Singer Harry Styles was spotted by eagle-eyed fans at the 2025 Tokyo Marathon, which took place today, Sunday, March 2. The British Singer, aged 31, crossed the finish line in 3:24:07, with an average pace of 7:47 per mile.
Styles crossed the half marathon marker with a time of 1:42:03, then ran the second half of the marathon in 1:42:04 — a "sign of the times" that he's not just a great musician, but an accomplished runner too.

The average marathon time for men in the US is 4 hours, 31 minutes, although Styles isn't a completely newbie when it comes to running. His trainer, Thibo David, told Coach in January 2024 that Styles could run a mile in 5 minutes and 13 seconds. The two would go for 11-mile training runs together around the streets of London when his schedule allowed.
The temperature at the start of the marathon was 55 degrees Fahrenheit, and Styles opted for a long-sleeved black Nike top, a white hat, sunglasses, and neon running shoes, which look like the Nike Alphafly 3. The Alphafly is one of Nike's most popular racing shoes and made it onto our list of the best carbon plate running shoes.
Tom's Guide's fitness writer and 2:25 marathon runner Nick Harris-Fry said the Alphafly 3 is "an outstanding racing shoe and will not disappoint if you pick it up for running events of any distance". You can read his Nike Alphafly 3 review here, as well as this Nike Alphafly 2 vs Nike Alphafly 3 comparison. The speedy shoe doesn't come cheap — the Nike Alphafly 3 launched in January 2024 at a price of $285.
Here's hoping Styles has some time to put his feet up and enjoy those post-marathon celebrations — he deserves it.

Game Freak Breaks Free From ‘Pokémon' With ‘Beast Of Reincarnation'
'Beast of Reincarnation' is a new and upcoming game developed by Game Freak. For many, Game Freak is synonymous with Pokémon, but their upcoming game Beast of Reincarnation looks to shatter that preconception. Set in the far-off future, Beast of Reincarnation looks similar to something like NieR: Automata by way of Sekiro. In short, an ostentatious action game with a fascinating setting and stunning visuals. While the initial trailer (shown below) only lists the fact that the game will be coming to Xbox, it will also be released on the PlayStation 5 and PC, via Steam. The publisher behind this is also curious, called Fictions, their only other game is LEGO Party!, which is out later this year. The reason this new publisher seems noteworthy is that Beast of Reincarnation is clearly not a small game in a budgetary sense. For one, it looks very impressive graphically, and for another, there seems to be some genuine production value behind it. This is interesting because Game Freak is often criticized for its somewhat low-budget approach to Pokémon. Whereas this new game shows that maybe Game Freak isn't the one at fault there.

Beast of Reincarnation will be released in 2026 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC. Follow me on X, Facebook and YouTube.

As part of a VIP celebration of its incredible UK talent, ASCAP will present the ASCAP Golden Note Award to mark 40 years of success for Mick Hucknall and Simply Red. The prestigious Golden Note is one of the top acknowledgments that ASCAP bestows upon songwriters and composers who have achieved extraordinary career milestones and was last presented in the UK to Duran Duran in 2016 (past recipients also include George Michael, Elton John, Blondie, Usher, Lionel Richie, Jay-Z and Stevie Wonder). "Mick Hucknall has made an indelible mark on a generation with his impassioned vocals and classic songwriting," said ASCAP Chairman of the Board and President Paul Williams. "His singular mix of soul, funk and pop sounds made him a master of blue-eyed soul. We are thrilled to present him with the ASCAP Golden Note Award." With over 60 million albums sold worldwide, five UK #1 albums, two billion streams across streaming platforms worldwide, and over one million YouTube subscribers, Mick Hucknall's Simply Red remain one of the UK's most successful bands.

This was followed by their breakthrough to superstardom and global hits. Simply Red have recently embarked on their 2025 40th Anniversary Tour across South America, Europe and the UK. The event will also see the presentation of the ASCAP Vanguard Award to South London singer-songwriter Lola Young. The award recognizes ASCAP members whose innovative work is helping to shape the future of music. "Lola Young has captured fans around the globe with her honest, humorous and provocative music," continued Williams. "It is exciting to see the world recognize her talent and we know she will reach even greater heights with her career. We look forward to presenting her with the ASCAP Vanguard Award in recognition of her growing list of achievements." Lola Young recently won the Rising Star Award at the Ivors 2025, and boasting over one billion all-time streams globally across her catalogue of releases, she continues to achieve tremendous success. Her platinum-certified #1 single "Messy" from her acclaimed 2024 album, This Wasn't Meant for You Anyway, held the top spot in the UK for four consecutive weeks, making Lola one of only two British female artists to reach #1 in the UK singles chart within the last year. At 24, she is also the youngest British artist to have a #1 single since Dave with "Starlight" in 2022, while "Messy" becomes the first #1 solo single from the youngest British female artist since Dua Lipa with "New Rules" in 2017. Concurrently in America, "Messy" recently hit #1 on the Billboard Pop Airplay chart, #1 at Hot Adult Contemporary, #1 on the Alternative Rock Billboard chart as well as reaching the upper regions of the Billboard Hot 100. Lola is the first female artist to have a debut single go #1 at both pop and alternative charts since Lorde's "Royals." ASCAP will celebrate its winning UK songwriters and composers for their work across music, TV and film at a private event on Tuesday 17 June 2025 with Mick Hucknall and Lola Young in attendance.
