US intends to send second aircraft carrier to the coast of Israel

The ship was already scheduled to be deployed, but the Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, could order it to the eastern Mediterranean.

The U.S. may soon have two aircraft carriers in the Eastern Mediterranean, according to Department of Defense officials, a measure that would mark a major escalation of U.S. military power in the region as fighting intensifies between Israeli forces and Hamas militants.

The aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, along with his warships and associated fighters, was already scheduled to depart from Norfolk, Virginia, this week and may receive an order to travel to the waters off the coast of Israel, according to two Department of Defense officials who asked for anonymity when discussing future operations.

The Eisenhower group has long been scheduled to be deployed and operate near Europe, Department of Defense spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Bryon McGarry said in a statement on Tuesday.

The ship is scheduled to leave Norfolk on Friday and can reach the eastern Mediterranean by the end of October if requested, said one of the department's officials. At this point, the Eisenhower would join the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R Ford and its attack group, which the Pentagon ordered to the waters off Israel on Sunday as a show of force after the surprise attacks on southern Israel.

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin will continue to review the deployment plans of both ships, “while considering the appropriate balance of maritime capacity in all theaters of operations in support of national security priorities,” McGarry said.

The rare decision to potentially have two aircraft carriers, which are accompanied by cruisers, destroyers and fighters as part of their attack groups, in the same area would be an important signal to Hamas that the U.S. military is supporting Israel as much as possible.

The Pentagon sent two aircraft carriers to the Middle East in March 2020, in a context of growing tension with Iran. At the time, both Eisenhower and the USS Harry S. Truman, with their respective escorts, operated in the Arabian Sea.

But the double aircraft carrier strategy has severely overloaded the Navy in the past, with force leaders warning that it was unsustainable. Aircraft carriers are highly sought after around the world and are usually spread across different regions.

The Wall Street Journal first reported that the U.S. was considering sending Eisenhower to the coast of Israel.

Throughout his childhood, he was primarily raised by his paternal grandparents as his mother was kicked out of her home when she was pregnant with him. His parents were gone most of the time, working hard to finish their studies, and after graduating, spent most of their time working instead of raising him. As Donghyeon grew, it was obvious that he had a thing for music, courtesy of his grandparents. They made sure that he could develop his dancing abilities more, paying a private tutor to teach him and later encouraging him to audition for KQ Entertainment when he was sixteen years old. He passed the audition and trained there for three years, even training with the pre debut group that had then been known as KQ Fellaz. However, in May of 2018, he suddenly left both the group and the company, instead signing with STARBORN CREATIVE. This sparked rumors and speculation among fans, which were never addressed. Donghyeon went on to train for a few more months before debuting in WANDERLUST.

『照れくさい距離感を雪が優しく近付ける』

[774]

一見して年を追うごとに、50代以上が占める割合（赤系の色）が徐々に大きくなってきていることが見てとれます。そのなかでも21年に着目してみましょう。この年の初出場者において、50代以上の生活者が多く検索している上位3組は、布袋寅泰さん、Snow Manさん、藤井風さんでした。 布袋寅泰さんのデビューは1981年（BOOWYとしての場合）で現在61歳ですから、50代以上の生活者によっては自分と年齢が近く、楽曲に聞き覚えのある方も多いと思われます。 ところがSnow ManさんのCDデビューは2020年、藤井風さんのメジャーデビューも20年です。またSnow Manさんの平均年齢は当時20代後半、藤井風さんの年齢は当時20代前半ですから、「自分と年齢が近い」とは決していえません。にもかかわらず、50代以上の生活者は、10代や20代の生活者以上にこの2組の初出場者に興味を抱いて検索しているということが分かります。 また直近の22年に着目してみても、50代以上が特に検索しているのは、ロックバンドのback numberさん、ダンスボーカルグループのBE:FIRSTさんとJO1さん、そしてアニメーションキャラクターのウタさんなど、幅広いジャンルに及んでいます。それだけこの年代が、特定のジャンルをより好みせず興味を抱いている様子がうかがえます。

JO1’s Shiroiwa Ruki: I didn’t know how to listen to this radio and my mission became…

(This article is a re-edited version of the one that released in Nikkei Entertainment’s December 2022 issue)

JO1 All Night Nippon X airs with Shiroiwa Ruki as the main personality and two other members of the 11 member global boy group JO1 as weekly changing personalities. “I even had no idea how to listen to this radio”, emphatically stated the 24 year old Shiroiwa regarding his mission for the program, “that’s why I felt there was a meaning in me doing this”.

Shiroiwa Ruki, born 19th November 1997, from the prefecture Tokyo. He was chosen to become a member of the 11 member global boy group “JO1” through the audition show “PRODUCE 101 JAPAN” in 2019. Their momentum continues to speed up in their third year, as their newest single “MIDNIGHT SUN” , released in October 2022, surpassed their previous sales with more than 600.000 copies sold in the first week and the music video for the lead track “SuperCali” gained more than 30 Mio views in less than 2 weeks.

JO1 All Night Nippon X (ANNX) began as a special episode in March 2022 and started to air regularly from 6th April. From the first episode on the official hashtag “#JO1ANNX” surpassed 100.000 tweets and ranked 1st in the worldwide Twitter trends. Since then it keeps on ranking at the top of the trends. Shiroiwa Ruki, who serves as the main personality of the program, said he was surprised to be chosen for this.

Even though I’m not really familiar with radio programs, I, of course, knew the name of “All Night Nippon”. Thus, I felt a huge amount of anxiety when it was decided that I would be the main personality for this big program which has a long history. However, I believe that JO1 was chosen with a certain expectation and since we made our debut in 2020, the year the Covid pandemic started, which made us a group which had troubles to interact with their fans, we felt happy to have the opportunity to share time with them through such a live broadcast.

When the program became a regular feature and I was asked to become the main personality, I honestly felt pressure and surprise to be chosen out of all the members. Because actually, when I am with all 11 members I barely talk and the same goes when I appear on variety programs. Hence, when I asked the manager “Why me?”, he told me that he has watched my activities so far (and that’s why it was decided) and it gave me a lot of confidence.

So far I had never found a role that would benefit the group activities. However, when I was appointed as the main personality, I realized that this may not have been the case. For me, "ANNX" is more than just a radio job.

this is late but on MAMA 2020 (I did miss some perfomances, I woke up at 4am for it and drifted in and out so I ended up missing NCT and Seventeen live and haven’t rewatched yet) 

1. BTS was incredible as always, that goes without saying anymore. I WILL say I loved the dance breaks for MMA even more, but LGO for MAMA was so beautiful. Also them calling Yoongi was the highlight of the night (morning) for me. Namjoon?? Hobi??? stunning

2. Oh My Girl and Gidle wasn’t as exciting for me, I usually expect a lot from Gidle considering last years good performances too, just didn’t hold my interets much 

3. TXT did amazing, their disco section and cover of dynamite?? they get better and better 

4. The big one: TBZ x Skz x Ateez was incredible, the boyz always surprises and interests me (I like Juyeon and eric) but I don’t have the space in my brain rn for another big group. 

For skz and ateez, after BTS ateez is my 2nd favorite group and skz my 3rd but there’s barely a difference, it was so cool to see them on this stage. Ateez i really wish had a full stage for Inception bc of how beautiful it is but i was so happy to see them do Answer, they kill live stages jesus and SAN like...SAN??? Juyeon and Hyunjin the trio jesus. And jongho ofc my bias 

anyway i’m both excited for and dreading kingdom but the performance was great and i’d have given anything to be able to watch live idol reactions to it but oh well 

I’m not ready for Kingdom and I’m especially not ready for the fandom wars that will happen so ahah great

5. Twice...gorgeous, perfect, beautiful, amazing jihyo is everything to me 

6. ATEEZ TWO AWARDS??? good

10. Monsta x and cravity was cool to watch, talented ass kids, always love seeing MX perform...they deserved a solo stage though

11. GOT7??? NOT BY THE MOON AND LAST PIECE?? two of my fav songs this year but once again...only 7 min stage they deserved 10 minimum

12. JO1 was really good too I’d never seen them before I know theyre a produce group right? 

13. Enhypen i liked too

14. Treasure is good their music just isn’t for me, and after what yg did to Hanbin i’ll never get into a yg group again 

i’ll probably think of more but it was 6 hours and i’m still tired a day and a half later 

WAIT TAEMIN AND BOA

TAEMIN WON WHICH WAS DESERVED AS HELL AND BOA WOW

“There was only 1 train per hour” “My school was almost closed”

Sano Fumiya from the Yoshimoto artist OWV - From a depopulated town to a national artist

Sano Fumiya (25), part of the 4 member boy group OWV signed to Yoshimoto Kyogo, went viral for his Tweets after performing at an event in his home prefecture Yamanashi.

“The school I attended was almost closed […] I, who comes from an area where only one train per hour operates, is active as a member of OWV now. I want to embody that everyone can make their dreams come true no matter the environment (in which they grew up).”

With us he spoke about his journey from growing up in a depopulated town, where no dance classes existed, to stepping to the entertainment business on a path he had carved out all by himself, as well as of his feelings to the children of his hometown.

He made his CD debut in September 2020 following his appearance on the audition program “PRODUCE 101 JAPAN” (2019) which produced JO1. Now he is performing at concerts, appearing in variety shows and has activities nationwide. Before he participated in the audition, he was a professional dancer who danced in the background of famous singers.

Until his highschool graduation he lived in a rural town of which he said “There were more monkeys than humans.”. Only one train per hour operated there and it took a 1-2 hour journey to the nearest town center. “The kindergarten, the elementary school and the middle school I attended have all closed down by now. In elementary school there were only 9 children in my class and in the year below there were only 3 children.”, he explained.

Due to the small number of students in his middle school, there were only two clubs available: baseball and brass band. “If I wanted to do some sport, baseball was the only option.” After reading the manga ‘SLAM DUNK’ he had started to wish for a basketball club, but his options were limited.
