J. C. resumes his public life with his first podcaast since his ole CFS condition took him out of circulation with the premiere of one of his life's ambitions, namely the digital remastering of all known ZERO HOUR World War II Japanese radio broadcasts. Many of these broadcasts were impossible to hear clearly until now. Also, the digitally remastered material ranges from sexy and imaginative languid musical segues by the Japanese-American patriot saboteur Iva Toguri to the incredible joking about dropping the atomic bomb in skits produced by American POWs in cooperation with and under the directions of the Japanese army and broadcast over Radio Tokyo! J. C. was mighty ill while making these remasterings, having his head on his desk much of the time in-between steps in the remastering process, and thought much about the suffering of the American POWs who produced the very same shows he was remastering. The result in both these cases were the production of moments of magic, and during this podcast and in each following ZERO HOUR podcasts over the coming weeks & months, we'll be hearing all this incredible audio magic in the new shorter & more efficient show format that this program will adopt from now on commencing with this podcast. It is by and through the support of this rarified material that J. C. embarks on the purpose of this podcast, which is to play the great Japanese & Asian music that comes into or goes outta NYC. Thereby he previews the In The Sun #4 Show at The Knitting Factory Sunday Nov. 30th featuring Uzuhi, The Royal Lowkick Manah, Suaka and Beluga; Yasuyo's of Love Etc's birthday party at the Love Berry Show at The Knitting Factory Friday Dec. 5th, featuring the Sakura Madams special acoustic set preview of their 2009 CD, Anna Copa Cabanna and the MG5, Hide and Jones, Air Row and DJ Hayden Honey of presenter KarateRice; the Baby Shakes CD release party with The Back C.C.'s at The Cake Shop Friday Dec. 5th; and the Wind Down Sunday show at Otto's Shrunken Head Sunday Dec. 14th where Mr. Frank Woods presents Kossan with special appearance by Kaori Ibuki, his fellow Happyfunsmile alumnus.

EarthStation1.com Press Release
******************************************************************* Veteran's Day (Observed), Monday November 12th, 2007: After 62 years of silence, THE ZERO HOUR returns to the airwaves! It's been three generations since THE ZERO HOUR was, to the benefit all concerned, successfully knocked off the air by the victory of America and her allies over the Imperial Japanese war machine. Then, it was a satire of a propaganda show, aimed at American G.I.'s fighting in the Pacific, featuring popular American music, written by POW's who were beaten and starved into doing it, and starring the great American saboteur Iva Toguri, the disc jockey these POWs trained in the subversion and undermining of its content. Now...the weapon the Japanese militarists dropped has been picked up & turned back against them - & in the grooviest possible way, baby! THE ZERO HOUR once again returns to the airwaves -- only THIS time, it features contemporary Japanese rock bands, playing music our grandparents fought to free them up to play, aimed at the greater New York City area & the whole wide world via the web!!! That's right! THE ZERO HOUR returns to the airwaves after a lifetime with what Martin Luther King called "the weapon of love" - the *incredible* rock music the Japanese have made their own & added their own unique genius and sparkle to - and it's gunning for YOUR heart, you lovely soldier of love, you!!! "Zero hour" for this one-time-only broadcast (if the show is successful & convinces the station that it meets their needs, maybe they'll consider making it a regular show of it sometime?!?) is 9:00 AM Eastern Time U.S.A...."Zero day" is Saturday, December 1st, 2007... and "Zero station" is the HERO station, WFMU, 91.1 FM, Jersey City, New Jersey (exactly across the Hudson River from "Ground Zero" NYC) AND *it will be broadcast live on the world wide web at wfmu.org* where it will be archived in MP3 format for 2 weeks afterwards & for all the ages afterwards in RealAudio! As you may be aware, in addition to having gained some expertise in her known surviving ZERO HOUR recordings, Iva "Tokyo Rose" Toguri was my personal friend and a mentor as well, and the press release she authored for use when she passed on thanked me as well as others for standing by her and fighting to correct the historical record regarding her. In spite of all she endured at the hands of both the American and Japanese governments, she made me promise that I would do whatever I could to help bring about good American/Japanese relations. At the time, I did not know quite how I would be able to do that - but I don't wonder any more!!! THE ZERO HOUR is BACK on the air, and it's playing the *excellent* Japanese music that embodies the very best of the hopes and dreams of all the brave young Americans who fought and died to ensure that Japan's children and grandchildren would grow up living in freedom!!! NOW, America & Japan are holding hands & ***they're not letting go***!!! THE ZERO HOUR is back on the air, soldiers of love everywhere!!! As "Orphan Ann" (Iva's actual on-air name) used to say at the end of all her broadcasts-- "Always remember to be good!" In love and kindness, J. C. Kaelin, Jr.

THE ZERO HOUR returns to the airwaves after a lifetime with what Martin Luther King called "the weapon of love" - the *incredible* rock music the Japanese have made their own & added their own unique sparkle and genius to - and it's gunning for YOUR heart, you lovely soldier of love, you!!! It's been three generations since THE ZERO HOUR was, to the benefit all concerned, successfully knocked off the air by the victory of America and her allies over the Imperial Japanese war machine. Then, it was a satire of a propaganda show, aimed by Japan at American G.I.'s in the Pacific, written by American P.O.W.'s who were beaten and starved into doing it, featuring popular American music and starring the great American saboteur Iva Toguri, the disc jockey these P.O.W.'s trained in the subversion and undermining of its content. But now...the weapon that Tojo and his militarist clique dropped has been picked up & turned back against them - & in the grooviest possible way, baby! THE ZERO HOUR once again returns to the airwaves -- only THIS time, it features contemporary Japanese rock bands performing in New York City, playing music our grandparents fought to free them up to play, mixed in with the rarest Japanese World War II radio there is direct from J. C.'s own famed "Ozone Lair" media archives, and aimed at the greater New York Metropolitan area & the whole wide world via the world wide web!!! In addition to having gained an especial expertise in her known surviving ZERO HOUR show recordings, Iva Ikoku Toguri a.k.a. "Tokyo Rose", the infamous but innocent Japanese-American radio broadcaster of the Second World War, was my good personal friend and mentor, and the press release she authored for use when she passed on thanked me as well as others for standing by her and fighting to correct the historical record regarding her. I was fortunate through her friendship and that of her associates Dafydd Dyar and Barbara Trembley to obtain access to much valuable material, the most important resource being Iva herself, ultimately resulting in my creating the The EarthStation1 "Orphan Ann" (Tokyo Rose) Sound & Picture Archive and THE ZERO HOUR World War II Sound & Picture Archive in 1997, featuring her complete known ZERO HOUR recordings, which I digitally remastered from often inaudible originals, and an extensive online photo gallery containing many taken from her own personal photo albums and library. Iva and I often had conversations where we each expressed our firm belief that Japan's greatest global contribution was not to be found in her economic or technological dominance but rather in her art and culture. To my mind, Japanese rock music *embodies certain proof of that contribution on a grand scale*, it's everything Tojo and his gang would have hated, and I daresay it's all Yamamoto and those of his lot would have smiled upon - and it says so much that the state of advancement of Japan's culture is now such that she unselfconciously sports Churchill's "'V' For Victory" hand signal as a customary greeting of peace and good will! In spite of all she endured at the hands of both the American and Japanese governments, Iva made me promise that I would do whatever I could to help bring about good American/Japanese relations. At the time, I did not know quite how I would be able to do that - but now that I've got THE ZERO HOUR J-Rock Podcast goin', I don't wonder any more!!! THE ZERO HOUR is BACK on the air, and it's playing the *excellent* Japanese music that embodies the very best of the hopes and dreams of all the brave young Americans who fought and died to ensure that Japan's children and grandchildren would grow up living in freedom!!! NOW, America & Japan are locked in a rock lovin' embrace & ***they ain't nevah lettin' go!!!*** THE ZERO HOUR is back on the air, soldiers of love everywhere!!! About THEFor more about J. C.
