山形新幹線「Ｅ８系」車両東北・山形新幹線でＥ８系４編成が６月、車両故障で走行不能となったトラブルについて、ＪＲ東日本は２２日、故障の原因が判明したため、８月１日からＥ８系の単独運転を順次再開すると発表した。 East Japan Railway Co., or JR East, said Tuesday that it will gradually resume individual operations of E8 series Shinkansen trains on the Yamagata Shinkansen bullet train line from Aug. 1, as the cause of the malfunctions affecting them has been identified.

East Japan Railway Co., or JR East, said Tuesday that it will gradually resume individual operations of E8 series Shinkansen trains on the Yamagata Shinkansen bullet train line from Aug. 1, as the cause of the malfunctions affecting them has been identified.

Japan's image as a sophisticated country with a solid, unique traditional culture is well placed.  For example, every year around 130,000 Shinkansen bullet trains run between Tokyo and Osaka, bolting through the countryside at speeds of up to 285 kilometers an hour and boast an average arrival delay of 24 seconds.  Think about that average, sustained over a whole year!  Such amazing efficiency here is combined with basically no guns, no drugs, no litter, no graffiti, very little crime and the people are so polite and considerate. If you step on their foot in the crowded subway cars, they apologise to you for getting their foot in the wrong place. If you drop your wallet there is a close to 100% chance of you getting it back, intact. Considering all of the above and with the biggest concentration of Michelin three star restaurants in the world, no wonder Tokyo is the best city in the world to live in.  Once Covid is contained, put Japan on your bucket list folks, you won't regret it. Yet sales professionalism is still so far behind, by Western standards. I am going to make incredibly broad, general statements here, but actually they are true for most salespeople in Japan.  How do I know this?  We have been teaching sales training here since 1963 and these are the things companies consistently ask us to fix.  Let's highlight a few things which may surprise you about sales in Japan. Asking for the order is avoided.  Saying “no” is culturally taboo, so the best way to avoid having to say it or to hear it, is to save everyone's face and leave the outcome deliberately vague.  There are shelves of books in English on how to close the sale,  many are in translation, but not a great take up here as yet.  When the seller meets any resistance from the buyer, the first reflex is to drop the price by 20%. Western sales managers would be apoplectic if this was the default objection handling mechanism.  Here defending your price, through explaining the value, is thrown overboard and simple price point reductions are the preferred lever. Objection handling skills are weak, because the seller sees the buyer not as a King but as a God. The seller's job is to do everything God wants.   The salespeople are predominantly on base salary and bonus remuneration arrangements, so not much commission sales “fire in the belly” going on here. Salespeople love the spec, the data, the detail and are not so keen on the application of the benefits. How do we know this?  I am a buyer here too and in they come bearing their catalogue, flyer or their slide deck to take me through all the details. Surprisingly, they never rise above the spec waterline to talk about value or benefits or how to apply the benefits.  It is the same in our sales classes and we see this phenomenon in the role play sequences.  Salespeople struggle to think about what the spec represents in terms of the benefits to the buyer. This opens up the can of worms about understanding buyer needs. By any definition, getting straight into the detail of the product or service, without asking the buyer any questions, is insanity.  Yet this is normal here.  So much for all that slick American consultative sales jive. We are back to the God problem. The seller must not brook God's displeasure by rude behaviour, such as asking questions about what are their firm's problems. Ergo, the buyer completely controls the sale's conversation. They demand the pitch be made straight up, so that they can lacerate it, to make sure all the risk has been cut out.  Buyers are incredibly risk averse in Japan. This a zero default, no errors, no mistakes business culture.  This is great as a consumer of course. However, the seller is not considered a partner here, more of a slave to the buyer's every whim and demand. So the Japan business sales process is pretty “refined”. There are only three steps. The salesperson opens with their pitch, then we move immediately to client objections.  Next, the buyer will get back to you, but probably not.  How does any business get done here?  Please see the next section! Sellers really prefer to concentrate on existing clients, rather than running around trying to find new clients. They rely on the firm brand to do all the prospecting work, rather than their skill as a professional in sales. Hunters are a rare breed of salesperson in Japan, as everyone prefers being a farmer.  This is probably true of everywhere, because obviously it is much easier to keep the business going, than to start a new piece of business.  Japanese salespeople just take it to new heights of speciality. Salespeople never think to ask permission of the buyer to ask questions. Such a simple thing, but so hard to break out of your own cultural context to actually execute.  Once we teach them how easy it is, the scales literally fall from their eyes and they become true believers in asking questions, before introducing anything about the detail of their solution line up. The first foreigners who lived in Japan in the late 19th Century often described Japan as a “topsy turvey” world, because so many things were opposite to what they were used to back in Europe and America.  The differences are what makes it so fascinating and why I have been here for 36 years and am never leaving.  These differences are also a big business opportunity too, as many companies have found, including ourselves.  See you over here after Covid!  

Wrestling Omakase returns for a special episode! John is joined by returning guest and longtime friend Bryan Quinlan (@Not_Quinlan on Bsky) for our podcast all about traveling to Japan to watch pro wrestling! After taking some quick little sideswipes at NJPW for their latest attendance bomb, we give a comprehensive look at all the elements involved in planning for a trip to Japan! John & Quinlan (who have 8 trips between them going back 9 years!) start by going over all of their own past trips and some of the major differences in all of the different seasons they've gone in, which then transitions into a longer discussion on the different times of year you can choose to go and what some of the pluses & minuses of each are. Once that's done, they cover everything else you could ever want to know for planning your first wrestling trip to Japan (or just planning a better one if you've gone before!), including:-Overall trip budgeting and what the minimum amount you can get away with is-Different accommodation options for different group sizes: solo travelers, couples, big groups, etc.-Some of the various neighborhoods you could choose to stay in-Various options for buying tickets (including John finding out that one has gotten a little more complicated than when they just used it a few months ago, live on the air!) and how they work, including how to pick up your tickets when you get there- and which is the only option that actually lets you pick your exact seat! Plus a little bit about the various sections in Korakuen Hall specifically.-Specific Wrestle Kingdom ticket options by section and where each actually locates you-Venue locations and other quirks about them-Other major wrestling-related landmarks in multiple cities: restaurants, bars, and stores!-Leaving Tokyo to see other cities: how to buy Shinkansen (bullet train) tickets, some cities besides Osaka/Kyoto that you might want to check out, and more-Some brief thoughts on language barrier and what you could pick up relatively quickly for a better experience-Food recommendations, especially budget onesBut honestly, this is just everything I can remember off the top of my head that we talked about in a sprawling three and a half hour podcast, so check it out for yourself!Follow Wrestling Omakase on Twitter: @WrestleOmakaseFollow John on Bluesky: @justoneenbyAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Idag blir det en ny programpunkt i Japanpodden. Framöver kommer vi att väva in reseberättelser från olika platser. Först ut bland reseberättelserna är staden Ise i Mie län. Centralort för den japanska ursprungsreligionen shinto och därmed även djupt förbunden med den japanska kejsarfamiljen. Här hittar vi ett helt annat Japan. Långt ifrån storstädernas neon och puls. Här promenerar man längs grusade gångar i skuggan av majestätiska cypresser. Trots att det är en hel del besökare så råder nästan en andäktig tystnad. Samtalen förs på låg volym och besökarna tassar runt försiktigt mellan helgedomarna.Tradition och historia. Följ med på en vandring i det som man i Japans nationella historieskrivning hävdar är själva ursprunget till allt. Om solgudinnan Amaterasu och om hur Japan - den uppåtgående solens rike - en gång blev till. Dela gärna avsnittet med vänner och bekanta och passa även på att teckna dig för en prenumeration på Japanpodden. NYHETERMöte mellan Ishiba och Trump planeras innan G7-toppmötet i nästa veckaJapans premiärminister Shigeru Ishiba planerar att träffa USA:s president Donald Trump i Washington, D.C., inför årets G7-toppmöte som hålls den 15–17 juni i Kanada.Syftet med mötet är att diskutera bilaterala handelsfrågor, särskilt de amerikanska strafftullarna på japanska exportvaror som bilar, stål och aluminium.Båda ledarna har tidigare uttryckt en önskan om att stärka det bilaterala samarbetet inom handel och säkerhet, men Trump har hittills inte varit villig att dra tillbaka eller sänka tullarna på japanska bilar. Incident med Shinkansen stoppar tågtrafik i norra JapanTvå vagnar på Tōhoku Shinkansen kopplade isär under en färd nära Fukushima, vilket orsakade panik bland passagerare ombord.Ingen person kom till skada, men incidenten har lett till stora avbrott på tågtrafiken till Akita och Yamagata.Nu kommer tekniker att inspektera alla kopplingar i höghastighetstågen.Det är första gången som ett liknande tillbud drabbar Shinkansen som annars anses extremt säkert.Järnvägsbolaget JR East har bett om ursäkt och lovat gå till botten med incidenten. "My Number"-kortet kan användas som körkort från mars 2026Regeringen har beslutat att det nationella ID-kortet, "My Number", ska kunna användas som körkort från och med mars 2026.Därmed hoppas man kunna förenkla identifiering och digitalisering av offentliga tjänster.Användare kommer att kunna använda både ett fysiskt kort och en digital variant som app i mobilen. I och med detta hoppas regeringen kunna minska kostnaderna för utfärdande av separata körkort.Säkerheten i det nya systemet har ifrågasatts, men den ska garanteras genom stark kryptering och så kallad tvåfaktorsautentisering.De äldre körkorten kommer vara giltiga fram till slutet av 2029.Befolkningskrisen fördjupas – lägsta födelsetalet sedan 1800-taletUnder 2024 föddes endast 686 061 barn i Japan – den lägsta antalet sedan mätningarna började 1899. Födelsetalet sjönk till 1,15 per kvinna, vilket innebär att befolkningen kommer att fortsätta minska.Premiärminister Ishiba har kallat situationen för en "nationell kris i slow motion" och har utlovat omfattande reformer för att stötta barnfamiljer, inklusive gratis förskola och längre föräldraledighet.Men kritiker menar att strukturella problem som otrygga anställningar, bostadsbrist och könsroller också måste åtgärdas.Trenden påverkar även pensionssystemet och framtida arbetskraftstillgång.En särskild myndighet med ansvar för befolkningsfrågor kommer nu att inrättas.Sumostjärnan Onosato Japans 75:e yokozunaSumobrottaren Onosato har blivit utnämnd till Japans 75:e yokozuna, den högsta rangen.Detta efter att han i maj tog hem sin fjärde turneringsseger med den imponerande sviten 15 vunna och ingen förlorad. Onosato som bara är 24 år gammal, är känd för sin smidighet, teknik och styrka – en sällsynt kombination bland brottare på den högsta nivån. Han är därmed den första japan på sju år att nå yokozuna-status och en del bedömare talar om ett generationsskifte inom sumo, där unga japanska brottare nu utmanar tidigare dominansen av brottare med ursprung i Mongoliet.Mediet Ryo Tatsuki varnar för katastrof den 5 juliDen japanska mangatecknaren och sierskan Ryo Tatsuki håller fast vid profetian om att en stor katastrof kommer drabba Japan den 5 juli.Tatsuki har tidigare förutspått bland annat katastrofen i Fukushima 2011, och har uppnått något av kultstatus i Japan.Många japaner och även utlänningar har redan bokat om sina semestrar och handeln rapporterar ökad försäljning av nödproviant. Inom den etablerade vetenskapen är man dock skeptisk och anklagar Tatsuki för att sprida ogrundad rädsla bland allmänheten. Själv står hon fast vid spådomarna och varnar för ett skalv, en tsunami, eller “något annat” kommer att inträffa den 5 juli. This is a public episode.

Những chuyến tàu Shinkansen biểu tượng của Nhật Bản đang chứng kiến sự tăng trưởng đột biến về số lượng hành khách, đặc biệt sau các kỳ nghỉ lễ và các sự kiện quốc tế như Hội chợ Thế giới tại Osaka. Tuy nhiên, hệ thống Shinkansen cũ kỹ, đang đối mặt với áp lực đổi mới.

Querida comunidad les hago este podcast dándoles mucha información sobre los trenes, bala de Japón, la mayor red de alta velocidad del mundo. Lo he grabado directamente en el propio tren. Gracias por estar al otro lado.

Nel 1964 il primo Shinkansen sfrecciava fra Tokyo e Osaka, inaugurando l'era dei treni proiettile e cambiando per sempre il volto del Giappone. In questa puntata di “Giappone nel Mondo” Luca Valletta e Rudy esplorano la nascita del progetto, le sfide tecnologiche, il suo ruolo nell'economia e nella cultura pop (dagli anime ai negozi di modellismo) e i record di sicurezza che lo rendono unico al mondo. Se vuoi capire perché il Giappone non sarebbe lo stesso senza l'alta velocità, sei nel posto giusto!Se questo video ti e' piaciuto potrestii trovare interessante anche l'approfondimento che abbiamo fatto sulla storia dei noodles istantaneihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAMtfk1REhc&t=9sLinks utili➡️ Sono in viaggio: https://www.instagram.com/sono.in.viaggio/

Ein Hochgeschwindigkeitszug, eine Bombe und ein Ultimatum: In Bullet Train Explosion darf der Shinkansen nicht unter 100 km/h fallen – sonst droht die Katastrophe. Klingt nach Speed? Tatsächlich basiert der neue Netflix-Film auf dem japanischen Klassiker Panik im Tokio Express von 1975 und setzt weniger auf Spektakel als auf Teamwork und Bürokratie. In dieser Folge vom Filmmagazin sprechen wir über die Stärken des Films – wie das solidarische Krisenmanagement – und über seine Schwächen, etwa bei den Figuren und dem etwas gezwungenen Rückbezug auf das Original.

Since at least 2019 the United Nations has tried to justify banning anime and manga due to what they consider to be potentially obscene depictions of sexual material related to children. This has failed miserably in the US, Japan, and Australia. In Texas a new bill seeks to do the same, though Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition will likely rule it to be unconstitutional regardless. It's strange that a product like anime or manga, admittedly open for interpretation - the characters are often part cat or animal, are hyper exaggerated, or are based on kawaii culture - would be targeted instead of actual pornography or actual sex trafficking operations. At least in terms of the publicity and priority. Perhaps the priority is based on something else, like certain groups claiming that such content, including game versions, promotes racial homogeneity and marriage norms. And there it is! While the United States admits it has the ability to “manipulate time and space,” the country still can't seem to pick up trash, clean subways, build high speed transportation, or fix infrastructure, let alone create anything new. In fact, the implication of scientific-fiction technology from the White House Science adviser might explain where the trillions of missing US dollars go. The thing is the United States maintains its power in the world through fear of war and economics, and by banning and censoring the outside, like China does. The country has lost any moral high ground and certainly any real essence of culture. Perhaps that's why anime and manga are growing so rapidly in the United States. It's something unique, different, fresh, and certainly not politically correct. Once again, priorities, because instead of building better cars, trains, infrastructure or even good entertainment, the country sabotages all of that and wastes its money on weapons and war. Even the Internet and GPS, two major contributions from the USA to the world, were invented by DARPA and the DOD - for killing and control. This power, and the power of politics, like Oregon cancelling math and reading requirements for graduation, also keeps the citizens in the dark of an antiquated reality. Much of the technology the country does have doesn't come from American minds anyways, it comes from Asia and largely from Israel. The county that gives us anime and manga, which is one of the least politically correct in the world, and one of the most conservative, also gives us QR codes, emojis, plastic that dissolves with no microplastics, tornado prediction software that is accurate, super advanced solar panels, bullet trains since 1964, hybrid cars since 1997, laptops, portable music, the novel, navigation systems, and most discs like DVD and CD. It is also a country that when there is widespread technological failure, citizens still voluntarily pay there toll fees because the money actually goes into infrastructure, and because it is a culture of honor and respect. On the other hand, the US state of California has blown through $15.7-billion and failed at constructing a high-speed rail in 2025. The original Shinkansen took only $3-billion US in the 1960s. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

La línea Hokuriku Shinkansen conecta Tokio con Nagano (el primer final de la línea), Kanazawa (la primera extensión en 2015) y Tsuruga (segunda extensión en 2024). Idealmente llegará a Kioto y Osaka de aquí a unos años, aunque eso, además de su historia, te lo contamos con detalle en el episodio. Hablamos también de los servicios que operan, qué pases puedes usar, cuánto tardas en llegar y qué lugares de interés puedes visitar con esta línea, para que descubras sitios muy poco masificados y de gran encanto. Luego, en Japonismo mini hacemos un ejercicio de honestidad y te contamos cómo metimos la pata en episodios anteriores, hablamos de la firma de libros que hicimos en Barcelona por Sant Jordi y de nuestro cuarto libro, al que le queda nada para estar en librerías (pero se puede reservar ya). Tras leer comentarios de japonistas (ha habido muchos en estas dos semanas), te contamos cómo decir "conveniente" en japonés, algo apropiado porque esta línea de tren bala lo es... ¡Mata ne! ¿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

In this episode, Jess takes us step-by-step through her family's spring break trip to Japan—a points and miles masterpiece that cost just $200 total out of pocket for four round-trip flights and multiple hotel stays. From first class flights to washer/dryers in hotel rooms, this trip had it all. Whether you're dreaming of cherry blossoms, bullet trains, or Hello Kitty cafés, this episode is packed with tips for making Japan happen—without breaking the bank. Flying to Japan in Style with AA Miles Jess booked her family's flights using American Airlines miles, flying on Japan Airlines from Chicago to Tokyo, and shares her tips for snagging first-class saver award seats, business-class seats, and also premium-economy seats.  Staying in Tokyo, Family Style For the Tokyo leg, Jess chose the Hyatt House Shibuya, a new property that has quickly become her top recommendation for families.  Kyoto on a Budget with Hyatt Place After Tokyo, the family took the bullet train to Kyoto and stayed at the Hyatt Place Kyoto, a Category 2 gem offering amazing value.  Activities included exploring Fushimi Inari Shrine, tasting local snacks at Nishiki Market, and spending several hours with deer at Nara Park—Molly's favorite part of the trip! Luxury Final Night at the Conrad Tokyo For their final night, Jess used Hilton free-night certificates to stay at the Conrad Tokyo, a luxury property with top-tier service. From Hello Kitty water bottles at checkout to executive-lounge cocktails, it was the perfect way to end the trip. Jess doesn't recommend it for the location alone, but if you've got free night certificates, she says it's 100% worth it. A trip to Japan for a family of four with flights and hotels for $200?

Gëschter hunn déi ronn 45 jonk Sänger vun de Pueri Cantores de Shinkansen geholl fir a knapp zwou Stonne vu Kyoto op Tokio ze kommen. Et ass de séiersten a pénktlechsten Zuch op der Welt. Och soss ass hiren Alldag am asiatesche Land voll mat spannenden Entdeckungen. Ënner anerem wunne si bei Gaaschtfamillen an typesch japaneschen Haiser an iessen och déi traditionell Platen. Wien u Japan denkt, kann natierlech och net den Téi, spezifesch de Matcha, vergiessen. De Chouer huet eng ganz Stonn laang eng traditionell Téizeremonie materlieft. Nieft kulinareschen a kulturelle Momenter stinn och eng sëlleg Concerten um Programm. Een Highlight war hiren Optrëtt viru ronn 500 Leit am Lëtzebuerger Pavillon am Kader vun der Weltausstellung zu Osaka. Zwee vun de Bouwen an den Dirigent Pit Nimax verroden eis méi.

Ihr Lieben! Herzlichst heißen wir euch zur neuen Ausgabe FLUGMODUS willkommen! Alle drei Bruchpiloten sind wieder von den Mikros vereint und größtenteils gesund aus dem Urlaub zurück gekehrt! Das arbeitende Drittel hat es leider mit einer fetten Erkältung erwischt, verzeiht also bitte den nasalen Unterton! Trotzdem haben wir uns natürlich nicht lumpen lassen und nehmen euch mit an die Hand, während wir Mauritius, Réunion und das wunderbare Japan bereisen! Wir klären, wer den Inseln im Indik die Namen verliehen hat, oder wer dort Autobahnen gebaut hat, wie es ist, zwölf Stunden von Europa nach Europa zu fliegen und natürlich erfahrt ihr obendrein alles Wissenswerte zu Flora und Fauna vor Ort! Mit einem fetten Haken an den paradiesischen Inseln schwingen wir uns ans andere Ende der Welt, fahren Shinkansen, besuchen einen Onsen und wundern uns zusammen über das faszinierende und doch merkwürdig vertraute Tokio und dessen Umland! Und wenn ihr nun schon gar nicht mehr folgen könnt, dann packen wir zum krönenden Abschluss noch einen full-procedure-approach an einem uncontrolled airfield in Ungarn in die Folge! Freut euch also auf eine Menge Unterhaltung und natürlich (da sind wir uns sicher) werden sich alle eure Fragezeichen am Ende der Folge aufgelöst haben!

#153 電車は日本の主要交通手段の一つであり、実は新幹線のように早く走る列車以外にも、ゆっくり走る「ローカル鉄道線」がたくさんあります！こういったローカル鉄道線の多くは、地方部にあり、都会と違った雰囲気や景色が味わえます。今回はホストの2人が各々乗ってみたいローカル鉄道線を紹介してみました！Trains are one of the main transportation in Japan. In fact, there are not only fast-moving trains like the Shinkansen but also many slow-moving “local train lines” !

The podcast is back, and Geoff is flying solo for the first time in 6 years. Thanks Vinod for everything you brought to the podcast. Geoff takes a look back at his 2024 round-the-world trip and other Canadian aviation experiences. Geoff checked the Island Hopper off his bucket list, travelling from Honolulu to Guam via the Marshall Islands and Micronesia. He forced a long layover in Honolulu to allow a visit to the city before heading out on the Island Hopper. The Island Hopper planes are old with some of the oldest Inflight Entertainment Systems Geoff has seen in years. Majuro airport and The Marshall Islands are in the middle of the Pacific on various atolls. This particular routing took Geoff via Kwajalein (no pictures at this stop!), Pohnpei and Chuuk (you can get passport stamps in Micronesia even if you are in transit) before landing in Guam. Geoff is a much bigger fan of the south side of Guam than the north side. Geoff took one of the last flights with United from Guam to Fukuoka. If you're flying to FUK, take the time to enjoy the observation deck. He then headed to Osaka via Hiroshima with the Shinkansen. Flight boarding in Japan is super efficient, and Geoff tried it first domestically from Osaka-Itami to Tokyo-Haneda. After spending time in Tokyo, Geoff flew onward to Copenhagen via Singapore. There is a wonderful 7-11 after security airside at Haneda that sells all sorts of Japanese treats. The Jewel in Singapore is lovely but is super busy on a summer Saturday night. A beach layover in Copenhagen is possible with a quick metro journey. Geoff enjoyed his first ever fifth freedom flight from Frankfurt to New York JFK on Singapore Airlines. If you're liking this episode experience, you may also enjoy Experience 2. "International Megahubs and Flight Ticketing." It's available wherever you listen to your podcasts. Geoff had some interesting domestic experiences in the second half of 2024. A widebody flight on a route not normally served by that plane, and subsequent upgrades. And then there was a massive storm system and hailstorm chaos in Calgary. Geoff also visited Canada's easternmost international airport in St. John's. And to build his knowledge, Geoff is now a successful student with distinction for IATA's training course on passenger fares and ticketing.

As Eric and Todd continue their whirlwind tour of Japan on their way to the World Forum for Motor Museums, we talk to collection archivist Jack Wiegman about a Southern California private collector during the Shinkansen trip from Hiroshima to Nagoya, making this their FASTEST episode! Listen how one organization is moving to from a very private collection towards a museum model; his particular interest in 1970's concept cars; and how Jack's interest in art AND cars led him to the collection; plus bonus descriptions of sweet Japanese treats! (Hang on for this one…a fair amount of background noise, but a great interview! You can also hear the unique music that accompanies each train station as we pull into Kyoto.)

Join two very tired hosts, Eric & Todd, as they continue their journey across Japan on their way to World Forum for Motor Museums. In this episode, recorded late at night after a huge day of travel, they reflect on their first journey on Japan's Shinkansen (known as the ‘bullet train') from Yokohama to Hiroshima, a distance of about 500 miles, which they traveled in a little over three hours. They also share their struggles trying to understand their Japanese guides and laugh about a major snafu with Todd's train ticket, which he needed to board the train. (Completely Todd's error, by the way!)

The first public run of the Japanese ‘bullet train', the Shinkansen, on the 1st of October 1964, captured public imagination worldwide. And it wasn't just the train's sleek look or its high speed that made the headlines. Behind the train's futuristic exterior lay a whole host of engineering innovations: new pantographs, automatic signalling, revolutionary drive units. Since then, very fast train travel has become available in over a dozen other countries. Places such as China and Spain have overtaken Japan when it comes to top train speed or the extent of the high-speed network. But the recent rise in remote working has reduced the demand for business rail travel and commuting. So what does the future hold for high-speed rail?Iszi Lawrence talks about the origins of high-speed rail and its current state to historian of modern Japan, Prof. Jessamyn Abel from Penn State university, civil engineering professor Amparo Moyano from the University of Castilla-La Mancha, Consultant Editor of the Railway Gazette Murray Hughes, poet Jan Ducheyne and World Service listeners.(Photo: A Shinkansen train arrives at a Tokyo station.

If you've ever been to Japan, there's a good chance you've taken advantage of its high-speed bullet trains, also known as Shinkansen. Shinkansen can carry passengers from Kyushu to Hokkaido at speeds of up to 320 km/h in a comfortable and quiet car, with very few delays. Learn all about these beloved trains in today's episode, with hit songs used for Japan Rail commercials and on-board chimes.

Donna Burke explains that her mum gave birth to seven children of which there are two sets of  twins. Donna is the first born twin to a boy and the second set of twins was also boy/girl. She basically in the middle of the seven children.To add to Donna's many talents, she is also the long time English announcer on the Shinkansen bullet train, from Tokyo to Osaka.  She refers to herself as an entrepreneur, which she says she inherited from her dad. In addition to lending her voice to many genres, she also has a business called "Royal Flush" Japan Toilet Sound Maker.  There's a Japanese cultural love affair with sound effects that mask any noises one may make while busy on the toilet!The video games that she's featured on, including  her singing songs and character roles in video games are  Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill 2 and 3.My guest's mum had a very rough childhood. Marg's mother, Donna's maternal grandmother, was an alcoholic. Her second husband was a pedophile. Marg and her older sister were in and out of orphanages, treated horribly while they were there. So the two sisters figured out that they could pretend that their life was better than it actually was. The two sisters felt so much shame about their broken family, parent's divorced, etc so they decided it was a good idea to dream up a different past. This was a coping mechanism which seemed to help. When Marg was 14-15 years old, her biological father eventually let Marg live with him once he saw the horrific conditions she had been living in.  Donna loved to sing and really tried very hard to get every opportunity to perform when she was a teen. Unfortunately her mom, busy with all the kids, didn't really realize how passionate Donna was and how committed she was to fulfilling her dreams of being a performer. Come 1996, Donna realized it was time to get away from Australia and ventured on to live in Japan. She is still there today with a budding career -using her voice for singing monster hits from legendary video games  and doing voice overs, including the job as the english announcer on  one of Japan's bullet trains.Marg has been to Tokyo to visit her daughter and loves spending time in Tokyo. Marg also was thrown into the spotlight because of the notoriety of her daughter's voice as the announcer on the Shinkansen bullet train. The video interview went viral  and that was Marg's first experience with real fame.Though Donna's mom had a dark childhood for many, many years, she still instilled in her children that it okay and important                 "to be kind to yourself and it's okay to love yourself "Donna Burke has a wonderful sense of humor, though at times her childhood may have been a bit chaotic, her sense of humor staid intact. I so enjoyed speaking with her about her mom Marg.   One of Marg's favorite songs  that Donna sings is "Sins of the Father.""Sins of the Father" is a song from the game Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain.
