Love Death + Torches - This Week In Japan

Thursday, May 27, 2021 • Duration 51:19

Content warning for Homophobia, Transphobia, and general anti-LGBT bigotry starting at 14:45. Skip to 20:15.

Editor's Note: Jon's Japanese tongue twister does not mean "The customer next to me is eating white peaches". Instead, it means "The customer next to me is eating lots of persimmons".

This Week In Japan: The legendary missing python has been discovered in an unexpected location, a train driver takes world's riskiest sh*t, Japanese officials debate LGBT discrimination, foreigners banned from dinner, President Macron announces visit to Japan, and Jon poses as a reporter to see the Olympic Torch relay.

Also, Kentaro Miura, creator of the legendary manga Beserk, passes away. Sources: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20210522/k10013045901000.html?utm_int=all_side_ranking-access_001

Down with the Sickness - This Week In Japan

Thursday, May 20, 2021 • Duration 49:04

Wah-ah-ah-ah.

This Week In Japan: Demon Slayer, so hot right now

Kindergarten Cop

The code is more like guidelines, anyway

It takes queue

Robocide in Shinjuku?

And, inevitably, the mess that is Japan, covid, vaccines, and... the Olympics.

Snakes on a Lane - This Week In Japan

Thursday, May 13, 2021 • Duration 48:50

Snake? Snake! Snaaaaaaaaake!

In other news, Japan makes the same bad puns as us, a tower that should not exist hasn't been demolished yet, cake is sporty now, and drying clothes on a wacky wavy inflatable-arm tube man. I promise no drugs were involved in this. I know, I'm dissappointed too.
