The Japan According to Akil Podcast gives you an inside peek into what life is really like living in Tokyo Japan as Akil shares the news, stories, everyday comedy that comes with life in Japan.

First I have to apologize again to one of our most active listeners, Rod, for not including some information you gave previously. I am adding the links you sent me to the list for the next episode so I do not forget again (instead of trying to remember off the top of my head, smh).

My bad for the second time. I like to do what I say and I wanted to make my apology public this time.

In this episode I give a quick New Year’s recap, more Olympic foolishness, and much more.
