Jake Adelstein

I got very lucky.

This was my first season, but I got Jake Adelstein, who's the author of Tokyo Vice.

He joined me on this episode to kind of jointly unpack the causes of why so many people would want to jump in front of the trains, which for many outside of Japan, they may not be aware of the daily stresses or the pressures that are put on them by family, school, work, or even society.

And there's that saying in Japan that a nail that sticks up gets nailed down.
