Ebook About A riveting true-life tale of newspaper noir and Japanese organized crime from an American investigative journalist who "pulls the curtain back on ... [an] element of Japanese society that few Westerners ever see" (San Francisco Examiner). Jake Adelstein is the only American journalist ever to have been admitted to the insular Tokyo Metropolitan Police Press Club, where for twelve years he covered the dark side of Japan: extortion, murder, human trafficking, fiscal corruption, and of course, the yakuza. But when his final scoop exposed a scandal that reverberated all the way from the neon soaked streets of Tokyo to the polished Halls of the FBI and resulted in a death threat for him and his family, Adelstein decided to step down. Then, he fought back. In Tokyo Vice he delivers an unprecedented look at Japanese culture and searing memoir about his rise from cub reporter to seasoned journalist with a price on his head.Book Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard) Review :
Heavy on humor, light on tragedy: the way a good autobiography should be. Adelstein makes plenty of observations that can be translated into advice for use outside his professional purview; another sign of a good autobiography. All told, “Tokyo Vice” is a solid mix of information and anecdote. It makes for quick reading that is sometimes educational.Recommended for: people looking for insight on international journalism; people interested in learning about Tokyo's underbelly (at least in a topical sort of way); people researching the sex industry or human trafficking and it's consequences (especially in one of the biggest, most developed cities in the world).Be warned: the discussions about, and descriptions of, what goes on in the sex industry are particular frank and at times unsettling. This seems by design, given Adelstein's later work on investigating human trafficking for the US State Department.Some examples of Adelstein's writing:“Heroes are just people who have run out of choices. You still had a choice. You made the right choice.”“On my way home from the film, I spotted a funny-looking tarot fortune-telling machine at the entrance of an arcade. In my uncertain state of mind, I figured it couldn't hurt to consult an expert.”“That led us into a twenty-minute discussion of the differences between Japanese and U.S. Porn. The reporters were shocked to learn that octopuses and other animals of the sea were rarely used to drape the genitals in American porn and that sex through panty hose wasn't a popular theme. I was asked to bring back some videotapes on my next visit to America.”“Objectivity is a subjective thing.”“The Japanese believe there's a right way to live, to love, to induce female orgasm, to chop off your pinkie, to take off your shoes, to swing a bat, to write an article about homicide, to die -even to kill yourself. There's a right way -a perfect way- to do everything.” I read this book on a recent trip to Japan. I had read about Jake Adelstein in the New Yorker so naturally this stranger in a strange land account sounded find and enjoyable— especially since Adelstein is likely as close to an insider as an gaijin in media history.The first third is about his introduction to Japanese culture as a cub reporter in the suburbs of Tokyo, the next third is what he learned about Japan while working his way, and the remainder is his vendetta against the corrupt and backwards ways crime and graft seep into all levels of Japanese administration through the black hand of the Yakuza.Looking back, this part is the least interesting— enterprising, selfish reporter makes good by taking on the cause of human trafficking and sex slavery. I’ve heard that one before. Still, an awakening is nice to see even if Adelstein’s wife and children suffer while he saves the world (by the way, Jake, at some point you completely stopped writing about your family, rendering your son’s birth to a footnote. That’s cold, man).Still, Adelstein is a good recounted of anecdotes, self deprecating (in a self satisfied way), and can be very funny. I enjoyed this quick read and recommend it while on a trip to Japan.
