Regular JTET co-hosts Jon Steele and James Taylor get together for another monthly update of the topsy-turvy world of J3. The episode begins with a discussion of recent goalfests involving Kochi United (start to 08:50), then takes in the standout attacking performances of Paulo Junichi Tanaka (08:50 to 17:30), Giravanz Kitakyushu’s impressive defence (17:30 to 20:25), a checkup of James’ beloved Zweigen Kanazawa (20:25 to 32:10), and a look at the bottom of J3, with a brief focus on the struggles of Thespa Gunma and Azul Claro Numazu (32:10 to end).
