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. Lea Disimone & Bridget McCarthy served as Youth Ambassadors at the US Pavilion during Expo 2025 Osaka, and they share what the program was really like from the inside, from a day in the life to the lasting impact it left on them. Two New Orleans connections, one world's fair, and a conversation worth the wait. ------ About the Krewe ------ The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

Es ist mal wieder Zeit, über den Tellerrand zu schauen und zu sehen, was Herr Toriyama außerhalb der Welt von „Dragon Ball” noch so alles produziert hat! Gemeinsam mit Jessica und Vivi wirft André einen Blick auf den im Jahr 1988 erschienenen Film „Kosuke und Rikumaru: Der Drache der Konpei-Insel”. Ein Film, der nicht von Toei produziert wurde, dessen Idee, Drehbuch und Charakterdesigns jedoch von Akira Toriyama geschaffen wurden. Was die drei während des Schauens erlebt haben, ob das japanische Schmunzelmonster gezähmt werden konnte, wie Froschschenkel wohl schmecken und warum plötzlich Hitler himself auftauchte, erfahrt ihr in dieser Podcast-Folge. Also reißt euren Gegenübern die Edelsteine aus der Stirn und schaltet jetzt ein!
Ben is once again joined by John Grace from the Midnight Movie Cowboys to review Shogun's Shadow (1989), starring Ken Ogata and Sonny Chiba. The Searchers love to dig into foreign cinema, especially Japan's, so it was a no brainer. So what started as a listener request turned into another collab on obscure (ish) cinema, which is what we do here as you already know. We touch upon the film's 2022 Blu-ray release thanks to Shout Factory (now on GRUV), who were generous enough to post a free copy on their YouTube page: Here, for which we are most grateful. In addition, we discuss Toei's reputation for selling rights to films in the west, Sonny Chiba's career, Hong Kong action films, Corey Yuen, Hideo Gosha, Bruce Lee, and a whole lot more tangential topics. Does this Sonny Chiba film hold up? Did a horse explode during the production of this movie? Will Ben's mic ever truly work properly? Well.. Listen and find out!

E, não, eu não falo do fato do Hyoga estar apanhando mais que burro de carga, não me refiro ao fato do Miro ter menos pena que carteira de CLT tem dinheiro no quesito sentar o braço no Ganso de Bronze! Falo no sentido estético mesmo! Porque, amiguinhos e amiguinhas... que episódio feio DA PORRA!Enquanto os cavaleiros de bronze percorrem as 12 casas pra tentar salvar Atena (que claramente já morreu há pelo menos 3 horas), a Toei corre contra o prazo pra tentar salvar a série dos atrasos e pra isso chamaram o animador Shizuo Kawai, o homem que fazia mal feito... mas fazia rápido!

The greatest of all time, Meiko Kaji, recently came to NYC for a retrospective of her work at Japan Society, so naturally I had to celebrate with a podcast episode in her honor. This is a solo outing, where I discuss the Stray Cat Rock series, which Kaji made for Nikkatsu. It launched her to countercultural stardom and was her last major project for the studio before departing for Toei in 1972 where she went on to greater heights with a series of crime and revenge films. I discuss the five film series: Stray Cat Rock: Delinquent Girl Boss (1970), Stray Cat Rock: Wild Jumbo (1970), Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter (1970), Stray Cat Rock: Machine Animal (1970), and Stray Cat Rock: Beat ’71 (1971). These are incredibly stylish and often whimsical, though only loosely connected stories of girl gangs, their battles with rival male gangs, racism, the American occupation in Japan, drug use, the Tokyo nightclub scene, and freewheeling hippies. Kaji doesn’t play a recurring character (as in the better known Female Prisoner Scorpion series), but different iterations of a cool, charismatic gang boss and juvenile delinquent with a heart of gold. In the episode, I mention that my live interview with Kaji from March 28 will hopefully be up on Japan Society’s YouTube page soon (but there is a ton of great Japanese cinema content there already). I also mentioned this Meiko Kaji-inspired playlist which you can find here; I made this a few months ago for my Patreon, but it is a public playlist and perfect for spring weather.

Tite Kubo has sparked major Bleach lore speculation after refusing to answer a question about whether specialized Bankai training grounds exist in Soul Society. In the latest Klub Outside Q&A, Kubo revealed new details about Kido levels among Soul Reapers and typical Shinigami training expectations, but deliberately avoided confirming whether special locations exist for mastering Bankai abilities. On this episode of Bleach Boys, we break down what Kubo's answer could mean for Soul Society training and how Bankai users might actually develop their powers.We also cover a major update for Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War Part 4, as Kubo confirms the dubbing for the main scenes has now been completed!!! Bringing the final cour of the anime even closer. Plus, Mayuri Kurotsuchi is the next character arriving in Bleach Soul Resonance, new Bleach TYBW Funko Pops have officially been revealed, and Toei has begun promoting the original Bleach anime again. We also discuss the latest Fate/Strange Fake episode and jump into Discord to answer the question: if you lived in a world full of superpowers, what ability would you choose?

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.

It's the annual Halloween Special! This year, Dan and Vinny discuss Dracula...again! Since last year's discussion on the Marvel and Toei produced Dracula: Sovereign of the Damned, we just had to go back and look at Dracula's other animated appearances in other Marvel animated shows. We have 7 episodes from 6 different series to talk about this week. Each episode does something cool with Dracula, even if some of the episodes feel a little drawn out. Do you have a favorite Marvel animated take on Dracula?
Haim Saban is a Billionaire and it all started with a trip to Japan and only one thing on TV. Way to Go Go Power Rangers. Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [OG Law Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to The Empire Builders Podcast, and we're talking empires today. Stephen Semple's there. I'm here. I'm Dave. Gosh, if anybody that ever thought I was reading the intros like that, it's not okay. Stephen Semple: Mystery solved. Dave Young: Mystery solved. Never the same twice. So Stephen, you told me that we're going to talk about Power Rangers today, and I think of that like an entertainment franchise sort of thing, but also what also toys. Stephen Semple: They are also toys, yes. Dave Young: Was it one of those things where it's like, oh, we're going to invent this toy and then we're going to have an entertainment program to go along with it? Because these things seem to go hand in hand these days. Stephen Semple: Yeah, and they very much was hand in hand. The two came about very much together. And it's got an interesting history to it because it was launched in 1993 and it was created by Haim Saban, who is now a billionaire. He's gone on to do a bunch of things. Not just making a ton of money from this, but if you look him up on Wikipedia, it's estimated he's worth a couple of billion dollars. So he's done well in the entertainment industry. And Hasbro acquired the company back in 2019 for $522 million. So it certainly has contributed to his wealth. And he was a cartoon theme songwriter is where he got his start. Dave Young: Really? Okay. Stephen Semple: He worked on things like Professor Gadget and Masters of the Universe. Those were the things that he was writing theme songs for. Dave Young: Oh, cool. Stephen Semple: But he wanted to create his own property. He always wanted to have his own thing. And at the time, he's on a business trip in Japan, and the only thing you can get on the TV is this Japanese animated series called Choudenshi Bioman, which is part of what they call a Super Sentai series. And Saban was fascinated by this concept of five masked people in spandex fighting monsters. So it's in 1985, and he produces a pilot of Bioman. And the idea of adapting Japanese productions to the US market started basically in 1970 with Marvel. Marvel did a deal with Toei Company to exchange ideas, and Toei created a Japanese version of Spider-Man that did actually really well. And what Marvel tried to bring to the US, not so much. So it sort of worked. Initially, America to Japan was working, but Japan back to America was not working as well. But that didn't stop Saban. So what he decided to do was create a show where they could keep the original action scenes, because the action scenes are complex and hard to film, and then just replace the other scenes with good-looking American actors. So basically when there was the action scenes, it was actually the original Japanese content. And then they would put in... Dave Young: Oh, wow. Stephen Semple: Yeah, he just basically said, okay, here's this Japanese thing. I'll keep the original story. I'll keep the Japanese content. And then where any of the acting is, I'll put in good-looking American actors. Basically that footage is already shot and the toys already existed. So it was also economical to import it to the United States. This was his idea. So he gets a meeting with Toei and Bandai, and they agree. What the heck? Sure. Take our content.
