revelatory look at Japanese culture from the underbelly up r r At nineteen Jake Adelstein went to Japan in search of peace and tranquility What he got was a life of crime crime reporting that is at the prestigious Yomiuri Shinbun For twelve years of eighty-hour workweeks he covered the seedy side of Japan where extortion murder human trafficking and corruption are as familiar as ramen noodles and sake But when his final scoop brought him face to face with Japan s most infamous yakuza boss and the threat of death for him and his family Adelstein decided to step down momentarily Then he fought back r r In Tokyo Vice Adelstein tells the riveting often humorous tale of his journey from an inexperienced cub reporter who made rookie mistakes like getting into a martial-arts battle with a

problems with anger and self-control I had been studying Zen Buddhism and karate and I thought Japan would be the perfect place to reinvent myself It could be that my pointy right ear draws me toward neo-Vulcan pursuits--I don t know / When I got to Japan I managed to find lodgings in a Soto Zen Buddhist temple where I lived for three years attending zazen meditation at least once a week I didn t become enlightened but I did get a better hold on myself / Question / How did you become a journalist for the most popular Japanese-language newspaper / Jake Adelstein / The Yomiuri Shinbun runs a standardized test open to all college students Many Japanese firms hire young grads this way My friends thought that the idea of a white guy trying to pass a Japanese journalist s exam was so impossibly quixotic that I wanted to prove them wrong I spent an entire year eating instant ramen and studying I managed to find the time to do it by quitting my job as an English teacher and working as a Swedish-massage therapist for three overworked Japanese women two days a week It turned out to be a slightly sleazy gig but it paid the bills / There was a point when I was ready to give up studying and the application process Then when I was in Kabukicho on June 22 1992 I asked a tarot fortune-telling machine for advice on my career path and it said that with my overpowering morbid curiosity I was destined to become a journalist a job at which I would flourish and that fate would be on my side I took that as a good sign I still have the printout / I did well enough on the initial exam to get to the interviews and managed to stumble my way through that process and get hired I think I was an experimental case that turned out reasonably well / Question / How did you
