Concert by popular Japanese band prompts many complaints about noise levels
A live outdoor concert last weekend by a popular Japanese band in the city of Yokohama near Tokyo prompted many residents living nearby to complain about the noise level. The two-day concert on Saturday and Sunday by the group, Mrs. GREEN APPLE, took place at a pier in Yokohama Port. The event attracted about 100,000 concertgoers. The band is signed with Universal Music Japan. The company says it has received many complaints about the noise level from the concert. It says the event's sound volumes were set in accordance with legal and other standards, and that the seating was set up near the shoreline. It says a loud speaker system was placed in a way for any sounds to travel out into the bay. The company says it conducted a simulation beforehand on how the sounds would spread, but it turned out they traveled further than expected due to the wind. Universal Music Japan says it sincerely apologizes for causing significant trouble to local residents. It says it takes the situation seriously and will conduct a review and work to prevent a recurrence. The company says it will also make every effort to ensure future live events are held in a way that can gain the understanding and cooperation of people living close to venues.

Liverpool are hit by a THIRD withdrawal from Japan pre-season tour as star man leaves camp for personal reasons
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker will miss their final match of the club's pre-season tour of Japan after returning home for personal reasons. The goalkeeper was given permission by the Reds to leave the tour early and miss their match against the Yokohama F Marinos at the Nissan Stadium. He had played no part in Liverpool's open training session in Tokyo on Tuesday. Alisson will rejoin Arne Slot 's squad when they return to the UK following the completion of their tour. The Brazilian is the third Liverpool player to leave their pre-season tour. Joe Gomez was the first player to withdraw with the defender flying home last week when the Reds were in Hong Kong. Gomez had left after complaining of pain in his Achilles, and is continuing his recovery work at the AXA Training Centre on Merseyside. On Monday, Luis Diaz was given permission to leave Liverpool camp as he closes in on a £65.5million move to Bayern Munich. Diaz had been pictured with the Liverpool squad at the Ekoin Temple on Monday, before saying his goodbyes to his Liverpool team-mates. The 28-year-old boarded a flight to Munich in the afternoon and was pictured arriving in the German city on Tuesday morning.

Liverpool vs Yokohama FM: Friendly prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds
Liverpool conclude their pre-season tour of Asia this week with a friendly against Yokohama F. Marinos. The Reds have been in the Far East for over a week and Saturday saw them take on AC Milan in a friendly, suffering a 4-2 loss at the Kai Tak Sports Park in Hong Kong. Arne Slot's side touched down in Japan on Sunday to embark on the second leg of their summer tour and preparations are underway for the World Challenge showdown. Yokohama are struggling domestically this season. Currently in the J1 League relegation zone and three points from safety, ultimately their focus will be on survival even if a meeting against Liverpool provides a welcome distraction. That said, they have found form in recent weeks, recording back-to-back wins over rivals Yokohama FC and Nagoya without conceding a single goal. Date, kick-off time and venue Liverpool vs Yokohama FM is scheduled for a 11.30am BST kick-off on Wednesday, 30 July, 2025. The match will take place at the Nissan Stadium. Where to watch Liverpool vs Yokohama FM TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on LFCTV. Coverage starts at 10.30am BST ahead of the 11.30am kick-off. Live stream: Subscribers will be able to watch on a live stream via All Red Video (formerly LFCTV GO). A monthly subscription starts at £4.99. Live blog: You can follow all the action on matchday via Standard Sport's live blog! Liverpool vs Yokohama FM team news Liverpool are expected to be without Luis Diaz after the Colombia international was granted permission to leave the club's tour and travel back to Europe to complete his £65.5million transfer to Bayern Munich. Darwin Nunez is a doubt after missing the defeat to Milan through injury, while Joe Gomez has returned to the UK due to an Achilles problem which leaves the Premier League champions with a shortage of natural central defenders. However, summer signing Hugo Ekitike could get his first runout for the Reds as the game at the weekend came too soon following his arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt. Back on home soil, Wataru Endo will be hopeful of getting some minutes under his belt after sitting out the Milan game because of illness. There is also positive news regarding midfielder Alexis Mac Allister who could be in contention to make his first appearance of pre-season after returning to full training. Kaina Tanimura and Ren Kato are doubtful after sustaining injuries in the 3-0 win over Nagoya last time out. On standby for the pair are Asahi Uenaka and former Arsenal youngster Ryo Miyaichi. Liverpool vs Yokohama FM prediction Defensively, Liverpool struggled against Milan as all four goals that were conceded came in transition. Slot's side will not be facing the same standard of quality and will be expected to win convincingly. Yokohama FM's domestic struggles means they are relegation battle, with the upcoming clash against Tokyo Verdy arguably of greater importance. Still, it should be an entertaining friendly with the Premier League champions flexing their superiority. Liverpool to win, 4-1. Head to head (h2h) history and results This will be the first-ever meeting between the two clubs.

Subaru Australia avoids NVES price hikes despite industry trend
Subaru has not ruled out price increases under the Federal Government's New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES), but the company's local boss says it will avoid them for now. While rival brands such as Ford have cited NVES as the reason for the recent price hikes including a $5,000 jump for the Mustang, Subaru has held firm. Subaru managing director Scott Lawrence said the automaker supports the Federal Government's NVES but declined to predict how the regulation might affect the wider market in years to come.

'Look, we've not lifted prices. I can't really speak to the future of price moves. 'Certainly, our intent is to have a product-first strategy, to make sure the product is right for consumers. Ultimately though, consumers will decide.' Price hikes have become a major talking point across the industry as the NVES framework penalises high-emitting vehicles and incentives brands who offer low-emitting vehicles. Hence why several brands have adjusted pricing, with the rising costs often passed on to consumers. Lawrence explained that Subaru's plan to NVES is to provide more powertrain variety, with hybrid, electric and internal combustion models all available in its Australian line-up. 'Overwhelmingly, we support any initiative to reduce emissions,' he said. 'Our response is to keep working with Subaru Corporation to bring in the right products for Australian consumers.' The brand's new 'strong hybrid' Forester joins the fully electric Solterra and other hybrid and petrol models.

Picture: Supplied Lawrence said hybrid tech is becoming the natural next step for traditional buyers as they offer 'more range and confidence', especially in regional Australia where EV infrastructure is limited. However he did say 'EVs will grow'. 'That's why we've committed to providing a full spectrum of choice – from petrol to hybrid to electric,' he said. Subaru has committed to launch eight EVs globally by 2028, though not all will reach Australia. 'EVs will form a bigger and bigger part of the future, but not the sole part,' he said.
