ARMED FORCES ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS: HALESTORM
Widely acknowledged as one of modern hard rock’s most explosive live acts, the Grammy Award winning band released their third studio album, Into the Wildlife in 2015 and will fi nish Until their new album in 2018. Recorded in Nashville with Grammy-nominated producer Jay Joyce at the helm, Into the Wildlife was highlighted by the historic new single, “Apocalyptic.” The track ascended to the top at Active Rock radio outlets nationwide in an astounding nine weeks—the fi rst time a femalefronted band has scored #1 hits at the format three times as well as the fi rst to have #1 songs from two consecutive albums. Halestorm’s just-released EP of cover songs, Reanimate 3.0, came in at #5 on the Billboard/Soundscan charts earlier this year. The band has seen incredible success in addition to two #1 rock singles and a top five album, as they also had their song “Here’s To Us” performed on Glee, won a Grammy, performed at the AP Music Awards, have had multiple magazine covers and sold out US and European tours.

WATCH JAPAN’S NATIONAL SPORT LIVE IN TOKYO WITH MISAWA ITT Sumo wrestling is a deep-seated tradition in Japanese culture and is closely aligned with Shinto, the native religion of Japan. The first sumo matches were held on the grounds of Shinto shrines to honor the kami, or spirits, and to ensure a bountiful harvest. Sumo matches have evolved over time and are now held in arenas in cities across Japan, but the essence of the sport is still performed with Shinto customs, dress and rituals at its core. Page 15
