, before finishing with a look ahead to midweek and weekend action.
Jonny and Ben flip the script and go from bottom to top on this week's episode, running through (almost) all positive results for the bottom six at the start of the matchday in Part 1 (to 45:45), before Neil Debnam joins the pod to chat about Kawasaki's ACL Elite adventure, and their defeat on Sunday at the hands of Kashima (to 1:13:08). Finally, your co-hosts round up the final two games, before previewing J1 Matchday 17.
Jonny and Ben wrap up Golden Week with a look back at the midweek action from J1 Matchday 15. We begin with 1-0 wins for Kashima and Kashiwa on Tuesday, then move on to Wednesday night's action - Kyoto's dramatic late victory at Machida, and Hiroshima squeaking past Shonan - before reviewing the other games from Tuesday, including excellent wins for both Osaka clubs.
Jonny and Ben return with a midweek special, to round up the eight games played from J1 Matchday 13 on Tuesday. After beginning the episode with a quick look back at Kawasaki's ACL Elite quarter final win (Spoiler Alert: They won their semi final, too!), we begin our J1 wrap with the game Jonny was at: Gamba Osaka's win over incumbent leaders Kyoto (to 14:45). Then we move on to Kashima going top, and Kashiwa second, with away wins (to 23:10), Shimizu and Machida both moving up after also winning on the road (to 30:50), Tokyo Verdy's second straight win, and Hiroshima Crisis Watch after their home defeat at the hands of Niigata, plus the only draw between Shonan and Fukuoka.
Jonny and Ben round up two full rounds of J1 fixtures, with a focus on the weekend's Matchday 9, in our new episode. We begin with the new frontrunner for game of the season - Kyoto's remarkable away win over Kashima on Sunday - before discussing the hard fought draw between Machida and Kawasaki, and the rest of an eventful Sunday chock full of tremendous goals.
J1 returned after the international break over the weekend, and Daniel Hawkins joined Jonny and Ben to chat about goings-on at Avispa Fukuoka. After a brief review of Japan 0-0 Saudi Arabia, and our review of Kashima's hard-fought win over Kobe (to 9:07), Daniel hopped on board to discuss Avispa's draw with Machida on Saturday, how the club's new signings have settled in, and more (to 29:42).

We begin with the games involving the top three - new leaders Kashiwa, who climbed to the summit with a win away at Urawa, then Shonan's draw at Yokohama F.Marinos and Hiroshima's narrow win at home over Yokohama FC - before moving on to Kashima's win over FC Tokyo, and the battle between promoted sides Okayama and Shimizu, then away wins for Machida, Gamba Osaka and Fukuoka (their first of the season), before wrapping up Part 1 with the draw between Niigata and Cerezo Osaka (to 1:03:35). Then Neil joins us to discuss Kawasaki's 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Kyoto - Sanga's first win of the year - and Frontale's prospects in the ACL Elite Round of 16 against Shanghai Shenhua, before we wrap up the episode with a look at the fixtures in J1 Matchday 5.

In this special bonus episode of Genre Exposure, continuing our tradition of having an extra episode drop on Halloween, Dustin cracks open the J-Horror Journal one last time this month to share with you three of his favorite urban legends from Japan and discuss some of the many films that have spawned from them. From a bathroom haunting ghost to a gorgeous lady with a smile to die for and finally a ritual far more elaborate than Bloody Mary and way too scary to attempt. You can expect a cavalcade of low budget horror flicks to follow in their wake as well. But before all that, we commissioned some new art for the podcast to give the J-Horror Journal its own fitting logo. All that and more! From all of us here at the podcast, Happy Halloween!

J1 returned with a bang after the international break, and on our new episode Jonny and Ben round up all the action from a drama-filled weekend. We begin at the top with the pulsating draw between Kashima and Hiroshima on Saturday night, a result that allowed Machida to return to the summit after they claimed a terrific away win over Fukuoka, with Kobe keeping pace after cruising past Cerezo Osaka on Friday night, though Gamba Osaka's title hopes were dealt a major blow as Maciej Skorza returned to the Urawa dugout and led Reds to a win at the Suita City Stadium (to 40:10). Next we shift our attention to the relegation dogfight, with Kyoto continuing their excellent recent form to maintain their gap above the bottom three, though Tosu and Sapporo both lost, to further dent their faint hopes of survival. Iwata stunned Kashiwa to move within a point of safety behind Shonan, who were never at the races in their loss at Niigata. We finish our Matchday 30 roundup at the National stadium (to 1:20:10), then wrap up the episode with a look at upcoming ACL and domestic fixtures, including an intriguing-looking J1 Matchday 31. You can get tickets for our live show as part of the Yokohama Football Film Festival here, we'd love to see you there on October 12th!
Jonny and Ben had the pleasure of welcoming Ralf Seidl back to the pod for an in-depth chat about Urawa Reds, who drew away at rivals Kashima on Saturday, and have lost several key players in this summer transfer window (to 24:20). In Part 2 Jonny and Ben round up the results for rest of the top five (to 42:22), then in Part 3 we review a bonkers matchday for our relegation dogfighters (to 58:33), wrap up the rest of the round, and look ahead to upcoming Emperor's Cup and J1 fixtures. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to get your tickets for our live show as part of the Yokohama Football Film Festival.
The J1 season resumed last midweek, and in our new episode Jonny and Ben round up all of the action from the last two matchdays, including wobbles for the top two Machida and Kashima (to 17:20), and Hiroshima's surge up to third, which saw them overtake Gamba Osaka and Kobe (to 43:45). Then in Part 2 we focus on the relegation dogfight beginning with Shonan and Iwata, before wrapping up the episode with a look at the totally stacked Matchday 27 slate.

Sean Carroll returns to the pod as we review the past two top flight matchdays (with a focus on the weekend's Matchday 21), and then piece together the Team of the (Half) Season. In Part 1 we review Machida's massive win at Gamba Osaka and Kobe seeing off Kashima in the other battle between top four teams (to 24:00), then chat about the good recent runs Cerezo Osaka and Fukuoka are enjoying (to 35:15), before discussing Hiroshima, and where they might improve after a couple more frustrating draws (to 41:30). Then in Part 2 its Team of the (Half) Season time (to 1:28:00), before we run through the other five games from the weekend, the changes in personnel at Urawa, what's going wrong at F.Marinos, and the Relegation Dogfight.
