music, podcasts, and recordings from tokyo
Podcasts and self-produced music from Tokyo. AI trends from Tokyo, Asia News Analysis, Odd Japanese Items, and documenting the rising conflict in the Indo-Pacific region.
Matt and OneTwenty discuss making music from scratch, NFT values, a camera tip of the week, Ageha — the biggest club in Japan closing — and how all of the COVID signage is beginning to look like those aging SALE signs in shops that nobody goes into where everything has been 25% off for years.
