Asahidake foliage peaks
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20200928_31/
Tourists are enjoying the colorful autumn foliage at Mount Asahidake, the highest peak in Hokkaido, northern Japan.
Every year, large crowds visit the mountain to see Japan's first autumn foliage of the season. The top of the mountain is nearly 2,300 meters above sea level.
The operator of a cable car service says the leaves started to change colors near the summit early this month as usual.
The best view can be seen from a cable car station about a half way up the peak. Visitors were taking pictures of the red and yellow foliage.
The first snow of the season on Asahidake was observed on Saturday, and snow now covers the mountaintop.
A woman from Saitama Prefecture near Tokyo says she is really impressed with the contrast of the red leaves and the snow.
The autumn foliage will remain through mid-October.
「SUSUKINO BEAT」

すすきののミュージシャンが異例の結集
道内経済に暗い影をもたらした新型コロナウイルス感染拡大。中でも、北海道最大の繁華街、札幌すすきのは道内でも最も大きな影響を受けた地域の一つです。老舗ライブバーは閉店を決断し、全国ニュースにもなりました。新北海道スタイルに適応し、耐え忍びながらも少しずつ疲弊しているといいます。
そんな札幌すすきのに元気を取り戻したいとの思いから、「SUSUKINO BEATプロジェクト」が始動。普段はライバル関係にあるすすきののミュージシャンたちが、今回ばかりは結集し、すすきのを応援する楽曲「SUSUKINO BEAT（ススキノビート）」を制作しました。
仕掛け人は、48年続く老舗ナイトクラブ「ナイトイン21世紀」を経営する株式会社MACHの長谷川雅弘社長。同店も北海道知事の緊急事態宣言後から6月8日まで休業しましたが、この間に作曲、作詞、音づくりに専念し、7月上旬に市内のスタジオで12時間以上かけて録音。撮影は7月下旬にはじめ、8月中旬に編集が完了しました。いずれもソーシャルディスタンスを意識しながら制作を進めました。
長谷川社長は、「人を元気づけるパワーがある音楽と映像の融合を目指した。音楽だけでは伝えきれない切なさや、やるせなさ、勇気やパワーを音楽にのせて表現できればと思い企画制作した」と話しています。
すすきのの13名のアーティストが参加
プロジェクトは、ナイトイン21世紀が中心となりプロデュース。呼びかけに応じた8名がススキノオールスターズのボーカルとして参加したほか、ギター、ベース、キーボード、ドラムの4名で構成するBAND Gap’sが参加しました。

また、PVには札幌市電やニッカウイスキーの看板などおなじみのすすきのの風景とともに店舗が次々と映し出されます。キリンビール園、はちきょう本店、成吉思汗なまら、ラウンドワン札幌すすきの店など、飲食店からアミューズメントショップまで、約30店舗が撮影に参加協力しています。
楽曲「SUSUKINO BEAT」のCDおよびDVD、ネット販売は9月10日に予約受付開始、10月21日に全国発売予定のほか、各店で予約も可。店頭販売は税込み2,000円で、ネット販売は別途送料200円。収益は、プロジェクトに参加したライブバー関係者、ショートフィルムPVで出演した店舗に分配されます。
今回の楽曲公開について、「すすきので働くすべての人達へのエールソング。全国に世界に少しでも明るいニュースが届くことを願っている」としています。

Health Alert - U.S. Embassy Tokyo (August 5, 2020)
Health Alert – U.S. Embassy Tokyo (August 5, 2020)
Location: Japan
Date: August 5, 2020
State of COVID-19 Measures in JapanThe U.S. Embassy and consulates continue to monitor closely the COVID-19 outbreak in Japan. Case numbers in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Okinawa, and in other areas across Japan have risen significantly in the past two weeks, and many prefectural officials are requesting residents comply with specific mitigation efforts centered around refraining from visiting nightlife establishments and other non-essential outings and travel.
In Okinawa, on July 31 Governor Tamaki implemented a state of emergency and requested that residents avoid non-essential outings. He also urged residents to refrain from travel to mainland Japan and asked that travelers from outside Okinawa carefully consider whether they should travel to the islands.
In Hokkaido, on July 27 Governor Suzuki asked residents to carefully consider the necessity of travel outside of Hokkaido.
In Kyushu, some local governors including those in Miyazaki, Nagasaki, and Kumamoto have issued local guidelines or updated alert levels.
In Tokyo, Governor Koike continues to urge residents to avoid restaurants and other service establishments that lack proper infection-control and social distancing measures and has asked bars and restaurants to limit their hours. She also requests that Tokyo residents refrain from crossing prefectural borders unless necessary. More information on the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s recommendations can found here.
In the Kansai area, including Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto, COVID-19 cases have steadily increased. New cases have mainly occurred in entertainment establishments, prompting Osaka Governor Yoshima to urge the public to limit gatherings to no more than 5 people and to increase…
DAISUKE NIIYAMA
Cruising the ocean frontage roads of Tomakomai we stopped to admire this little garden paradise. The owner popped out to welcome us. He once owned a cabaret club in Chitose many years ago, now at 75 he is retired and his enjoyment is to create this garden so everyone can see. He collects the sun powered bobble head toys, he claims to have over 300. As we talked I enjoyed the sound of the surf pounding & fresh salty sea air. I want to go back and visit him, record his stories on tape and bring him a solar powered toy for his collection.
Chitose Dam 千歳ダム
Fun hike to visit an 100 year old dam with historic brick building. Park at the 水明郷パーキング Suimeikyo parking lot and walk the bike trail west towards the lake. Eventually you see an electric transformer station to the right. It is fenced off, avoid this of course. But right before it you will notice a deer trail. Follow the deer trail towards the river, you will reach a very steep embankment, look for the abandoned (man made) old pack mule trail that has a winding path down the mountain. Follow it to the dam. Do not enter the building or walk on the dam, it has staff working and visiting. Bring a picnic and enjoy the view. You could follow the access road west to get back to the bike trail. While in the forest look for deer antlers.

Konnichiwa, like to share some feel good stories from Hokkaido Japan. Few months ago I attended a music gig at a small cafe near my house. The party was most excellent. I have since returned to the cafe for food & coffee and was very surprised to learn the origin story. The owner is a Japanese woman, an artist, who about 8 years ago watched a film about a cute cafe in Helsinki Finland. The film is a good heart warming story. She was deeply touched and moved by the film so much that she re-created the cafe in my town, the feels, the vibes, the food, etc. I was just there today and had delicious food, great coffee and best of all, awesome people. The cafe is now celebrating 7 years of being open and is rocking out. Of course the virus situation has us all stressed and she only has very limited hours, maybe 2 afternoons a week open. It is wild as now after watching the film I really want to visit Finland. I am touched also. There is this mystery vibe connection tween Finland and my area, Hokkaido Japan. So strong that Finland Air even started weekly direct flights to my remote island. I was honored as the staff invited me to join them in the future when they will host board game nights. I think it is amazing that a person can watch a movie and be so inspired to try and bring that vibe to their own world and make it reality. It worked! So cheers to the artists who create such stirring works and cheers to the fans who admire and are deeply moved by such works ❤️
