“15th to 50th” Launches a Timely Anthem: A Global Movement Reminding Us We’re All Cousins
New Anthem “15th to 50th” Reminds Us We’re All Cousins—And Why That Perspective Could Change Everything
What if the person standing next to you wasn’t a stranger, but family? Educator and media innovator Dr. Bernie Furshpan believes it’s not just poetic, it’s a scientific fact. His new movement, 15th to 50th, launches with a powerful music video anthem reminding us that nearly everyone alive today is related within just 15 to 50 generations.
The timing couldn’t be more urgent. “The world has gone mad,” says Dr. Furshpan. “We are more divided than ever, and it’s time to swing the pendulum the other way. When people understand that the air we breathe contains molecules from millions of years ago, and that the atoms in our DNA are as old as the universe itself, it changes how we see each other. We stop looking for enemies and start seeing cousins.”
The anthem, released free to the public, blends the science of genetics with the storytelling power of music. It pulls audiences down a rabbit hole—one where the further you go, the clearer it becomes that the divisions we cling to are illusions. At our core, humanity is a massive extended family.
Dr. Furshpan, already known for his groundbreaking Holocaust education work and the acclaimed documentary The Weight of Memory: I Am Bernie Furshpan, says the project is meant to recalibrate our worldview. “This song is more than a melody. It’s a rallying cry for empathy, for tolerance, for kinship. We’ve tried hatred, separation, and fear. It hasn’t worked. Let’s remind ourselves who we truly are – family.”
The project will expand into schools, corporate workshops, and live events. Merchandise, educational kits, and speaking engagements will sustain the initiative, but the video and message remain free for the world.

Tokyo Soul Singer Tyrone Hashimoto Releases New Single Oct. 2, Plays Tokyo Jazz Club Same Night
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Tyrone Hashimoto (born Shunichi Suzuki), a Tokyo-based singer-songwriter,, plans to release his latest single, "Wake Up in the Morning Sun," across streaming platforms on October 2, per his production company Teddy Bear Productions. The artist will celebrate with a live performance by the Lakeside Struttin’ Band at Sometime Jazz the same evening.
The song arrives as the latest entry in what Hashimoto has called the "Music Cruise" series, an ongoing project now in its seventh installment, according to prior coverage of his work. The announcement describes the new track as an offering of encouragement, framed around the idea that a better life is within reach.
Hashimoto has built a four-decade career that spans well beyond his nine solo albums, all recorded in English, and a catalog the announcement puts at more than 600 original songs. He’s written jingles for McDonald’s, KFC, Nissan, Canon, Sharp, Kodak and Tokyo Disneyland, among other clients, and took a bronze prize at the Cannes Commercial Film Festival in 1994 for a Panasonic spot. One commercial job, for the Japanese coffee brand UCC, reportedly involved bringing James Brown into the studio to sing for the ad.
Originally from Yaita in Tochigi prefecture, Japan,, Hashimoto won the Grand Prix at the first All Japan Folk Music Festival at age 17, citing Simon & Garfunkel and Peter, Paul and Mary among his early influences. He went on to work with Haruomi Hosono’s Tin Pan Alley project, played a role in Yellow Magic Orchestra’s debut album, and became an original member of La Orquesta Del Sol, described in the announcement as Japan’s first major salsa band.
His American profile traces back to a 1987 visit to Seattle, where local press and broadcasters, including KIRO, KUOW and NBC affiliate KING5, covered his music; a KING5 documentary profiling the artist that was subsequently distributed to 37 additional U.S. markets. He has also taught voice and guitar to more than 1,000 students, including Japanese musicians Sugizo, Miyavi, Takeru and Junya Enoki, and recently received an honorary doctorate in music education from University of Perpetual Help System DALTA in the Philippines.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, the throughline here isn’t the single itself but the career behind it: a working musician who has moved fluidly between recording artist, jingle writer and educator for going on 40 years, in two countries, without a signature hit driving any of it.

London indie-punk band Song 1 have released a new five-track EP called What The…., following a year of lineup changes and what the band describes as a shift toward sharper, more off-kilter songwriting.
According to the announcement, the record lands following months of roster adjustments that solidified the five-member configuration, and the record is framed as the sound of that lineup settling into place. The band describes the title not as a literal question but as a kind of shrug, an expression of the loose, sideways attitude that runs through the tracklist.
The EP opens with “Feeling Sideways,” which the band positions as the reset point for this new phase, constructed from restless grooves and crooked rhythms, per the band’s description. The focus single, “Crooked,” follows, built around jagged guitar work, live drums and a melodic bassline, with the line “I move crooked but I land just right” serving as the track’s stated thesis.
“Morning Sun” is described as a tonal shift toward something wider and brighter, using imagery like a “paper weight sky” to move from heavier material toward something more lifted. “Not Lost” continues that throughline lyrically, with the band pointing to the line “I’m not lost, I’m just aligned / With the beat that hides between your time” as a statement of purpose. The EP closes with “My Shadow’s Got Its Own Mind,” which the announcement calls a late-night, low-lit close to the record, framing the band’s embrace of unpredictability as a deliberate stance rather than a lack of direction.
Taken together, the band and its team describe What The …. as the clearest statement yet of Song 1’s identity: an alternative indie-punk work anchored in big hooks, live-wire guitars and knowing self-awareness about not fitting a mold.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching whether “Crooked” gives the band a genuine breakout moment beyond the EP cycle, since focus singles built around a clear lyrical hook are often where a band either finds a wider audience or doesn’t.
No compass or straight lines required, as the band themselves put it, just an audience willing to turn it up.
