The Truth About SEGA Japan's Arcade Closures
SEGA has lost 2 of its most iconic Japanese Game Center Arcades in the last year. Places that were a part of the landscape. I recently did a mini documentary about this over on Tokyo Lens (https://youtu.be/mmxFaCVYMCc) and today we are taking a peek at a special episode pulled from one of my other podcasts, and looking at what reeeeeally happened...

Been thinking about moving out of Tokyo lately... Perhaps its been all the camping (which we cover in great detail in this episode) or perhaps its just the appeal of a new lifestyle and adventure. Oh... This episode is mostly about Camping in Japan because.... it's awesome!

Customer Reviews
Most relaxing podcast
I found this podcast a few months ago and have slowly been listening through it. Norm’s voice is really calming and I find this to be the easiest podcast to listen to later in the day.
I do wish it was ongoing!
Brilliant Podcast
I’m going to Japan next month and as well as brushing up on the language, getting in the mood for the culture comes along with it and this podcast by far does it best. Great pacing and topics, love it! My only criticism - I wish they were longer! Much longer!! ありがとうございます！！
Tokyo Lens Podcast
Ok, you may have seen Norm's videos on the Tokyo Lens channel on Youtube, seen his pictures on his instagram or just follow him on Twitter but this is his podcast. Here he gets to talk about various subjects around what he does in Japan, his Shamisen playing, his content creation and stories about what he has done and is doing in his life. Unlike in the Youtube videos, here he can expand on points and give a lot more detail over the course of about an hour. If you are interested in Japan, Shamisen music, being a content creator or just generally the things you have seen him doing through other channels then this is well worth a listen.
