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.
