There is a lot going on in the world and we know you want to stay informed. You are the reason JAPAN Forward launched The Week - a podcast for busy people who want to keep abreast of Japan’s culture, politics, business, economy and research worlds. Hosted by Arielle Busetto.
In our fifth episode we discuss an interview with Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his recent eight-day international trip. We also talk about Japan’s slow return to normal life as Japan learns to live with COVID, photography in the tranquility of Meiji Jingu, and the Summer Sumo Tournament starting as Golden Week holidays end.
