For the first time ever a Japanese destroyer sailed through the Taiwan Strait, and on the same day naval vessels from Australia and New Zealand also sailed together through the disputed waterway. Miles Yu gives us the background behind the strait's importance for setting the tone with regard to international partnership against Chinese aggression. Second, in light of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's trip to the U.S., we ask Miles what the state of the Ukraine war is, but specifically through the lens of how China see's and fuel's the conflict. Lastly, we profile the newly elected Prime Minister of Japan, Shigeru Ishiba.

La storia dello sviluppo di The Legend of Zelda comincia, non a caso, con una "leggenda nella leggenda", la cui veridicità è stata messa alla prova nel corso degli anni. A prescindere, il mito della caverna ci aiuta a comprendere meglio l'infanzia molto particolare di Shigeru Miyamoto, e mette in una prospettiva particolare la sua immensa opera. The Legend of Zelda è figlio di un'era di pura sperimentazione, e come tale fatica soprattutto all'inizio a identificare i suoi elementi fondanti. Eppure, con l'enorme contributo di altre giovani reclute di Nintendo, Shigeru arriva infine a canonizzare gli aspetti distintivi di una saga che ancora oggi mantiene assolutamente chiara e ferma la sua missione: dare al giocatore la sensazione più pura del concetto di "andare all'avventura". Non mancano naturalmente imprevisti, colpi di scena e ispirazioni inattese (qualcuno ha detto Twin Peaks?). Tutto questo e molto altro nella prima puntata dedicata alla storia dello sviluppo di The Legend of Zelda.

Earlier this month, Toho Studios released “Godzilla Minus One”—the 37th film in the now almost seven-decade-old franchise. Godzilla has gone through many phases over the past 70 years: symbol of Japan's nuclear fears, cuddly defender of humanity, Japanese cultural icon and, now, the centerpiece of another Hollywood cinematic universe. But it was 1954's Godzilla that launched the whole thing, with a story written by Japanese author Shigeru Kayama. He also wrote a novelization for the movie and its sequel Godzilla Raids Again (University of Minnesota Press: 2023), both translated by Jeffrey Angles. In this interview, Jeffrey and I talk about these novels, how they differ from the movies, and how they start Godzilla's journey to becoming a cultural icon. Jeffrey Angles is a professor and advisor of Japanese in the Department of World Languages and Literatures at Western Michigan University.

Godzilla emerged from the sea to devastate Tokyo in the now-classic 1954 film, produced by Tōhō Studios and directed by Ishirō Honda, creating a global sensation and launching one of the world's most successful movie and media franchises. Awakened and transformed by nuclear weapons testing, Godzilla serves as a terrifying metaphor for humanity's shortsighted destructiveness: this was the intent of Shigeru Kayama, the science fiction writer who drafted the 1954 original film and its first sequel and, in 1955, published these novellas. Although the Godzilla films have been analyzed in detail by cultural historians, film scholars, and generations of fans, Kayama's two Godzilla novellas—both classics of Japanese young-adult science fiction—have never been available in English. Godzilla and Godzilla Raids Again: The Original Novellas by Shigeru Kayama (U Michigan Press, 2023) finally provides English-speaking fans and critics the original texts with these first-ever English-language translations of Godzilla and Godzilla Raids Again. The novellas reveal valuable insights into Kayama's vision for the Godzilla story, feature plots that differ from the films, and clearly display the author's strong antinuclear, proenvironmental convictions. Kayama's fiction depicts Godzilla as engaging in guerrilla-style warfare against humanity, which has allowed the destruction of the natural world through its irresponsible, immoral perversion of science. As human activity continues to cause mass extinctions and rapid climatic change, Godzilla provides a fable for the Anthropocene, powerfully reminding us that nature will fight back against humanity's onslaught in unpredictable and devastating ways. Shigeru Kayama (1904–1975) was a science fiction writer and scenarist whose early stories about monsters and mutated sea creatures attracted the attention of Tōhō Studios, which asked him to draft the first two Godzilla films. Jeffrey Angles is professor of Japanese at Western Michigan University. He is the author of Writing the Love of Boys: Origins of Bishonen Culture in Modernist Japanese Literature (Minnesota, 2011) and the award-winning translator of Orikuchi Shinobu's The Book of the Dead (Minnesota, 2017) and Hiromi Ito's The Thorn Puller.
