Rapper Raja Kumari becomes first Indian origin musician to win AMA award
Indian origin singer-songwriter and rapper Raja Kumari wins an American Music Award (AMA) on Tuesday. She was nominated for 'Arcane League of Legends: Season 2' at the 51st AMA held in Los Angeles on Monday night. In an interview to PTI earlier, Kumari had said she was the first Indian origin musician to be nominated for an AMA. 'Renegade (We Never Run)' from 'Arcane League of Legends', a collaboration between Kumari, UK hip-hop artist Stefflon Don and Dominican-Brazilian artist Jarina de Marco, was nominated under the Favourite Soundtrack category. Kumari told PTI that the song was really special for her. 'Stefflon (Don) and I kind of share the Sidhu (Moose Wala) connection. She has a song with Sidhu, too. And when I was meeting Sidhu during the time that we were collaborating, he had played me the song. So, I've always had this soft spot in my heart for her because we both kind of share this gentle giant,' Kumari told PTI. She said she was approached for the song because the character in the film is Indian. 'They (Arcane team) had heard about me as being representative of our culture and being able to make aggressive music as a woman,' added Kumari. She said she never really expected the song to become such a big hit. ALSO READ:Finding calm in chaos with Raja Kumari 'The song actually went top 10 in the world on the 'Viral 50' charts on Spotify. It was something that kind of came out of nowhere. I just did a song for a film. I didn't have many expectations for it. It ended up really impacting people,' said Kumari. The AMA nomination, added the rapper, came at a time when she was beginning to believe that perhaps one has to focus on one genre to make it big. 'And I've always been a global artist, so an AMA award is a great reminder that there's still much more work for me to do, and still much more for me to impact and grow,' she added.

A Sanctuary for Retro Arcade Games in Tokyo
Step through the gates of Takadanobaba Station in Tokyo, and you're immediately surrounded by the lively voices of students. In this bustling student district, there's a retro game arcade that transports visitors to a bygone era. Inside, the dim lighting and flickering screens create a nostalgic atmosphere. Game Center Mikado first opened in Shinjuku in 2006 and relocated to Takadanobaba in 2009. Today, it features around 230 arcade machines, drawing in fans of all ages. Most visitors are men, ranging from middle school students to people in their 60s, with international tourists also making regular appearances. One of the oldest machines at the arcade is Speed Race. About 20 of the machines date back to the Showa era. The oldest is Speed Race, released in 1974. Other classics from that time include Pengo, Hotball Hockey, Ghosts 'n Goblins, and Renegade. An employee repairs a vintage game. "Maintaining these old machines isn't easy, but there are still plenty of customers who enjoy them," says store manager Yuji Kawashima. By transferring the circuit boards of these vintage games into newer Heisei-era machines, he's keeping the legacy of retro gaming alive. Yasunori Yoshinari, visiting from Tokushima Prefecture with his family, said, "Playing the games I loved in my youth brought back a wave of nostalgia. I'm really happy I got to share that experience with my son," as the two enjoyed the retro games side by side. ( Read the article in Japanese . ) Author: Katsuyuki Seki, The Sankei Shimbun

The New Gas Jeep Compass Is Strictly Front-Wheel Drive
For decades, the idea of a front-wheel-drive Jeep seemed unthinkable. That changed in 2006 when the Patriot debuted, sending power only to the front axle in its more affordable versions. The original Compass launched the same year with a front-wheel-drive setup in lower trims, followed in 2013 by the smaller Renegade. The not-for-America Commander/Meridian arrived in 2022, a year before the Avenger, which we also don't get in the U.S. The Avenger offers all-wheel drive only in the gasoline-powered version, leaving the EV strictly front-wheel drive. The new Compass is the exact opposite. In a statement to Motor1 , Jeep confirmed that the gasoline-powered Compass will be offered exclusively with front-wheel drive. If you want both axles powered, you must go fully electric. The EV version is the most potent of the bunch, featuring a dual-motor setup with a combined output of 375 hp. Lesser electric versions are front-wheel drive only, with outputs of 210 hp and 230 hp. Photo by: Jeep Jeep claims the all-wheel-drive variant uses a rear motor not shared with other Stellantis group models. That's even though the new Compass rides on the same STLA Medium platform as the latest Peugeot 3008, 5008, and Opel Grandland. The rear motor delivers a peak power of 66 hp and instant torque of 171 lb-ft (232 Nm). It enables the AWD-equipped Compass to climb a 20 percent slope even without front-wheel traction. The motors are powered by a 96-kWh battery pack, offering a range of 373 miles (600 kilometers). The first-ever electric Compass supports DC fast charging at up to 160 kW, allowing a charge from 20 to 80 percent in half an hour. The Compass isn't the only Jeep model offering all-wheel drive exclusively in electric form. In the United States, the Wagoneer S is sold only as an EV, with the smaller Recon on the way. Jeep has paused developing a new Compass for the North American market, leaving its future uncertain. 2026 Jeep Compass (European model) 63 Source: Jeep Catch Up With Jeep: Base 2025 Jeep Wagoneer S Puts Full Power Behind Paywall Stellantis Names New Bosses for Jeep and Peugeot Source: Jeep Share this Story Facebook X LinkedIn Flipboard Reddit WhatsApp E-Mail Got a tip for us?
