In Suburbia

Episode 19: This week we brave the burbs and commuter belt around Tokyo to check out four fab places. After Powell, Monks and Swan, where James gets free beer, we finish up in the awesome Umi (on our second attempt), once the heart of a thriving community centred round a postwar US Army base. Thanks as always to Brian of groovesahead.com for audio assistance and Louie Lastic for our theme music.
