From Astro Boy to Gundam to real-world robots like ASIMO and Pepper, Japan's fascination with robots runs deep. This week, the Krewe is joined by author, cultural commentator, & robot enthusiast Matt Alt to explore how robots became heroes instead of threats in Japanese pop culture and how those sci-fi dreams quietly shaped Japan's modern relationship with technology, AI, and everyday automation. From giant mecha and cyborg icons to robot cafés and beyond, we dig into why Japan seems so comfortable living alongside machines in an episode that's equal parts nostalgia, culture, and future tech.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

Nichée dans le terminal 2E de l'aéroport Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle, une jeune femme aux grands yeux verts, des cheveux châtain clair attachés, pianote à toute vitesse sur son portable : « Ça y est, je suis bientôt dans l'avion, tout s'est bien passé. […] J'ai des yens. […] J'ai fini de dîner à « YO ! Sushi », on pourrait être aux aéroports de Narita ou Haneda à Tokyo ». Le message atterrit à 20h13 dans le groupe WhatsApp réunissant sa famille, baptisé L'union des chats. Régulièrement, elle lève le nez, guette sur l'immense tableau d'affichage l'annonce du vol MU570 de la compagnie China Eastern Airlines : plus qu'une escale à Shanghai, une douzaine d'heures avant la dernière ligne droite, Tokyo ! Elle attend ce moment depuis si longtemps, bataille sans doute avec une drôle de sensation, mélange d'excitation, d'impatience, un zeste d'appréhension. Elle voyage seule. Quand le détail inquiétait ses proches, elle s'empressait de les rassurer, répétant qu'il n'y avait aucun risque, que, selon l'adage, le Japon serait le pays le plus sûr au monde...Crimes • Histoires Vraies est une production Minuit.

En este primer Japón a fondo de 2026 te llevamos de excursión hasta la ciudad de Narita, que está muy cerquita del aeropuerto de Narita y, por eso, a veces queda algo eclipsada. Sin embargo, tiene mucho que ver (y que comer y comprar). Lo principal es pasear por su calle Omotesando Naritasan, ver el templo Naritasan y el parque que se encuentra justo al lado y comer anguila, pero si quieres saber más cosas que hacer, dale al play. Luego, en Japonismo mini, te hablamos de la nengajo y el calendario de fotos que enviamos a los suscriptores de la newsletter (gratis, claro) así como de nuestros 20 años de Japonismo y algunos cambios "estéticos" que no sabemos si te habrás dado cuenta. Además, leemos comentarios, que había muchos, y te contamos cómo se dice "pagoda" en japonés, porque en el templo Naritasan encuentras dos diferentes. ¡Mata ne y feliz año! ¿Quieres colaborar con el programa? - Colabora en Patreon - Únete a la Comunidad Japonismo - Reserva hoteles en Japón (y en todo el mundo) - Consigue seguro de viajes (¡no sólo para Japón!) - Busca los mejores vuelos - Lleva Internet (pocket wifi o SIM) - JR Pass para viajes ilimitados en tren ---- Continúa la conversación en: - Web: https://japonismo.com - Discord: https://discord.gg/hZrSa57 - Facebook: https://facebook.com/japonismo - Twitter: https://twitter.com/japonismo - Instagram: https://instagram.com/japonismo - Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/japonismo - Newsletter semanal: http://eepurl.com/di60Xn
for the first (or second?) show of 2026, I regrettably need to preface the program with a couple of apologies. As opposed to the nearly half dozen apologies that proceed most weeks.for starters, I know I'd promised with great fanfare that this week would feature the global streaming premiere of Vinnie Vincent's hotly anticipated CD single, “Ride The Serpent”. As you're probably aware, Vinnie is selling said CD online for $200 (plus $25 shipping) to discourage piracy, however, his keen business initiative has done nothing to combat PORCH PIRACY and my parcel has been STOLEN. Please be on the lookout for anyone trying to sell a Vinnie Vincent one-song CD for $200 in the general vicinity of Ben White Boulevard and Montopolis.My second apology, concerns the passing of High Rise / PSF guitarist Munehiro Narita. On this week's show, I spoke of Narita having passed away over the weekend, however he died some four years ago and this was only announced publicly in the past few days. Though I sincerely sorry for the error, I'm not sorry enough to re-record the entire show.

Japan is often described as having “spirituality without religion”, but what does that actually mean? In this episode, author Hiroko Yoda joins the Krewe to break down how spirituality quietly shapes everyday life in Japan, from nature and kami to shrines, folklore, and even anime. With personal stories and insights from her new book, Eight Million Ways to Happiness, this conversation offers a fresh look at happiness rooted in connection, not belief.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

En este episodio de Escalando Agencias hablamos con Mateo García, fundador y CEO de Narita (27 años de historia), sobre una idea que va contra la narrativa típica del “crecimiento a toda costa”:Ser sostenibles es escalar.Mateo comparte cómo han construido un estudio de 12 personas, con foco en proyectos de marca, dirección creativa y acompañamiento a largo plazo, priorizando salud del equipo, margen y calidad. Hablamos de boca a boca, de cómo filtrar clientes, de por qué “el Apple de la construcción” es una señal de alarma y de cómo el diseño, cuando se mete de verdad en el negocio, cambia resultados.También nos deja un marco simple para cualificar proyectos desde el primer día: “¿De dónde viene? ¿Qué hace aquí? ¿A dónde va?”Lo que vas a aprender en este episodio- Qué significa escalar cuando llevas 27 años en la arena.- Cómo pasar de obsesionarte con facturar a obsesionarte con el margen.- Por qué reducir tamaño puede ser una decisión estratégica.- Cómo construir una cartera basada en recomendación sin perder control.- Cómo “estresar” al cliente desde el minuto uno para mejorar el proyecto.- La diferencia entre hacer marca y hacer “marketing de farfolla”.- Por qué el diseño tiene que entender dónde gana dinero el cliente.- Cómo afrontar cambios de industria: de Flash e internet a IA sin drama.
The Krewe sits down with Chris Madere (Baird Brewing) & Chris Poel (Shiokaze BrewLab) to explore Japan's growing craft beer scene. They discuss how Japan's drinking culture evolved beyond the big-name breweries, what daily life is like behind the brewhouse doors, the challenges small and foreign brewers face, and the innovations shaping the future of Japanese craft beer. A fun, informative look at the people driving Japan's craft beer boom.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

Japan is preparing to host its first-ever Deaflympics from Nov. 15 to 26, with events held in Tokyo, Shizuoka, and Fukushima, and Narita airport stepping up accessibility measures for the thousands of athletes and visitors expected from around 80 countries. The airport has introduced pictogram signage, written communication tools, and staff training sessions led by people with hearing impairments to improve interactions with deaf and hard-of-hearing travelers. Meanwhile, the Tokyo metropolitan government is offering sign language lessons to its employees to ensure smooth event operations and promote greater understanding of the deaf community ahead of the 12-day international sporting event. Episode notes: ‘Tokyo Gears Up for Japan's First Deaflympics with Push for Accessibility': https://barrierfreejapan.com/2025/11/13/tokyo-gears-up-for-japans-first-deaflympics-with-push-for-accessibility/
Paul goes to Namibia to check the cute WDH airport, and drive 3000km+ — and yes, before you all ask, driving the Skeleton Coast is everything you dream it to be (this country is stunning, and the NamibRand is perhaps the most beautiful place he has ever seen). He falls in love with Airlink (from their Embraer to their extensive safety talk, and they serve something called food, a forgotten art in Europe/North America), maybe with JNB a bit less (but that lounge there, woah!). Should you board when an aircraft is refueling? Maybe better than staying in front of it like Paul wanted (but the words of the catapion overrule him). Vinod does wide body bingo in Canada (there's one route always on time, listen to discover which!), and shares his South African Airways memories (the current one is a shadow of its former self). The last 777-300ER has left the factory, meanwhile the 777x is delayed, again (dire when compared to the speed of delivery of earlier designs), but it will be a success. SWISS is selling its famous on-board chocolates in stores, but be quick, it's only temporary (you can always dance the extra chocolate off at the Zurich Airport wave, which seems easier to access than the Narita raves we discussed in 149). Hacking the airplane wifi? Well, not really, but... And yes, like in every episode, we talk BA, and we mention FRA haha.We're on video if you listen to us to Spotify, or YouTube (this is nearly 3 hours, our record, so prepare to see our faces for that long!)Thank you to long time listener Garett Gaudet for his insights, here's his latest (excellent) MixCloudSee you in the next episode, happy flying! —For video, subscribe on Spotify or YouTube (or YouTube Music)Review, and rate us, on Apple PodcastsFollow us, and comment on: Instagram - Bluesky - Threads - Mastodon - Twitter/XComment, like, review, and rate us, on FacebookSearch for 'Layovers' on any podcast service (some direct links are on our website)If we're missing somewhere, or for any feedback, let Paul know on Instagram - Threads - Mastodon - Bluesky - Twitter/X

From raves at Narita, airline sonic signatures, to the sound of engines (and a car alarm) during the recording — this episode is music to the ears of Paul and Vinod, unlike the arrivals hell of some airports (should I write which one Vinod will talk about? Nah, you'll find out!). Vinod's way back from Costa Rica, or when nothing goes your way. The beauty of Munich, built straight like a LEGO brick, satisfyingly clear and tidy, and one of Paul's favorites. Is JAL better than Qatar Airways? (Bring your own air vent?). As Japan is seeing increased numbers of international visitors (is that ouvertourism, we talk about it), will it be again Narita's time to shine over Haneda? The old Kenzo Tange dream of NRT might actually come true (in a modern, less striking form). EES, or the rise of machines, taking over airports in the Schengen Area. Are Airbus aircraft of the masculine form? —Follow us, and comment on: Instagram - Bluesky - Threads - Mastodon - Twitter/XComment on each episode, and rate us, on SpotifyReview, and rate us, on Apple PodcastsComment, like, review, and rate us, on FacebookComment on YouTube (there's no video, just audio!)Search for "Layovers" on any podcast service (some direct links are on our website)If we're missing one, or if you have any feedback, let Paul know on Instagram - Threads - Mastodon - Bluesky - Twitter/X

A version of this essay was published by Deccan Herald at https://www.deccanherald.com/opinion/let-s-make-our-own-planes-3607351June 23rd was a very sad anniversary: it was exactly 40 years ago that Air India Kanishka, Flight AI 182 (Montreal-London-Delhi), a Boeing 747, was blown up in the sky off Ireland, killing all 329 on board. There has never been closure, because the Canadian government stonewalled the investigation into how alleged Khalistani terrorists on their soil perpetrated one of the worst airline disasters in history.The black box and cockpit voice recorder were recovered, and confirmed a loud explosion and sudden loss of communications and an explosive decompression, consistent with a bomb in baggage. Separately, two baggage handlers at Narita were killed when another bomb linked to the same terror group exploded on the ground on flight AI 301 on the Toronto-Tokyo-Bangkok-Delhi route.On June 12th, 2025, the as-yet unsolved crash-landing of AI 171 (Ahmedabad-London) killed all but one of 242 on board, and at least 35 people on the ground, as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner failed just after take-off. The black box has been recovered, and India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau was able to decode it. The detailed results will take another couple of weeks. Fortunately, the black box didn't have to be sent to the US because they would have an incentive to exonerate Boeing.Indeed there is already a media narrative of a) incompetence of the Indian pilots, b) poor maintenance by Air India. While there have been previous complaints about broken seats and entertainment systems, there was a clear objective to limit reputational damage to already beleaguered Boeing. Whistleblower reports have long suggested shoddy manufacturing practices especially on jets earmarked for delivery overseas.Boeing appears to be an engineering-driven company that was ruined as the focus shifted to bean-counting and finance, ever since they took over McDonnell Douglas in 1997, but paradoxically allowed the latter's cost-cutting managers to dominate. Instead of innovating, they now tend to recycle old designs. A 2022 Netflix documentary, “Downfall: The Case Against Boeing”, is scathing in its accusations.India is building the infrastructure for significant growth in air travel, to the extent that the hostile Financial Times mocked it with a story titled “Air India crash tests Narendra Modi's ambition to get his country flying”, blaming Air India and the airline regulator (but not Boeing). All this has implications for India, considering that Air India ordered 220 Boeing aircraft and another 350 from Airbus, while Indigo ordered 500 Airbus planes. That's many billions of dollars. The obvious question is: why isn't India making these commercial aircraft? Surely aerospace is a growth sector for India? Yes, there will be offset-based sub-assembly manufacturing, and maintenance operations, but why not India's own passenger aircraft?Brazil's Embraer, Russia's UAC and China's COMAC are eyeing the cosy Airbus-Boeing duopoly. Strategic autonomy suggests India should also strive for its own design.There are military reasons too. Warfare is changing, and drones and missiles are becoming more important, though fighter aircraft remain critical. India is developing the Tejas and the newly-approved AMCA, but there is the salutary tale of the indigenous HF-24 Marut, phased out because of underpowered engines, inadequate infrastructure, and poor coordination between HAL, the IAF, and the government; also no private sector involvement and the lure of imports.India has to build its own fighter jets, and especially jet engines like Kaveri: India is last in line for foreign engine-makers, and anyway, they keep the kill switches. India may be able to sell fighter jets to many countries, along with the battle-tested BrahMos, Lakshya and Akashteer, so spending on them is an investment with likely returns.There is still the siren-song of the US F-35, the Russian Su-57, and so on. There is, ironically, a British-owned F-35B sitting, forlorn, in the rain, on the tarmac at Trivandrum airport since June 15th. It has a) fuel issues, b) hydraulic problems with STOL, c) other problems. This $100+-million jet may end up having to be hauled back in a big transport plane, unable to take off on its own. Local trolls advertised it on OLX for a mere $4 million for scrap.British specialists were flown in, but couldn't fix it. They await Americans now. Obviously, even the closest allies do not get full technology transfer.Let us also remember that the first F-35 built under license by Mitsubishi in Japan ended up in the Pacific Ocean. The pilot, who died, was blamed for ‘spatial disorientation', not Lockheed Martin. The black box was damaged, so the story ends there.Suffice to say that in both civil and military aircraft it is time for India to get its act together.775 words, 29 June 2025The AI-generated podcast based on this essay is here.

Bleach's April Fools Reveal is ACTUALLY Real?! Tite Kubo shocked fans this week with his Bleach: The High School Warfare April Fools joke… except it wasn't a joke! New character designs were revealed for fan favorites like Yoruichi, Rukia, Orihime, Bambietta, Nel, and many more! Plus, a brand-new High School Warfare novel is now officially in the works—written by Can't Fear Your Own World author Ryōgo Narita! We break down every character reveal and discuss what this new spin-off universe could mean for the Bleach franchise. On top of that, Bleach TYBW Cour 4 is heating up with new artwork revealed during the Aqua Timez livestream—including Urahara's Bankai and Thunder God Yoruichi!
Since publishing his debut essay collection—Video Night in Kathmandu, featuring far-flung reportage from 10 Asian countries—in 1988, the prolific travel writer Pico Iyer has gone on to write more than a dozen books exploring themes ranging from displacement and identity to globalization and technology, as well as contribute to publications such as The New York Times, Time, and Condé Nast Traveler. Over the years, Iyer's travels have taken him to some of the world's most remote destinations—North Korea, Bhutan, and Iceland, to name a few—but it's his hundred-plus visits to a Benedictine hermitage in Big Sur, California, that form the heart of his latest book, Aflame: Learning From Silence. Connecting with his inner stillness during these various sojourns in solitude has left him wholly transformed, opening him up to discover the thrumming, ineffable joy of being truly awake to the world and wonderfully alive. On this episode of Time Sensitive, Iyer explores the purpose and joy of travel, and shares deeply moving reflections about what he finds most essential in life.Special thanks to our Season 11 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Pico Iyer[4:25] “Aflame”[4:25] “Autumn Light”[4:25] Philip Larkin[4:25] “The Art of Poetry No. 30”[7:18] Bashō[7:18] Leonard Cohen[10:21] New Camaldoli Hermitage[10:21] Post Ranch Inn [16:25] “Postmodern Tourism: A Conversation with Pico Iyer”[17:08] “The Eloquent Sounds of Silence”[21:48] “The Joy of Quiet”[31:42] “What Ping-Pong Taught Me About Life”[33:14] “Walden”[37:28] “The Open Road”[41:37] “Video Night in Kathmandu”[41:37] “The Lady and the Monk”[41:37] “Lonely Places”[41:37] The Global Soul[44:40] “In the Realm of Jet Lag”[52:35] “Culture: The Leading Hotels of the World”[55:17] Potala Palace[55:17] Naoshima, Japan[55:17] Teshima, Japan[55:17] Narita, Japan[01:00:43] “The Half Known Life”[01:10:10] “No Time”

This week heed the call of the sumo wrestling, battle-axe-wielding, baby seal-faced man! All hail Johnny the Mighty Tior!!! Yep, it's another installment of our ongoing series called “Grave Mistakes: They Shoulda Been Huge!!!”. We're talking about a seminal New Wave Of “Not So” British Heavy band turned Power Metal trendsetters: RIOT! Infamous as much for horrible album cover visuals and weird heavy metal mascot, Riot is a true heavy metal tour de force that is still kicking ass in 2024. We focus our listening on the first half of their career from their start in 1977 until their transition to pure power metal in 1990. They were always slightly ahead of the curve and trends, but never achieved the success of many of their peers or bands they influenced. We think RIOT shoulda been huge!!!What is it that we do here at InObscuria? Well, we exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This episode covers a band clearly in the Lost category for most and forgotten for others. As always, we hope that we turn you on to something new. You can check out the documentary we referenced several times during the show here: three-part documentary: Riot – Fight or Fall, available here on Youtube Songs this week include:Riot – “Warrior” from Rock City (1977)Riot – “Road Racin'” from Narita (1979)Riot – “Don't Hold Back” from Fire Down Under (1981)Riot – “Loanshark” from Restless Breed (1982)Riot - “Born In America” from Born In America (1983)Riot – “Thundersteel” from Thundersteel (1988)Riot – “Little Miss Death” from The Privilege Of Power (1990)Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://twitter.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/InObscuria?asc=uCheck out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/
