What if someone close to you just … vanished one day? That happens to tens of thousands of families a year in Japan, and it happened to Jake Adelstein, too, back in 2018 — when his accountant disappeared, just before tax day. Adelstein, the author of Tokyo Vice, and co-host Shoko Plambeck go in search of that missing accountant, and take us on a journey into the fascinating and bizarre world of Japan’s johatsu, or “evaporated” people.

TYLERRAYMUSIC ,

Fantastic.

I listen to 10+ hours of podcast every day…I have for years…I don’t think I’ve ever felt compelled to write a review before but here I am. Honestly, I started and finished this season today. I was hooked from jump street and never once considered listening to something else.

The narration and progression of the story itself was fascinating. I enjoyed the history lesson alongside the story line.

Can’t wait for the next season.

Thank you.

Someone’s Hot Mother ,

Amazing!

Narrated very well! Story was intriguing and never felt boring or drawn out. I feel like a lot of podcasts put unnecessary fillers to extend their episode count but this podcast did not do that in the slightest. I enjoyed this throughly and I am a little disappointed that I binged it in two days! It was just too good. Amazing work! Hope there’s a second season coming!!

Japan disappearances

Love the show! But I did look up statute of limitations on murder in Japan Apparently, the statute was actually abolished in 2010.
