After a very eventful J1 Matchday, Alan Gibson joined Jonny and Ben to chat about Kobe's win over Nagoya - that ended on a somber note after the sickening collision between Vissel players Matheus Thuler and Daiya Maekawa - then a rough week for Gamba Osaka, who lost 1-0 at home in both the ACL Two semi final first leg, and the Osaka derby (to 42:30). Then Alan reflects on his incredible trip to the UK to watch Japan's friendlies against Scotland and England (to 1:02:43).

In Part 2 we round up the rest of the west (to 1:11:05), then all five games from the east, before finishing the episode with a look at the upcoming slate of top flight action.
