Ok so we’re still a little late with the long overdue ‘normal’ podcast show and resuming of the Mr Trick Years broadcast, but in the meantime we’re keeping you entertained with the first episode of the new B4B TV from Yoshi, this time shining a light on the Japanese scratch scene.
This first episode acts as a teaser of sorts too, as the series won’t actually start as such until next month. Yoshi’s moving to Europe for the year to study and so with the move and other important things on the line the actual B4B TV:Japan series won’t be broadcast weekly until later in October.
Here’s what Yoshi had to say about this particular episode, which features a rather unknown Tokyo skratch kid by the name of Lunch:
I was introduced to Lunch by a good friend of mine, LAN, who competed with him in a DJ battle called “Scratch Colosseum” that took place in early June this year. It turns out that Lunch is a student of Miyajima, another friend of mine and whom I consider to be one of if not the best scratcher in the world. This video was shot at Lunch’s friend’s house (Lunch said his own place was too messy to be filmed!) in Hon-Atsugi on the 30th July 2009. Please sit back, relax and enjoy the show!
Actually another change to the series, apart from the geographical setting, is the decision to keep episodes down to 10 mins in length. This is taking in feedback from various viewers and others. It also means the podcasts should be a little easier on your desktop/iPod/portable viewer!
This episode is 10 minutes long, and comes in at 106mb. As with all our video podcasts it’s optimised for iPod and iTunes (.m4v file) viewing but can be played with all standard media players as long as you have the latest codecs.
