Uma obra de arte, combinando a música vocal e instrumental de YOASOBI com uma profusão de imagens e cores, fez sua estreia no programa TOKYO Night & Light em 26 de julho. O show noturno usa o exterior do Edifício N.º 1 do Governo Metropolitano de Tóquio (TMG), com 243 metros de altura, como tela. Três outras projeções criadas por artistas aclamados internacionalmente também se juntaram ao menu no mesmo fim de semana.
YOASOBI – a vocalista Ikura, de 23 anos, e o cantor e compositor Ayase, de 30 anos – contribuiu com a nova composição “Butai ni Tatte (Standing on the Stage)”, que reflete as emoções dos atletas prontos para a competição. A música foi adotada pela emissora pública japonesa NHK como tema de seus programas esportivos, e sua primeira apresentação do Night & Light foi programada para coincidir com a cerimônia de abertura das Olimpíadas de Paris.
Para a primeira exibição, uma multidão se reuniu na Praça dos Cidadãos, ao pé do prédio de 48 andares, um marco no centro de negócios e entretenimento de Shinjuku. Eles assistiram a imagens de silhuetas animadas de corredores e outros atletas se divertindo na parede.
O projeto Night & Light cumpriu à meta da TMG de criar um “novo recurso turístico para colorir a vida noturna de Tóquio”, atraindo 280.000 visitantes em cinco meses desde seu lançamento em 25 de fevereiro. Projetado em uma área de 127 metros por 110 metros, o espetáculo foi certificado pelo Guinness World Records™ como a “maior projeção mapeada arquitetônica (permanente)”.
Exibido a cada meia hora entre 19h30 e 21h30 atualmente, o programa reúne algumas projeções durante 15 minutos. Nos fins de semana e feriados, a série apresenta atrações que atraem o público, como o mundialmente famoso monstro do cinema japonês Godzilla e uma obra inspirada nas tradicionais pinturas japonesas Ukiyo-e. “Standing on the Stage”, com 3,5 minutos de duração, será exibido todas as noites por enquanto.
YOASOBI, que significa “sair à noite”, é um nome globalmente conhecido cinco anos após sua estreia. Seu sucesso “Idol”, o tema da animação de TV “Oshi no Ko”, se tornou a primeira música japonesa a liderar a parada Global (excluindo os EUA) da Billboard em junho do ano passado. Também foi reconhecida como a melhor música popular do Japão em termos de royalties no ano até março de 2024.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris is announcing a plan to give Black men more economic opportunities and other chances to thrive as she works to energize a key voting bloc that has Democrats concerned about a lack of enthusiasm.
Harris' plan includes providing forgivable business loans for Black entrepreneurs, creating more apprenticeships and studying sickle cell and other diseases that disproportionately affect African American men.
Harris already has said she supports legalizing marijuana and her plan calls for working to ensure that Black men have opportunities to participate as a “national cannabis industry takes shape.” She also is calling for better regulating cryptocurrency to protect Black men and others who invest in digital assets.
The vice president's so-called “opportunity agenda for Black men” is meant to invigorate African American males at a moment when there are fears some may sit out the election rather than vote for Harris or her opponent, Republican former President Donald Trump.
The vice president unveiled the plan Monday, ahead of an evening campaign rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, where she was to appear with Democratic Sen. John Fetterman. Her push comes after former President Barack Obama suggested last week that some Black men “aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president.”
The Harris campaign also has been working to increase support among other male voting blocs, including Hispanics, by founding the group “Hombres con Harris,” Spanish for “Men with Harris.” The latest policy rollout is notable because it comes with the stated purpose of motivating Black men to vote mere weeks before Election Day.
As her campaign has done with the “Hombres” group, Harris’ team plans to organize gender-specific gatherings. Those include “Black Men Huddle Up” events in battleground states featuring African American male celebrities for things like watch parties for NFL and NCAA football games. The campaign says it also plans new testimonial ads in battleground states that feature local Black male voices.
Cedric Richmond, co-chair of the Harris campaign and a former Louisiana congressman who is Black, said Harris wants to build an economy "where Black men are equipped with the tools to thrive: to buy a home, provide for our families, start a business and build wealth.”
Black Americans strongly supported Joe Biden when he beat Trump in 2020. Harris advisers say they are less worried about losing large percentages of Black male support to the former president than that some will choose not to turn out at all.
Trump, too, has stepped up efforts to win over Black and Hispanic voters of both genders. He has held roundtables with Black entrepreneurs in swing states and will sit for a townhall sponsored by Spanish-language Univision this week. He also has sought to openly stoke racial divisions, repeatedly suggesting that immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally are taking jobs from Black and Hispanic Americans.
Harris' new round of proposals includes a promise that, if elected, she will help distribute 1 million loans of up to $20,000 that can be fully forgivable to Black entrepreneurs and others who have strong ideas to start businesses. The loans would come via new partnerships between the Small Business Administration and community leaders and banks “with a proven commitment to their communities,” her campaign says.
The vice president also wants to offer federal incentives to encourage more African American men to train to be teachers, citing statistics that Black males made up only a bit more than 1% of the nation's public school teaching ranks in 2020-21, according to data from the National Teacher and Principal Survey.
Harris also is pledging to expand existing federal programs that forgive some educational loans for public service to further encourage more Black male teachers. She also wants to use organizations like the National Urban League, local governments and the private sector to expand apprenticeships and credentialing opportunities in Black communities.
The vice president's advisers have been urging her to talk more about cryptocurrency as a way to appeal to male voters. Her campaign said that as president, Harris will back a regulatory framework meant to better protect investors in cryptocurrency and other digital assets, which are popular with Black men.
Harris also promised to create a national initiative to better fund efforts to detect, research and combat sickle cell disease, diabetes, prostate cancer, mental health challenges and other health issues that disproportionately affect Black men.
A recent poll conducted by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found about 7 in 10 Black voters had a favorable view of Harris and preferred her leadership to that of Trump on major policy issues including the economy, health care, abortion, immigration and the war between Israel and Hamas. There was little difference in support for Harris between Black men and Black women.
