Episode 40 sustained lava fountaining at the summit of Kīlauea began at 822 a.m. HST on January 12, 2026. This VOD is from 1507 to 1822. 1128 to 1507 part of the VOD.
This fountaining was preceded by several days of significant precursory activity that included cyclic spatter and dome fountains from both the north and south vents that fed large lava flows on the crater floor including a flow from the south vent that reached 1,000 meters (3,300 feet) in length.
Sustained lava fountains erupting from the north vent are currently reaching heights of more than 200 meters (660 feet) and feeding a lava flow on the crater floor. Intermittent spatter continues from the south vent.
The main video feeds have no audio; we were feeding audio into the combined output of this stream (Yolobox to streaming ingests).
HVO update: Episode 40 ended at 604 pm HST after 9.7 hours of eruption from the north vent. The south vent was not active during the high fountain phase. Lava flows covered about one half to two thirds of the Halemaʻumaʻu crater floor.

LUNATIC FEST 2025 Writeup (in progress)
LUNA SEA's drummer Shinya (Yamada) made a "surprise" appearance at LUNATIC FEST 2025 after deciding to sit out from performing due to the discovery of a brain tumor several months ago. He decided to turn over the drumming duties to a long trusted friend; his former student and drum technician, Jun-ji (Sakuma) who was the drummer for SIAM SHADE (and has been support drummer for many different acts).
Doctors originally informed him that he might require the use of crutches for 3 months while undergoing chemotherapy (which began in September 2025), but he has been able to stand and walk unassisted after just the first month (back in early September, he still attended a festival in his hometown albeit in a wheelchair, and required assistance to stand for a short time to perform the opening ceremony/make a short speech). Part of me believes this rapid recovery is due to the inherent stamina required to even play the drums the way he does.
He made this appearance on day 1 of the festival (walking on stage, giving a short speech of thanks/gratitude, and announcing the bands Xmas concert where he hopes to be able to play the drums at least in a limited capacity), and did the same on day 2 (though it didn't have the same surprising/emotional effect). It was incredibly inspirational to have been able to experience this moment in person.
NOTE: excuse the raw audio vocal quality; it's basically minimally processed soundboard where you can hear how rough the vocals are (can still hear how Ryuichi's singing voice still hasn't recovered after past vocal chord surgeries). Will be interesting to hear the broadcast version in December and the future Bluray DVD release once the audio goes through its usual post-production processing.
Hosting (approved by Timo) this unmuted VOD (muted music audio on Twitch) with Twitch chat (out of sync delayed for 1-1.5 minutes for at least the first hour) of BOB2025 (formerly known as BOSF or the Beppu Onsen Shower Fes) for TimoInBeppu which she live streamed on August 23, 2025 JST (her guest is her friend, Vanessa). The festival started in the morning and was held at Matogahama Park/Beppu Spa Beach. This VOD has the performances for 宮迫博之, DJ O.G（三崎優太）and Marc Panther (ex-globe).
The hotel is located on the Hilo bay front where a section of that inlet also narrows (further funneling effect) and allows such tidal fluctuations from tsunami to easily flood onto the property. Their security camera captures the rapid inundation of the drop off area (which also entered the lobby area and flooded around 10 rooms on the lower floor).
