This month’s issue of Connect magazine features lots of October in Japan content and new contributors! We sit down with Hal Edmonson of the AJET Peer Support Group for some insight on their history and the services they provide, and with Nelson Babin-Coy, who’s challenging the rigid music industry in Japan with free downloads and digital marketing.

We also look into some Halloween culture, marathon sports, and the impact of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics announcement. You can find all this and more inside!
