    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.

  • Comedic and Informational about a Japanese sub culture

    Friends and some sparring partners put their eyes, ears and camera lense to weirdness of Japan. Whilst it is about Jazz and Jazz Kissa it’s in the same way that PBS CarTalk was both about and also not about advice on cars. It’s the journey and their observations that lead to insightful and funny recollections. These guys really know Japan. Great fun, also buy the book.

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
