Scheduled date of broadcast: November 10th Thursday

Wafusohonke is a highly informative quiz program structured around the concept of "The good old days of Japan” and evokes the spirit of traditional Japan in the minds of today’s Japanese, who may not be too familiar with their own culture. With a popular line “Nippon te iina” (Japan is wonderful), the program comprises several segments that offer different contents under the theme "genuine Japanese culture."

We will ask for their impressions and questions about these cultural and traditional aspects of Japan that are overlooked by Japanese people or have become so commonplace they are no longer noticed. Through this project, we hope to rediscover Japan.
Audition dates

Middle of October (Two days and one night)

EarthSky's meteor shower -Orionids-
Posted Monday the 19th o October, 2009These meteors tend to be fast, occasionally leaving persistent trains and producing bright fireballs. They exhibit a maximum of about 15 meteors per hour. If you trace these meteors backwards, they seem to originate from the north of Orion’s bright ruddy star Betelgeuse. The Orionids have a broad and irregular peak that is difficult to predict.
Fortunately, it will be only a few days past new moon, ensuring dark skies for this year’s Orionid shower. More meteors tend to fly after midnight, and the Orionids are typically at their best in the wee hours before dawn. The best viewing time will probably be one to two hours before dawn on October 21. However, this shower is known to have several maxima which are not especially predictable, so a few days before or after the expected peak may offer a good meteor display.

TSUKIMI 2009
Posted Friday the 2nd o October, 2009Did you know about Tsukimi?
Tsukimi (月見), (sometimes written as Otsukimi) literally moon-viewing, refers to Japanese festivals honoring the autumn moon. The celebration of the full moon typically takes place on the 15th day of the eighth month of the traditional Japanese lunisolar calendar; the waxing moon is celebrated on the 13th day of the ninth month. These days normally fall in September and October of the modern solar calendar.
The Tsukimi custom was originally borrowed from the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival. The tradition is now so popular in Japan that some people repeat the activities for several evenings following the appearance of the full moon during the eighth lunisolar month.
Tsukimi traditions include displaying decorations made from Japanese pampas grass (susuki) and eating rice dumplings called Tsukimi dango in order to celebrate the beauty of the moon. Seasonal produce are also displayed as offerings to the moon. Sweet potatoes are offered to the full moon, while beans or chestnuts are offered to the waxing moon the following month. The alternate names of the celebrations, Imomeigetsu (literally "potato harvest moon") and Mamemeigetsu ("bean harvest moon") or Kurimeigetsu ("chestnut harvest moon") are derived from these offerings.

Outline of TOKYO GAME SHOW 2009
Posted Tuesday the 3rd o March, 20092009 theme: “Game, it’s so energetic!”
September 24 (Thu) - 27 (Sun) 2009 at Makuhari Messe
Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association
Nikkei Business Publications, Inc.
The Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association (CESA; Chairman: Yoichi Wada; Location:Minato-ku, Tokyo), in cooperation with
Nikkei Business Publications, Inc. (Nikkei BP; President & CEO: Yasuo Hirata; Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo), will hold the TOKYO GAME
SHOW 2009 over a four-day period from Thursday, September 24 to Sunday, September 27, 2009 at Makuhari Messe in Mihama-ku, Chiba
City, Chiba Prefecture. As in the previous two years, the first two days will be ‘business days’ while the latter two will be open
to the general public.
TOKYO GAME SHOW 2008 featured an impressive total of 1,768 booths, which even surpassed the record set by the 2007 show. A total of
879 titles were exhibited, another record, truly reflecting the active endeavors of the game industry to further expand the market.
Despite the sagging global economy, it is not only games market that is thriving today, but also the entire computer entertainment
market. From this strong foundation, TOKYO GAME SHOW 2009 aims to provide people all over the world with a wide variety of the very
latest information on games while further expanding the market both domestically and internationally.
In the sincere hope that games will cheer up and re-energized the world, “Game, it’s so energetic!” has been chosen as this year’s concept.
■ Theme: “Game, it’s so energetic !”
Filled with free thoughts and ideas, revolutionary stories, innovative expressions and creativity, games energize people.
Games fascinate players and creators alike, and there is always joyous air surrounding them.
Now that financial turbulence is casting its shadow and draining optimism from the world,
games should serve all the more to make the world a brighter, more fun place to live in.
TOKYO GAME SHOW 2009 hopes to cheer up the world through games.
This year’s show will also focus on these three objectives:
1. To act as a hub for up-to-the-minute information
2. To enhance the business side of the event and further internationalize it in terms of media appeal, visitors and exhibitors
3. To cater more to new and light game users.
To meet these objectives, the organizers are now steadily making preparations. They include the installment of a new “Advanced
Mobile & PC Area,” and the enhancement of press release distribution services in Europe and America.

Summer Hints: Summer rock festivals offer different vibes
Posted Tuesday the 8th o July, 2008With summer music festivals becoming an increasingly popular part of the music calendar around the world, every year sees tough competition to attract the best established acts and to showcase rising talent. As well as competing against each other, Japan's two premier events, three-day Fuji Rock Festival and two-day Summer Sonic, also compete to maintain year--on--year quality and to provide lineups that compare favorably with previous years.
Last year's Fuji Rock, the 11th, had a number of high points. Friday saw the Cure's triumphant return to Japan after 23 years, supported by Muse, reputedly rock's hottest live band. Saturday saw New York legends Iggy and The Stooges and the Beastie Boys, supported by Kaiser Chiefs and Kula Shaker.
While for many festival-goers Sunday was the climax, as Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra set up a good vibe, preparing the way for festival favorites The Chemical Brothers to unleash their big beat electro groove. And this was just the main Green Stage. The smaller stages saw performances by Groove Armada, Lily Allen, and Fountains of Wayne, among others. read more...
