'This week we are touring the 79th floor unit of the iconic 432 Park Ave building in New York City. This full floor unit is designed in a traditional Japanese style by world-renowned artist and architect Hiroshi Sugimoto! '
'Japan is developing a ‘hypervelocity gliding projectile’ (HVGP) with anti-ship capabilities to deter Beijing’s expansionist spree. The anti-ship missile will be capable of decimating Chinese warships in the disputed waters. A hypersonic weapon is a guided missile that travels faster than five times the speed of sound.'
'Motorcycles: the rebel’s vehicle of choice. For the longest time those motorcycles were Harley-Davidsons. But by the ‘80s Harleys had lost their edge, and motorcycles as a whole were hemorrhaging cool. Then Tom Cruise raced a fighter jet on a new bike called “Ninja” in the biggest movie of 1986, and everything changed. The Kawasaki Ninja made motorcycles cool again through a combination of advanced engineering, aggressive design, and killer branding. This two-wheeled speed demon kick-started the sportbike segment, and spurred an intense battle for the title “Fastest Motorcycle in the World” that continues today. Join James Pumphrey for a face-melting ride into the history of the world’s most famous sportbike, the Kawasaki Ninja!'
'Toyota is building a $10 billion smart city at the base of Mount Fuji. Woven City will be a living laboratory where Toyota employees, engineers, scientists, and researchers can live and work. The state-of-the-art smart city will feature eco-friendly smart houses, numerous types of robots, and autonomous vehicles. The city will be built on a unique grid system with three different types of roads seamlessly weaved together to create an interconnected community. Some roads will be used exclusively by autonomous vehicles like the Toyota e-Palette. Other roads will be for pedestrians and people on bicycles and mobility scooters like the Toyota i Walk. The final type of road will be a linear park that can only be used by pedestrians. The smart homes in Woven City will be built by robots and put together using traditional Japanese construction methods. Combining technology with nature will be a major theme in Woven City. The Central Plaza will be a place where residents can socialize and shop. Technology has resulted in humans spending less time outside and more time online, but designers want to make Woven City’s Central Plaza a new type of town square where residents can bring human connectivity to the forefront. Woven City's underground transport system called matternet can be used to deliver food and other goods directly to people's homes using Toyota Micro-Palette robots. Here’s a look at what Woven City will look like. Are you ready for a virtual tour? Keep watching to learn more about Toyota's Woven City. '
'We met Mr. Nakatani, a mochi maker from Nara, Japan who has been pounding mochi for the past 30 years. His fast pounding technique became a magnet for visitors from all around the world but for him, this is not just a performance but a way to make the best mochi possible. Special thanks to Mr. Nakatani for sharing his story. '
'Magnetically levitated trains are common nowadays. However, the MagLev train the Central Japan Railway Company developed is quite unique and superior to the other trains. Running at more than 600 km per hour, it has achieved the status of ‘fastest train.’ This train uses superconducting magnets, which is why it is called SC MagLev. Once charged with an exciting current, the superconducting magnets of this train produce a circulating DC current and strong magnetic field forever, with zero loss. Let’s understand more about this successfully tested train technology, which is projected to overtake other magnetic levitation technologies by the year 2027. The same technology is poised to connect New York city to Washington DC in just one hour by 2030.'
'The efficiency of Japan’s commuter trains is the best in the world. The rail networks that service Tokyo and other urban population centers are all about getting as many people as possible to their offices and schools with maximum efficiency, and they do an incredible job meeting that goal.
However, Japan is also a country that loves hospitality and for-fun travel, and when train designers put their skills towards those goals they create amazing things too.
Introducing the exquisitely designed Royal Express, a sightseeing train operated by Tokyu Dentetsu, one of the major private railway companies in the Tokyo area. The eight-car train’s amenities are a far cry from the plasticky bench seats and hanging straps of ordinary trains, instead inviting passengers to take a seat on elegantly upholstered seating as they relax and enjoy the journey.
Extensive use is made of traditional Japanese kumiko-style wooden latticework, and the ceilings are also exercises in expressive aesthetics.
Even the kids’ play area, which includes a “picture book library” collection of children’s literature, is beautifully appointed, with a “wooden pool” instead of standard plastic ball pit. Family seats in the kids’ area have spacious desks, great for reading or other activities.
Ordinarily, the Royal Express runs between Yokohama (30 minutes south of Tokyo) and the beautiful seaside town of Shimoda, about three hours down the coast in Shizuoka Prefecture. Definitely Got Some! '
