Today I am joined by writer Ryo Miyauchi who runs the blog and newsletter This Side of Japan, where he reviews and catalogs the best in new Japanese music. Ryo and I first met when we wrote for the website Unrecorded in the mid-2010s. I’ve always been impressed with Ryo’s voracious appetite for new music, as well as his prolific output as a writer.
Those qualities have carried over to This Side of Japan. I was psyched to have Ryo on to talk about his workflow, his perspective on the Japanese music scene as someone living in the USA, and a grab bag of other topics related to his excellent newsletter.
