This week we speak to elite drummer Mike Marrington (https://mikemarrington.weebly.com/) on his experiences supporting Japanese super-groups SMAP and SEKAI NO OWARI playing the biggest arenas in Japan, supporting the victims of the 3/11 Tsunami, and how his life has changed in the COVID Pandemic.
We have started to get Covid19 under control, but the effects will last years, if not longer. @japanwut discusses smartphone tracking measures, the (potential) Olympics cancellation, and people who try to skip on Shinkansen tickets to collect government payouts. All this plus Japanese Black Lives Matter demonstrations and more! w/music by @shamanzsounds.
