Japan stories from the Web (starting with NPR)

With the encouragement of NPR following the weekly Thursday 11 a.m. tour of their studios in Washington, DC, I collected links for many of their features of the last few years. It's mostly in English (apart from some interview/lyrics). Several are musician related. For cultural background, they all make for good listening.

I've skipped over duplicates, inappropriate or very narrowly focused topics.
