    It's the "Tax Day" edition of the XAR Podcast with JR and Nef, as well as "National Anime Day." After JR gripes about having to buy new speakers, discussions turn to "National Anime Day" and why nobody can seem to figure out who created the day in the first place. Topics also include Marriagetoxin, Love Through a Prism (featuring a musical artist featured on XAR's GT Lounge program), JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, The Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime, sports news including the retirement of a Toronto broadcasting legend and soccer fever hitting a high "pitch." We also discuss Japan's March tourist numbers, and the government's ambitious plans to expand Anime's global reach. As a bonus, we also present the newest Yumemi artwork and livery in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Note to Spotify and audio listeners: The previous episode of the podcast was a video-only release, featuring Bri and JR's Japan 2026 trip report.

    We celebrate the end to another season of the podcast!

Among other topics, JR previews a "side project" experiment being put in place for XAR's upcoming 25th anniversary, and the question is asked if one would try a Japanese pizza made with strawberry kit kats. Nef talks about the new seasonal plane service operating from Canada to Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido, and reviews the latest in his manga library. We also give a birthday salute to our favorite host from north of the border. If you are watching the video version of the podcast, we apologize as Nef's video lagged as the show went on.
