Ditch the TARDIS for Tokyo Tower! Hamish Steele⁠⁠ returns for Toho's second attempt at King Kong, which includes a supervillain named Dr. Who (!!!) creating Mechani-Kong, a giant robot ape version of the lonely and horny real deal. We get into this movie's origins as a Rankin-Bass cartoon -- and the on-set conflicts caused by those American co-producers -- along with all the James Bond DNA (including a literal Bond girl), iconic English dubbing, and how this is a better sequel to classic King Kong than you'd expect.⁠Pre-order Go-Man: Champion of Earth!Part of⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ |⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠skreeonkpodcast@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Theme song:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠"BIO WARS - Synth Cover" by Kweer Kaiju⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sources include: Ishiro Honda: A Life in Film, from Godzilla to Kurosawa by Steve Ryfle and Ed GodziszewskiA Critical History and Filmography of Toho's Godzilla Series by David KalatWikizillaLost Media Wiki

S5 Episode 43 - Tokyo, le quartier de ShimbashiAprès une looooongue pause, nous vous souhaitons à retardement nos bons vœux pour cette nouvelle année ! On a eu des emplois du temps très chargés dernièrement ce qui nous a obligé à espacer les enregistrements et les publications mais nous voilà bien de retour !Dans ce nouvel épisode, on vous invite donc à Tokyo et plus particulièrement dans le quartier de Shimbashi. Laureline, qui vient de passer trois semaines au Japon avec sa mère, nous raconte une partie de son périple. Après une pause shopping à Ginza dans la superbe librairie Tsutaya, les visites commencent avec la découverte du magnifique jardin Hamarikyu, un havre de paix au cœur de la métropole. Beau en toute saison, c'est surtout un spot incontournable pour profiter d'un bon matcha.Direction ensuite la majestueuse Tokyo Tower, petite sœur rouge et blanche de notre tour Eiffel. Le chemin qui permet de la rejoindre est digne des plus grands romans de SF. Coincé entre plusieurs niveaux d'autoroutes, de trains, de monorails et serpentant au milieu de buildings de verre, on se croirait dans une mégalopole dystopique. C'est vraiment l'image rêvée de la ville futuriste comme on peut parfois imaginer Tokyo (manque plus que les voitures volantes !). Et au milieu de ce paysage ultra moderne, Laureline trouvera des sanctuaires confidentiels cachés absolument charmants pour se reconnecter au passé. On vous conseille bien sûr d'y retourner de nuit pour profiter des lumières de la ville ! L'arrivée grandiose sur le temple Zozoji avec la tour de Tokyo terminera ce splendide circuit, avec un dernier sanctuaire caché pour la route bien entendu ^^.On espère que cet épisode vous apportera une nouvelle pièce du puzzle fascinant qu'est Tokyo. Nous on n'en a jamais assez, et vous ?************************************ Chapitrage :00:50 – Bonne année !02:00 – Intro05:50 – La librairie Tsutaya09:49 – Pause déjeuner : des sobas !12:12 – Le sanctuaire Karasumori 15:05 – Le jardin Hamarikyu20:37 – Point de vue sur une Tokyo futuriste !23:50 – Le grand temple de Zozoji et la tour de Tokyo26:30 – Grimpette au sanctuaire Atago29:27 – Seconde grimpette de nuit dans la Tokyo tower33:45 – Le coup de cœur d'Olivier 37:22 – Le coup de cœur de Laureline42:52 – Le mot de la fin************************************ Liens utiles : notre carte pour retrouver toutes les adresses citées dans cet épisode.************************************ Le coup de cœur de Laureline : les livres Tokyo Windows et Tokyo NobodyLe coup de cœur d'Olivier : les figurines en céramique du nouvel an de l'entreprise Yakushigama ************************************* Nous remercions Yannick de La Feuille - production sonore & sound design qui a créé notre générique et nos jingles, et pour son aide précieuse au cours des premiers enregistrements.Suivez-nous en images sur le compte Instagram du podcast : @podcast.tabibitoHébergé par Ausha.

On the screen, Sakura was bowing politely to everyone.Ja: "私の育った習慣だよ。" 桜は恥ずかしそうに笑いました。しかし、遥は深く考え、桜の行動にいつも以上の意味があったのではないかと感じました。En: "It's a habit from my upbringing," Sakura laughed, looking embarrassed.

Japan is a big small place.  It is about the same size as the UK, but is covered in mountains, the latter making up 70% of the land area.  We have very few of those horizon stretching field vistas like they have in England.  This mountainous aspect has led to quite strong sub-regional differences here, especially reflected in language, customs and cuisine.  England has these too, but I think Japan is more pronounced in this regard.  These differences pop up when you are selling here as well.  The following are my experiences having sold in all of these cites and having lived in Kobe/Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo and having made sale's calls in other provincial centers. If we go from south to north and start in Kyushu in Fukuoka, there is a local dialect and basically everyone went to school there and graduated from the local colleges and universities.  Foreigners are not calling on companies all that often down there, so there is still something of a rarity factor at play here.  Back in the good old days, when companies had generous entertainment budgets, the local staff were really glad to meet you.  This was a grand occasion to use you as the excuse to have a big night out on the town on the firm's dime.  My ego took a bruising when I finally worked out it wasn't the Story charm, that was generating this great enthusiasm for a night out on the town.  That big spending night out culture has gone by the wayside, but the rarity interest factor is still at play. Language is an issue though, because the English speaking capability is still underdeveloped in most of Japan.  The local burghers are quite cautious and conservative too.  It will take a lot of patience to do business here, but it can be done.  It just normally requires a lot more time than your company's leaders or shareholders are prepared to give you. Kobe was opened as an international port on April 1st, 1868, so it is one of the most open minded towns in Japan regarding international business.  They have had foreigners living in their midst for a very long time, so there is nothing special about us from a uniqueness point of view.  Trade has meant dealing with the outside world and being flexible about it in the process.  The denizens of Kobe often have a better level of English than other parts of Japan and they enjoy being seen as one of the most international cities in the country.  I always found people there open to discussing business. Osaka is an ancient merchant town with a merchant mentality.  It was the center of the great commodity markets in Japan for salt, rice and soy beans.  One of the great things I like about this city is they will give you a “yes” or a “no”. Often, the reluctance to tell you “no” in Japan, leaves the whole decision piece dangling, without any clear idea of where we are going with this.  Not in Osaka.  If they like it, they will explore if there is a deal to be done and some money to be made.  They are proud of their local dialect and this is a big divider between insiders and outsiders.  As a foreigner, we are so completely outside of all consideration, that in a way, we are probably better accepted than their despised rivals from Tokyo. Kyoto I always found very closed.  The aristocratic capital of Japan for centuries, it features a defined smallish city area hemmed in by mountains.  The interconnectivity of the local people is pronounced.  Their families have lived here for centuries, they know each other and they know who is a “blow in” and who isn't.   Even for other Japanese salespeople from out of town, Kyoto is a hard market.  If you are from the outside, you are “out” for the most part. The area around Nagoya has produced the three most famous warrior leaders in Japanese history, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu. The Tokugawa family Shoguns, closed the country off from the rest of the world. When I say “closed”, this was upon pain of death for entry or exit.  This went on for hundreds of years.  In my experience, Nagoya is still relatively back there in a time warp – still closed off.  I didn't find the local mentality particularly open to foreign business and there wasn't much English going on around there either.  I said that in Osaka you get a “yes” or a “no” and that this knowing where you stood was attractive.  In Nagoya, they do the same thing and the answer is usually “no".  The pride of businesspeople in Nagoya is to have an exceptionally humble looking headquarters, with lousy office furniture, stained, aging carpets and everything very much down at heel, but to also have a huge pile of cash sitting in the bank.  I found they were extremely tight with their money too.  It is the only place I have seen, where when a new shop opens and they put those decorative flower arrangements out front on the street, that passersby will shamelessly take handfuls of the flowers away with them.  They justify this on the basis that it is a waste to see them die and it is much better to have them home at their place.  It is a rough and tough market.  In a word to the wise, they have one little commercial idiosyncrasy that will kill you.  You meet, negotiate, agree the price and sometime later the agreed goods turn up at the seaport or the airport.  This is when they like to renegotiate the price with you!!  “Character building” is how I would describe doing business in Nagoya.  The locals are very aware of who they are and don't open up to “foreign” Japanese from distant places like Tokyo.  So, in one sense, they are very fair and they are closed minded to everyone, not just foreigners from overseas. Tokyo is a really a first class international city and so different to when I got here over forty years ago.  The tallest structure here when I arrived was Tokyo Tower, which seems incredible today, when you take in the ever accumulating city skyline.  English is widespread, people are sophisticated, very international and everything works well.  Getting a decision though can be seriously painful. Because Tokyo is often the headquarters for companies, the scale of businesses being here is large.  As a consequence, there are many, many people who have to be consulted.  Getting them to agree can take an age. Sendai and Sapporo are a bit like Fukuoka to me, in the sense that they are not often visited by foreigners, seeking to do international business.  The capacity to speak English is sparse and the local businesspeople are rather conservative.  Sapporo at least, is an international destination during the ski season, so there are pockets of more international business there.  Expect to have to keep coming back many times to build the trust.  Things will move slowly and in small test increments. When I first lived here in Japan in the suburbs in Kunitachi, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, I always imagined that the rest of Japan was like Tokyo.  It was only when I travelled around Japan selling in the late 1980s and then later lived in Nagoya in 1992 and in Kobe in 1996, that I realised that Tokyo was not Japan.  The regional differences are so important.  Of course, we can do business anywhere in Japan, and ultimately I did have success in regional centers.  The key success factor though is to know what is different locally and to have a defined, different strategy for each major center.  Did I mention you need a lot of patience?

Her destination is Tokyo Tower. The starting point she inquires about is Shibuya Station where she stands.

"Wait, is that person... bowing to the mannequins?" She gently nudges Hiroshi's shoulder with her finger. Hiroshi also struggles to hold back his laughter.Ja: しかし、彼らは知らなかった。春樹が何故あのマネキンにお辞儀をしたのか、その真実を。En: However, they didn't know the truth behind why Haruki bowed to that mannequin.Ja: 服足りを整えながら、春樹は誤ってマネキンに衝突してしまった。彼は悪びれた顔をして、すぐにそのマネキンに丁重にお辞儀をした。春樹は何も考えていないわけではなく、ただ単純に、自分の失礼を詫びたかっただけだ。En: While adjusting his attire, Haruki accidentally collided with the mannequin. Feeling remorseful, he immediately bowed respectfully to the mannequin. Haruki wasn't just acting without thinking, he simply wanted to apologize for his rudeness.Ja: 次の日、彼が店に着くと、ユミとヒロシが待っていた。二人は昨晩のことを伝え、そこから思わぬ友情が芽生えた。彼らは春樹の人柄に引かれ、また店に足を運ぶようになった。En: The next day, when he arrived at the store, Yumi and Hiroshi were waiting for him.

Fluent Fiction - Japanese: A Tokyo Tower Mishap: When Matcha Met Wasabi Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/a-tokyo-tower-mishap-when-matcha-met-wasabi Story Transcript:Ja: 全てがシンクロする瞬間、それはまさに午後の東京タワーの足元で起きた。サクラとヒロシの特別な一日が、ある超級特大の間違いから始まるのだった。En: The moment when everything synchronized was happening at the base of Tokyo Tower in the afternoon. It was the start of Sakura and Hiroshi's special day, born out of a colossal mistake.Ja: サクラ、彼女はピンク色の頬をもつ可憐な女性。ヒロシと一緒に東京タワーの隣接カフェで、涼を求めて過ごしていた。暑さのため、乾いた舌を潤すためのアイスクリームを注文することにした。彼女がアイスクリームのメニューを見つめた時、文字はひとつの単語に吸い寄せられていった。「抹茶」。緑色の甘さと共に夏の暑さを癒す、それが彼女の望みだった。En: Sakura, a delicate woman with pink cheeks. She was spending time with Hiroshi at a café next to Tokyo Tower, seeking relief from the heat. Due to the hot weather, they decided to order ice cream to quench their dry tongues. When Sakura looked at the ice cream menu, her attention was drawn to one word: "Matcha". She desired the sweet greenness that could heal the summer heat.Ja: しかしその一言、それが物語の中心となる引火剤だった。なぜなら、その隣に同じような緑色をした、しかし全く違う未知のアイスクリームが存在したからだ。それは、わさびアイスクリームだった。En: However, that one word became the catalyst for the story. Because next to it, in a similar shade of green but entirely different, was an unfamiliar ice cream flavor: wasabi.Ja: サーバーが注文を取りに来た時、彼女は自身満々に、「抹茶アイスクリームをお願いします」と言った。しかし、ほんの一秒の間に彼女の指は抹茶からわかざりに滑り、サーバーはわさびアイスクリームと聞き間違えてしまった。En: When the server came to take their order, Sakura confidently said, "I'll have the matcha ice cream, please." But in just one second, her finger slipped from matcha to wasabi, and the server misheard and brought her wasabi ice cream.Ja: わさびアイスクリームが彼女の前にサーブされると、サクラは驚いて口をあけた。一口食べたその瞬間、彼女の顔から全ての色が失せた。一方、その様子を見ていたヒロシは、一瞬言葉を失った後、大声で笑ってしまった。対照的な二人の反応がカフェに響く。En: When the wasabi ice cream was served in front of her, Sakura opened her mouth in surprise. As soon as she took a bite, all color drained from her face. On the other hand, Hiroshi, who was watching her reaction, momentarily lost his words and burst into laughter. The contrasting reactions of the two echoed in the café.Ja: その後、ヒロシは優しくわさびアイスクリームと抹茶アイスクリームを交換してサクラを助けた。その微笑みとサーブされた本当に欲しかった抹茶アイスクリームは、サクラの恥ずかしさを和らげ、彼女に再び笑顔をもたらした。En: However, afterward, Hiroshi kindly exchanged the wasabi ice cream for matcha to help Sakura. His smile and the matcha ice cream she truly wanted eased Sakura's embarrassment and brought a smile back to her face.Ja: その日、二人は一緒に笑い、誤った注文の話を友人に繰り返し言いまわるだろう。だが、それはただのエピソードでしかなく、この日の終わりにはサクラとヒロシの関係が深まる瞬間となった。En: That day, the two of them laughed together and would likely repeat the story of the mistaken order to their friends. But it was just an anecdote, and at the end of the day, it became a moment that deepened Sakura and Hiroshi's relationship.Ja: そして、彼らは東京タワーのカフェから出た時、同時に心の中で思った。'今日は特別な日だった、忘れられない一日だった。だからこんなちょっとした誤解も、特別な思い出へと変わるんだよね。'En: And as they left the café at Tokyo Tower, they simultaneously thought in their hearts, "Today was a special day, an unforgettable day.

On the 30th floor of a room, an important meeting was taking place.

However, being in the presence of Hiroshi, who had a stern expression and worked for the top company in the industry, made her feel overwhelmed.Ja: 話が進むにつれ、サクラは言葉に詰まり、思わず田舎の方言が口から飛び出してしまった。固まった空気の中、ヒロシは突然失笑した。En: As the conversation progressed, Sakura stumbled over her words and unintentionally let out a dialect from her hometown. In the tense atmosphere, Hiroshi suddenly burst into laughter.Ja: それって、田舎の方言だよね？誰もが一度は失敗する。大丈夫だから、落ち着いて話してみてよ。En: That's a dialect from the countryside, right? Everyone makes mistakes at some point. Don't worry, just try to calm down and continue speaking.Ja: ヒロシの言葉に、サクラは安心感を覚えて、自分自身を見つめ直した。彼女は再び深呼吸をし、この時間の重要さを認識した。彼女は少し離れた東京タワーを見つめ、演説を再開した。En: Hearing Hiroshi's words, Sakura felt a sense of relief and reassessed herself. She took a deep breath once again and realized the importance of this moment. She looked at Tokyo Tower in the distance and resumed her speech.Ja: 時は流れ、人々の話し声やカフェの笑い声が夜の街を満たしていた。ヒロシはサクラに深く頷き、最後に「あなたの人間性、素晴らしい。明日から一緒に働きましょう！」と言った。その言葉に、サクラは自身への満足感と共に、安堵感を味わった。En: Time passed, and the voices of people and the laughter from the cafes filled the night streets. Hiroshi nodded deeply at Sakura and finally said, "Your character is wonderful. Let's work together starting from tomorrow!" Upon hearing those words, Sakura felt a sense of satisfaction and relief.Ja: 東京の中心、知らない土地で目まぐるしい生活の中で、サクラは自分自身を再確認し、自信を持ち直した。それが彼女にとって、一つの大切な成長の瞬間だった。En: In the heart of Tokyo, in an unfamiliar place amidst a bustling life, Sakura reaffirmed herself and regained her confidence. It was a significant moment of growth for her. Vocabulary Words:As night: d夜が

Fluent Fiction - Japanese: Lost in Tokyo: Rediscovering Friendship through an Old Map Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/lost-in-tokyo-rediscovering-friendship-through-an-old-map Story Transcript:Ja: 東京の混沌とした街並みを背景に、三人の友人が目立たない一日を過ごす話を始めましょう。En: Let's begin the story of three friends spending an ordinary day against the chaotic backdrop of Tokyo's cityscape.Ja: ユキ、ヒロシ、そしてアイコ。彼らは友人間での旅行に興奮しながら、この広大な都市を探索していました。En: Yuki, Hiroshi, and Aiko were exploring this vast city with excitement as they embarked on a trip together.Ja: この日、ユキとアイコの気持ちは一体化し、広大な都市の何百万もの面々の間に自己を見いだす勇気を持っていました。En: On this day, Yuki and Aiko shared a sense of unity and had the courage to find themselves among the millions of people in this sprawling city.Ja: しかし、彼らの興奮が落ち着きを欠くと、彼らはヒロシと分かれ、東京の迷路のような通りに迷い込みました。En: However, as their excitement waned, they got separated from Hiroshi and ended up lost in the labyrinthine streets of Tokyo.Ja: 一方、ヒロシは古い紙の地図を手に、二人を見つける任務に就きました。En: Meanwhile, Hiroshi, armed with an old paper map, took on the mission to find his two friends.Ja: 彼はGPSの技術にはまったく馴染みがなく、地図を頼りに二人の友人を探さなければなりませんでした。En: He had no familiarity with GPS technology and had to rely solely on the map to locate his friends.Ja: 東京タワーの陰に消えていった二人の姿を、ヒロシは地図に映し出しました。En: The figures of the two who had disappeared behind the shadow of the Tokyo Tower were projected onto Hiroshi's map.Ja: ユキとアイコは、東京のビルの影で包み込まれながら、自分たちが道に迷ったことに気づきました。En: Yuki and Aiko realized they were lost as they stood enveloped in the shadows of Tokyo's buildings.Ja: 彼女たちは、自分たちの立場を理解しようとしたが、広大で無秩序な東京は彼女たちに優しくなかった。En: They tried to grasp their situation, but the vast and disorderly city was not kind to them.Ja: 一方ヒロシは、競馬場、東京スカイツリー、田町駅を経由して、ユキとアイコの可能性のある場所を探しました。En: As for Hiroshi, he searched for the possible locations of Yuki and Aiko, passing by the racecourse, Tokyo Skytree, and Tamachi Station.Ja: 彼は気がつき、彼の古い地図が彼を東京湾から離れた場所に導きました。En: He noticed that his old map led him away from Tokyo Bay.Ja: 終わりに近づくにつれて、ヒロシはついに、浅草寺の前で彼の友人たちを発見しました。En: As he neared the end, Hiroshi finally discovered his friends in front of Senso-ji Temple.Ja: 彼女たちは、彼の努力に感謝し、笑い声と興奮で充満した再会の瞬間を楽しみました。En: They expressed gratitude for his efforts and enjoyed a reunion filled with laughter and excitement.Ja: ヒロシは、彼が使った古い地図と、東京という都市が分からない人々を再結束させたことに満足感を覚えました。En: Hiroshi felt a sense of satisfaction with the old map he had used and how it had brought together people who were lost in the city of Tokyo.Ja: ユキとアイコの道に迷った冒険は、普段通り過ぎてしまうであろう場所を見つける機会となりました。En: Yuki and Aiko's adventure of getting lost became an opportunity to discover places that would otherwise go unnoticed.Ja: そしてヒロシにとっては、彼が自分を信じて、古い地図を使って友人を見つけ出せることを示す経験となりました。En: And for Hiroshi, it became an experience that showed he could trust himself and use an old map to find his friends.Ja: それが東京での彼らの一日という冒険のエンドであり、物語の対立を解決するための満足のいく結末を導きました。En: It was the satisfying ending that resolved the conflict of their adventure in Tokyo and led to a conclusion that brought them contentment.

Fluent Fiction - Japanese: Tokyo Nights: Sushi-making Mishaps and Unbreakable Bonds Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/tokyo-nights-sushi-making-mishaps-and-unbreakable-bonds Story Transcript:Ja: 春樹は緻密な心で、坂の上から東京の眺めを見ていた。生活の鼓動が行き交い、東京タワーの影が天を行く、それが彼の背景だった。キラキラと星のように輝くビル群は彼の心を映し出し、彼の夢の中で寿司を刻み、形作り、ユミとサトシのための笑顔を引き出しました。春樹が彼の寿司作りのスキルを完璧に磨き上げることは、彼にとっては目覚めるたびの朝日のような自然のことでした。En: Haruki gazed at the view of Tokyo from the top of the hill with meticulous eyes. The hustle and bustle of life and the silhouette of Tokyo Tower passing through the sky served as his backdrop. The sparkling buildings, shining like stars, reflected his inner thoughts and in his dreams, he would skillfully slice and shape sushi, bringing smiles to Yumi and Satoshi. For Haruki, perfecting his sushi-making skills was as natural as the sunrise that greeted him every morning.Ja: ユミは春樹の才能に心から感銘を受けていた。彼女の眼は、春樹の手が緻密な一手を描く度に、それが彼の情熱に向かって矢を放つようなものだと感じていた。寿司一つひとつに春樹の精神を見て取ったユミは、彼女自身の心が一緒に回転するのを感じるのが常だった。En: Yumi was deeply impressed by Haruki's talent. Every time she watched his precise hands skillfully craft each piece, she felt as if it was an arrow shooting towards his passion. Yumi could always sense Haruki's spirit within each individual sushi, causing her own heart to spin in sync.Ja: しかし、この美しい夜の平穏は瞬く間に消えた。春樹の切れ味鋭い手が寿司を作る際、驚くほどの速さでサトシの頭に寿司を送り込んでしまったのだ。サトシの目が驚きで大きく見開き、そこから出る言葉は「おい、大丈夫か！？」と春樹に問いかけていた。En: However, the tranquility of this beautiful night disappeared in an instant. While Haruki was swiftly making sushi, he accidentally sent a piece flying towards Satoshi's head. Satoshi's eyes widened in surprise, and he asked Haruki, "Hey, are you alright!?"Ja: 春樹と同じぐらい驚いたユミだったが、彼に謝罪し、下手ながらもサトシのために新たな寿司を作った。それは見た目こそ彼のとは比べ物にならないほど粗削りだったが、それがかえってサトシに喜ばれ、その場の雰囲気は一気に笑いに包まれた。非難の声もなく、ただ笑顔が広がるだけだった。En: Yumi was just as shocked but quickly apologized to Haruki and clumsily made a new sushi for Satoshi. Though it was clearly not as refined as Haruki's, Satoshi appreciated the gesture, and laughter filled the air. There were no words of criticism, only smiles.Ja: その夜、春樹はユミのために新たな寿司を作った。彼は、手の動きを丁寧にし、再び同じミスを犯さないように気をつけました。サトシは彼をからかうことなく、ただただ笑い、みんなで楽しむ時間を過ごしました。En: That night, Haruki made a new batch of sushi for Yumi. He carefully moved his hands, making sure not to make the same mistake again. Satoshi didn't tease him, and they all laughed and enjoyed their time together.Ja: 春樹の夢みたいな夜は終わり、彼は最後に見つめる東京の夜景が新たな夢を映してくれることを知った。そして彼の"サトシさんに寿司をぶつける事件"は、みんなにとって一晩中笑い声を響かせ、結束力を高める楽しい想出として語り継がれることになった。En: The dream-like night for Haruki came to an end, and he knew that the Tokyo night view he gazed at last would project new dreams. The "incident of Haruki accidentally hitting Satoshi with sushi" became a source of laughter throughout the night, a joyful memory that strengthened their bond, and it would be passed down through storytelling.

Fluent Fiction - Japanese: Tokyo Tales: The Day Sakura Slipped into Courage Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/tokyo-tales-the-day-sakura-slipped-into-courage Story Transcript:Ja: 東京。この巨大な雑踏の中で、一歩ずつ誠実な人生を歩んでいたのがさくらという女性である。いつも彼女が求めているのは普通で平凡な一日。しかし、この日、それは一変した。En: Tokyo. In the midst of this bustling metropolis, there was a woman named Sakura who lived a sincere life, one step at a time. She always sought ordinary and mundane days. However, on this particular day, everything changed.Ja: 朝日が東京タワーより高く昇ると、さくらは日曜日だと気づいた。普段ならリラックスして過ごすはずだが、この日はそれが適用されなかった。彼女は自宅を出発し、清潔で洗練された街の中心へと向かった。彼女の目的地は、シェファードという高級レストランだ。En: As the sun rose higher than Tokyo Tower, Sakura realized it was Sunday. Normally, she would spend this day relaxing, but that was not the case on this day. She left her home and headed towards the heart of the clean and sophisticated city. Her destination was a high-end restaurant called Shephard.Ja: レストランでは、さくらが入口の直前で自分のスリッパを脱ぐのを忘れていることに気づかなかった。それが彼女に緊張と混乱を引き起こし、レストランでは、テーブルまで滑り込んで、みんなの視線の的となった。彼女が滑り込んだテーブルは、偉大な寿司職人が切り分ける鮮やかな刺身を覆う広大なテーブルで、およそそこに滑り込んだスリッパの足元にあるべきものではなかった。En: Unaware that she had forgotten to take off her slippers just before the entrance, Sakura's nervousness and confusion intensified. She slid into the restaurant, becoming the center of attention for everyone's stares. The table she slid into was a grand one, where a great sushi chef expertly prepared exquisite sashimi. It was not a place for slippers to be left at the foot of.Ja: この何とも言えない緊張感の静けさの中で、さくらは自分の失態を認識し、顔が赤くなった。しかし、彼女は慌てず、スリッパをきちんと脱ぎ、食事を始めた。その姿は、さくらが人生の困難に立ち向かう勇気を持っていることを示していた。En: In the tense silence permeating the air, Sakura acknowledged her own mistake, causing her face to turn red. However, she didn't panic. She calmly removed her slippers and began her meal. Her actions demonstrated Sakura's courage to face life's challenges head-on.Ja: 画一的な人生に疑問を持った瞬間、さくらはより強く生きることを選択した。東京という都市の無情にも彼女は挫かれず、自分自身に喝を入れ、スリッパ問題を乗り越えるという小さな挑戦を達成。この日、滑り込んだレストランでさくらは、彼女自身の中に存在する勇気と力を再確認したのだ。En: In that moment of questioning a standardized life, Sakura chose to live more boldly. Undeterred by the unforgiving nature of Tokyo, she motivated herself and triumphed over the slipper incident, a small challenge. On that day, at the restaurant where she slid in, Sakura rediscovered the courage and strength within herself.Ja: それは思い出深い一日となり、さくらはその日以来、自分の力を信じるようになった。東京は彼女にとって挑戦の場となり、そこで彼女は自分自身を見つめ直し、新たな視点で日々を送ることを学んだ。En: It became a memorable day, and since then, Sakura started believing in her own abilities. Tokyo became her stage for challenges, allowing her to reflect on herself and learn to approach each day with a new perspective.Ja: これがさくらの物語、これが東京の物語である。東京で、東京から学び、東京で成長した一人の女性、さくらの笑顔で終わる話.En: This is Sakura's story, this is the story of Tokyo. In Tokyo, she learned from Tokyo and grew, a woman who ends her tale with a smile.

Our memories are often strongly tied to a sense of Place, the confluence of sights and sounds and scents and pathways that take us to the heartwrenching, the familiar, or the uncanny. The setting of our youth, particularly our high school days, can often evoke profound nostalgia and pathos - The halls of our old school during the culture festival, the café where we worked back then, the abandoned warehouse by the harbor, the amazing view from Tokyo Tower, the heart-pounding moment of our first confession near Tokyo Tower, the terrorist attack we thwarted at Tokyo Tower... Can we not all relate to these universal constants?This month, as with last month, Runa and Sara are joined by returning podcast guests KT Kelly and Mari to discuss Fatal Twelve (2018), a yuri death game and visual novel focusing on twelve people who have already died. In these final weeks of Fatal Twelve we see the cast dwindle until only Miharu and Rinka remain at the very end... along with some surprising new introductions. Through the Divine Selection process they reverse the death of a friend, confront their own uncertainties, and reach more than a few different potential endings. At the end of these twelve weeks, Rinka discovers the true nature of Divine Selection and, in some cases, that is the very last thing she ever learns. This episode covers the remainder of Fatal Twelve, starting with Week 6 and continuing through all of the game's endings. Please keep in mind that this is the second of our Fatal Twelve episodes, so make sure you listen to our previous episode in order to keep up with the full story. Also, as our hosts discovered through the process of playing this game, Fatal Twelve is a rare instance in which we will make a platform recommendation: the Nintendo Switch release, at least at the present time, has additional scenes, CGs, and content not present in the PC/Steam release including several key emotional scenes involving Miharu and Rinka among others. As always, if you enjoy our episodes please give us a rating and write a brief review wherever you listen to podcasts - we don't have an advertising budget so your reviews and recommendations are one of the main ways new people find out about our show!

Heavy rain pounded Japan's southwestern Kyushu region on Monday, causing a bridge to collapse, with some 360,000 evacuating Kumamoto city. The record rainfall over the weekend has left one dead and another person missing, with the Japan Meteorological Agency warning of further landslides. And as the rain front, extending from western to northern Japan, moving southward, a ceremony was held in the coastal town of Atami on Monday to remember 28 residents who died two years ago following a major landslide. In Fukuoka, a local artist last week unveiled his first painted billboard in 20 years for the latest Indiana Jones film. And with storm clouds and wet weather enveloping the country, and Tanabata — the Star Festival — celebrated on Friday, July 7th, we visited the historic Zōjō-ji temple near Tokyo Tower, the day after the sky opened and erupted over most of Tokyo the night before.

An 11-year-old mountaineer from Yamanashi prefecture is gearing up to conquer Africa's highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro. In Adachi Ward, a small explosive device detonated near Nishi-arai Train Station late Monday injuring one passer-by. In Singapore, a Tokyo-based venture capital company, made up of Japanese bank SMBC and the Incubate Fund, has established a funding initiative, investing across Asia in promising finance-related technology or fintech. This coincides with NexTech Week Tokyo, a 2-day technology trade fair taking place at Tokyo Big Site from today until Friday, with a second session planned for later this autumn.

On today's episode we compare the manga to the anime, specifically some key scenes set before the final chapters. As well as share some facts on the setting of Death Note and compare them to the real-world place they are based on. Skip synopsis @ 4:01   Email: WeAppreciateManga@Gmail.com   098: Death Note vol. 11 ⁓ Kindred Spirits Story by Tsugumi Ohba Art by Takeshi Obata Translation by Tetsuichiro Miyaki Lettering by Gia Cam Luc   With the battle now set to end in Japan, Near organises a face-to-face meeting with Light and vows to have proof on Kira's identity. In doing so he will avenge the Death of his predecessor, L. Plot twist, Light is Kira! But chances are you already knew that!   Before a date is set by Near, he must first determine who could be a Kira proxy, whom he titles as X-Kira. Making a time line of events and scanning multiple video records he suspects Teru Mikami. But only when Near's team discover that he has a Death Note do they respond, first they determine where ever or not a god of death is following Mikami, that way they can safely copy and or tamper with the Death Note without being noticed. Takada and Misa have dinner together only to fight over their love for Light Yagami. Afterwards Near decides to capture and detain Misa, knowing that she was once a proxy for Kira, Misa having no memories of the Death Note agrees to de detained following a belief that Light wants to capture Kira and a willingness to cut any plans made with Takada.   Near contacts Light, and establishes that they will meet in the yellow box warehouse within Daikoku Wharf on January 28th 1p.m. Light meets Takada so to inform Mikami on the location of the final confrontation between Kira and Near. The question still stands, if Kira can kill Near and his agents then what will be the fate of Near's rival and the second successor to L? Mello himself not being one to stick to the shadows for too long comes out and abducts Takada.   What will Kira's next move be?     Fun Facts:   Tetsuro Araki directed the anime to Death Note, having worked on the first episode he helped establish the tone of the series alongside the series musician/composer Hideki Taniuchi and Yoshihisa Hirano. It was Masato Bessho who directed and storyboarded the infamous “potato chip scene”   Real World Settings of Death Note:   Daikoku Wharf, or Daikoku Pier is known as 大黒埠頭, Daikokufutō, located around the port of Yokohama. Light studied at To-oh University, which is possibly analogous to the real-life Tokyo University, a notable clue being that they share the nickname Todai, short for Tokyo Daigaku University and the place is referenced using the nickname Todai. Not to be confused with the real-life Toho University, which has a similar sounding name. The hotel that Light and Takada have their meetings in is Teito Hotel, possibly named after a real hotel, previously known as Hotel Teito it was then merged with and is known as the Imperial Hotel. Located in Marunouchi nearby the Imperial Palace. Episode 12 of ‘I love Lucy' was set in this hotel. The anime adaptation uses this hotel's exterior as the model however in the Death Note manga the hotel maybe based more so on the Prince Park Hotel and/or the Mitsui Garden Hotel Ginza Premier. This is because outside the window of Light and Takada's room we can see a noteworthy view of the Tokyo Tower, at the very least, the interior maybe based on the latter. The Tokyo Tower is certainly one of one of Tokyo's most iconic landmarks alongside the Sensoji temple and the Hachiko statue, especially since many pictures show it beside the landmark that is Mt. Fuji. It also makes an appearance in the 2006 Death Note movie, ‘The Last Name', the final shot of the movie is outside Misa's window, where we can see Ryuk flying around the Tokyo Tower. The New York headquarters of the SPK is located near Nick. St. Station however most inner-city streets in New York favour numbers and not names for their streets. LAX is a real place, an abbreviation of Los Angeles International Airport. NHN is based on NHK, short for ‘Nippon Hōsō Kyōkai' or ‘Japanese Broadcasting Corporation' in English. It is similar to the BBC in England. Sakura TV is not based on any TV station. In the 2006 movie, the exterior is depicted as an outdoor food court with a giant TV screen assembled with multiple monitors.

Dリーグで躍動するBenefit one MONOLIZが東京タワーの麓にオープンしたeスポーツパーク RED° TOKYO TOWERを舞台に11月30日、「MONOLIZ PARTY」を開催。訪れたファンを独特の世界...

Japan is a big small place.  It is about the same size as the UK, but is covered in mountains, the latter making up 70% of the land area.  We have very few of those horizon stretching field vistas like they have in England.  This mountainous aspect has led to quite strong sub-regional differences here, especially reflected in language, customs and cuisine.  England has these too, but I think Japan is more pronounced in this regard.  These differences pop up when you are selling here as well.  The following are my experiences having sold in all of these cites and having lived in Kobe/Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo and having made sale's calls in other provincial centers. If we go from south to north and start in Kyushu in Fukuoka, there is a local dialect and basically everyone went to school there and graduated from the local colleges and universities.  Foreigners are not calling on companies all that often down there, so there is still something of a rarity factor at play here.  Back in the good old days, when companies had generous entertainment budgets, the local staff were really glad to meet you.  This was a grand occasion to use you as the excuse to have a big night out on the town on the firm's dime.  My ego took a bruising when I finally worked out it wasn't the Story charm, that was generating this great enthusiasm for a night out on the town.  That big spending night out culture has gone by the wayside, but the rarity interest factor is still at play. Language is an issue though, because the English speaking capability is still underdeveloped in most of Japan.  The local burghers are quite cautious and conservative too.  It will take a lot of patience to do business here, but it can be done.  It just normally requires a lot more time than your company's leaders or shareholders are prepared to give you. Kobe was opened as an international port on April 1st, 1868, so it is one of the most open minded towns in Japan regarding international business.  They have had foreigners living in their midst for a very long time, so there is nothing special about us from a uniqueness point of view.  Trade has meant dealing with the outside world and being flexible about it in the process.  The denizens of Kobe often have a better level of English than other parts of Japan and they enjoy being seen as one of the most international cities in the country.  I always found people there open to discussing business. Osaka is an ancient merchant town with a merchant mentality.  It was the center of the great commodity markets in Japan for salt, rice and soy beans.  One of the great things I like about this city is they will give you a “yes” or a “no”. Often, the reluctance to tell you “no” in Japan, leaves the whole decision piece dangling, without any clear idea of where we are going with this.  Not in Osaka.  If they like it, they will explore if there is a deal to be done and some money to be made.  They are proud of their local dialect and this is a big divider between insiders and outsiders.  As a foreigner, we are so completely outside of all consideration, that in a way, we are probably better accepted than their despised rivals from Tokyo. Kyoto I always found very closed.  The aristocratic capital of Japan for centuries, it features a defined smallish city area hemmed in by mountains.  The interconnectivity of the local people is pronounced.  Their families have lived here for centuries, they know each other and they know who is a “blow in” and who isn't.   Even for other Japanese salespeople from out of town, Kyoto is a hard market.  If you are from the outside, you are “out” for the most part. The area around Nagoya has produced the three most famous warrior leaders in Japanese history, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu. The Tokugawa family Shoguns, closed the country off from the rest of the world. When I say “closed”, this was upon pain of death for entry or exit.  This went on for hundreds of years.  In my experience, Nagoya is still relatively back there in a time warp – still closed off.  I didn't find the local mentality particularly open to foreign business and there wasn't much English going on around there either.  I said that in Osaka you get a “yes” or a “no” and that this knowing where you stood was attractive.  In Nagoya, they do the same thing and the answer is usually “no".  The pride of businesspeople in Nagoya is to have an exceptionally humble looking headquarters, with lousy office furniture, stained, aging carpets and everything very much down at heel, but to also have a huge pile of cash sitting in the bank.  I found they were extremely tight with their money too.  It is the only place I have seen, where when a new shop opens and they put those decorative flower arrangements out front on the street, that passersby will shamelessly take handfuls of the flowers away with them.  They justify this on the basis that it is a waste to see them die and it is much better to have them home at their place.  It is a rough and tough market.  In a word to the wise, they have one little commercial idiosyncrasy that will kill you.  You meet, negotiate, agree the price and sometime later the agreed goods turn up at the seaport or the airport.  This is when they like to renegotiate the price with you!!  “Character building” is how I would describe doing business in Nagoya.  The locals are very aware of who they are and don't open up to “foreign” Japanese from distant places like Tokyo.  So, in one sense, they are very fair and they are closed minded to everyone, not just foreigners from overseas. Tokyo is a really a first class international city and so different to when I got here over forty years ago.  The tallest structure here when I arrived was Tokyo Tower, which seems incredible today, when you take in the ever accumulating city skyline.  English is widespread, people are sophisticated, very international and everything works well.  Getting a decision though can be seriously painful. Because Tokyo is often the headquarters for companies, the scale of businesses being here is large.  As a consequence, there are many, many people who have to be consulted.  Getting them to agree can take an age. Sendai and Sapporo are a bit like Fukuoka to me, in the sense that they are not often visited by foreigners, seeking to do international business.  The capacity to speak English is sparse and the local businesspeople are rather conservative.  Sapporo at least, is an international destination during the ski season, so there are pockets of more international business there.  Expect to have to keep coming back many times to build the trust.  Things will move slowly and in small test increments. When I first lived here in Japan in the suburbs in Kunitachi, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, I always imagined that the rest of Japan was like Tokyo.  It was only when I travelled around Japan selling in the late 1980s and then later lived in Nagoya in 1992 and in Kobe in 1996, that I realised that Tokyo was not Japan.  The regional differences are so important.  Of course, we can do business anywhere in Japan, and ultimately I did have success in regional centers.  The key success factor though is to know what is different locally and to have a defined, different strategy for each major center.  Did I mention you need a lot of patience?

The bright orange color astronauts wear to go out for launch is called International Orange, and it's the same shade as the paint that coats Tokyo Tower in Japan, and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. However, once astronauts are in space, they swap orange for snow-white wear. So what gives with the different colors? Well, there are actually two main types of spacesuits. The first one is the Advanced Crew Escape Suit, aka the "orange suit," aka the "pumpkin suit." Astronauts wear this full-pressure suit during "lift-off". These spacesuits are crucial for those who are heading for super high altitudes. But still, why this color? And what about the white, bulky spacesuits? What's their purpose?

Today, we will be talking with my friend Matt Chan. Matt is a digital missionary who lives in Silicon Valley in San Fran using his passion for tech and missions for the kingdom of God. He is deeply involved with Crazy Love Ministry as well as co-founded the non-profit Basil. Basil Technologies is a Christian faith-based technology nonprofit made up of people who want to use their skills in tech for Jesus. During this episode, Matt shared his unique experience of his first visit to Japan. And how God used a season of pain in Matt's life to gently invite Him into greater depth of God's love and Kingdom. The purpose of this podcast is to showcase how much God loves Japan through different stories of people. It is like God sending a care package to the ones He loves in Japan! If you would like to share your experience with us, please email carepackagetojapan@gmail.com, and we would love to have you on the podcast as well! Let's all continue to pray and praise God for the beautiful country of Japan. Pray for Japan

Own the Zone™ and Raise the Flag™, media masochists! It's Anime Quarantine time again, and Murphy and Alex focus on the blessedly non-ecchi card battle genre! "Duel Masters" teaches us that you can't spell "cheating" without "chi", but how many timelines does a show need to truly explore a Magic: The Gathering ripoff? "Future Card Buddyfight" asks us to "luminize", but should that 10 foot tall dinosaur really have a crush on that 12-year-old? And should a 13-year-old really be entrusted with a flaming chainsaw sword the size of Tokyo Tower? All this plus two bonus rounds: The Amnesia Report and the dreaded Dishonorable Mention!
