This week we're going to talk about Manami Matsumae.

Japan says it has retracted a ban on new incoming international flight bookings to defend against the new variant of the coronavirus only a day after the policy was announced, following criticisms that it was an overreaction.The transport ministry on Wednesday issued a request to international airlines to stop taking new reservations for flights coming into Japan until the end of December as an emergency precaution to defend against the new omicron variant.The ministry said Thursday it has retracted the request after receiving criticisms that the ban was too strict and tantamount to abandoning its own people.Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said the quick reversal of the policy took into consideration Japanese nationals' traveling needs. Kishida has been pushing to take strong precautionary measures after his predecessor Yoshihide Suga virtually lost his leadership position amid public criticism that his virus measures were too limited and too slow.“I have instructed the transport ministry to fully pay attention to the needs of Japanese citizens to return home,” Kishida said.The request had aimed to reduce Japan's daily international arrivals to 3,500 from an earlier level of 5,000 to tighten border controls as the new variant spread around the world, officials said.“The request, issued as an emergency precaution, triggered confusion,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told reporters Thursday. He said the transport ministry has retracted the request for a uniformed stoppage on new bookings.But a limit remains in place because the daily cap of 3,500 arrivals is being maintained. New bookings can be made as long as there is room under this cap, said transport ministry official Hitoshi Inoue.Japan has already banned entry of foreign nationals from around the world, except for spouses of Japanese nationals, those with permanent residency permits and others subject to special considerations.Japan has reported two cases of the omicron variant, which was first reported in South Africa last week.Japan had been easing social and economic restrictions after infections rapidly slowed since September.The booking ban request was a disappointment for many people who were planning trips during the holiday season, including Japanese citizens living overseas hoping to return home for the New Year period.Many on social media criticized the measure as too strict, and one user compared it to Japan's feudal-era national isolation policy.Much remains unknown about the new variant, including whether it is more contagious, as some health authorities suspect, whether it makes people more seriously ill, and whether it can thwart the vaccine.- by Mari Yamaguchi, Associated Press

This is an experiment. What you have here is ninety minutes of 16-bit forest music, drawn from all four forest episodes of Singing Mountain, only slowed down, pitched down, muted and muffled in various ways and played over the sound of some royalty-free rain noise I found on YouTube. I initially made this for Patreon, and a few people noted how much they liked it, so I thought I'd put it on the main feed in case any of you needed some extra tranquility in your life. This is a slightly different mix tham what went on Patreon initially. Do what you will with it.   Track listing: 0:11 Elven Town ~ Water Goddess Mitula / Shining Force II (Sega Genesis) / Motoaki Takenouchi 7:19 Secret of the Forest / Chrono Trigger (Super NES) / Yasunori Mitsua 12:24 The Phantom Forest / Final Fantasy VII (Super Nintendo) / Nobuo Uematsu 15:52 Forest Interlude / Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (Super NES) / David Wise 19:05 Treant Forest / Tales of Phantasia (Super Famicom) / Motoi Sakuraba  22:22 Silent Forest of Doubt / Arcana (Super NES) / Jun Ishikawa and Hirokazu Ando Temple 25:22 Forest of Spirits / Chou Mahou Tairiku Wozz (Magical Land of Wozz) (Super Famicom) / Tomoyuki Hamada, Takeshi Sato and Seiichi Tokunaga 28:58 Forest of Mythrandir / Stone Protectors (Super NES) / Steve Duckworth  34:05 Great Forest of Moore / Final Fantasy V (Super Famicom) / Nobuo Uematsu 37:18 The Maze-Like Forest / Traverse: Starlight and Prairie (Super Famicom) / Daisuke Tamura 41:16 Quiet Forest Trail / King Arthur and the Knights of Justice (Super NES) / Robert Ridihalgh 43:52 Forest / Tales of Phantasia (Super Famicom) / Motoi Sakuraba  47:02 Haunted Forest / Down the World: Mervil's Ambition (Super Famicom) / Jeff Pfeifer and Rob Pfeifer 49:34 Beautiful Forest / Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest (Super NES) / Ryuji Sasai  52:05 Underworld Forest / Last Bible III (Super Famicom) / Hiroyuki Yanada 55:02 Temple Forest / Dark Law: Meaning of Death (Super Famicom) / Yusuke Takahama 58:00 Phantom Forest / Kishin Korinden Oni (Super Famicom) / Yoko Watanabe 61:55 Unicorn Forest / Tales of Phantasia (Super Famicom) / Motoi Sakuraba 65:10 Surrounded by Forest / Treasure Hunter G (Super Famicom) / John Pee  69:00 Powell, the Moonlight Forest / Seiken Densetsu 3 (Super Famicom) / Hiroki Kikuta 73:46 Misty Forest / Breath of Fire (Super NES) / Yasuaki Fujita, Mari Yamaguchi, Minae Fuji, Yoko Shimomura and Tatsuya Nishimura 76:31: Lost in the Forest / Romancing Saga 3 (Super Famicom) / Kenji ito 79:29 Fields of Gothica / Secret of Evermore (Super Nintendo) / Jeremy Soule  80:48 Ymir Forest / Tales of Phantasia (Super Famicom) / Motoi Sakuraba 84:05 Still of the Night / Secret of Mana (Super NES) / Hiroki Kikuta 87:02 Windy Cliffs / Do-Re-Mi Fantasy (Super Famicom) / Jun Chikuma Follow: Singing Mountain on Twitter • Drew on Twitter • Facebook • Facebook Group •  Instagram Listen: Apple Podcasts • Spotify • Google Play • Google Podcasts  Support this podcast on Patreon!

Back in the 16-bit era, urban streets were littered with no-good punks who would attack in wave after wave, leaving a group of musclebound heroes no choice but to keep on punching — and hope there is a whole roast chicken hidden in a garbage can somewhere. This episode is a celebration of those gritty city environments, the music heard in them and the music from other genres of game that nonetheless get at this same vibe.

Hospitals worldwide had to respond to the fallout from COVID-19 to meet the needs of patients and employees. Rochester Regional Health in Upstate New York was no different. But, because it had a cloud strategy in place already, the team at Rochester Regional responded with incredible agility. In this episode, hosts Nathan Bennett and Mari Yamaguchi welcome Rob Allen and Jason Zawodzinski, two of the driving forces behind the hospital’s innovative rapid response that treated hundreds of patients — and saved hundreds of jobs.

On a sunny day in May 2015, racing superstar James Hinchcliffe was taking some practice laps around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to prepare for the upcoming Indianapolis 500. At Turn 3, clocking speeds of 221 mph, Hinch’s car experienced a suspension failure and smashed into the side wall with 126 Gs of force. It was the largest impact ever recorded in IndyCar history. Five years after surviving the near-fatal crash, Hinchcliffe is at the top of his game with no sign of slowing down. In the Season 3 premier of our Take a Moment podcast, hosts Nathan Bennett and Mari Yamaguchi sit down with “The Mayor of Hinchtown” to find out how true leaders stay driven to succeed — even after tragedy strikes.

During his decades as a leader in the IT space, Don Neault has been fighting alongside those who face systemic oppression in the workplace. Today, as the CEO and founder of Neault Coaching and Consulting, Don helps individuals and organizations better understand the role of an ally — and what it means to take on the struggle of others as your own.   In this third and final episode of our series about leading through crisis, hosts Nathan Bennett and Mari Yamaguchi explore what true allyship in action looks like and what it means to put your privilege on the line to amplify the voices of the oppressed.

Providing a sense of safety for your employees goes beyond an effective COVID-19 response. Long after the pandemic is behind us and we return to a new type of normalcy, systemic oppression will continue to plague organizations around the world, if left untreated. In part two of our three-part special series on leading through crisis, hosts Nathan Bennett and Mari Yamaguchi welcome Genesys CEO Tony Bates and Eric Thomas, Genesys Global Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer, for an earnest discussion about race, fearlessness and the crucial importance of building a sustainable model of equity in action.

From the wildfires that devastated Australia in January to the murder of George Floyd in May to the on-going global pandemic, there’s no question that 2020 has seen more than its fair share of tragedies. During times of crisis, we instinctually look for leadership that provides a sense of security, clarity in communication and empathetic action. The problem is that many leaders lack the skills necessary to respond effectively during times of crisis. In this special three-part series of “Take a Moment,” hosts Nathan Bennett and Mari Yamaguchi explore which characteristics are vital to lead individuals and organizations through unprecedented tragedy. In this first episode, the hosts sit down with Genesys CEO Tony Bates to discuss why empathy is more crucial now than ever for leaders, corporations and humanity.

Dr. Woody Myers is no stranger to leading during times of fear and uncertainty. In 1985, he was appointed Indiana’s State Health Commissioner and quickly became one of the most recognizable voices of reason during the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Today, Dr. Myers is pursuing yet another daunting role: He’s running for Governor of Indiana. Join hosts Nathan Bennett and Mari Yamaguchi as they welcome Dr. Myers back to the podcast to discuss his plan for guiding Indiana through the current health crisis. As both a physician and a politician, Dr. Myers offers a unique perspective on leadership during challenging times. We invite you to take a moment and listen.

Steven Chaparro has been fascinated by structure and design since he was a child. At the age of five, he used a Bugs Bunny art kit to sketch a neighbor’s house. In middle school, he chose to draw Thomas Jefferson’s palatial home, Monticello, for a project on historical figures. Steve knew he wanted a career in architecture and — set out to get it. And after years as a successful architect, Steve has become a different kind of designer altogether. Today, he helps businesses design and transform their cultures. Take a moment with hosts Nathan Bennett and Mari Yamaguchi as they discuss Steve’s views on creating and maintaining a company culture that goes beyond ping-pong tables and open-concept office plans. Steve also shares his insights on brand storytelling, spatial diversity and how intentional humanity is crucial in maintaining culture — especially during times of uncertainty.

Origin stories are always fascinating. Whether it’s how your favorite superhero was brought to life or how a prominent political figure rose to power, we’re captivated by the beginnings of things. In this episode of “Take a Moment,” you’ll hear a different kind of origin story that, believe it or not, is just as compelling: How the Genesys CloudTM platform was born. Join hosts Nathan Bennett and Mari Yamaguchi as they give you a peek into the early days of a tech start-up where a small team of tinkerer-innovators developed what later would become the leading global platform for seamless customer experiences impacting billions. Guests Robert Ritchy, SVP of the Genesys Cloud Platform, and Glenn Nerthercutt, Chief Architect and Genesys Fellow, were instrumental members of that first small team — and still are critical to the Genesys culture of innovation. Listen as they share their stories of success and failure, including when they knew they had to either build something completely new or build it in a completely new way.

If you want to become the Chief Marketing Officer of a leading tech company, you can follow these three easy steps. First, become a trained medic in the Dutch Army. Second, earn a degree in International Law specializing in the Law of War. Finally, build a diverse team of marketers with crazy ideas and empower them to create great things. Genesy CMO, Merijn te Booij, joins hosts Mari Yamaguchi and Nathan Bennett to share stories from the trenches of his career in tech and how his military service prepared him to lead a global marketing team through a massive re-branding effort. Merijn also shares his thoughts on what it takes to become an effective CMO as well as lessons we can all learn from his children. This is a conversation you don’t want to miss, so take a moment with us.

Ring in a new year and a new decade with the next behind-the-scenes interview with our “Take a Moment” hosts. In Part 2 of the host highlight series, producer Josh Reed sits down with Mari Yamaguchi to discuss her diverse career paths — from professional figure skater, to broadcast journalist to communications advisor for elected officials. Tune in to hear how each career has shaped the way she helps companies deliver exceptional customer experiences.

Lifelong gamers might like to reminisce about video game consoles past, but just by the numbers, system that got the most play back in the ’90s was the Game Boy. It outsold every console in its day, which means that a lot of players would have played famous video game franchises on the Game Boy before they played it on a standard system. This episode is all about those versions of famous series, and how the composers tasked with translating iconic VGM themes often worked wonders with the Game Boy’s more limited sound technology.

For our very special Rio 2016 Olympics™-themed episode we let Max take the reigns of the ‘cast to veer us into movie discussions that have us questioning why Suicide Squad is so bad, if the Ninja Turtles are really Teenage, and why there isn’t yet a sequel to Citizen Kane. Eventually we talk about ~Hot New Video Games~ such as Headlander, Gal Gun: Double Peace, Furi and Dreamwork’s feature film game adaption of Robots, before Max tricks us into talking about video game-esque board games such as Doom, Dark Souls, Mansions of Madness and Guess Who.

Come and join us in celebrating 4th of July with Jets and the music from what is regarded as one of the best side scrolling shooters of all time, U.N. Squadron (Area 88 in Japan). The music comes from what I consider a golden age of Capcom games with memorable soundtracks that have stuck with an entire generation of gamers. U.N. Squadron may be lesser known but is just as good as they come. Enjoy! Original Composition by: Manami Matsumae Rewritten for the SNES by: Takashi Tateishi & Mari Yamaguchi Songs played in order: Introduction Front Line Base Enemy Airforce Boss Forest Frotress Forest Fortress 2 Boss 2 Ground Carrier Qustermaster Corp The Canyon The Minks Qustermaster Corp The Seavet Porject 4 Fortress Final Boss If you remember playing U.N. Squadron let us know. Would you be happy to see a re-release someday? Feel free to send us in your requests for game soundtracks for us to feature. Thanks for listening!
