>I hope this means Chiyoko Ueno is on the anime itself. Great artist.

Good timing, they just tweeted out the staff for episode 1 on the show’s twitter. She’s one of ADs on it.

SB: Motonobu Hori, Yasushi Muraki

ED: Motonobu Hori

Asst. ED: Masayuki Otsuki

Chara AD: Toshihiro Kawamoto, Takashi Tomioka, Chiyoko Ueno

Mecha AD: Kenta Yokoya

To bring the joy of discovery to the people of the world

Work: Metallic Rouge Publication: Newtype Jan.2024 Artist: Chiyoku Ueno (genga), Hiroko Umezaki (finishing)

Summary of text:

>Yutaka Izubuchi rules and you should think it's cool that he's making a show at Bones (this is true) >Metallic Rouge is a buddy action show on the backdrop of Space Politics and robots etc. etc. >Izubuchi was out drinking and realized he wanted to make a cartoon with lots of worldbuilding, but those kinds of projects are expensive >Over the course of years, he (and Minami?) considered that overseas streaming might make original anime easier to fund >Izubuchi mainly handles the design and worldbuilding elements, Hori handles other directorial tasks (esp. visual elements) >Bunch of elite designers for various aspects gathered under Izubuchi >Izubuchi and Nemoto worked out the story together >Masahiko Minami claims to have been surprised by how much the seiyuu performances added to the whole >Iwasaki's soundtrack builds on the overall feel of the world >Minami says original anime are fun because nobody knows what's going to happen >The world is dark, but the tone isn't; Rouge and Naomi are a fun duo

Observations:

>Carole & Tuesday would have been Metallic Rouge's predecessor in the overseas funding strategy. I gotta wonder if Minami is misreading overseas tastes based on impressions from two decades ago… >Everyone involved seems to think the music aspect is really important. Iwasaki talks here about how he's constantly thinking about things like "what kind of music do these people listen to?" Japanese coverage of the same event elaborates that this is why they brought on multiple composers – one composer couldn't get the right variety. It's probably meaningful in itself that Iwasaki is one of the guests they flew out to promote the thing. >The Izubuchi/Hori split sounds a lot like the Leiji Matsumoto/Noboru Ishiguro split for the original Space Battleship Yamato >I love good space politics, so I'm excited for this >I wish we got to see more of this visual design in the trailer. The way they describe it reminds me of Royal Space Force – how that society had an extremely distinct but well grounded material culture. >I hope this means Chiyoko Ueno is on the anime itself. Great artist.

a)The Rocket Gang Nyarth is laid up with a cold. Musashi and Kojiro from the Rocket Gang, who have thus far been relying on his interpretations to understand what Satoshi's Pikachu talks about, decide to take the opportunity to train themselves so they can understand it on their own! To do this, they watch video footage of Pikachu that they've secretly recorded and dub over it...?! b) In a forest after a rainfall, Satoshi and Go encounter Numacraw that are stuck in the ground! And while the duo is doing its best trying to do something to help them, a Runpappa appears before them?!

To solve the Daimax mystery, Satoshi and Go decided to visit the Galar region and see Professor Magnolia, the leading authority on Daimax research, but on their way there the duo got separated while in a forest shrouded in thick mist, where they encountered some mysterious Pokémon.

2022/07/09 English

After a long night, I worked early. I did my work as usual. As I had written yesterday, I believe that living our daily life steadily and controlling ourselves properly should be the best way to survive this emergency state. No surrender to terrorism... If I find the meaning in my work, that must be to help the people's ordinary lives and support their peaceful lives. That idea gives me a certain motivation of working which sometimes I lose the purpose. With Kiyoshiro Imawano's songs, I did my best.

To tell the truth, my current job isn't the one I had wanted to do. After graduating my university, I couldn't find any job and immediately started as 'the work for bread' as Kafka says. Even now I almost lose the touch of helping someone's life exactly. This work must be the work everyone could do... Indeed, once I believed so. Now I feel that the work supports me well. Through the work, I can control or bring myself up... Can I walk forward to live a stoic life like Eric Hoffer, who worked at a bay and weaved his philosophy?

After dinner, I talked with a staff of my group home. I am interested in the fact that she is reading a biography about Yasushi Sato. I have never read Sato's book. Ah, a lot of books are there, in this world... now I can't read because of the incident about Shinzo Abe, but I would read Douglas Richard Hofstadter’s books if I could read again. Oh my gosh, in any situation, I read books. Like my work, reading might be the duty of controlling myself.

The night, maybe because the incident about Abe had affected me, I slept well and could do nothing. Watching Twitter, I found that the incident still shakes the atmosphere of the internet. A user wrote that 'Abe should be killed'. It made me sick... Although I think about Abe negatively, I won't respect the person who forgets the common sense of "we should be treated with dignity", and also treats someone's life without any decency. Even if they believed the same thoughts or beliefs as me. So I won't respect various 'liberal' left people on Twitter. I might die as 'an old-fashioned idiot leftist' as Toshiya Ueno says.

Survival and the prognosticators of peritoneal cytology-positive pancreatic cancer patients undergoing curative resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy

Toru Aoyama, Yosuke Atsumi, Keisuke Kazama, Masaaki Murakawa, Manabu Shiozawa, Satoshi Kobayashi, Makoto Ueno, Manabu Morimoto, Norio Yukawa, Takashi Oshima, Takaki Yoshikawa, Yasushi Rino, Munetaka Masuda, Soichiro Morinaga Journal of Cancer Research and Therapeutics 2018 14(12):1129-1134 Background: The factors associated with the survival and prognosis of peritoneal cytology (CY)-positive pancreatic cancer patients who undergo curative resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy have not been established. Patients and Methods: Both overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were examined in 23 peritoneal CY-positive pancreatic cancer patients who underwent curative resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy between 2005 and 2015. Results: When the length of OS was evaluated using a log-rank test, significant differences were observed in the number of metastatic lymph nodes. In addition, univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that the number of metastatic lymph nodes was a significant independent risk factor for OS and a marginally significant risk factor for RFS. The 3-year OS rate was 20.2% in patients with ≤8 metastatic lymph nodes, and it was 0% in those with the ≥9 metastatic lymph nodes (P = 0.017). The 3-year RFS rate was 6.3% in patients with ≤8 metastatic lymph nodes, whereas it was 0% in those with ≥9 metastatic lymph nodes (P = 0.062). Conclusions: The number of metastatic lymph nodes is the most important prognostic factor for OS and RFS in peritoneal CY-positive pancreatic cancer patients who underwent curative resection followed by adjuvant chemotherapy. To improve the survival of these patients, it is necessary to establish optimal treatments. https://ift.tt/2QNHRb4

Rains in Japan Leave Dozens Seeking Rescue From Rooftops

By Hisako Ueno, Makiko Inoue and Gerry Mullany, NY Times, July 8, 2018

TOKYO--Record rainfall continued to batter Japan on Sunday, with millions of people being urged to leave their homes because of the risk of flooding and landslides that have already killed dozens.

Government officials pleaded with affected residents to “take adequate actions and follow evacuation instructions issued by municipal governments” as forecasters predicted more rain in western and central Japan.

Yasushi Kajihara, a spokesman for Japan’s Meteorological Agency, said people trapped in their houses should move to higher floors if possible, while others should head to higher ground “to save our lives.”

The flooding had already killed at least 68 people by Sunday afternoon, and 56 more were missing. [Update: 134 now confirmed dead.] More than three million people were told to move to safer places such as school buildings or municipal shelters.

Mr. Kajihara said the rainfall between Friday and Saturday in western and central Japan had broken a record for a 48-hour period dating back 50 years. In Gifu Prefecture, for example, more than four inches of rain fell in just one hour overnight.

The situation was particularly dire in Kurashiki City, in western Japan. More than 1,000 people were waiting to be rescued, many from rooftops.

At a hospital, officials used helicopters to rescue patients and staff members, with babies and children being pulled to safety first. The hospital is not far from a riverbank that was wiped out by the flooding.

Many people died because they were unable to flee. But there were also numerous tales of people being rescued. Japan’s Self-Defense Forces deployed teams in boats to save those in danger. A man who was moved to safety carrying his dog said on NHK, “I’m finally saved.”

The rains crippled transportation networks, with bus and train services partly or completely shut down in 15 prefectures. But the Shinkansen bullet trains were still operating on Sunday.

At least 34,000 homes in western Japan were without power, and recovery work was difficult because many roads were cut off by landslides.

‘Battle Against Time’: Rains in Japan Leave Dozens Seeking Rescue From Rooftops

TOKYO — Record rainfall continued to batter Japan on Sunday, with millions of people being urged to leave their homes because of the risk of flooding and landslides that have already killed dozens.

The flooding had already killed at least 68 people by Sunday afternoon, and 56 more were missing. More than three million people were told to move to safer places such as school buildings or municipal shelters.

Mr. Kajihara said the rainfall between Friday and Saturday in western and central Japan had broken a record for a 48-hour period dating back 50 years. In Gifu Prefecture, for example, more than four inches of rain fell in just one hour overnight.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe set up an emergency task force to deal with the worsening situation.

“Many people are still missing,” Mr. Abe said as the group met Sunday morning. “Others are isolated and waiting for rescue. It’s a battle against time. 54,000 rescue forces are working.”

The situation was particularly dire in Kurashiki City, in western Japan. More than 1,000 people were waiting to be rescued, many from rooftops.

At one building, drone footage showed the words “SOS” and “150 people! water and food” on a sheet on the roof.

At a hospital, officials used helicopters to rescue patients and staff members, with babies and children being pulled to safety first. The hospital is not far from a riverbank that was wiped out by the flooding.

Many people died because they were unable to flee. In Kagoshima Prefecture on the southern tip of Japan, a couple believed to be in their 80s were found dead after landslides wiped out their house. In Kyoto Prefecture, two people were found buried in mud where two houses had collapsed from another landslide, the public broadcaster NHK reported.

In Hiroshima Prefecture, a 3-year-old girl was missing after debris from a landslide poured into her house.

But there were also numerous tales of people being rescued. Japan’s Self-Defense Forces deployed teams in boats to save those in danger. A man who was moved to safety carrying his dog said on NHK, “I’m finally saved.”

The rains crippled transportation networks, with bus and train services partly or completely shut down in 15 prefectures. But the Shinkansen bullet trains were still operating on Sunday.

At least 34,000 homes in western Japan were without power, and recovery work was difficult because many roads were cut off by landslides.

Itsunori Onodera, Japan’s defense minister, told reporters that the weather should take a turn for the better, but added that many problems remained.

“The weather is expected to recover and it’s going to be hot,” he said. “There are many cases of disconnected water supply,” he said, adding that officials were trying to provide relief so people would have access to drinking and bath water.

Hisako Ueno reported from Tokyo; Makiko Inoue from Matsue, Japan; and Gerry Mullany from Hong Kong.

Yasushi Kajihara, a spokesman for Japan’s Meteorological Agency, said people trapped in their houses should move to higher floors if possible, while others should head to higher ground “to save our lives.”

The flooding had already killed at least 68 people by Sunday afternoon, and 56 more were missing. More than three million people were told to move to safer places such as school buildings or municipal shelters.

Mr. Kajihara said the rainfall between Friday and Saturday in western and central Japan had broken a record for a 48-hour period dating back 50 years. In Gifu Prefecture, for example, more than four inches of rain fell in just one hour overnight.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe set up an emergency task force to deal with the worsening situation.

“Many people are still missing,” Mr. Abe said as the group met Sunday morning. “Others are isolated and waiting for rescue. It’s a battle against time. 54,000 rescue forces are working.”

The situation was particularly dire in Kurashiki City, in western Japan. More than 1,000 people were waiting to be rescued, many from rooftops.

At one building, drone footage showed the words “SOS” and “150 people! water and food” on a sheet on the roof.

At a hospital, officials used helicopters to rescue patients and staff members, with babies and children being pulled to safety first. The hospital is not far from a riverbank that was wiped out by the flooding.

Many people died because they were unable to flee. In Kagoshima Prefecture on the southern tip of Japan, a couple believed to be in their 80s were found dead after landslides wiped out their house. In Kyoto Prefecture, two people were found buried in mud where two houses had collapsed from another landslide, the public broadcaster NHK reported.

In Hiroshima Prefecture, a 3-year-old girl was missing after debris from a landslide poured into her house.

But there were also numerous tales of people being rescued. Japan’s Self-Defense Forces deployed teams in boats to save those in danger. A man who was moved to safety carrying his dog said on NHK, “I’m finally saved.”

The rains crippled transportation networks, with bus and train services partly or completely shut down in 15 prefectures. But the Shinkansen bullet trains were still operating on Sunday.

At least 34,000 homes in western Japan were without power, and recovery work was difficult because many roads were cut off by landslides.

Itsunori Onodera, Japan’s defense minister, told reporters that the weather should take a turn for the better, but added that many problems remained.

“The weather is expected to recover and it’s going to be hot,” he said. “There are many cases of disconnected water supply,” he said, adding that officials were trying to provide relief so people would have access to drinking and bath water.

Hisako Ueno reported from Tokyo; Makiko Inoue from Matsue, Japan; and Gerry Mullany from Hong Kong.

Abstract

Background

In our previous randomised phase 2 study for patients with gemcitabine-refractory advanced pancreatic cancer, S-1 plus leucovorin improved progression-free survival compared with S-1 alone. Here, we evaluated the efficacy of TAS-118 (S-1 plus leucovorin) versus S-1 in overall survival (OS).

Patients and methods

This randomised, open-label, phase 3 study was conducted at 58 centres in Japan and Korea. Patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer that progressed during first-line gemcitabine-based chemotherapy or recurred during or after post-operative gemcitabine-based adjuvant treatment were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either S-1 (40–60 mg, twice daily for 4 weeks in a 6-week cycle) or TAS-118 (S-1 40–60 mg plus leucovorin 25 mg, twice daily for 1 week in a 2-week cycle). The primary end-point was OS.

Results

A total of 603 patients were randomised, and 300 and 301 patients received TAS-118 and S-1, respectively. There was no difference in OS between groups (median OS for TAS-118 versus S-1, 7.6 months versus 7.9 months; hazard ratio [HR], 0.98 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.82��1.16]; P = 0.756). Progression-free survival was significantly longer with TAS-118 than S-1 (median, 3.9 months versus 2.8 months; HR, 0.80 [95% CI, 0.67–0.95]; P = 0.009). There were interactions between Japan and Korea (P = 0.004) and between unresectable and recurrent disease (P = 0.025) in OS. Incidence, profile and severity of adverse events were similar between groups.

Conclusion

TAS-118 did not improve OS in patients with gemcitabine-refractory advanced pancreatic cancer compared to S-1. Further studies are needed to find patients who have benefit from adding leucovorin to S-1.
