Margaux Lassalle explore ensuite la puissance de la scène rock nippone, de X Japan et son classique "Endless Rain" à B'z, en passant par One Ok Rock, sans oublier Babymetal, phénomène mondial mêlant métal et J-pop.

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.

Une chronique de Laurent Lafourcade

Howl's Moving Castle - Ep 381: Our long form series continues as your hosts exit their dimensional door and wander into the whimsical, war-torn world of Howl's Moving Castle and ask the important question: Is Howl the most dramatic wizard of all time? We leak goo and grow feathers as we try to contain our excitement and break the curse that recording this podcast has become with another episode of Normies Like Us! We all have Billy Crystal in our hearts. @Normies_Like_Us https://www.instagram.com/normies_like_us/ @jacob https://www.instagram.com/_j__a___c___o__b_/ @Mike_Has_Insta https://www.instagram.com/mike_has_insta/ https://letterboxd.com/BabblingBrooksy/ https://letterboxd.com/hobbes72/ https://letterboxd.com/mikejromans/

Michelle Obama spoke about a very specific kind of reality check on the Call Her Daddy podcast: the exact moment you realise you’re no longer the main character in your child’s life. Monz is feeling this deeply and Amelia and Stacey unpack precisely why it hits so hard. Plus, a viral video of an airport lounge meltdown has us asking whether we've lost the ability to handle conflict without reaching for our phone. We dive into the rise of "public shaming" and whether we’re all just one bad day away from being filmed giving someone the finger. And, move over “rawdogging boredom”, is “slow vacuuming” the new mindfulness trend? Monz is deep into this one but Amelia and Stacey remain firmly unconvinced. Our Recommendations:

We listen to Nobuo Uematsu's overworld music from Final Fantasy 1, 2, & 3. We compare the 8-bit chiptunes to full orchestrations and even vocal renditions and hear similarities to Joe Hisaishi and Studio Ghibli music.JACK WHITE - IT MIGHT GET LOUD - INTRO (HD)The Girl Who Fell from the Sky - Castle in the skyDeath Shall Me DevourFinal Fantasy Pray The Promised Land FFII Main ThemeNausicaä - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind - Opening (01)FFXIV OST Crystal Tower Ending BGM / FF3 Map Theme ( Eternal Wind )Final Fantasy Pray Voyage FFIII The Boundless Ocean

There's a movie by Studio Ghibli that came out between the two icons that are Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away, and it's a movie that few people seem to talk about. It's another Isao Takahata feature, and another one of his that's based on a Japanese comic strip. Featuring a watercolor aesthetic way before his eventual Princess Kaguya film, this movie looks like virtually nothing else in the Ghibli catalogue. Does this quirky little film deserve to be forgotten amid the titans released on either side of it, or is it just as worthy of esteem as they are? Listen to find out!

Welcome to our sixth annual Hjönse Awards! There were only a couple good contenders for the award this year, but ultimately, as usual, we have come to a consensus. This year we have chosen Andor: Season 1, one of the only good shows to come out of Star Wars in recent history. For those of you who may not know. This award is given to a film or series that we thought was going to be bad, or had little expectation for, but turned out to be great and surprised us in some way.Our Links:Ian WolffeSend us a text

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.
