I love this podcast. i am a Japanese person living in the US and i assume most of the audience is not from Japan.

A big thank you for such an amazingly warm podcast. Of the many things people chose to do during the lockdown, I chose to learn a language, Japanese. I read a tweet where someone mentioned – This Week in Japan, and the next thing you know my ears were plugged. Julian Domanski and Yasharu...Read full review »

An eloquent and professional report of current events occurring in Japan! As an Australian, I often feel that we are rather segmented and ostracised from the world news, so it is so refreshing to hear a critical review and reflection on your experience. Julian and Yasu present current events...Read full review »

I’ve really been enjoying listening to this podcast! It’s very informative and there are so many things that I’ve never heard of that are mentioned here! I especially enjoy the Japanese-English section at the end.

This Week in Japan is a well produced show. That's the first thing anyone will notice when tuning in. Clearly a lot of thought and effort is put into each episode in terms of topics, discussion and editing. I really enjoy hearing the two perspectives of Yusa and Julian as they can approach...Read full review »

The hosts are quite funny and easy to listen to. Julian and Yasu provide great viewpoints and interesting opinions on many different Japan-based topics. Not only can I be informed about Japan’s latest news and trends, I can also learn new Japanese words and phrases as well!

I really love the balance of a Western point of view and a Japanese point of view- it keeps the discussion on the latest news out of Japan flowing well. You can tell that Julian and Yasu have a friendship that's comfortable and easy, and it feels like you're listening in on a laid-back...Read full review »

Julian and Yasu knows how to make every episode dinamic and interesting all the way through. I can even say that some episodes has an inspirational vibe that makes me think outside my ocidental box, since Japan has an unlike culture and way of life. Keep up the good work!

Listened to episode “Youngest Ever Shogi Master is Born”. Love the jazzy jingle! Great chemistry and conversation. Very professional and concise. I do find it interesting that the government would be encouraging people to travel with a campaign during this time. You two make some great points....Read full review »
