Hey guys, it’s been a while since we released our last episode but here’s some update on our YouTube activity.

First of all, the Ken Watanabe video that we helped Chris produce is finally out! We’ve spent “months” coordinating things besides filming and editing it, so hope you guys check it out!

Besides, we’ve made another video with Chris on our J*pan Go! channel. The video’s about Olive Wagyu which is considered one of the most elusive cuts of Wagyu beef in J*pan today.

Hey everybody! Sorry if you checked in for a new episode yesterday and couldn't find it. We were, unfortunately, unable to record this week but will be releasing a new episode a bit earlier next week on Thursday 23rd December.
That will also be our final show of the year as we start to wind down for Winter vacation. We hope you'll all be having fun and enjoying time with family.
As we close up for 2021 though, let us know, what were some of YOUR favourite stories of this year in J*pan?

Hey guys! If you were wondering why there's no new episode this week, it's because we're currently in Kesennuma (Tohoku) this weekend assisting our good friend Chris Broad with an upcoming video!

Later today we'll be filming J*pan's greatest actor, Mr. Ken Watanabe as he rocks out on stage. We won't spoil too much now but just wanted to give you guys a little teaser of what's to come. We don't know the exact date but it should be out by the end of the year on the Abroad in J*pan channel and we're all super excited for you to see it.

Sorry again but we'll be back next week though for your listening pleasure!
