Deep In Japan

This is the J & Trey Happy Hour, where Jeff and Trevor babble on about the latest Japan-related news, or anything at all whatsoever. This week, we share recent updates in the Callem saga, the Japanese ultranationalist from New Zealand, discuss bounded rationality (or 限定合理性, which is new vocab for me), recount a tale of attempted family suicide (一家心中, another great one) outlined in Paul Murphy’s True Crime Japan — and even discuss a bit of the latest Japanese news. That’s right, it’s one of those 'everything and the kitchen sink episodes.' Hell, we even find time to talk about the biwa! The Deep in Japan Podcast is completely independent and crowd-funded. And by that, I mean we are broke, impecunious, poor.
