Almost exactly one year after Season 6's Expo 2025 deep dive with Sachiko Yoshimura, the Krewe closes the loop with two people who were actually there.

On this week's episode of The Wine Makers, we sit down with Japanese winemaker Sonoe Hirabayashi of Six Cloves Wines. She talks about her roots in Nagano, her family's long history of fermenting miso and sake, and how she found her way into wine, along with her connection to the art of Taiko drumming. Sonoe originally moved to New York to work as a corporate accountant, but after getting hooked on wine, she realized that path was not for her. She headed to UC Davis to study winemaking, later returned to Japan to help her family make sake, and has since worked around the world. Today, she produces balanced, elegant, acid-driven wines under her Six Cloves label. She shares her Chardonnay from Linda Vista Vineyard in Oak Knoll and her Alder Springs Pinot Noir, both showing a strong sense of place and her light touch in the cellar. She also makes Cabernet, Zinfandel, and a Grenache Pinot blend worth seeking out.

Experience the power and artistry of Matsuriza in Epcot's Japan Pavilion. This memory comes from our December 2021 visit to Walt Disney World, when we left Germany after a festive lunch and made our way toward France for our Remy reservation—only to discover the attraction had gone down with technical issues.With a little time to spare, we pivoted and headed back across World Showcase to catch a Matsuriza performance starting in just fifteen minutes. We arrived with a few minutes to spare, enjoyed the peaceful ambiance of Japan, and then watched an incredible Taiko drum performance filled with rhythm, strength, and artistry.

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.

A stranger to none in our corner of the musical world, Qeone has quickly become one of those must listen labels for each release that comes by our proverbial desks. Fantastic sound design, jazz-like tempos and improvisation mean molds are constantly being broken and rebuilt in the artists' imagination. This focus on experimentation and fresh ears has laid the groundwork for a hotbed of creativity. A label is very much a reflection of those that run it, to the surprise of none Polygonia aka Lindsey Wang heads the imprint, and I can't think of a better example of this concept. Simply her production chops, curatorial skills, work ethic, and attention to detail are all constantly on display with this project. Not even to mention the artwork, which she also creates for each release. For Qeone's sixth and final release of 2025, Lindsey looks to Mexico City via Berlin based Viiaan and her forthcoming EP titled ‘Taiko'. Japanese for drum, the four tracker is a raucous affair, with bright percussion leading the way through syncopated tempos and an upbeat energetic atmosphere that gets the body moving. Rounding out the EP is Azkhar, a four minute wild ride through esoteric melodies and what seems like a molding of genres. Is it half-time, is it breaks, is it tribal bass, who knows. The results speak for themselves as heavy bass elements rumble under as the label states, ‘rhythmical chopped reese drones and flowing tribal grooves.' Azkhar and the remainder of the Taiko release will be out on the 4th of December. @viiaan @qeone www.instagram.com/__viiaan/ www.instagram.com/qeone.rec/ Write up by @huedj Follow us on social media: @itsdelayed linktr.ee/delayed www.delayed.nyc www.facebook.com/itsdelayed www.instagram.com/_____delayed www.youtube.com/@_____delayed Contact us: info@delayed.nyc

Namco set out to create a super popular rhythm game and accidentally created the most popular mascots since Pac-Man. Don-chan and Katsu-chan are unavoidable as we talk about the extremely popular in the East but largely ignored in the West drum game, Taiko No Tatsujin! Why was this game never released in the U.S. until now? How did an instrument mishap lead to the most embarrassing moment of young Rob's life? Is every arcade game released after the year 2000 just a Playstation in disguise? How did Donkey Kong steal this game's popularity? We answer your questions like what arcade game did we initial hate but grew to love over time (#RedemptionArc), what our favorite non-video game arcade attraction (excluding pinball), and what IP we predict will be the next new beat ‘em up announced.

Kenny and Chizuko Endo met in 1975 when he was first embarking on what would become his lifelong passion for Japanese taiko drumming, ultimately using it to honor its role in the past, but also using it as a springboard to innovate compositions and collaborations that have established these ancient Japanese drums as clearly belonging to the future of music as well. Now celebrating his 50th year with taiko, Kenny and wife Chizuko reflect on how their personal and professional lives have been shaped and sharpened by their mutual love of taiko drumming.

What does healing look like when men are finally allowed to speak? In this powerful episode, we bring together four incredible voices—Leo Xia, Michael Huynh, Jackson Xia, and Noel Garcia, who are each reshaping the conversation around men's mental health, identity, and healing within Asian and Asian American communities.

Taiko is a decentralized, Ethereum-equivalent (type I) rollup scaling solution which uses ZK technology. Taiko's goal is to scale Ethereum efficiently while maintaining security and decentralization. Being a type I zkEVM, Taiko retains full Ethereum equivalence, which creates a seamless DevEx, although this comes at the expense of UX as slower proof generation is the main trade-off. Moreover, in order to stay true to its decentralised ethos, Taiko operates as a based rollup, meaning that transaction sequencing is performed by L1 validators.Topics covered in this episode:Joaquin's backgroundLoopring and Taiko's beginningsThe 4 types of zkEVMsTaiko's zk circuits vs. Polygon'sBased sequencingData availability and blob commitmentEthereum's role in the futureThe L2 landscape and its compromisesSequencer security modelDealing with MEVBased preconfirmations & Taiko ecosystem UXEpisode links:Joaquin Mendes on XTaiko on XLoopring on XSponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.
