It appears that I’ve hit the mark with the readers of LIVE FROM JAPAN!
“LIVE FROM JAPAN is a lovely book in many ways. The spirit of the book is to encourage community between John Rachel’s adopted country and his birth country and the book itself invites, entertains, nourishes and charms, supporting that end.” – Amazon Review April 26, 2021
“An expats perspective which sheds light on the unique and quirky aspects of Japanese country life. Highlights include anecdotal descriptions of the great care taken in daily rituals, food customs, and the courtesy extended to people and place.” – Amazon Review May 15, 2021
“John’s perceptions reminded me of my mixture of awe and puzzlement over Japanese ways and how each generation has distinctive formative influences.” – Amazon Review March 15, 2021

For those of you not living in Japan, let me explain that Tsutaya is the biggest retail distributor of books, games, and videos in this nation.
Today I got some good news! Tsutaya here in town will be stocking the Japanese version of my book. If it goes well, the sky is the limit . . . at least the sky over the Land of the Rising Sun.
Several of my Japanese friends have reported that the book is fun to read and funny. My Japanese is too rudimentary for me to know. I was certainly hoping that my humor would translate across the language and cultural barriers.
The Japanese version is not yet available online anywhere. For those of you who speak and read English, opportunities abound!
