Thanks for tuning in, and for subscribing. This week we made the 20-minute limit!

Today we clean up a few corrections, errors from past shows that listeners have been kind enough to point out.

Then we review significant changes in Japan's relationship with the People's Republic of China, and then take an in-depth look at significant recent developments in two of Japan's other opposition parties, the Social Democratic Party and the Japan Communist Party.

And we close with a clip from John Starling of the Seldom Scene singing "Gardens and Memories."

Here are a few links to individuals and organizations mentioned on today's show:

The Japan Considered Project Website

The Social Democratic Party of Japan [in Japanese]

The Japan Communist Party
