93: YURU, KABE RADIO (SIN)

Episode 93! I heard a rumor that SIN, who is involved in the development of everyone’s favorite Unparallel shoes, has started a podcast, so we bring him on Zoom this time.

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.

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.
