Original airdate: May 3, 2022 The term Bushido literally means the way of a warrior. It's been used in Japan since the 9th century when samurai soldiers bravely served their lords. Today, Bushido is seen as a collection of ideals that lead to fidelity to one's values and self-improvement. My guest, Yoichi Utebi, believes that Bushido can serve us well in dealing with our personal and collective challenges. Yoichi Utebi is a movie producer and lecturer. Born in Japan, Yoichi grew up in Lebanon and the U.S. and where he was exposed to multiple cultures and ethnicities. After 12 years of experience in marketing and management in IT companies, Yoichi decided to join Happy Science, a spiritual movement in Japan, as a minister and lecturer, and produce movies. During our conversation, Yoichi talks about the Samurai's bushido code of conduct and ideals and how we can apply it in our lives. Bushido is showcased in his new movie “The Cherry Bushido” a film about a young devotee and group of friends who unite to protect Japan from the threat of extinction by its neighboring country.

Negli ultimi cento anni il Giappone è emerso come uno dei principali produttori di whisky a livello globale. Questa rinascita è in parte legata alla storia di Masataka Taketsuru, un giovane giapponese il cui amore per il whisky ha rivoluzionato il mondo della distillazione. Siamo nel 1918, quando Taketsuru, proveniente da una famiglia produttrice di sakè, arriva in Scozia per studiare Chimica all'Università di Glasgow. Affascinato dal whisky, Taketsuru desidera costruire una distilleria in Giappone. Durante il suo soggiorno, lavora in tre diverse distillerie scozzesi, apprendendo segreti che diventeranno la base della produzione di whisky giapponese.Ma non è solo il whisky a conquistare il cuore di Taketsuru. A Glasgow, incontra e sposa Rita Cowan, una giovane scozzese che lo accompagnerà nel suo ritorno in Giappone. Il loro amore ha ispirato una serie TV giapponese e ha segnato l'inizio di una nuova era nel whisky giapponese.

TCW Podcast Episode 182 - The KOEI Dynasty   We continue our look at KOE and their move onto the console space. This transition is rocky due to the increased costs of cartridge manufacturing. They were able to secure funding by holding a luncheon at the Imperial Hotel for distributors. They were able to start production on Nobunaga's Ambition for the NES. From there they continue to improve setting up development groups to explore new opportunities. The company was still niche until Dynasty Warriors 2 where they could finally move to mainstream gaming. When KOEI acquired Taito, doors opened to other companies' intellectual properties. This led to games like Dynasty Warriors Gundam, Hyrule Warriors, Dragon Quest Heroes, and Fire Emblem Warriors. The company continues to expand and thrive today by helping Nintendo produce the popular Fire Emblem Three Houses, and the RPG NIOH. Still led by the founders in their 70s Yoichi and Keiko Erikawa are truly the power couple of the video game industry!   Ishin no Arashi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DPZoxThbiA Pictures of Nobunaga's Ambition Famicom Cart: https://japanretrodirect.ocnk.com/product/1834 Imperial Hotel Advertisement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKbnsY3uxO4 Imperial Hotel Tokyo Dinning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kG0tOFciWRw Uncharted Waters NES: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbwY4TGd5M4 Winning Post: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMoXa_hgmns Angelique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXdUcDBM0s4 WinBack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwELCSF0YBg Dynasty Warriors 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-p0keIVNNHA Dynasty Warriors 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4GpDnf4wqk Nobunaga's Ambition Online Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kqx101PC3w Dynasty Warriors Gundam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqtJwFIv3OQ Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L79pjJAZ14Q Dragon Quest Heroes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAABK1M0PII&list=PLGKJJhcJXlNzN9nddSJPe0HtjMuhtymL7 Fire Emblem Warriors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGzTii3RBDA&list=PLtJifsYDxDHGZtOx2H7IkHEksUj9kN3sc Fire Emblem Three Houses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhLqZh8DkZc NIOH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa1GrqelJC8     New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and major online retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

TCW Podcast Episode 181 - The Fabric of Koei   We look at the company KOEI and the power couple Yoichi and Keiko Erikawa. Keiko came from the city and had a love of design and investing. Yoichi came from the Japanese countryside and loved games and local history. Yoichi made board and card games based on historical events and people. They met in college when Yoichi rented a room from Keiko's grandmother, and after some time fell in love. Yoichi was pressured by his father to go into the family's failing textile business. Eventually, he and Keiko struck it out on their own. Yoichi and Keiko founded Koei working as a textile business, but they ended up developing software and games for the NEC PC in Japan.

Almost 40 years ago, one of the fastest growing religions in Japan was officially established. Happy Science as it is known is rooted in the principle of doing good within the world. Happy Science Members focus on attaining enlightenment through activities such as daily self-reflections, giving love, and helping create a modern utopia. This week on The Malliard Report, Jim welcomes one of the key speakers of the movement Yoichi Utebi to the show to discuss the faith, his career as a producer, and much more. “Yoichi Utebi is a producer and world lecturer for Happy Science. Born in Japan in 1968, Utebi grew up in Beirut, Lebanon, and New York City. Raised in a rare Japanese Christian family, he was deeply touched by Muslim culture and the beauty of Lebanon during his formative years in Beirut. However, the Middle East also exposed Utebi to the horrors of war, as he and his family dodged bullets and bombings before fleeing to London and back to Japan, leaving everything behind in a sudden evacuation. In the 7th grade, Utebi moved to New York for 10 years, where he was exposed to friends from multiple cultures and ethnicities. His rock band produced a popular album and gained quite a following in the city before Utebi decided to forego his musical pursuits and return to Japan. After 12 years of experience in marketing and senior management at various American IT companies in Japan, Utebi joined Happy Science in 2010, where he quickly rose to Director of International Communications. Utebi is currently a minister and world lecturer for Happy Science and a producer on The Cherry Bushido.” This is a great episode and Yoichi's outlook is certainly infectious.

Welcome to spooky season! In this episode, producer Yoichi Utebi and I discuss his newest film, The Divine Protector: Master Salt Begins. For most of us, the word ‘curse' brings fantastical images of black magic, witches' cauldrons, and a little “eye of newt and toe of frog” to mind, especially as the Halloween season rolls around. But though we may be tempted to believe they are merely fantasy, curses can, in fact, be a very real manifestation of negative thoughts. Most of us have focused on using the power of positive thinking and acts of love, to try and create harmony, happiness, and success in our lives. However, if we are not mindful of our negative thinking, we stand the chance of allowing those thoughts to grow strong enough to actualize harm on ourselves or others. Yes, there is power in positive thinking, but there is equal and opposite power in negative thinking. Explore these powers at https://mastersaltmovie.com/.

https://www.youtube.com/c/patrickhwillems (Patrick Willems) spent six years on YouTube trying to attract an audience for his short films, before he pivoted to video essays about everything from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elXLAcl363A (baseball movies) to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBqRAaZulAY (Francis Ford Coppola's filmography) to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6SbUIDnzJw (Mamma Mia!: Here We Go Again.) Those essays got wildly popular and today, he has more than 350,000 subscribers. However, he kept making shorts, embedded in his essays as narrative framing devices. In other words, he says, he "trick[ed] the audience into watching short films that I also wanna make, but that normally would not get the views on YouTube or have sponsors on them." Then, starting in early 2020, he began connecting those narrative shorts into a serialized story about an evil talking coconut named Charl. This so-called "Charl saga" culminated in June with the release of a feature-length film, https://nebula.app/videos/patrickhwillems-night-of-the-coconut (Night of the Coconut), which is available on the streaming platform Nebula. Today, on the season one finale of Follow Friday, Patrick shared some of his favorite follow recommendations, while imposing some additional rules on himself: With "one asterisk," he says, he picked favorite accounts run by people he doesn't know in real life: Kobe Eats (@kobeeats on https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCosJ16GN2g2tGsVQnGK9pvA (YouTube) and https://www.tiktok.com/@kobeeats?lang=en (TikTok), https://www.instagram.com/kobe_yn/ (@kobe_yn) on Instagram); Jackson Murphy (https://twitter.com/LCJReviews (@LCJReviews) on Twitter and https://www.youtube.com/c/lightscamerajackson (@LightsCameraJackson) on YouTube); Neil Cicierega (@neilcic on https://twitter.com/neilcic (Twitter) and https://www.youtube.com/c/neilcic (YouTube)); and the George Lucas Talk Show (https://www.youtube.com/c/TheGeorgeLucasTalkShow/ (@TheGeorgeLucasTalkShow) on YouTube).

https://www.tangoti.com/ (There Are No Girls on The Internet) is an award-winning podcast about people who have always been at the forefront of technology, but whose stories are often ignored or misrepresented. That's a big and sometimes contentious field, and TANGOTI host Bridget Todd says it's important to make space for everyone to work through difficult conversations about inclusion, rather than expecting everyone to "get it" right away. "I've been in social change movements for a long time and I do think we have this expectation that we expect people to show up with the right ethos and the right language and the right perspective," Bridget says. "And I get that, but I also feel like it doesn't leave room to hear the messy conversations of how people become smarter, better, more nuanced, and more thoughtful." Today on Follow Friday, she explains how to use social media when disinformation is circulating after a tragedy, how she has evolved her thinking about politics online, why she's optimistic about a new online platform for the first time in a while, and much more.

For more than five years, Lindsay Ellis produced https://www.youtube.com/c/LindsayEllisVids (video essays on YouTube), analyzing everything from the Transformers movies to Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals to popular tropes in film and TV. And in 2020, after more than a decade of wanting to be an author, she published her first book — the bestselling sci-fi novel https://read.macmillan.com/lp/axioms-end/ (Axiom's End), which was informed by that same attentiveness to pop culture. After 9/11, she noticed, popular alien invasion stories had shifted from "goofy" stories to "dead serious" ones, like Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds. "It's an alternate history that takes place in the late 2000s," she says of the first book, which is getting a sequel in October called https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250274540 (Truth of the Divine). "Basically, it's what if first contact happened during the Bush administration? ... It's a thought experiment of how would we react if civilization has to keep on trucking the way we have, but now we have this great existential quandary that, at least in the universe of the book, is heavily politicized."

The term Bushido literally means the way of a warrior. It's been used in Japan since the 9th century when samurai soldiers bravely served their lords. Today, Bushido is seen as a collection of ideals that lead to fidelity to one's values and self-improvement. My guest, Yoichi Utebi, believes that Bushido can serve us well in dealing with our personal and collective challenges.  Yoichi Utebi is a movie producer and lecturer. Born in Japan, Yoichi grew up in Lebanon and the U.S. and where he was exposed to multiple cultures and ethnicities. After 12 years of experience in marketing and management in IT companies, Yoichi decided to join Happy Science, a spiritual movement in Japan, as a minister and lecturer, and produce movies. During our conversation, Yoichi talks about the Samurai's bushido code of conduct and ideals and how we can apply it in our lives. Bushido is showcased in his new movie “The Cherry Bushido” a film about a young devotee and group of friends who unite to protect Japan from the threat of extinction by its neighboring country.  If you liked what you heard, don't forget to like, rate, share and subscribe to this podcast.

Charlie Harding says he "procrastinates" by watching YouTube videos about sound design. But it's not an aimless hobby, because Charlie is a musician and the co-host of Switched on Pop, Vulture's podcast about the making and meaning of popular music. "Reporting on music, I'm like, 'I need to understand every little thing about how the songs are made,'" he says. "I frequently will actually recreate songs before I think about how to report on them, because I almost want to get inside the creative mind of the person making it."

Okawa teaches that whenever we face a challenge, no matter how seemingly formidable, we are really being given an opportunity to make a choice- to lose faith, rant at the wind and waves, and sail adrift, or maintain our convictions, take the helm, and navigate a happy and abundant future for ourselves and the world. To successfully stay the course through life's storms, however, we must know where we are headed. To hold fast, we must have a clear understanding of what our mission is and a strong mindset to steer us there. Finding our mission and developing the mindset muscle that will keep us on course takes awareness, intention, and effort. Okawa's personal journey led him to discover and commit to a mission much larger than most- to bring greater happiness to mankind by uniting all religions and cultures to live in harmony- but his inspiring story shows us how we can find our own North Star and stay true to it, no matter the circumstances. That story is told in Twiceborn, a new biopic that tells the story of Satoru, a highly successful businessman who relinquishes everything to pursue his true calling. Interview op Yoichi Utebi, Producer and spokesperson for Twiceborn Reviving Your Spiritual Warrior to Guide You Through Turbulent Times A new film from Japan, “The Cherry Bushido,” lands at the perfect time to remind us to re-examine our convictions and spiritual fortitude in the face of today's daunting challenges. Similar yet distinct from chivalry, the western code of honor handed down from the gallant knights of yore, Bushido is the organizing principle of samurai moral values and ethics that has been at the heart and soul of Japanese culture for centuries. Like chivalry, Bushido is typified by virtues like righteousness, benevolence, respect, honor, fidelity, and courage. Unlike the chivalric code, the true Bushido spirit is based on the belief that we are spiritual beings who will eventually return to the spiritual world. Having experienced relative peace and prosperity in recent years, many have relaxed their self-vigilance and blurred the convictions that can mean the difference between victory and defeat on the spiritual as well as physical plain. With the pandemic and the social, political, and geopolitical turbulence we are experiencing today, now is a good time to consider the Bushido spirit and virtues that can anchor and guide us to act on our beliefs in these trying times. Interview op: Yoichi Utebi, Producer, “The Cherry Bushido” Talk Points The meaning and history of Bushido The Bushido code of conduct and ideals The spiritual backbone of the Bushido spirit How to maintain spiritual fortitude 3 maxims to live by: Live each day as if it is your last Your thoughts determine your future Face fear squarely and fiercely The message behind “The Cherry Bushido” About Yoichi Utebi
