I went to Japan in April and bought 2-3K dollars worth of Kirby merchandise. I traveled to Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Sapporo. This is partially a slide show of where I went, while also telling you where you can go to get stuff. I went to Kirby Cafes, Train Pupupu, Pupupu Mart, and more. I highly recommend watching the video version. Kirby's Dreamcast is a monthly podcast covering Kirby Right Back at Ya, all of the Kirby games, and the pink puff ball in general.  Youtube version: https://youtu.be/WNOOE4IbAZA http://bit.ly/DreamcastiTunes http://bit.ly/DreamcastGoogle Check out our Discord at http://bit.ly/ScarfCord Scarfplays Twitter (Channel): https://twitter.com/ScarfPlays LostScarf Twitter (Personal): https://twitter.com/LostScarf Jynx Twitter (Editor): https://twitter.com/GameJynx

Worum geht's? 1994 erscheint mit Bomberman '94 der krönende Abschluss der Bomberman-Reihe auf der PC Engine, nach Meinung von Fabian und Gunnar möglicherweise auch schon der Höhepunkt der gesamten Serie. In dem Multiplayer-Klassiker legen kleine Figuren Bomben in rechteckigen Labyrinthen, sprengen Wände weg, sammeln Power-ups ein und versuchen dabei, alle Gegner zu erwischen ohne sich selbst in die Luft zu jagen. Fabian und Gunnar beleuchten, warum das Spielkonzept seit Jahrzehnten funktioniert – auf dem Bierdeckel erklärbar, aber mit einem taktischen und strategischen Tiefgang, der sich erst im Spiel entfaltet. Außerdem kommt der SFT-Technikerklärer dazu, die PC Engine vorzustellen und zu erläutern, was die Konsole von NEC technisch so besonders machte. Daneben erzählen die beiden die Geschichte von Hudson Soft: vom Funkgeräteladen zweier Brüder in Sapporo über die Erfindung des Bomberman-Konzepts bis hin zur engen Verflechtung mit NEC und der Entstehung der PC Engine.

Send us Fan MailThis week, we let the beer do the thinking.We kick things off with our Beers of the Week before diving headfirst into chaos: breaking down malt liquor for the uninitiated, introducing a dangerously fun new boilermaker (hello, Naughty Chouffe), and reacting to big industry moves like Sapporo scooping up Stone Brewing.From there, it's a whirlwind—saying goodbye to local staples, questioning whether high gas prices might actually help beer, and geeking out over the art of the Japanese sharp pour. Along the way, we've got shoutouts, strange trends (yes, pickle beer is real), and one absolutely ancient beer tab that has to be heard to be believed.It's part beer news, part deep dive, part “what are we even talking about anymore?”—and we wouldn't have it any other way.Thanks for listening to Beer Guys Radio!  Your hosts are Tim Dennis and Brian Hewitt with producer Nate "Mo' Mic Nate" Ellingson and occasional appearances from Becky Smalls.Subscribe to Beer Guys Radio on your favorite app: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Spotify | Stitcher  | RSSFollow Beer Guys Radio: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube If you enjoy the show we'd appreciate your support on Patreon.  Patrons get cool perks like early, commercial-free episodes, swag, access to our exclusive Discord server, and more!

On Brew Ha Ha today, Herlinda is calling in from Philadelphia to talk to Daedalus Howell about the Craft Brewers Conference there, happening along with the World Beer Cup. Russian River Brewing Co.’s Velvet Glow Helles-style lager just won a Bronze medal at the World Beer Cup. Just as Herlinda was checking in with her media credentials, there was a crush of other media people around her. She saw that Joe Frazier’s daughter was there for the dedication of a statue of Joe Frazier in Philadelphia. Frazier was a heavyweight champion from Philadelphia. Next year the conference will be in San Antonio. The World Beer Cup is a competition among more than 8,144 beers from 1,644 breweries in 50 different countries. There were 255 judges, 128 of them were from outside the US.  113 beer categories and 5 cider categories made for an average of 69 beers in a category in the competition. So there are dozens of winners in all the different categories and styles. The local promoters always showcase the local beers, so Herlinda noticed that there were lots of Pennsylvania beers too, in circulation. Why does Gen Z drink less? The conference has sessions about the state of the business, and equipment, yeast, etc. There was a seminar about why Gen Z people aren’t drinking as much. They collected suggested reasons why, and Herlinda’s Gen Z daughter had some thoughts. She points out that there are so many people on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications now and you can’t drink when you’re on those meds. Nobody had brought that up. Another seminar reported evidence showing that people are spending 45% more time alone still, after Covid. Socialization is important to personal well-being as well as to recovery in the industry. Breweries are aware that to keep people together, they have to offer beverages and experiences beyond just the beer. Herlinda’s daughter also points out that that people have limited disposable income and don’t want to lose a day to a hangover. The RRBC site describes Velvet Glow as an homage to an old Grace Brother’s beer. The Grace Brother’s brewery operated in Santa Rosa from 1933 to 1966. They created many iconic beer brands including Velvet Glow and Happy Hops. Velvet Glow is a clean, crisp, and refreshing Helles-style lager. It has a bright straw color and flavors of bread crust and biscuit. There is a very low bitterness with a mild hop aroma. The top five countries for number of entries were the US, Canada, China, Japan and Brazil. Herlinda got some really cute socks too, that she will bring back. In Brews News, Toronado Beer Bar in SF has been acquired by one of its regulars. The owner was ready to retire so it’s a good move. Firestone Walker has also bought Stone Brewing in Southern California. Some locations will close but it will continue. Sapporo had owned Stone and the Firestone people are happy. Nice that it’s a beer company and not a hedge fund. Also, Evil Genius of Philadelphia has bought out 21st Amendment Brewing in SF, a favorite stop of baseball fans in the city.  

The Brewers Association's Craft Brewers Conference (CBC) rolled into Philadelphia this week – and so did the Brewbound Podcast On Location Studio. In this episode of the Brewbound Podcast, the team shares their early reads on a week in which the vibes seem high compared to previous years.  Zoe recaps the opening keynote speech by Unreasonable Hospitality author and former restaurateur Will Guidara, including his hyper-experiential approach to customer service and what a "dream weaver" is and whether you should be concerned that your server is eavesdropping on you.  But first, Justin provides details on Firestone Walker and Duvel USA striking an agreement to acquire the Stone Brewing brand and four California taprooms from Sapporo USA – just under four years after the Japanese brewing giant acquired the San Diego craft brewery.  Justin, Jess and Zoe dig into what the deal means for craft market share in California, how the combined company plans to approach distribution and which taprooms are on the move, as well as what this means for Sapporo in the U.S. and what happens with the Escondido production brewery.  The trio also share takeaways from Brewbound's party at Love City Brewing. 

Masamichi Sone, the representative of a company operating facilities such as “Rapport” in Nishi Ward, Sapporo, has been arrested and referred to prosecutors. Sone is suspected of repeatedly submitting false applications to Sapporo City between 2022 and 2025, claiming to have provided employment support services for persons with disabilities despite not having appointed a qualified managing supervisor as required. He allegedly defrauded the city of approximately ¥35 million in benefit payments.

In this episode of The Food Professor Podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois sit down with Cooper Sleeman, from John Sleeman & Sons Company's Spring Mill Distillery, to explore how one of Canada's most recognizable brewing families is redefining the country's craft spirits landscape. Cooper shares the remarkable story behind Spring Mill Distillery and how the Sleeman family's brewing legacy—dating back nearly two centuries—ultimately inspired the launch of a new whisky-focused venture in Ontario. After Sleeman Breweries was acquired by Sapporo, Cooper and his father began exploring the possibility of building a Canadian distillery capable of producing world-class spirits traditionally associated with other countries. Their vision was ambitious: to produce bourbon-style whiskey, single malt, Irish-style blends, and Canadian rye entirely in Canada, using domestic grains and craftsmanship. During the conversation, Cooper explains how Spring Mill Distillery differentiates itself in a competitive spirits market. The distillery focuses on premium production methods, including Canadian grains, handcrafted barrels, and traditional distillation equipment sourced from Scotland. One standout product—Cooper's Rye—uses Canadian rye aged in barrels crafted by Cooper's own brother, a trained cooper, making it a uniquely Canadian whisky from grain to glass. Beyond the interview, Michael and Sylvain begin the episode with their food and agriculture news roundup. The hosts analyze global developments affecting the food supply chain, including volatility in oil markets linked to the Iran war, fertilizer costs impacting farmers during planting season, and the potential knock-on effects on food prices for Canadian consumers. They also discuss industry topics, ranging from restaurant trends spotted at the Restaurants Canada show to those experienced firsthand on their Toronto pizza crawl, which ended at the fabulous Bar Sugo, and Sylvain's visit with the President of McDonald's Canada.

In a tribute to the 2026 Winter Olympics being held right now in Cortina, Italy, Amy takes up a discussion of skiing in Japan. Japan has hosted the Winter Olympics 2 times: 1972 (Sapporo) and 1998 (Nagano). Amy introduces previous Washington Post Tokyo Bureau Chief T.R. Reid's guidebook called Ski Japan! (Kodansha, 1993). T.R. Reid lived in Japan for five years during the early 1990's. When the Gulf War started, the world turned its attention to that news, leaving foreign journalists in Japan with some unexpected free time. Reid and his family took action: they went skiing! The result is his 1993 guide to skiing in Japan, called Ski Japan!Tasked with updating the book for 2026-27 skiing and snowboarding audience, Amy talks about some of the points in Reid's book: things that have changed as well as those that have not, and the affects of mass-tourism on Japan's ski resorts.Ski Resorts Mentioned:Niseko, Asahidake, Furano, Naeba, Hakuba Valley, Madarao and Tangram Ski Circus, and Myoko Ski Resorts.Literary Ski SpotsYasunari Kawabata's Snow Country took place in Yuzawa Onsen, the train station you get off at to get to Naeba Ski Area. There's a Snow Country museum behind the station which is excellent.In Sapporo's Odori Park, there is a statue of Ishikawa Takuboku (1886-1912), author and poet: A Handful Of Sand, Romaji Diary and Sad Toys.In Asahikawa, Hokkaido, there is the lovely, contemplative Miura Ayako Literature Museum dedicated to the Christian novelist who lived from 1922-1999, and wrote Shiokari Pass as well as other works not yet translated into English. It's a lovely 30-40 minute walk through the snow from the back of Asahikawa station.There are also several statues and plaques dedicated to the two Austrian fathers of Japanese Skiing: Theordore Von Lerch and Hannes Schnieder. Von Lerch monuments can be found in the front of Asahikawa Airport in Hokkaido, and at Joetsu, Niigata, the latter considered the birthplace of skiing in Japan.   The Books on Asia Podcast is co-produced with Plum Rain Press. Podcast host Amy Chavez is author of The Widow, the Priest, and the Octopus Hunter: Discovering a Lost Way of Life on a Secluded Japanese Island. and Amy's Guide to Best Behavior in Japan.The Books on Asia website posts book reviews, podcast episodes and episode Show Notes.

The woman who had taken it by mistake was surprised.Ja: 「ごめんなさい、同じものと思って…」En: "I'm sorry, I thought it was the same one..."Ja: 指輪は無事に戻り、雪景色の札幌は再び彼らの笑顔で明るく彩られました。En: The ring was safely returned, and the snowy landscape of Sapporo once again gleamed brightly with their smiles.Ja: 愛子は亮太に向かって言いました。「お父さん、ありがとう。あなたの気持ちを理解したよ。」En: Aiko turned to Ryota and said, "Thank you, Dad. I understand how you feel now."Ja: 亮太は、感謝の心で、愛子をそっと抱きしめました。En: Filled with gratitude, Ryota gently embraced Aiko.Ja: 亮太と愛子は、互いを理解し合うことを学びました。En: Ryota and Aiko learned to understand each other.Ja: そして、札幌の美しい雪の中で、彼らの絆はさらに強くなりました。En: And in the beautiful snow of Sapporo, their bond grew even stronger.

We're revisiting one of our most meaningful conversations — with Olympic gold medalist, ski mom, and mental performance coach Barbara Cochran.Why now? On February 11, 1972, Barbara won Olympic gold in slalom in Sapporo by just .02 seconds. And 54 years to the day later, her son, Ryan Cochran-Siegle, won Olympic silver in Super-G in Cortina.An Olympic legacy — built on a Vermont rope tow.Barbara grew up skiing at her family's backyard hill, now known as Cochran's Ski Area — a nonprofit, community-driven mountain where lift tickets are still affordable, race training happens under the lights, and hot chocolate costs $1.50.We talk about:Growing up in a ski racing familyTraining on the legendary rope towThe “Cochran Way” philosophy of excellence without pressureRaising an Olympian as a single momAnd the mindset that wins medalsBarbara's father believed skiing should be joyful — but that striving for excellence builds character. Before sports psychology was mainstream, Barbara was practicing it. Heading into her Olympic race, she repeated:“I don't know if I'm going to win, but I know I'm capable of winning.”That mindset carried her to gold — and now informs her work helping athletes who “train better than they race” learn to compete with confidence.We also talk about the financial realities of ski racing, how Ryan nearly declined his U.S. Ski Team nomination due to cost, and Ski Haus makes it easy with custom boot fitting that actually changes how you ski and how you feel at the end of the day.  Located in Woburn & Framingham, MA and Tax-Free Salem, NH.

RUNDOWN   Mitch and Hotshot Scott open Episode 370 trying to process the strange calm that followed the Seahawks' 29–13 Super Bowl win, debating whether a championship can feel almost too controlled. The conversation reflects on Seattle's sustained success over the past two decades, Sam Darnold's improbable Super Bowl run, and why early power rankings already underrating the Seahawks feel laughably disconnected from reality. Ray Roberts joins Mitch Levy to explain why he never wavered in his Super Bowl prediction, breaking down how Seattle's physical dominance, defensive structure, and commitment to the run made the Patriots non-threatening from the opening drive. Ray details why the game was effectively decided by halftime, how Kenneth Walker and the offensive line wore New England down, and why this Seahawks team's rare level of connectedness separated them from past contenders. Jason Puckett joins Mitch to break down why the Seahawks' Super Bowl 60 win unfolded almost perfectly according to script, from defensive domination to a controlled, mistake-free performance by Sam Darnold. Puck explains how Seattle's pass rush, disguised coverages, and relentless pressure overwhelmed New England, while Kenneth Walker's patience and explosiveness anchored the offense. Mitch is joined by Brady Henderson and Jacson Bevens for a celebratory Seahawks No-Table following Seattle's 29–13 win over the Patriots in Super Bowl 60. The conversation looks ahead to roster decisions and whether this Mike Macdonald defense deserves comparison to the Legion of Boom. Mitch reconnects with Professor Slick to relive the Seahawks' Super Bowl 60. Slick reflects on where this title ranks among the greatest moments of his sports-fan life, why national media missed the story entirely, and how Seattle's defense and Kenneth Walker controlled the game from start to finish. Calling in from Tokyo after travel chaos rerouted him from Sapporo, Danny O'Neil joins Mitch to break down the Seahawks' 29–13 Super Bowl 60 win. The conversation dissects Seattle's defensive dominance, Michael Dickson's hidden-impact special teams performance, Devin Witherspoon's breakout night, and how this unit compares stylistically — but not structurally — to the Legion of Boom.   GUESTS   Ray Roberts | Former Seahawks offensive lineman and Seahawks Radio Network analyst Jason Puckett | Seattle sports radio host and founder of The Daily Puck Drop Brady Henderson | ESPN Seahawks reporter Jacson Bevens | Seahawks analyst and podcaster Professor Slick | Seattle sports commentator and longtime Seahawks fan favorite Danny O'Neil | Veteran Seattle sports columnist and longtime Seahawks analyst   TABLE OF CONTENTS   0:00 | "Did We Just Quietly Win the Super Bowl?" — Processing a Championship That Felt Inevitable 22:40 | GUEST: Ray Roberts; "It Was Over at Halftime" Ray Roberts on Why the Seahawks' Super Bowl Win Was Inevitable 44:38 | GUEST: Puck; "Exactly the Game We All Saw Coming" Puck on a Seahawks Super Bowl That Made Sense 1:06:26 | GUEST: Seahawks No-Table; Champions at the Table Breaking Down a Super Bowl Win That Never Felt in Doubt 1:34:17 | GUEST: Slick; "We Called It" Why This Seahawks Super Bowl Win Felt Shockingly Inevitable 2:03:29 | GUEST: Danny O'Neil; From Tokyo to a Title Danny O'Neil on a Seahawks Championship That Felt Inevitable

We return to Sapporo to uncover more murder and bears.

Die Wettkämpfe zu frühmorgendlicher Stunde in Sapporo und Zhangjiakou schrieben ihre ganz eigenen Geschichten - wenn auch nicht besonders viele. Neben der Prevc'schen und österreichischen Dominanz steht vor allem das Wochenende von Karl Geiger im Fokus. Weil abseits davon nur bedingt viel passiert ist, schauen Host Luis Holuch und Julia Kemp dann detaillierter auf die Vergabe der Startplätze für die Olympischen Winterspiele Milano Cortina 2026. Sie gehen gemeinsam die provisorische Liste durch und tippen, wer welche Quotenplätze einnehmen wird und beleuchten, welche Verschiebungen es noch geben könnte.Fotos: ÖSV / DSVFlugshow in den Sozialen Netzwerken⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Flugshow auf Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Flugshow auf Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dieser Podcast wird vermarktet von der Podcastbude.www.podcastbu.de - Full-Service-Podcast-Agentur - Konzeption, Produktion, Vermarktung, Distribution und Hosting.Du möchtest deinen Podcast auch kostenlos hosten und damit Geld verdienen?Dann schaue auf www.kostenlos-hosten.de und informiere dich.Dort erhältst du alle Informationen zu unseren kostenlosen Podcast-Hosting-Angeboten. kostenlos-hosten.de ist ein Produkt der Podcastbude.

This week is a special week. We first dive into the fourth session of Rockabilly 2 Rachmaninoff – our acclaimed series with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra. And, this week marks a major milestone: the 200th episode of In the Flamingo Lounge! Joining us this week for an exciting conversation is my featured guest, Jonathan Borden from the renowned Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra! Double bassist Jonathan Borden is a dedicated member of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, where he has performed since 2014. A Juilliard-trained musician, Borden's commitment to the orchestra extends beyond his musical contributions. He has actively volunteered his time on the Board of Trustees, shaping the organization's strategic direction through his involvement in Education, Marketing, and Artistic committees. Driven by a passion for making classical music accessible, Borden has spearheaded initiatives aimed at expanding the orchestra's audience, including BPO UpClose and the ongoing Musician's Nightcap series, where he leads engaging discussions with fellow musicians to answer audience questions.  Jonathan has also performed with the Aspen Chamber Orchestra, the Tanglewood Music Center Orchestra, the Pacific Music Festival Orchestra in Sapporo, Japan, the Breckenridge Music Festival Orchestra, and at the Caroga Lake Chamber Festival. Beyond his orchestral duties, Borden is an educator, sharing his expertise through outreach programs and private lessons. His commitment to fostering a love of classical music is evident in his ability to connect with audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Outside of his musical duties, Borden can be found on the tennis court, the golf course, or the curling rink. This episode was recorded on December 12, 2025

Political analyst Tobias Harris (Founder & Principal of Japan Foresight) joins the pod to break down the foundations of Japan's government system, how it compares to the U.S., and why voters view politics the way they do.
