Tokyo Daze: A Gaijin's Drift Through Bubble-Era Tokyo

An unfiltered memoir from Japan’s Bubble Era.

This book captures the mid-to-late 1980s, when Japan’s economy was at its peak. Money flowed freely and teaching English promised easy cash.

It is a real-time record of those years — uncertain, reckless, and often morally blurry. There are no tidy lessons and no romantic gloss. Just the minor triumphs and private humiliations of a young man slowly falling apart.
