Victims' families mark 34 years since volcanic disaster in Nagasaki Pref.
Tuesday marks 34 years since a volcanic disaster killed 43 people in Nagasaki Prefecture, southwestern Japan. To mark the date, family members of the victims visited the site. A fast-moving current of hot gas and volcanic matter gushed down from Mount Unzen's Fugen Peak on June 3, 1991. The victims included reporters and volcanologists observing the mountain's volcanic activity at a spot well-known for good front views of the volcano. Their taxi drivers were also among the victims. On Tuesday, the visitors, mainly the victims' families and reporters, observed a moment of silence at the spot at 4:08 p.m., the exact time the pyroclastic flow occurred. More people visited the site later and offered prayers toward the volcano. Komura Tetsuya lost his younger brother Koji, who was a videographer for Nippon TV, in the disaster. Komura said that the camera people around him reminded him of his brother and this made him emotional. He added that he believes that his brother continued shooting the scene until the last moment. Komura added that reporters' efforts are of no use if they die, and that they must protect their lives, too. He expressed hope this lesson will be widely shared.

Apocalypse Hotel Episode 8: A Gingarou Without Yachiyo—Recap, Release Date, Where To Stream And More
The 7th Apocalypse Hotel episode Bow Down Deep But Always Aim High shows Yachiyo and the Prociones performing rituals to attract guests but fail to do so. Yachiyo proposes launching a satellite to advertise the hotel. Ponko wants to add a 'Rods from God' satellite for defense. Though initially against it, Yachiyo agrees after hearing Ponko's reasons. When the rocket proves too heavy, Yachiyo offers to replace Ponko, removing life support systems to save weight. 70 years later, the rocket launches and both satellites deploy successfully, but a solar flare leaves Yachiyo disabled and adrift in space. Apocalypse Hotel Episode 8 will likely explore how Yachiyo, now stranded in space, may begin her return to Earth. Although exposed to harsh conditions, she may possess specialized functions enabling her survival and descent. Meanwhile, Ponko and the Tanukians, determined to protect the Gingarou Hotel in her absence, may devise a rescue plan. They still have the unused life support unit initially intended for Ponko, which could be vital. The episode may also depict how the hotel continues functioning without Yachiyo's direct presence. Apocalypse Hotel Episode 8, titled 'Punishment Is Rock! Making Up Is Paper!,' is set to premiere on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 1:34 am JST. However, due to time zone differences, international viewers might be able to catch it as early as May 27. The episode will first air on Nippon TV and a few other Japanese networks, with streaming availability in Japan to follow on platforms like ABEMA, Lemino, and Anime Times. Shortly after its domestic release, Apocalypse Hotel Episode 8 will also be available globally with subtitles on Crunchyroll for international fans. Keep an eye on Pinkvilla for more updates from the Apocalypse Hotel anime.

Apocalypse Hotel Episode 7: Yachiyo Builds A Rocket Ship; Recap, Release Date, Where To Stream And More
In 'Our Only Vice Is Service,' see the Tanukians check out after a 100-year stay to move into their new home. Soon after, a new extraterrestrial, named Harmageddon or 'Harmy' by Ponko, arrives with the intent to eradicate all intelligent, reproducing species. Discovering Earth lacks such beings, Harmy chooses to stay temporarily. His presence causes problems for Yachiyo, which Ponko misinterprets as romantic tension. Later, four beings try to eliminate Harmy, but he defeats them and leaves. Before departing, he drills a deep hole to assist in building the hotel's hot spring. Apocalypse Hotel Episode 7 is expected to shift focus toward the Gingarou Hotel staff supporting Ponko in an unusual project: building a rocket ship. Although Harmy helped uncover the groundwater for the hot spring, the episode will likely skip the next steps in developing it. Instead, the Gingarou Hotel staff will work together to build a rocket ship as Yachiyo emphasizes the importance of progress and ambition. It seems her determination has only grown, as she is now set on surpassing the number of guests the Gingarou Hotel had during the owner's time. Apocalypse Hotel Episode 7, titled 'Bow Deeply, Aim High' (お辞儀は深く志は高く), is set to air on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, at 1:34 am JST. Depending on regional time zones, international viewers might be able to watch it as early as May 20. Apocalypse Hotel Episode 7 will first broadcast on Nippon TV and select Japanese networks, followed by streaming access in Japan via ABEMA, Lemino, and Anime Times. Shortly after the premiere, the English-subtitled version will become available for international audiences on Crunchyroll, requiring a valid subscription.
