Over the past few days, we’ve been releasing our first set of podcasts, focusing the the music of the 2010s. The first part focused on artists, while the second part focused on idols. The third part focuses on the overall music industry, including Japan’s mess of a chart system, JPop v. KPop, international expansion, and the flop that is Cool Japan.

Featured on the podcast alongside myself are Selective Hearing’s Hannah and Patrick St. Michel of The Japan Times. Check it out below!
