After the 2018 J.League season got going over the weekend, Neil Debnam, Sam Robson, Alan Gibson and Stuart Smith guested to round it all up.

In Part 1 Neil (in a storming J-Talk debut) discusses what it was like to be there when Kawasaki sealed the J1 title last season, reviews their opening day win at Iwata, and looks ahead at Frontale's prospects for this season (to 31:25).

Then Alan and Sam (together at last!) recap the rest of the games from J1 Matchday 1 (to 1:12:50).

Finally Stuart returns with the pick of the games from the first round of J2.

Once again, the audio sounded fine to me volume-wise throughout editing (after significant amplification), but if these issues remain for you please let me know in the comments or on twitter @JTalkPod
