If you were wondering what Steve McQueen, Michael Jackson and David Beckham (who?) have in common, look no further. Philip goes solo in Tochigi and may never make it home in a loooong day of travel on public transport.
No patricide in this episode happily, just two killer joints on opposite sides of the country – after a false start in the Nagano mountains.
An avian-themed day as we leave Akita behind and head for the slightly chillier climes of Niigata and a game of two halves
Squeaking our way through northern climes one joint at a time. Three belters – two legends and one serendipitous discovery – for our night in Akita City.

- Missed it
Love what these guys are doing. But such a lost opportunity to include details on any of the sound systems! They even seem to studiously avoid photographing them! How do they manage that. Maybe they not into Hifi but at least get the owner to tell you about it and list a few components. Such effort from these kissa owners goes into the systems, bit if a shame.

Having been to Japan several times I’ve had a mixed experience with these establishments, ranging from refusal of service to some of the best nights I’ve had in the country. This podcast was a real treat, especially during Melbourne’s eternal lockdown, the information is well informed and though I would like a bit more Audiophile insights i... more
