In the words of our boi Noah Oskow over Unseen Japan, "It’s been fourteen years since the release of Jake Adelstein’s seminal memoir Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan. Since then, the book has become the go-to popular non-fiction for those interested in the Japanese underworld. Tokyo Vice was still a mainstay in true crime sections at North American bookstores even before HBO began airing a fictionalized adaptation on their steaming platform, now known as Max; that series, with its premier episode directed by Michael Mann, has become a major hit, with a second season around the corner. So, what better time could there be for Jake to release the long-awaited sequel to Vice, The Last Yakuza?"
And what better time could there be for a Jake Adelstein interview, amirite?
