We think the Pink Cow in Shibuya is near the Budokan. You could walk it if you wanted to.

But seriously, we are very excited to announce that the first live edition of Seijigiri will take place at the Pink Cow in Shibuya on Thursday, June 4 from about 7:30pm. This is part of the Pink Cow’s ongoing Pink Cow Connections, a series of networking events organized by Anthony Blick.

The event will open with a presentation on Trans-Pacific Radio, followed by the live Seijigiri. After that, there will be a special announcement and demonstration of TPR’s most recent project.

The live show itself will involve Garrett, Ken and the audience. The essential concept is that Seijigiri and the audience will have no barrier between them, and the show will be an interactive event.

We hope to see all of our listeners on Thursday June 4 and look forward to doing the show with you!

Please follow the cut for venue and show information.

Welcome to PCC monthly networking seminar presented in English!
The PCC is a group that comes together to help us, as creative business people, help ourselves and each other. We have guest speakers, learning programs, and networking. The PCC events are designed to “bring together people building businesses” in a creative, casual atmosphere that facilitates intelligent conversation and business connections. Great food, drinks, information and people.

Pink Cow Connections #63: What is the current state of the Japanese economy? How did we get here and what’s ahead? What should the government do and more importantly, what will it do?

These and other questions about the economy will be explored during a special version of PCC on June 4. Garrett DeOrio and Ken Worsley, two of the top commentators on Japanese economics, business, and politics, will conduct a live version of Seijigiri - their very popular podcast on Trans-Pacific Radio with full audience participation. The audience will be asked to pose questions and give opinions throughout the program. For those who regularly listen to Seijigiri or BizCast Japan, this will be a unique opportunity to participate in a simulation of the show itself.

Trans-Pacific Radio produces a variety of Japan-centric podcasts and streaming audio releases, covering news, politics, business and Japanese baseball. TPR was co-founded by Garrett DeOrio and Ken Worsley in 2006 as an attempt to merge audio content with a blogging format.

Topics to be covered include:

1) What is the true current state of Japan’s economy and what are some of the largest problems facing policymakers?

2) When can we expect to see an economic recovery?

3) Which firms or individuals might emerge from the recession as winners or losers?

4) What are the global and domestic factors contributing to the economic malaise?

5) What effect has government stimulus spending had on spurring a possible recovery?
