A bumper length episode today as our journey comes to a climactic end with a manic, phenomenal day of discovery, and we hit 7 joints around Kyushu. More importantly, James finally reveals the secret ingredient to his luscious locks: the reason that you’ve really been listening all this time….We hope you’ve enjoyed coming on this epic trip with us, and thanks for all the listens and downloads. 
Happy New Year from TJJ!

Part 6 of 5 Days in June brings us easily the most beautiful location of any jazz kissa ever, and the uncovering of a beautiful Fender Rhodes hidden in a B&B, before a slightly frustrating afternoon of shuttered shops and a desperate search for some food!
