Deep in Japa‪n‬ Jeff Krueger

This is the J & Trey Happy Hour, where Jeff and Trevor babble on about the latest Japan-related newsーor anything at all whatsoever. This week, Jeff gives a personal update on his daughter Sakura's school life, and then it's off to the topic races with an exploration of Burger King's latest creation: "Super Magma Hottest Meat Wall" one-pound burger, the latest craze in gachapon, the results of a recent NHK fee ruling, and China's unique method to test for COVID on Japanese tourists (Hint: it involves a******s).
