Heading outdoors for a hike or reading a book at a cafe are small ways to relax without relying on a screen for entertainment. Recently, we've seen a return to old-school technology like clunky digital cameras, wired headphones and even CD players. Listening to music on CDs demands more intention. You have to choose the album, buy it and insert it into the player without the temptation of scrolling through an endless digital library.
The Thanko Skeleton Portable CD Player SK-25 is a great way to disconnect while enjoying your favorite artist. With its see-through body inspired by 1990s design, it's both nostalgic and fresh. Weighing just 250 grams and powered by a rechargeable battery, it's easy to carry and lasts up to five hours on a charge. It plays standard CDs as well as CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and supports MP3 and WMA formats. You can also load music onto a microSD card (up to 128GB) for even more flexibility.
Useful features like A-B repeat, adjustable playback speed, and a 5-level equalizer make it great for language study or exam prep. It includes two headphone jacks so you can listen with a friend, and has anti-skip protection and auto power-off to save battery.

Japan's newspaper crisis: Losing readers, relevance and the next generation

By Jeff W. Richards Circulation is dropping. Trust is fading. And Japan's major newspapers are struggling to connect with younger readers who now get their headlines from platforms like Line, YouTube and even TikTok. In this edition of Japan Today Spotlight, we look at how Japan's once-powerful dailies — including the Yomiuri, Asahi and Mainichi — are facing a slow decline. From outdated digital strategies to an aging subscriber base, the print giants are falling behind in a media world that now runs on swipes and scrolls. We also revisit past Spotlight episodes that exposed deeper problems in the industry, including the Fuji TV–Masahiro Nakai scandal and how major outlets ignored Shiori Ito's story until it gained global attention. What do you think — is there still a place for Japan's legacy media, or has the news already moved on? Chapters: 0:00 Topic overview 0:49 The fall 3:16 Old habits, aging audience 5:34 The trust gap 6:58 So, what now? 7:58 Outro Japan Today sources: See the Japan Today Spotlight series: Join the conversation!
