When scholars analyse Thai politics, they tend to give importance to institutions like the monarchy, the military, the parliament, and political parties; or, political ideas like ‘royalist nationalism' or democracy. But what if the real driver of Thai politics was none of these things, but instead, political families?  Yoshinori Nishizaki examines this proposition in his new book, Dynastic Democracy: Political Families in Thailand, which has just been published by University of Wisconsin Press in 2022. In this incredibly researched book, Nishizaki makes the powerful argument that it is the struggles between different political families have helped shape modern Thai politics. In pursuing this argument Nishizaki questions some of the major assumptions about Thailand's political history. The book's approach may also help us in understand the contemporary politics of other Southeast Asian countries.

Japan has disadvantages to score against European teams in normal play based on the players, but has other advantages which must be used optimally. Speed, manoeuvrability and agility are top priorities here. But Yoshinori was also in the USA for a while and got important insights into the training work of successful coaches from which he still benefits today. In the latest podcast episode he tells us which trainers these were and what things he still practices today.

Muy bienvenidos a una nueva edición de nuestra serie de podcasts Los maestros de la Música cuentan, en la cualviajamos a Japón. Carlitos, Ponja o el fueye que llegó desde Japón, eran los apodos que le daban a mi invitado de hoy: Yoshinori Yoneyama nació en Tokio el 18 de febrero del 1955.

Muy bienvenidos a una nueva edición de nuestra serie de podcasts Los maestros de la Música cuentan, en la cualviajamos a Japón. Carlitos, Ponja o el fueye que llegó desde Japón, eran los apodos que le daban a mi invitado de hoy: Yoshinori Yoneyama nació en Tokio el 18 de febrero del 1955. Descubrió el tango a los 11 años, gracias a unos discos de tango que sus padres tenían. La cumparsita, en la versión de Juan D'Arienzo, fue la que más le fascinó.  A los 17 años, sus padres le regalaron su primer bandoneón. Se lo habían comprado al bandoneonista Juan Carlos Niesi cuando actuó en Tokio haciendo una gira con la orquesta de Juan D'Arienzo. A partir de ese momento, el joven Yoshinori practicó día y noche. Dos años después encuentra a Julio Ahumadadurante una nueva gira de la orquesta de Juan D'Arienzo. Ahumada le promete enseñarle el bandoneon si Yoshinori se atreve a mudarse a Buenos Aires. Yoshinori no necesita que se lo digan dos veces y llega a Buenos Aires en julio de 1974, con solo 19 años. Cinco días a la semana Ahumada le da clases de las seis a las nueve de la tarde. El joven japonés hace tales progresos que Leopoldo Federico lo incorpora a su orquesta en 1976. Toca al lado del gran maestro durante 20 años. Pero integra también otras orquestas haciendo giras por todo el mundo. Recibe el apodo de Carlitos cuando esta de gira con José Basso. Basso le dice después de un concierto: „Te pareces tanto a mi hijo Carlitos!“ Otros le llaman Ponja, un intercambio de las sílabas de Japon. Cuando le entrevisté a Yoshinori en noviembre de 1996, había recién fundado su propia orquesta con jóvenes músicos de tango como Marcelo Nisiman y Christian Zarate. Durante casi 90 minutos me contó muchos detalles tan interesantes de su vida de bandoneonista en su ciudad de adopción, Buenos Aires: de sus clases con Julio Ahumada, de sus años tan apasionantes en la orquesta de Leopoldo Federico, sobre por qué el tango era tan popular en Japón y mucho más. Por esto, dedicamos 2 episodios de nuestra serie de podcasts a este "fueye que llegó de Japón", como homenaje al bandoneonista japonés Yoshinori Yoneyama, fallecido en 2006 con sólo 51 años.

black midi mit einer chaotischen wie faszinierenden Aufführung ihres zweiten Albums und Christopher könnte glücklicher kaum sein, dass nach den Alben von Black Country, New Road und Squid der Platten-Hattrick geglückt ist. Liebe auch für Skee Masks 100-Minuten-Brett, der sein Breakbeat- und Techno- Brocken als Überraschungsalbum über Nacht auf Bandcamp stellte und Streaming den Mittelfinger zeigte. Der sanfte RnB-Pop von Erika de Casier ist auch auf ihrem Nachfolger näher an MTV der 2000er als jede andere Künstlerin zurzeit und Fatima Al Qadiri huldigt auf ihrem neuen Konzept-Album den arabischen Poetinnen des Mittelalters.

On this episode of Video Games 2 the MAX hosts Sean Garmer and Marc Morrison discuss the delay of HALO Infinite and what it means for the Xbox Series X launch in November. Does it make things even grimmer for Microsoft in going up against Sony and the PlayStation 5, or could this be the time for shine for their services like Xbox Gamepass and X-Cloud. However, will Apple’s insistence on Consumer protection put a dent in those plans at least for IOS devices. Sean has a big problem with Apple’s statement of why they aren’t down with Microsoft’s services on IOS. The duo also discusses some of the announcements at the most recent Sony State of Play and what they are excited for the most like The Pathless, Spelunky 2 and the Control expansion.

Yoshinori Natsume, artist and writer of the Japanese manga Togari, tries his hand with an American icon with these first two issues of the four issue Batman: Death Mask. Bruce Wayne is having a bit of a mid-life crisis as he wonders who he really is. Is he Bruce Wayne masquerading as Batman or vice versa? Then he meets an employee of a Japanese corporation holding an art and culture exhibition in Gotham that reminds him of a girl he met 20 years ago in Japan. He was there for martial arts training, but he also encountered the malevolent spirit of a long dead warrior who threatened to possess him. Now the same spirit seems to be running around the city cutting off people's faces! My Grade for issues 1 and 2: B+

Togari Volume 2 by Yoshinori Natsume. Translated by Hiroko Yoda and Matt Alt. Published by Viz. First published in Japan in 2001 by Shogakukan. $9.99. Rated T+ for Older Teens. Tobei has been roasting in Hell for around 300 years, ever since he was executed at the young age of 16 for innumerable crimes. In those 300 years of torture and pain he has never once renounced his crimes or felt remorse. Now Lady Ema, the overseer of Hell, offers him a deal. If he can destroy 108 sins, called Toga, in 108 days, he can get out of Hell. He is given a wooden sword called Togari and sent to Earth. One of his guards, Ose, also accompanies him, mainly staying in the form of a dog. If he even thinks about committing a sin, his old execution wound opens. He is also not allowed to hurt the human host of a Toga. If he does, his head is in danger of falling off his body! Will human kindness be able to turn him away from his dark past of killing and stealing? My Grade: A-
