#43 - Yasushi Akimoto, producer of AKB48 (Part 2)

We continue following the career of Akimoto as he ascends to one of the most successful music producers in Asia. Following the launch of AKB48, it seems that a formula for idol super-groups has finally been hit upon, so it's time for franchising! And, you know, horrifically draconian and abusive behaviour rules for all of the women. Today's guest is Sarah Tompkins! You can find her via Twitter account, @herladytompkins.

E tu, mi vedi? “E tu, mi vedi?” è il podcast di 9m², il progetto per aprire gli occhi su un mondo che ormai si è rimpicciolito in un’unica stanza. Per un universo più inclusivo.“Apro gli occhi e fisso il soffitto.” Immerso in un presente senza fine, un viaggio tra la paura, i pensieri, lo spazio e le sensazioni di chi non può fare altro che chiudere la porta della propria cameretta, fino a non aprirla mai più. Un tuffo negli occhi, e nella mente di un Hikikomori, che poi alla fine è un po’ anche la nostra.Partendo da voci, testimonianze e racconti, assumiamo le sembianze di una generazione sommersa, e ci facciamo una chiacchierata per sfondare quel muro che, piano piano, ci si può costruire attorno. Ed ecco il mondo a portata Hikikomori.Ogni lunedì su Spotify.E per entrare ancora di più in 9m² visita il sito del progetto http://www.9m².com The Joker's podcast The Joker Hikikomori :giovani in fuga dalla realta el faro del apocalipsis (Podcast) - www.poderato.com/gascuenha gascuenha historias de un hikikomori occidental y cincuentón. paisajes del apocalipsis cotidiano.dibujos de sociedades alienadas.esquemas de ti.suenhos.

Commitment level: impressive, if useless. ASD background, former religious kid—life started on Hard Mode. Parents offline for 15 years. Friends out of stock. Religion ended with “Not compatible with your system.” Depression, anxiety, OCD included. Uninsta led “Meaning of Life” halfway through. A candid, unfiltered hikikomori log from Japan. 書き起こしサービス　LISTEN　https://listen.style/p/ponsudati?hABcy07H
