Note from the compiler:
Greetings and thank you to anyone who reads this weekly newsletter! I apologize for the break I took last week.
I hope this is a helpful resource to stay abreast of the latest developments in Japan and an entertaining list of news that interests a wide range of readers. My aim has been to be both informative and professional in the way I compile the news every week.
Here is this week’s newsletter. We will be back and running with a full version starting next week.
