Kicking off Japan Today Spotlight with a deep dive into Trump’s re-election and what it means for Japan!

A quick update about something new I’m trying out. We just launched the very first episode of Japan Today Spotlight — a video series where we dive deep into one of the week’s biggest stories in Japan. The first topic? Well, I took a look at how Donald Trump’s re-election might affect Japan. It’s a topic that’s been making waves, so the chief editor thought it would be an interesting one to kick things off.

As with anything new, there are a few growing pains — you know, the usual tech issues, getting the rhythm of the show down, and working out the flow. But I’m excited to keep improving and make these deep dives a regular thing.

I’m hoping to dig into a mix of major headlines and a few of the lesser-known stories that don’t always get the attention they deserve.

If you’ve got a minute, I’d love for you to check out the first episode. The link is right here, and I’d appreciate any feedback you have as I keep tweaking things!

And don’t worry, this isn’t replacing the Japan This Week podcast— we’re just mixing things up a bit with some extra content. This Spotlight series is a new experiment in that direction.

Thanks for your support!

Catch you soon,
