THE KIMI KATO SHOW with Jeremiah - Featuring Autumn in Japan Join Kimi and Jeremiah as they explore the beauty of Autumn in Japan. As summer transitions to autumn, Japan cools down, offering temperate weather perfect for outdoor walks. The trees turn vivid red, orange, and yellow hues from mid-November to early December.

When to Go Autumn in Japan typically lasts from mid-September to early December, with the best time to visit being from mid-October to late November. The exact timing depends on the region and altitude, with mountainous areas seeing the leaves change color earlier.  What to See Autumn in Japan is known for its vibrant fall foliage, which paints the landscape in red, orange, and yellow shades. Some notable places to see the fall colors include:  Lake Chuzenji: A serene highland lake in the Nikko Mountains where you can hike, rowboat, or stroll along the lakeside  Ginkaku-ji: A Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto known for its architectural elegance and tranquil gardens  Icho Namiki Avenue: An iconic avenue in Tokyo lined with ginkgo trees that create a golden canopy  Mikuni Pass: A scenic drive in Kamishihoro that cuts through Daisetsuzan National Park  What to Do Enjoy the autumn colors by walking, hiking, or visiting a park or garden to see the city's colors.

THE KIMI KATO SHOW with Jeremiah Featuring Mariya Takeuchi | The Queen of City Pop and Japanese Singer-Songwriter Mariya Takeuchi has sold over 16 million records, becoming one of Japan’s best-selling and most beloved music artists. Despite a temporary hiatus in the 1980s and a relatively low international profile during her early years, she has gained an unexpected global following in recent years, mainly through her now-legendary hit "Plastic Love," which sparked a resurgence of interest in city pop outside Japan.  Mariya has rightfully earned her place among the most influential female figures in Japan’s musical history annals.

THE KIMI KATO SHOW with Jeremiah - Featuring Sincere from RYUSENKEI RYUSENKEI is a Japanese city music band consisting of Cunimondo Takiguchi and Sincere. Sincere joins us today on the show. The story of RYUSENKEI starts back in 2001 when Cunimondo Takiguchi [クニモンド瀧口]formed the band 流線形 “Ryusenkei.” The band's name was originally written in Japanese. It began as an exciting project, and by 2003, Cunimondo, alongside Takehiro Oshizuka [押塚岳大] and Yuzo Hayashi [林有三], released the mini album “CITY MUSIC,” featuring Tomomi Sano on vocals. Fast forward to 2006, Ryusenkei transformed into a solo project for Cunimondo, who dropped the album “TOKYO SNIPER” with Nica Eguchi [江口ニカ], also known as Hitomitoi [一十三十一]. It was highly rated amongst City Pop music fans and set the stage for their evolving sound. By 2009, Ryusenkei was back with Atsuko Hiyajo [比屋定篤子], releasing “NATURAL WOMAN.” And just when you thought they couldn’t get any more groundbreaking, 2019 saw them collaborating with Hitomitoi [一十三十一] again for “Talio,” the soundtrack for the NHK drama series “Talio Fukushu Daiko no Futari,” marking a new chapter in their musical journey. [NHK ドラマ「タリオ 復讐代行の2人」] In 2022, they released “Incomplete,” featuring Yasuyuki Horigome [堀込泰行], a former member of KIRINJI [exキリンジ], adding yet another layer to their rich sound. And here’s the exciting part—2024 brings a fresh start with singer-songwriter Sincere joining the group as an official member with a new name, “RYUSENKEI,” spelled out in English.  Their latest album, “ILLUSIONS,” just dropped from Alfa Music and is already turning heads. With their innovative style and ever-evolving sound, RYUSENKEI is set to take the music world by storm again!
