Product Description

Product Description

A collection of stories from the Japanese tabloid press covering a wide range of topics, from sports to sex, crime to politics, social issues to scandal. They illustrate the energetic and inquisitive nature of Japan's weeklies, which often cover stories that the mainstream press do not. The best stories from the last four years are published here: a quirky, lurid, irreverent and unique book that will be fascinating for people who are looking for real news of the country. As a picture of contemporary Japanese society, the book is sometimes shocking, always entertaining, and absolutely true. Each chapter is devoted to a single theme (business life, sexual deviance, violence etc.) and the book as a whole offers a vivid picture of an aspect of Japan that is never presented to the world outside...

4.0 out of 5 stars Eyeopeningly Informative, 10 Jan 2006
By A Customer
For most of us, even those who live in Japan, the writing system is impenetrable, and deprives us of the real stories of crime, scandal and exposure that the Japanese tabloid-style weekly magazines turn out endlessly. Mark Schreiber and his colleagues have done us all a big favour in translating dozens of these funny, sexy, tragic and sometimes downright bizarre articles and give us wonderful snapshots of an unfamiliar world. The Japanese PR machine, which tries so hard to preserve the mystical images of Mt Fuji, cherry blossoms and geisha will be furious at this book. It's not a bad idea to keep a pinch or two of tabloid salt handy but the book shines by its originality and helps us know what's going on in the real Japan.
