After the final stage at Bayanbulak, Zhang Chi (played by Shen Teng) is invited to compete in a brand-new event, the “Muchen 100 Rally,” as the head coach of the team. The once “wild” racer now steps onto the international stage. Facing a completely new course filled with top-tier competitors, Sun Yuqiang (played by Yin Zheng) and Ji Xing (played by Zhang Benyu) once again fight side by side with Zhang Chi. Powerful drivers such as Lin Zhendong (played by Huang Jingyu) are also invited to join, and a team built on top-level speed and shared belief is formed. However, Zhang Chi soon realizes that the true challenge does not seem to come from the race itself. Beneath the surface, tensions are rising beyond the track, casting uncertainty over their high-speed journey ahead.

2026 Japan Lecture Series – Carnegie's First Glimpse of Japan, March 12 in Braddock.

The Japan America Society of Pennsylvania will present "Carnegie's First Glimpse of Japan" on March 12, parts of its 2026 Japan Lecture Series.

Pittsburgh...October 17, 1878. Andrew Carnegie receives a telegram. If he can get to San Francisco by the 24th he can make the ship for Japan. With the new transcontinental railroad, the launching of transpacific steamship travel, and the opening of the Suez Canal, around-the-world travel was all the rage. Just in his early 40s at the time, Carnegie had begun to build his empire of steel but was little known beyond the Mon Valley. Japan was the first stop on his global excursion and began his life-long interaction with the first Asian powerhouse of the emerging international order.

Hear about his visit and his years of interactions with Japanese leaders from JASP member Sam Kidder, editor of Our First Glimpse of Japan: Prominent American Visitors to Japan in the 1870s. Experience our own fascinating local history at the newly renovated Carnegie One Braddock, the first U.S. library and community center of over 2,500 Carnegie funded worldwide.

Join the JASP for this free evening at Carnegie One Braddock on March 12, 2026. Light hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be provided.

Japanese metal band HANABIE。 returns to Pittsburgh, March 20.

Japanese metal band HANABIE。will return to Pittsburgh on March 20, part of their North American tour with Nekrogoblikon and Enterprise Earth. Their Reddit fanpage provides an introduction:

Loud rock band HANABIE。formed at their school light music club in June 2015. Centering in Kichijōji, Tokyo, they started performing live around areas such as Shinjuku and Tachikawa.

The sound of Hanabie features the sound mixture of metalcore, hardcore, Hip-Hop, and J-POP. Their 1st album, "Girls Manifest" was released in 2020. With this album, they have established their own genre "HARAJUKUCORE"

Their live performances have a speed and power that exceeds expectations and captivates their audience. Yukina's powerful screaming/growling vocals never leave anyone without being amazed, along with this excellent melodic lines given by the clean voice of Matsuri, this is a complete basis for an amazing metalcore band but as for them it isn't enough they add different layers of voices between rap lines. If vocally they are great, in the instrumental part they're not left behind, aggressive, heavy, and dynamic. Certainly to define this band you need at least two words: dynamic and powerful.

The band played Preserving Underground in New Kensington in September 2023 and March 2025, and the Roxian Theatre in September 2024.

The all ages show at the Roxian Theatre in McKees Rocks (map) begins at 6:00 pm, and tickets are available online.
