Sho Sakurai goes to the romantic Miyajima Island on a two-day, one-night school trip with Shinichi Hatori, Eiji Kotoge, and Takashi Yoshimura on the "1 Oku 3000 Mannin no SHOW Channel" special

"The Nippon Television" variety show "1 Oku 3000 Mannin no SHOW Channel" "Adult Social Studies Field Trip SP", featuring Arashi's Sakurai Sho, announcer Hatori Shinichi, Biking's Kotoge Eiji, and "Heisei Nobushi kobushi'"s Yoshimura Takashi, will be broadcast from 14:35 p.m. to 16.00 p.m. on japanese time and on 6.35.-8.00 a.m. on european time 27.10.2024. This time, they will go on a two-day, one-night trip around Hiroshima and Hyogo.

Miyajima in Aki, home to the World Heritage Site Itsukushima Shrine, is a popular tourist destination visited by approximately 4.65 million tourists annually. It is counted among Japan's Three Most Scenic Views alongside Matsushima (Miyagi) and Amanohashidate (Kyoto), but we embark on a journey to discover why Miyajima was chosen as one of Japan's Three Most Scenic Views and why Itsukushima Shrine was built on the sea.

Arriving on Miyajima by ferry from the mainland, Sakurai and his friends are astonished to discover that, although the island is inhabited, there is absolutely no "that" on the island. What is that "that" that does not exist on Miyajima, which is known as the "island of the gods"? Having suddenly come into contact with the mysteries of Miyajima, Sakurai and his friends learn about the unknown relationship between Miyajima and Taira no Kiyomori, and the secret hidden in the large torii gate that stands on the sea, as they walk along the approach to the island with historical writer Kawai.

The shrine building style of Itsukushima Shrine, which incorporates the Shinden-zukuri style of the Heian period, is one with the sea and the mountains, boasting an unparalleled beauty. When you look around with your back to the worship hall, you will see a mysterious sight. Yoshimura, a history lover, is excited to learn the reason why Miyajima was chosen as one of the Three Most Scenic Views of Japan, and the romantic untold story behind it.

Afterwards, they will enjoy the trip atmosphere by eating local gourmet food at the Omotesando shopping arcade in Miyajima and making their own original rice scoops. They will also enjoy piping hot conger eel rice at a famous conger eel restaurant that is frequented by many celebrities.

After filling their stomachs, they head to Mount Misen, which towers behind Itsukushima Shrine. It is said that if they reach the top of the mountain, they will understand why Miyajima is called the "Island of the Gods." They take a ropeway to the middle of the mountain, and then walk for 30 minutes to the top. After seeing some amazing sights and finally relaxing in the hot springs of a long-established inn, Sakurai and his friends head to their next destination, Kobe.

The second day of the trip starts in Kobe. They elegantly enjoy the "world's best breakfast," created by a French master and said to have captivated the French president and Hollywood actors. After a luxurious morning, they head to their destination, Kawasaki World. It is an experiential museum where you can "see, touch, and learn" about the products created by the Kawasaki Heavy Industries Group, well known for its Kawasaki motorcycles. Kotoge, a motorcycle enthusiast who had been bossed around by the history-loving members up until now, is excited to see it.

The predecessor of Kawasaki Heavy Industries was a shipyard established in 1878 (Meiji 11) by Kawasaki Shozo, known as the king of shipbuilding. How did Kawasaki Heavy Industries, which was originally a shipbuilding company, become famous for motorcycles? Learn about the surprising history of the company, which not only made ships and motorcycles, but also made everyday items that everyone uses at home and Japan's first ○○, as well as its incredible achievements in Europe.

The company that Kawasaki Heavy Industries is currently focusing on is "that business" that is attracting attention as the next generation of energy. Learn about Kawasaki's amazing technology, which is a world first and has an eye on the future.

At the National Museum of Western Art, where the exhibition ``Does the Future Sleep Here? - Revisiting the museum's response to contemporary art after 65 years'' opens tomorrow, the 12th, artists participating in the exhibition held a protest against Israel's invasion of Palestine. The protest was carried out by "citizens, mainly volunteers from the artists participating in the exhibition." "We strongly and strongly oppose the Israeli government's genocide that is currently occurring in Palestine," they said, calling on Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., an official partner of the National Museum of Western Art, to stop importing Israeli weapons. They also appealed to the National Museum of Western Art to urge Kawasaki Heavy Industries to immediately stop importing and selling Israeli weapons. According to Tokyo Art Beat's interviews with volunteers, the protest was carried out without informing the museum in advance, and only some of the participating artists had shared the information with them in advance. The protest took place in the lobby in front of the museum's special exhibition room. A preview for the press was held from 12:30 noon, and the person in charge of planning was giving an explanation, but one of the participating artists, Yuki Iiyama, suddenly stood up and read out a statement of protest. Afterwards, a banner reading ``Kawasaki Heavy Industries/Don't be complicit in the massacre'' was hung from the upper floor toward the press, and chants erupted, causing a momentary uproar in the venue.

[...]

In addition, shortly after 4:00 p.m., while the general preview was being held, Mai Endo, an artist participating in this exhibition, and Fumi Momose, an artist who has collaborated with Endo in the past, protested in a guerrilla manner in front of the special exhibition room. Wearing costumes that appeared to be soaked in blood, the two people walked slowly through the room in silence, holding hands and holding banners, demonstrating their intention to protest against the invasion of Gaza.

Kawasaki Z1 production began in 1972 as the most powerful Japanese 4-cylinder 4-stroke ever marketed.

The Kawasaki Z1 is a four-cylinder, air-cooled, double-overhead camshaft, carbureted, chain-drive motorcycle introduced in 1972 by Kawasaki. Following the introduction of Honda's CB750 in 1968, the Z1 helped popularize the in-line, across-the-frame four-cylinder, a format that became known as the Universal Japanese Motorcycle or UJM.

ManufacturerKawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd.Also calledKawasaki 900 Super Four Production1972–1975; 85,000 units. Marketed variously as the Z1-900, 900 Z1 or 900 S4 ("Super Four"), the Z1 was the first of Kawasaki's Z models.

The Z1 was noted for being the first large-capacity Japanese four-cylinder motorcycle to use the double-overhead-camshaft system on a production motorcycle. When it was introduced, only the MV Agusta 750 S used this system; it was a very expensive limited-production machine, as opposed to the Kawasaki which was less than half the price.

The Kawasaki Z1 was developed under the project name "New York Steak".In the late 1960s Kawasaki, already an established manufacturer of two-stroke motorcycles, had begun prototyping a 750 cc four-cylinder four-stroke sports motorcycle working with McFarlane Design in 1969 to develop the bike's overall appearance. When Honda introduced the CB750 to the market first, Kawasaki postponed the Z1's release until its displacement could be increased to 903 cc and the motorcycle could be marketed in the 1000cc-class.

In 1972, the Z1 set the world FIM and AMA record for 24-hour endurance on the banked Daytona racetrack, recording 2,631 miles at an average speed of 109.64 mph. Writing in 1976, LJK Setright commented that this record was only 0.36% faster than the previous figure set in 1961 at Montlhéry, France, by a team using a modified BMW R69S, particularly the engine. Also at this time at Daytona a one-off Z1 ridden by Yvon Duhamel that was tuned by Yoshimura set a one-lap record of 160.288 mph.

The Z1 was awarded the MCN 'Machine of the Year' accolade each year from 1973 to 1976 (an award resulting from a readers' opinion-poll run by UK weekly publication Motorcycle News) The Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan (in Japanese) includes the 1972 Z1 as one of their 240 Landmarks of Japanese Automotive Technology.

The basic design of the Z1 remained relatively unchanged until 1975, when the 903 cc "Z1-B" was introduced, with changes including increased power output, improved suspension, and a stiffer frame. The automatic chain oiler was deleted, the styling was revised – essentially paint scheme and side-panel nomenclature – and the braking was improved.

In 1976 the Z1 was replaced by the Kawasaki KZ900 in the U.S. and Z900 in other markets. This was succeeded by the 1977 Kawasaki Kz1000 ("Z1000") and Kawasaki Z1000 Z1-R, and in 1984 by the Kawasaki Z1100R.

"Stick an aircraft engine in it" part 1 - Boeing Jetfoil

In the late 60s and early 70s, all branches of transport were hoping for an increase in performance similar to what the jet airliner brought to aviation, and the solution was invariably to use similar gas turbine technology, with invariably identical career trajectories when the oil crises hit, as, apart from in aviation, far more economical engine options were available. So I was very surprised to see this still active in Japan last summer:

This is a hydrofoil which uses gas turbines to power a pump-jet. Once it is going fast enough, it takes off and runs on foils, greatly reducing water resistance and achieving speeds up to 45 knots, over 80 km/h (which, on water, is very fast). I remember seeing exactly this type of vessel in ferry brochures when I was a child; Oostende Lines operated some between England and Belgium. The advent of the SeaCat, a class of huge Diesel-powered car-carrying catamarans, got the better of the hydrofoils and the hovercraft, which was incidentally another case of "stick an aircraft engine in it".

This specific class of hydrofoil takes the mantra to another level, as it was designed by Boeing, which named it the 929 Jetfoil. Production was licensed to Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Japan, which made boats for the domestic market. The Rainbow Jet is one of these, running between Sakaiminato on the San'in coast and the Oki Islands. I saw more of them at Atami in Eastern Shizuoka, providing transport to the Izu Islands. So, despite the astronomical 2150 L/h consumption (though to be fair, I can't find consumption numbers for equivalent foot passenger-only catamarans), Japan still runs them...

Part 5 of SMRT Rolling Stock Preview. You guys have been waiting for these 2 brothers to be previewed. Well, here it is! The 5th and 6th gen series rolling stock in the Kawasaki family.

Let me introduce you the two names. They are Kawasaki Heavy Industries & CSR Qingdao Sifang C151B and Kawasaki Heavy Industries & CRRC Qingdao Sifang C151C. Lots of people said that these train are the same variety but what about the designs? Well observation shows they are different. Let me run through the scale on these brothers.

First off is the C151B trains also known as KSF B. The Kawasaki Heavy Industries & CSR Qingdao Sifang C151B is the 5th generation rolling stock in SMRT that was manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries & CRRC Qingdao Sifang.

The C151B trains has it's specialized SMRT livery more commonly to the refurbished C651 (SIE). The interior on the train has no foldable seats. About the same average to the KSF A trains. The KSF B trains were manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries CRRC Qingdao Sifang and was built in Qingdao Shandong China together with the KSF C trains.

There is a huge TV screen (Staris 2.0) that shows the station information displays and advertisements. With regards on the CBTC signalling system on the North South & East West Lines, the newly freshed C151B trains were delivered to Singapore on 12 April 2017.

Under the Tuas West Extension on the East West Lines, the KSF B trains went through rigorous testing in train depots & on the mainlines to ensure the signaling system works and passenger comfort. On the 16 April 2017, first EMU set 601/602 made its debut on the North South Line for passenger service operations.

The Tuas West Extension made its opening for commuters on 16 June 2017 whereas additional of C151B train sets were also made its debut on the East West Lines during train service operations.

Lastly on the 6 May 2018, the KSF B trains deployed on the whole section on the East West Line for the CBTC signalling system full day trials.

Moving onto, the Kawasaki Heavy Industries & CRRC Qingdao Sifang C151C. One of it's greatest livery that showed the red and green symbolized the mainlines. The front logo on the driving trailer was placed by the word Land Transport Authority.

The KSF C trains is the 6th generation rolling stock series that was deployed on the North South Line on 30 September 2018 during its debut day. At Tuas West Depot, EMU set 703/704 was shown in the video preview. Inside of it, there are tip-up seats, original seatings and the Staris 2.0 more similar to the KSF B.

The tip-up seats for its purpose was to have more standing and sitting capacity for commuters.

The KSF C trains were manufactured by Kawasaki Rail Car Corp CRRC Qingdao Sifang and was built in Qingdao Shandong China. In addition, more C151C trains were purchased for more train service capacity.

During the debut day, EMU sets 701/702 & 703/704 was the first set to be deployed on the North South Line operations. But then, as the debut day went by, 703/704 had returned to the train depot due to defects on the train while 701/702 was running.

Today, all the spamming deployments of KSF trains on the North South Line are common, some of them are East West Deployments.

That's all for part 5 of SMRT rolling stock preview! Now you have a clear and better understanding about these two brothers. Same same but different. Stay tuned for more preview updates on Tumblr!

Not exactly our usual post this one. If you have come here hoping for some more stories of the cock up's we have made. Or a review of a funfair manufacturer. Then I can only apologise. The only connection we have with the star of this post, is that we are now based in Yorkshire. Oh, and I have a pilots licence, though not for rotary craft (helicopters). Most of us drive. Some of us quite a lot. A split second mistake could be disastrous, leaving any of us with serious injuries, possibly life threatening. At times like that we are quite likely to need these guys. So letting everyone know about them is always worthwhile. History Of The Air Ambulance The first air ambulance service started in 1933. With a flight from Wideford Airport in Orkney. A night time flight was made from the same location in February 1939 using car headlights to help during the take off and landing. The aircraft, registration G-ACEW was a General Aircraft Monospar. This was a fixed wing aircraft (think aeroplane) rather than the more common helicopters you see today. Both types of aircraft have their advantages. Fixed wing tend to be faster and have a longer range. Heli's the ability to land in small spaces such as on a minor road, or in an industrial estate. Emergency Air Ambulances Generally the modern service is based on helicopters. These are used to respond to medical emergencies in support of land based ambulances. Nearly all of them are charity funded. With the charities either owning the aircraft directly, or contracting in private service providers. The staff are usually seconded from the NHS and local ambulance services. There are a surprising number of Air services around the UK covering most of the country. Yorkshire Our local service was established in October 2000. Currently they operate two Airbus H145 aircraft. Like most of the services they are reliant solely on the donations of individuals and organisations. Originally developed between Airbus and Kawasaki Heavy Industries. The craft is basically the front end of Eurocopters EC135 and the rear of a BK117 C1 helicopter. A previous joint production between the two companies. Nostell Priory Base The charity was originally based in Nostell Priory, an estate in Yorkshire that was purchased by the Winn family in 1654. A family that originally made its fortune in the textile trade in London during Tudor times. The first active heli, was based at Leeds/Bradford airport, where overnight maintenance facilities allowed a high state of readiness. A new operations centre was built and became operational at Nostell in 2013, including a hanger and aircrew accommodation and the aircraft moved to that base. A second aircraft and base was opened in Sheffield in 2007, but closed a year later. With the aircraft being rebased first at Bagby in Thirsk, then eventually sharing a base at RAF Topcliffe with the 645 Gliding Squadron. There are landing pads for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance at most of the major regional hospitals including Leeds, Hull and Middlesbrough allowing high speed patient delivery straight to casualty.

Richard Hammond One of the services most high profile cases was the high speed crash suffered by Top Gear presenter Richard Hammond at Elvington airfield. Hammond was driving a jet powered drag car called Vampire, powered by a Bristol-Siddeley Orpheus turbojet engine, when he crashed at 319 MPH. He was airlifted to Leeds General Infirmary by the aircrew and spent five weeks recovering, including two weeks in a severe coma. The Yorkshire Air Ambulance relies entirely on charity donations. head over to their website and check out some of the merchandise on sale to support their operations.
