92: Memories of when I started climbing

Once again, the factory manager, the landlord, and Hakase chatted while reading the answers to the questionnaire that we received from listeners. I was saddened by how clumsy I was, but I did my best to edit the podcast, thinking it would be a little comforting if someone laughed.

Recently, the factory manager told me that we should not forget to go back to the basics. So, for our 92nd episode, we asked listeners to submit their own episodes about “such-and-such a thing when they first started climbing.

All the episodes were wonderful stories that motivated me to remember our first love, and I was going to end them short, but they ended up being as long as ever. Next time I will make another prize that will please you!

91: The best climbing equipment you can buy

Once again, the landlord, the factory manager, and Hakase chatted with each other while reading the answers to the questionnaires received from listeners.

There were many eye-opening items, and I have a feeling this will be the most informative session ever. The factory manager was immediately looking for various items on Rakuten. Please enjoy this episode with some of the little goods that will make your climbing life more meaningful.

As we mentioned on our blog the other day, we have switched to a Google Form survey from this issue. We are planning to change the present contents, so please look forward to the next and subsequent surveys.

87: 100g of Meat, 100g of Protein(THOUFUN)

I realized that it had been four and a half years since the last time. This time, I went to Shin-Yokohama to see Mr. Eli of THOUFUN. We read the questions we had received from Twitter and chatted without feeling like it had been a long time since we had seen each other.

86: DAY OF THE KONA

It is the day of the powder. So, although it was not on our schedule, we had to record a Podcast show on short notice. While reading the newsletters and announcements, it turned out to be more of a mess than usual, as if it was a day of powder.

I thought We used to read the messages from listeners on the Podcast every year on the Day of the Powder, but that never happened at all, I only did it once in 2019. Interesting.

Tokyo Powder Web Site Renewed

Due to major changes to the Tokyo Powder website, this blog is now dedicated to the KONA RADIO. I really wanted to change the address to podcast.tokyopowder.com, but it would have been too difficult to link the existing data, so I had to compromise.

From now on, we will only post updates of KONA RADIO episodes on this blog. For other announcements, etc., please visit our new website or click on “NEWS” in the upper right corner of this blog.

I messed around last night and I’m not sure if all the past podcasts can be heard properly. If you notice anything, please DM me on twitter, otayori@tokyopowder.com

Although there has been a long gap in KONA RADIO since Covid-19, we will continue to work as if we were crawling on the ground, so please keep up the good work. Thank you for your continued support. (Mitsuo)

85: Can you talk climbing in English / The essential items for climbing (1)

Kona Radio is a well-known English conversation resource. For this episode, Vitaly-sensei went back to basics and chose an orthodox theme. He brought about 15 items as essentials for climbing, but due to time constraints, we have five this time!

Development Nutrition

Since last year, Tokyo Powdered Foods has been developing a nutritional food product mainly based on protein, which is scheduled to be released this spring or summer. You may be thinking Why?, but we have our own reasons and thoughts, which we have learned from our own failures.

Importance of Protein

“My nails break easily,” “I’m the type of person who has trouble building muscle…” When my skins split, it takes a long time to heal.” “I can do the moves, but I don’t feel like I’m getting stronger…”
I am sure you have heard these conversations or can think of your own experiences. In many cases, these are signs of protein deficiency.

84: Ryoma Sato Climbing Lab.

We are joined by Mr. Sato of the Ryoma Sato Climbing Lab. and Mr. Nerome from Bouldering Gym Grappa, both of whom are connected to Yamanashi.

83: 筋肉の会

KONA Radio, Episode 83 is a chat session between the factory manager, the landlord, and Hakase, and we received a lot of letters from Twitter and e-mails. Among other things, we will send you a story about muscles.

82: Wear True-To-Size(SIN)

Happy New Year to all KONA RADIO listeners! This is Hakase. In episode 82, we talk about everyone’s favorite topic. Yes, climbing shoes. We welcomed Mr. Tachibanazono-san, who is involved in the development of Unparallel shoes, and talked about various topics related to climbing shoes, including the new Souped UP shoes and shoe demos, while looking back on the year 2022.

If you feel that your current shoes are not right for you, or you are not sure about your size, or if you have any other shoe problems, this is a must listen. (from around 1:15:00)
