In January, regional newspaper Fukushima Minpo interviewed Yosuke Takagi, state minister of economy, trade and industry.

Tokio's "Dash Island"; David Atkinsonon craftsman; CM of the week: SoftBank
After the March 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, the boy band Tokio had to abandon its farm project, Dash Village, because it fell within the area contaminated by the reactor accident. Since then the quintet has started a new project as part of its long-running show "Za Tetsuwan Dash" ("The Iron Arm Dash"; Nihon TV, Sun., 7 p.m.) called Dash Island. They've been working on building a residence and a small railway on an abandoned island in the Seto Inland Sea. This week they craft a bow and arrow set using materials found on the island and then try it out by recreating the famous Heian Era pastime of shooting arrows at a fixed target from a moving horse — except they don't have a horse so they shoot arrows from a moving hand car.
