Forum members in Japan may be interested in viewing tonight's (Fri. April 25) episode of "Tamori Station", on TV Asahi at 8:00 pm. The program runs for 1 hour 45 minutes, so probably/hopefully a lot of material. A visit to the secret Tokaido Shinkansen control center ("exclusive first time" they say, but not really), history of the construction and development of the now 60 year old Tokaido Shinkansen, the Chuo Shinkansen (maglev) construction progress, etc. *Tamori likes covering railways and infrastructure topics, and his approach is more low-key, so his recent programs tend to avoid use of annoying/loud "geinin" owarai (non)talents, which is a plus. https://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/tamori-station/
