Japanese underworld boss quits crime to turn Buddhist
Tadamasa Goto will enter priesthood after falling foul of yakuza leaders for allegedly passing information to the FBI.

TOKYO—Japan loves Donald TrumP—so much it wants to hug and kiss him—at least that's the impression you might get from the Japan Supports Donald Trump For World President 2016 Banzai! video that has now been seen over 14 million times on Facebook and 3 million times on YouTube. For the rest of the story, see The Trump Video Going Viral In Japan
One of the first things you'll notice about the Japanese – men AND women – is the apparent lack of awareness regarding issues like gender and racial discrimination, worker exploitation, social injustice and other stuff that have western observers of our culture taking one look and scratching their heads. That stuff about a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly yelling out harassment remarks to a female politician while the Assembly was actually in session? I regret to have to tell you that such incidents are way too familiar to the average Japanese to sink in below sea level. It's only when someone else (i.e., a westerner) is looking at us that we come to our senses and profess to be shocked. Otherwise, well, we're too busy working and being exploited and having our Constitution rewritten to suit the hawkish inclinations of the current Prime Minister. But I digress.
Meet The New Zegen 女衒 (Sex merchants) Same As The Old Zegen
Shohei Sakakura, author of "AKB 48 and the Black Companies (AKB48と日本のブラック企業)" – is one of those rare Japanese with the mindset of a western intellectual. As editor-in-chief of Posse magazine, Sakakura first alerted the public to the presensce and prevalance, of black companies. Until then, most of us thought it was kind of normal in a Japanese way, to put in "service overtime (サービス残業)" hours, meaning we accepted the fact of working in the office until dawn without getting paid it. We also accepted getting laid off without notice, no maternity or paternity leaves, discrimination against women, sexual and moral harassment in the workplace, poor wages and did I mention no overtime pay?
To the Japanese, work proffers its own reward and justification and with news of the unraveling global economy we were grateful to be able to work at all. Of course the majority of the Japanese KNOW exploitation exists, and that this was one of things that was wrong with the country and the rest of the world. This is why we have so many "izakaya (pubs)" around – where else to drown our sorrows but in beer stains?
And now AKB 48, in case you didn't know, is the brain child of Yasushi Akimoto, aka the King Midas of the Japanese entertainment industry. Everything he touches has turned to gold – unfortunately, the gold stays firmly tucked in his pocket without benefitting the girls he ruthlessly expolits. But there it is – the man certainly knows how to make a yen from peddling idoru fantasies to love-starved males with glasses and bad skin.
Who IS Akimoto anyway? Sakakura's book doesn't do much digging about the man – he just assumes that the Japanese know who Akimoto is (we do) and leaves it at that. Suffice to say, Yasushi Akimoto is what 50 years ago many older Japanese would describe as a "Zegen 女衒"or merchant who dealt exclusively in young women. A Zegen was the middleman who bought and sold girls (often with the express consent of the parents) to the sex trade and entertainment industry and too bad for the Japanese that no one bothered to distinguish between the two until the GHQ came along to tell us Nooooo, they were different. (Okay, we got that now.) The GHQ also did much to stomp out the Zegen operating in and around Tokyo but the middlemen simply went on doing what they did, and took on another name: "entertainment producer." From sex shows and strip houses to brothels and the euphemistically called "bars," the Zegen had their fingers in all the right pies (yuck), and kept the best for entertainment industry, which had direct pipeline to the yakuza.
Girls from the country, whose parents couldn't afford to send them to school or arrange good marriages, came to Tokyo in droves and were snapped up by a Zegen producer or another. The lucky ones made it to the TV screen and when that no longer worked, were taken down a few notches to serve as bar hostesses or cabaret dancers, and eventually wound up in a brothel. It was the oldest story in the book, repeated ad nauseum.
Yasushi Akimoto was a Zegen with a vision – having never been popular in high school himself, he recognized the deep sexual frustration and vast need for sexual fantasies festering in the educated and dateless Japanese male. When he came out with "Onyanko Club" in the mid-1980s, people were blinded by the sheer genius of this man. Here he was, peddling quite ordinary high school girls on TV, who all got up on the studio stage to teasingly sing "oh please don't take my school uniform off, no-no-no!" to an audience who could never hear such titillating pleas when they were 18 so was totally stoked to hear it now, from a gaggle of winking girls all beckoning SIMULTANEOUSLY.
Needless to say, the Onyanko went "viral" long before the Internet came along and deep down, we suspected that if Akimoto wasn't around to appease the Otaku populace with these girls and their pleated skirts, the nation's sex crime rate would soar drastically.
Akimoto subsequently married an Onyanko (and he was too smart to pick the prettiest of the lot, but went for a quiet, mediocre type) and settled down in his idol manufacturing kingdom. Then he unleashed AKB 48 to the Japanese public – which basically means 48 Girls in Akihabara. These girls were grass roots level – they had no connections, no prestige, and was willing to work till they dropped. Most telling of all, they were excessively and agressively, ordinary.
In his book Sakakura lays bare disturbing but familiar facts: Akimoto treats the girls like fast food workers – hiring and firing in bulk, with hourly wages to match. The ones in the coveted "center position" are the prettiest, and supposedly the best dancers with the best paychecks but the vast crowd of girls behind the stars — they're mired in obscurity. And once the girls "graduate" (i.e., fired) from the group, they're left with no skills or abilities and their detour into the sex trade is a lot swifter than the days of Onyanko.
Yasushi Akimoto is a Zegen through and through – he's found a way to cash in on the criticisms and problems within the AKB, by having the girls sing songs (written by him of course) about revolution, sacrifice and worker exploitation. For Akimoto, even capitalist irony works in his favor. Karl Marx is puking in his grave.
Sakakura writes that though he's not an AKB fan per se, he does sympathize with the plight of the girls and sees them as a micro reflection of the huge labor problems that continue to erode Japan's supposedly peaceful and egalitarian society. And let's not forget that the PM is a HUGE fan – but then Japan's highest political leader seems to love it when young people are put in situations where they have to fight and bleed and claw their way to survival. To him, "that's the true Japanese spirit." Yeah, right.
*Jake Adelstein contributed to this article. He seriously dislikes Akimoto. Almost as much as he dislikes one former yakuza gang boss, who has a liver he really shouldn't have.]]>
The musical acts range from the soothing alternative rock sounds of Metro Ongen, a four-piece Japanese band, to a skilled drummer from Ghana named Winchester Nii Tete Boye, to even a didgeridoo player from Japan named Smily.
There are also an equal number of impressive visual art performances lined up such as onnacodomo, a collection of three DJs who create spontaneous artwork with computer graphics, mirrors, toys and lights. In addition, Shinpei Kashihara will be doing more traditional live art using the traditional "suiboku-ga" (ink painting) style.
So, if you're on your way home from work, head over to Roppongi and get a seat for some drinks, good times and amazing artists who will be intermingling with the crowd. Here's the description provided by Super Deluxe's website:
This&That Café celebrates its 29th volume by welcoming all "City Shapers"- the new-generation urbanites who are changing Tokyo's creative landscape. Whether it's a drum master hailing from Ghanna or a "suiboku" ink painter from Tokyo, all walks of life and all manner of expressions are welcome. Just be sure to come with an open mind, and be prepared to leave a little bit different than when you arrived.]]>
Masayuki Komatsu, one of the Institute's members and Japan's deputy commissioner to the International Whaling Commission (IWC), published a book back in 2001 explaining why he believes Japan's whaling industry is necessary in our modernizing world. Broadly titled, The Truth Behind the Whaling Dispute, Komatsu makes many claims that Japan needs to curtail certain whale populations to prevent other fish species from going extinct, and that these animals are just "part of the food chain".
Komatsu's basic point is that after a certain amount of years protecting the whales, we reach a point where whales will start competing with human fisheries and make the major human-consumed fish species go extinct—(Editor's note: Like Bluefin Tuna perhaps? Damn those whales. They're ruining our sushi menus).
The only problem with that theory is most whale species don't eat fish targeted by humans. Minke and baleen whales eat krill, while sperm whales mainly eat deep-sea squid that are unreachable and undesired by fishermen.
What I think does ring true in Komatsu's argument is his depiction of anti-whalers as having an unflinching belief that whales should be protected because of how big and majestic they are. Unlike whales, one can travel the countryside to see pigs, cows and chickens packed by the thousands into cramped stockyards, yet there is a much more ubiquitous support for "save the whales" than "save all farm animals". His underlying point is that because we have overprotected some whales since their closest chance of extinction in the 1960s, we as humans need to play the role of god and control the populations of certain whale species that may overtake others. According to Komatsu, it's not as easy as letting nature restore itself:
"Misunderstanding leads the ignorant public to believe that the 'leaving whales alone' doctrine is the correct approach to restore proper balance in the ecosystem," Komatsu says. "It is completely wrong to believe that ocean resources can recover to the virgin status, if left alone."
Komatsu's example of this is antartica's blue whale population, which dropped from 200,000 to 500 whales in the 1960s, and since then has risen back up to 1,200. He says the population has not yet reached its original level is because minke whales have been taking all the krill in the Antarctic for themselves. Like the hundreds of movie-depicted time travelers who have to fix the past to restore the present, Komatsu says we need to "cull a considerable number of minke whales." (Editor's note: H.G. Wells wrote a book about this right?)
"This is a law of nature with which mankind has interfered," Komatsu says. "Since mankind has broken the law and skewed the balance of nature, it is a duty imposed upon us to act responsibly and bring it back to the proper balance."
You need to really be invested in this topic to get a lot out of Komatsu's longwinded, high school-like thesis of a book on why whales need to continue to be hunted. Later sections I haven't discussed include: 1) why whale meat is an important source of protein that we aren't utilizing to the fullest 2) why whale meat is more environmentally friendly than beef, which requires deforestation for farmland. Komatsu claims naïve environmentalists are blind to the possibilities of whale meat:
"Which is better for conservation of nature, expansion of grazing land by deforestation or sustainable utilization of a part of wildlife?" Komatsu says. "It would be a folly to discard utilization of renewable resources just for the sake of appeasing so-called environmentalists whose egotistic assertion have been disseminated through misleading TV commercials."
I suppose we never know at what point in the near future we'll have to stop eating beef to preserve the planet. I heard from one Japanese friend that good whale meat can be quite tasty. Komatsu argues that soon, when humans will be totaling more than 10 billion, it will be hard to keep up beef and chicken farming—since that accelerates global warming by cutting down trees for land. The excrement from farm animals pollute the water and kill off natural water plants and freshwater fish.
"Under these circumstances, can we afford to abandon the idea of utilization of whale resources? The answer is: 'Absolutely not!'"
On the topic of the Japanese using whales as an important source of protein, Komatsu lashes out at the IWC (which he later brands as "Goblins" for shifting the original focus from "stabilizing whale oil prices" to a focus on protecting whales) by saying they totally disrespect the cultural traditions of places in Africa and Asia. He says urban civilians are fooled by environmentalists handing out pamphlets showing gorillas being eaten by essentially countering with thought 'well, what if they're not eating an unreasonable amount of gorillas!' In his actual words:
"The arrogance of their assertion, 'stop eating wild animals' totally disregards the social structure of the people surviving on the meat of hunted animals."
Komatsu might be right in thinking environmentalists are pushing us towards adopting developed countries' more boring diets, food being one of the things that helps tie Japan to third world countries that offer similarly diverse foods. You can be sure in the 1960s there weren't as many crustless, paper-white bread sandwiches at konbinis as there are nowadays, leading Komatsu to this fear of Japan being stripped of its whaling cuisine (despite the fact not many Japanese eat whale anymore. (Editor's note: The Japanese government has over two tons of frozen whale-meat, much of it from 'research' whaling that it's saving for some unspecified emergency. Whaling may not sustainable without Japanese government subsidies which begs the question—should taxpayer money be used to sustain it and do most of the Japanese people want public funds used for that purpose). As an American, I can definitely agree the internet has led to a stigma that certain foods such as Natto have been framed too negatively, and in Komatsu's eyes I suppose whales are no different.
"No one has a right to criticize the food culture of other people. When we Japanese eat our food such as NATTO (fermented soy beans), ANKO (sweetened black beans) and SASHIMI (fresh slices of raw fish), we accept that some people may think that such food is weird (it is theit business to think so), but we would be angry if they forced us to stop eating it."
Movies such as The Cove are able to post generally agreed 'disturbing' pictures of whales (and dolphins) being sliced apart, but Komatsu raises the question of "Why is it more disturbing than pig and cow slaughter houses?"
As my friend and Johns Hopkins Asian Studies Professor Yulia Frumer points out, Japan relies very heavily on foreign exports and likely harbors ill feelings for having to listen to the U.S. for what foods it can and cannot receive. I admit that Komatsu gives dozens of faulty numbers in his writing about whales, (he actually hindered his argument in "The History and Science of Whales" by mistakenly saying the estimated number of sperm whales was 200,000 when it was actually 2 million,) but I think it's important we consider how some of Japan's older generations feel belittled by the U.S. and Australian whaling/fishing commissions that wants to tell them what they're allowed to catch.
"Analysis of their argument leads us to believe that they are viewing the rights of the non- human creatures as equal to the rights of men. Here, I think it is worthwhile to ponder upon what truly should be the protection of animals."
Komatsu manages to make some logical arguments but there is a twisted logic to it and in the end, whaling in Japan is not necessarily something that the majority of the population wants and the industry is unsustainable.
So why does it keep getting funded? That's a subject worthy of a book in itself.

Action Targets Yakuza's Global Criminal Operations
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) today designated Tadamasa Goto, an individual associated with the Japanese Yakuza criminal network, pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13581, which targets significant transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) and their supporters. Today's action is part of the Treasury Department's ongoing efforts to protect the U.S. financial system from the malign influence of TCOs and to expose persons who are supporting them or acting on their behalf.
"Tadamasa Goto possesses deep ties to the Yakuza and has been instrumental to its criminal operations around the world," said OFAC Acting Director John E. Smith. "Today's action denies Goto access to the U.S. financial system and demonstrates our resolve to aggressively combat transnational criminal organizations and their supporters."
Tadamasa Goto began working in the Yakuza as a member of the Inagawa-kai. The Inagawa-kai is the third largest Yakuza group and was designated by OFAC pursuant to E.O. 13581 on January 23, 2013. Goto subsequently joined the Yamaguchi-gumi, the largest and most prominent Yakuza group, which OFAC designated pursuant to E.O. 13581 on February 23, 2012. Goto served in several senior leadership positions within the Yamaguchi-gumi before becoming the head of the Goto-gumi, which was a powerful Yamaguchi-gumi faction. The Goto-gumi was responsible for setting up a network of front companies on behalf of the Yamaguchi-gumi.
Goto headed the Goto-gumi until October 2008, when he was expelled and forced into retirement from the Yamaguchi-gumi and relocated to Cambodia. Despite his retirement from mob life, Yakuza figure Tadamasa Goto reportedly still associates with numerous gang-tainted companies that he utilizes to facilitate his legitimate and illicit business activities. He continues to support the Yamaguchi-gumi and remnants of his semi-defunct Goto-gumi by laundering their funds between Japan and Cambodia. Additionally, Goto has reportedly established links with the notoriously violent Namikawa Mutsumi-kai group, formerly known as the Kyushu Seido-kai, which is recognized by Japan as a Yakuza group.
The original post from April 7th 2009 is below.
Tadamasa Goto will enter priesthood after falling foul of yakuza leaders for allegedly passing information to the FBI.
Tadamasa Goto, one of Japan's most notorious underworld bosses, is to enter the Buddhist priesthood less than a year after his volatile behaviour caused a rift in the country's biggest crime syndicate.
As leader of a yakuza – or Japanese mafia – gang, Goto amassed a fortune from prostitution, protection rackets and white-collar crime, while cultivating a reputation for extreme violence.
Tomorrow, his life will take a decidedly austere turn when he begins training at a temple in Kanagawa prefecture south of Tokyo, the Sankei Shimbun newspaper said today, citing police sources.
The 66-year-old, whose eponymous gang belonged to the powerful Yamaguchi-gumi crime syndicate, was expelled from the yakuza fraternity last October after a furious row with his bosses over his conduct.
Known as Japan's answer to John Gotti, the infamous mafia don, Goto reportedly upset his seniors amid media reports that he had invited several celebrities to join his lavish birthday celebrations last September.
Several months earlier he had attracted more unwanted publicity following revelations that he had offered information to the FBI in return for permission to enter the US for a life-saving liver transplant in 2001.
At an emergency meeting last October the Yamaguchi-gumi's bosses – minus their leader, Shinobu Tsukasa, who is serving a six-year prison term for illegal arms possession – expelled Goto, splitting his gang into rival factions.
According to the Sankei, Goto will formally join the priesthood on 8 April – considered to be Buddha's birthday in Japan – in a private ceremony.
The former gangster was quoted as describing the occasion as "solemn and meaningful, in which Buddha will make me his disciple and enable me to start a new life".
In his deal with the FBI, Goto reportedly gave up vital information about yakuza front companies, as well as the names of senior crime figures and the mob's links to North Korea.
Underworld experts have pointed out, however, that the bureau could have gleaned the same information from yakuza fanzines.
Goto's transplant was performed at UCLA medical centre in Los Angeles In the spring of 2001 by the respected surgeon Dr Ronald W Busuttil, using the liver of a 16-year-old boy who had died in a traffic accident.
The grateful don, who was suffering from liver disease, later donated $100,000 (£68,000) to the hospital, his generosity commemorated in a plaque that reads: "In grateful recognition of the Goto Research Fund established through the generosity of Mr Tadamasa Goto."
Jake Adelstein, a former crime reporter for the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper, received death threats before he went public with the transplant story last spring, and has been living under police protection ever since.
When it was assigned to cultivate the Tokyo area in the late 1980s, the Goto-gumi stuck to what it knew best: drugs, human trafficking and extortion, before new anti-gang laws forced it to move in to more lucrative areas such as real estate and the stockmarket.
At the height of their powers, Goto's henchmen were capable of unspeakable acts of violence, including bulldozing businesses that refused to pay protection money and administering beatings to victims in front of their families, reports said.
A 1999 leaked police file noted that "in order to achieve his goals, [Goto] uses any and all means necessary or possible. He also uses a carrot-and-stick approach to keep his soldiers in line. His group is capable of extremely violent and aggressive acts".
Japan's pornography industry has come under greater scrutiny after Tokyo Metro Police arrested executives of a well-known talent agency for allegedly coercing an actress to engage in sex on camera. Human rights groups had been calling for action for months.
Police announced Monday that they had arrested the president of Marks Japan Group and two others on suspicion that they forced a woman into appearing in adult films by threatening to punish her financially. They also threatened to force her parents to pay for "contract violations" if necessary, police said…..For the full article, please see this article written by Jake Adelstein, Mari Yamamoto, and Louis Krauss for the Los Angeles Times.
JSRC is pleased to publish the full commentary from Shihoko Fujiwara, founder of Japan's Lighthouse: Center for Human Trafficking Victims, in regards to the darker side of Japan's multibillion dollar pornography industry.
Shihoko Fujiwara, Founder of Lighthouse-
Lighthouse: Center for Human Trafficking Victims have received over 100 complaints regarding forced participation in porn. 10% of these complaints are from young men around 20 years old, (some coerced into gay porn as well).
In the porn industry, the production side holds all power while the agencies and scouts who cater to them by supplying the talent often deceive the so-called talents into doing the shoots. The producers cannot get away with claiming that they did not know. It is possible that the entire industry play a part in creating a system of forcing people into porn acting in a similar manner as human trafficking.
The reality is that there are too many young men and women who are forced into porn, for the industry to dismiss it as something they were unaware of.
Victims are talked into signing a fashion modeling contract, however when they turn up on set they are given a porn script and informed that it is a porn shoot. They beg to quit or go to home but are threatened to be charged millions of yen for penalties and often end up giving in. They are used and disposed with long lasting consequences on their schooling, careers and marriages.
The time has come for the government and the society to face the issue head on. There are currently no laws or ministries who oversee the porn industry but there is a dire need for such authorities to take control of the situation.
This is Lighthouse's statement in Japanese.
人身取引被害者サポートセンターライトハウス(Lighthouse: Center for Human Trafficking Victims) には、この18ヶ月の間にも100件以上のポルノ強要相談が来ています。1割弱と少ないが20歳前後の男性からの相談もあります。
• これを見逃していた国や社会全体が問題を直視する時期に来ています。現在ポルノ産業を管理所轄する法律も官庁もないが、早急に整備が必要だと考えています。
By all means, do go and tell your side of the story to them, motherfucker.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I heard that your daughter gives really good head… and so does your son.
Hey, I wanted to hear if your children are getting a good sleep because… when you get fired, and I get fired, you're going to have to put your kids out of international school and into Japanese school and I'll be teaching there.

Where I come from, you don't mess with a man's car, a man's woman, a man's dog, or a man's job. You go behind someone's back, and they come knockin on your front, with a shotgun. And I suppose you'll send this to your mommy to defend you, right? (2011)
Christopher Johnson
I have a talent for pissing people off. I'm sure it comes from a personality defect, of which I have many, and I will strive to work on improving my generally surly nature.
However, while I'm surly I don't delight in the suffering of other people. Unfortunately, I have a cyberstalker who does. And when he can't get to me, he attacks my friends. Or uses his virtual sock-puppets (Chris Beck, Kita (I don't have the balls to use my real name) Yaesu to do it.
The worst troll in the world is one that claims to be a journalist—they abuse our profession by writing with malice, distorting the truth and mixing it with enough lies to make it seem plausible, and claim to be "reporting" to do it. I call them "trollnalists".
There is a certain disgruntled self-professed journalist Christopher Johnson aka The Troll who has a personal vendetta against me and anyone who is my friend or employer. The reasons are very simple: I made the mistake of asking about his visa status when he was denied entry into Japan and/or deported in 2011. I then refused to write an article on his behalf in 2012. He took it very personally.
He's accused me of 1) being addicted to meth-amphetamines 2) not having been a police reporter, which is probably because he can't read enough Japanese to figure out what 警視庁記者クラブ means 3) being a womanizing asshole 4) plagiarism 5) being completely wrong about yakuza involvement in the nuclear industry 6) being mentally ill. It goes on and on.
He'll probably alter his crazy blog posts soon to eliminate claim #5. He's devoted 40 sprawling pages to my life which he continually rewrites when glaring errors are found. No one is sure what he does to support himself these days but perhaps his famous brother, Gordy Johnson aka Grady Johnson is supporting him. Who knows?
He is right about number 3. Gotta work on that. I can be an asshole and a womanizer. Guilty.
I didn't mind so much his man-crush and attacks on me, but now he continues to harass other journalists I know, accusing them of plagiarism. He accuses them of taking money from corporations to slant their coverage, etc. He writes their editors, calls their offices, tweets at them endlessly. It's hard to really explain how venal this individual is so I'll let him speak for himself.
This is the kind of guy I'm dealing with. The kind of guy who left messages like this for his co-worker at NHK in 2007.
I will have to tell you that Tanaka-san and Iida-san are now well aware of your fucking bullshit. By all means, do go and tell your side of the story to them, motherfucker.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I heard that your daughter gives really good head… and so does your son.
Hey, I wanted to hear if your children are getting a good sleep because… when you get fired, and I get fired, you're going to have to put your kids out of international school and into Japanese school and I'll be teaching there.
It is a revolting thing to do, for which CJ has never apologized. It makes him sound like a pedophile–and although he spent many years in Thailand, there is no evidence that he is one. But it's still a fucking awful thing to say. An apology would be nice.
Dave Schaufele, the NHK co-worker, sent JSRC a note on the incident:
"It's time to stand up to this bully. I would have no hesitation beating the living crap out of this sicko after his comments about my children, as would any father in a similar position I suspect. So if he ever sees me again he better turn the other way and run.
Friends at NHK who know CJ recommended that I just ignore him because he's mentally unstable. But if his slanderous meltdown rant is starting to spread I guess I need to reply and set the record straight.
I must admit I'm so short of time between work and family that I haven't even started a Facebook page, let alone made 14,000 blog posts as "Greji" whose slang and poor spelling might indicate that English is not his first language. CJis simply delusional.
I suspect he knows I'm not Greji but was simply looking for a way to use NHK's name in the headline and fabricate a high profile story that would make him seem like a victim instead of a predator. CJ knows that his own actions resulted in his loss of work but his alter ego is trying to find someone else to take responsibility.
CJ pulled all the hateful slander completely out of his ass. I have many Jewish friends and have never made any anti-Semitic remarks nor written anything about Johnson's girlfriend or family and therefore he can provide no examples at all in his rant.
I made no phone calls to him period; another fabrication to try and justify his pedophile phone messages left on my keitai answering system. Playback is continuous once activated and no alterations were made whatsoever.
I do sometimes get a sunburned neck when working outdoors but have no neo-nazi contacts or own any guns. I guess those were the most hurtful fabrications Johnson could come up with in his appeal for sexual-predator sainthood.
He's a mental case whose 2 sexual harassment complaints on file at NHK got him fired in 1995 but he managed to sneak back in years later. I was unaware of his past and when he first started work I actually tried to help the guy out as a fellow Canadian by giving him over $1,000 in extra work, which he thanked me for by inviting me over to his XXXs place for a beer. Seems like he's been freeloading off her for years. But as the old saying goes – no good deed goes unpunished. CJ left town on short notice and our NHK boss asked me to cover a couple of his shifts. When he returned he went psycho and tried to get me fired, which backfired because the bosses remembered that he was the pervert they got rid of in '95. When he made disgusting sexual comments about my young children I played his phone messages for my boss and it was 3 strikes you're out – again – for that sicko.
I guess CJ figured that if I hadn't posted his phone messages in 5 years I have probably lost or erased the file so it's safe to slander me and headline NHK's name to regain his Economist notoriety. I did erase the file because I didn't want to hear his voice again. For the record I haven't spent a minute thinking about the asshole during the past five years and this is my first and only blog post related to him in all that time.
Now you know – the rest of the story."
He does what trolls do. He writes my employers, he makes threatening calls to the FCCJ. He has a penchant for harassing my female friends especially. Maybe in his mind they are the weaker sex. I gather he's a misanthrope and a misogynist. I wish he would just attack me. It's such a dishonorable thing to do to attack the friends of the person you hate. Even the worst yakuza aren't usually that low.
He is angry that I would not take up his cause or defend him. I don't know him well and I didn't think he had a position that I could defend and I politely declined to offer my support. By asking one pointed question, about his visa status, he perhaps feels that I sprung a hole in his credibility dyke, which caused him a flood of attack and ridicule.
I don't know; I'm not a mind reader.
Recently his threats have escalated. He is very fond of threatening to sue people for slander. He also poses threats to them as questions under the guise of being a journalist. He makes sexual slurs about female reporters. He has spent an inordinate amount of time trying to make me angry and scare individuals working with me. For many months, I ignored him. He went away. I ignored him again. But he came back and started harassing anyone he can identify as my friend or employer.
I realized that stepping back was the wrong approach. It was a cowardly act to do nothing. This man under the guise of "journalism" has terrorized individual after individual because everyone hopes that he will grow bored and find a new person to attack and stalk–and thus they do nothing. This is understandable. But because no one stands up to this bully, the number of those who have suffered because of him keep growing.
Albert Einstein once said, "The world is a dangerous place. Not because of the people who are evil; but because of the people who don't do anything about it." Einstein was right. I'm doing something about.
The more I know about the individual and his past, the more I began to feel increasingly uneasy. He has a history of making insidious threats. On October 16th, 2007, he left disgusting messages on the answering machine of an NHK colleague that implied he would sexually molest the individual's children. The tape contains what seems to be the sounds of said journalist masturbating over the phone.
Allegedly, the dispute The Troll had with a co-worker ended in him making several obscene calls to the man's home phone which resulted in his firing from NHK. NHK has not confirmed this although others who were working at NHK have and so has The Troll in his own blog.

I will have to tell you that Tanaka-san and Iida-san are now well aware of your fucking bullshit. By all

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I heard that your daughter gives really good head… and so does your son.
Sounds of what may be masturbation
Hey, I wanted to hear if your children are getting a good sleep because… when you get fired, and I get
fired, you're going to have to put your kids out of international school and into Japanese school….
For the record, this is his explanation:
"The letter enraged ●●●。 His new round of phone calls and letters now insulted ●●● and my family,
including my brother, leader of one of Canada's most popular bands at that time. I couldn't take it anymore.
Regrettably, I lost my temper. During a heated exchange of insults by email and phone, I left a nasty message
on his phone. I responded to his insult that, "I hear there's a job opening for a teacher who likes children, right
up your alley". In effect, I said to him: "if you get me fired from NHK, I will have to get a job teaching
English again, and I might end teaching your children." ●● claims he recorded it. He probably took the
comments out of context, and possibly tampered with them, given his skills at voice acting and doctoring
evidence and twisting facts…"
I won't post the tape here. You can listen for yourself.
In addition, in May of 2011 he also made several threats to the journalist who replaced him at France 24.
Although I received the journalist's permission to post this and verified it with three sources, I have deleted the name of the journalist threatened and changed the name of the one making the threats. Why? Because it's customary practice in Japan to not publicize the names of people who are possibly mentally ill and may be under investigation for criminal offenses.
Other than blocking out some names, to protect the individuals from the loathsome attacks and smears of the troll, I have altered not a word, but put some sections in bold that are particularly disturbing. I'm reasonably sure the Troll aka Hostile Journalist will coming looking for me since by opposing him, I'm obviously a mofo.
We shall see.
PS. To Hostile Journalist: Do not even think about threatening (脅迫罪) anyone who cooperated with this article other than myself. Have some decency.
The story of the Troll threatening the journalist aka "The Mofo" that "stole" his job
Troll's Letters To His Replacement at France 24 May-June 2011
The Troll, quoted here as "Hostile Journalist" sent a series of hostile emails after being fired by France 24. The reasons he was fired or let go may or may not have to do with the emails he sent. The emails were provided by a past victims of the Troll and on my own initiative I have kept his name non-public for fear that The Troll will retaliate against him as well.Hopefully, he is intelligent enough to realize that the emails he has sent constitute a threat. If he has a problem with this posting, I hope he will be a man and come after me and not the journalist who was kind enough to give me the materials. The letters began with an unsolicited posting from Troll.
The Troll Writing To France 24 Journalist Who Replaced Him
20 May 2011
Dear Journalist
I'm Troll, a veteran Tokyo-based journalist who has covered almost every major story in Asia and around the world since 1987, including the wars in Yugoslavia, East Timor, Afghanistan and Iraq, for major media worldwide.
I'm going to cut straight to the point about this. I do not allow people to take freelance strings that I have cultivated over the years. For your information, Loick Berrou hired me in July 2007 as the France 24 Anglo reporter in Tokyo, and since that time I have done hundreds of live phoners and on-camera
reports from Tokyo (often using the satellite feedpoints at Reuters and NHK), Tibet, China, Burma and Thailand (using feedpoints at Asiaworks).
I have taken great risks to build up the network. I was the only foreign journalist in Lhasa the week of the riots in March 2008, and I broke the story worldwide on France 24, beating BBC, CNN and everybody else. I also snuck inside Burma and reported on the crackdown on protesters, and Cyclone
Nargis, for the network. Last year, I did a flurry of reports amid gunfire and explosions during the battle of Bangkok (working in the same battle-zone where France 24 cameraman Nelson Rand was shot several times.)
Immediately after the March 11 quake, I spent a great deal of time and effort trying to arrange logistics for●●●, one of the network's top Francophone correspondents (you can see the work we did together on the documentary The Battle of Bangkok). I also did 60 live reports for France 24 the first four weeks
after the quake, while you were working for somebody else, apparently.
I do not know what university training or professional qualifications you have in journalism, and I'm not familiar with the impact of your work. I've worked around most of the top journalists in Asia, and I don't recall meeting you.
As for me, I have been through a weeding out process, of four years at Canada's top journalism school at Carleton University in Ottawa, and then some of the leading networks and newspapers in Canada, before coming to work as a professional journalist in Asia. I learned to speak and read Japanese beginning in 1989, and covered the Kobe earthquake and sarin gas attack for CBC TV in Canada and others in 1995.
Like many other pros, I naturally have issues with amateurs who come to Japan, declare themselves journalists, hang around the FCCJ to pick up work, and then consider themselves experts in our field. Doctors and lawyers would not tolerate this in their fields either, and I think I have every right to call someone's bluff on this.
While I was covering the TEPCO presser today, I found out from●●, ●●● and a senior person in Paris that you, somehow, have become the France 24 correspondent in Tokyo. I do not accept this, for any reason, and I will do whatever is necessary to protect a position that I have earned with the network, at great personal risk and sacrifice.
It's not personal, it's professional, and I can assure you that I will stake my 25-year career on this. If I tried to steal someone's string, which has earned them thousands of dollars over the years, I would expect them to fight me for it.
I will tell you very frankly that I am a 6-foot, 200-pound guy from a rough part of the Detroit area, and I've been through too much – 9 wars, where I lost 7 friends – to let anyone disrespect me.
The Troll later discovered his email was forwarded to France 24 prompting another email.
21 May
That is very sleazy to send a letter, which I sent to you and you alone, to my employers at France 24. If you have any manhood, you will meet me in person to settle this. And you can bring your pals XXX and the other jerks who diss me on Facebook and at the FCCJ as well
The Journalist Responds To Troll's Implied Threats
21 May
Troll-guy ,your unsolicited message appears to be a clear threat of violence towards me. Please clarify if I'm mistaken in this.
For the record: I was approached in Feb to work with F24 and have done a few bits of work with them since. I have no interest in who has worked with them in the past, continues to work with them now, or will work with them in the future.
I have no idea what issues you have with F24, but please take them up with the organization.
Equally, I have no idea what issues you have with 'jerks' on FB or the FCCJ, but please take them up with the people involved.
The Troll Responds To The Journalist
Who the hell are you talkin to me like this? You think your ass is powerful? You are a 5-foot 6, 150 lb dweek in shorts and sunglasses looking over your shoulder in a crowd. And I suppose you'llsend this to your mommy to protect you, right?
You aren't the asshole ●● who smashed my brother's head against the grocery store wall, and beat up my father in front of my mother and sister across the street from our house, and then laughed at my little brother in the court house. aYou aren't the crackhead who shot my uncle ●● in the head in Detroit. You aren't the home invader who murdered my brother's drummer in his house in ●● this Christmas. You aren't the gang that strangled me and beat me unconscious and broke my nose and ribs and left me naked in a park to die in Nairobi, or the jerks who mugged me at knifepoint in Rio de Janeiro. Youaren't the Chetniks who severed the head of my roommate ●●●in Vukovar. You aren't Khaled Sheikh Mohammed who cut up Daniel Pearl like a goat a few weeks after we had Thanksgiving dinner in Islamabad. You aren't the Taliban motherfuckers who murdered●● and raped and killed the women in the van in Afghanistan. And you aren't the gunmen who shot ●●●●● three times last year when we were working for France 24 in Bangkok. You are a spineless sewer rat who sends a private confidential letter to my boss to shaft me out of a job worth perhaps 10,000 year or more, a job I earned while you were a driver with another network and writing an FCCJ article slagging off serious pro journalists who hired you. Where I come from, you don't mess with a man's car, a man's woman, a man's dog, or a man's job. You go behind someone's back, and they come knockin on your front, with a shotgun. And I suppose you'll send this to your mommy to defend you, right?

The Journalist Responds To The Troll
Mr. Troll,
It seems you got a rough deal off F24, which is a shame, but I really think your anger is directed in the wrong direction. To state the obvious, I don't make the hiring decisions. I was asked to work with them in Feb and was surprised not to hear from them during the post-quake period. It seems they used someone else – that would be you. Now they've asked me to do the odd phoner.
I don't know why they they've made that decision- it's between you and them.
I was more than a little surprised to come in on Friday night to a long abusive threatening email from someone I've never met. I forwarded it to the people at F24 – ●● saying I had no idea what your history with them is and the situation needed clarifying .If you wanted a respectful response, you should have a sent a respectful email. This will be my last response to any insulting/ threatening mails.
"If you wanted a respectful response, you should have a sent a respectful email. This will be my last response to any insulting/ threatening mails.
That seems to be the best approach to dealing with this fellow. He does make a lot of threats. He, or his proxy, even threatened the editors at Wikipedia, when they refused to post an entry for him. He accused an employee of Google Japan of deliberately altering search results to make him look bad. He does manage to get under my skin. However, I'm certainly not the only one.
If you'd like to know more, please check out Japan Probe which has article after article about his not so amusing attacking on others journalists, his implied threats, his rantings, and his career history as a malcontent and troublemaker in Japan.
I took this post down once. I'm reposting it so that everyone knows that this is a man that threatens to molest children and viciously attacks other members of the journalism community. He may be a journalist; he is also very close to being a cyber stalker. I won't write his name because he thrives on attention. I tweeted a parody of his blog today that has his actual name on it. I should have read it closer. I was taught that the mentally unstable should have their names undisclosed because they aren't entirely responsible for their acts. I don't know if that is the case with this individual but I suspect as much. Possibly a sociopath with delusional disorder. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
I won't engage with this individual in any way. Because there's a difference between him and me. I give a damn about my sources and my friends. I'd rather people think I'm a jerk than violate the three things I believe in: protect your sources, write the truth, and if you can't do both, then don't write the story. Some people may not agree with that philosophy. It's what I believe in. I don't have a perfect score on protecting my sources. I get to live with that for the rest of my life. I atone and I carry on.
Because where I come from, when you attack a man's friends and defame them, stalk women, and threaten to harm children–you're someone who needs to go to jail until you learn to behave like a human being, not a troll. Or am I simply too old-fashioned?
I recognize that people have a right to start their lives over–that they deserve a second chance. And I'd be willing to give this man a second chance, if he showed any remorse, if he apologized to all those he's wronged. He won't do that. He won't even answer three simple questions 1) Did you threaten to molest a man's children when you were working at NHK? 2) Did you threaten another reporter in 2011? 3) Have you misused the position of being a journalist to harass women that reject you and people who disagree with you?
There is no solution to dealing with a man like this. As long as he has access to the internet, he will continue to try and destroy those whom he perceives as his enemies—and there a lot of them. He's bordering on criminal behavior and when he finally crosses the line, I hope to see that at last he gets the attention he deserves. Because where I come from, when you attack a man's friends and defame them, stalk women, and threaten to harm children–you're someone who needs to go to jail until you learn to behave like a human being, not a troll. Or am I simply too old-fashioned?
At the very least, if he was a man and not a troll, he'd stop attacking my friends and young reporters-–and do some actual journalism.
"It seems like it's all about getting the scoop in mainstream Japan media," Fackler said. "It's not just the atmosphere, it's how people's' careers are made, by getting the scoop to the officials' breaking access news."
While also praising Abe's cabinet for their savvy when it comes to promptly addressing the media, he points out that the desire for a scoop has made newspapers such as Asahi and Mainichi regress into a routine of rarely questioning or opposing officials in their writing, since doing so would cost them their special access rights.
"Abe gives out a lot of scoops and one-on-one interviews with cooperative media members, and even has dinner with them," Fackler said. "So if you play ball, you get a lot of access. That's why there are a lot of 'scoops' in the yomiurii shimbun, sankei shimbun."
Nowadays in Japan's newsrooms, getting 'scoops' is overvalued in place of more quality journalism, i.e. going out into the field and reaching out to the officials individually in order to not get a pre-canned speech that everyone accepts as true.
Fackler also pointed to press clubs as a culprit for dumbing down Japanese reporting, something that rang true with me. When I started reporting for JSRC in Summer 2015, I noticed that a lot of the foreigners in the FCCJ rarely left the workroom to write their stories. For me, this was radically different than experiences in my hometown Baltimore, where a protest by locals in the rough parts of town was often a bigger story than the original government plan they were protesting.
"All the reporters sit there and wait for the officials to bring them news," Fackler said. "These clubs were originally intended as a way to keep a close eye on the government, but now what they've become is a machine to create a very passive type of journalism. It's not just the facts that the officials parlay, it's also the stories, narratives and how to understand it all."
Fackler's opening story and example of this new "passive journalism," was his experience initially reporting on the Fukushima disaster in March 2011. Minamisoma City Mayor Katsunobu Sakurai sent out an S.O.S. for help and almost no local reporters came in person to talk to him, Fackler being one of the few who didn't opt to run for the hills on March 13th, one day after the disaster.
"I'll never forget the reaction, because everyone at the front desk excitedly murmured: 'kisha ga kimashita!' (a reporter came!). Sakurai said the reason there was so much commotion was that all the Japanese reporters had left. So while all the mainstream papers were saying 'The government has everything under control, don't exaggerate the risks, etc.', those reporters were themselves running for the hills," Fackler said. "It became a lesson to me of how the media here has a tendency to repeat the official mindset, even if they believe differently, and that there's a pressure to not deviate from the official narrative."
In my opinion, much of what the former correspondent listed as the deep issues with Japan's newspapers are easily fixable, it just takes some sacrifices with losing favor in the government's circle of media it likes. I appreciated how Mr. Fackler took notice of NHK broadcasts constantly being focused around an official or prosecutor's good work, never a simple salaryman or artist. Newspapers are just as much to blame for Japan's fall in press freedom as Abe and his regime, if not more because of the power I believe news articles can have in rallying people to pressure the government into doing what's best. Instead, we see newspaper writers falling into line like they are simply mere kohai (second rank) to the government that tells them what's important.
"I think the Abe govt. has raised the bar with dealing with press, but the problem is the big media haven't followed. They're still in this post-war heiwagyou case thing, where they're so used to having stories fed to them, that when the government roughs them up a bit, they're like dogs and roll over on their backs. I don't think they know or have had a good fight with the government in a really long time."]]>
In April of 2013, I visited Osaka castle wanting to see some sakura but sadly the storm had blown all the blossoms away. However, I did found this one tree of Yae-Zakura that was still full of blossoms. This type of sakura is just truly beautiful! Definitely worthwhile to see.
I have read somewhere before that it used to be found only in Nara prefecture and mostly up on Yoshino (吉野) mountain where you can go up by rope way to view the whole mountain full of beautiful cherry blossoms. But these days, it seems to be found everywhere. Yae-zakura blooms a bit later than the normal sakura. The hanami may have been over but Yae-zakura is still here!
Where to see:
Gotokuji-Tokyo. This temple located near Gotokuji station has a few trees that are just starting to bloom. Enjoy the legendary luck-bringing cat statues as well as the yaezakura.
Japan Mint – Osaka Head Office. This organization is an Incorporated Administrative Agency where coins, medals, metallic art objects and others are produced. You can visit the factory and see the facilities and how the objects are produced. This sounds a bit strange as a place to display Yae-zakura but the special thing about this place is not the metallic objects they produce but the fact that it has so many Yae-Zakura trees inside the place.
Every night, the lanterns are also turned on so you can enjoy beautiful night views of sakura. Hopefully, I'll get to visit again when the event starts! In Hiroshima Prefecture, you can see Yaezakura from the 13th to the 19th, also at the Hiroshima Minting facilities. What is the hidden link between minting coins and yaezakura?
Maybe the idea is simply that beauty is priceless?

It sounds new-agey and positive but a little dose of that now and then can't hurt–and it might even help. Speakers include well-known Yogini, Mae Yoshikawa, who began her practice of Ashtanga Yoga in 2001. In 2006, she became the first Japanese woman to be Authorized by KPJAYI, the founding school of Ashtanga Yoga in India. Check the schedule and check it out. 心を癒やしましょう。
The workshops were created by Aya McCrindle, born and raised in Japan, Aya has a Master's Degree in Education from Temple University, and a BA in Literature from Sophia University.
She is a classmate of Jake Adelstein, the acting editor in chief of the this blog. (Editor's note: It's true—so I'm biased towards liking this whole program. She's a pal.) She has been running a model agency in Tokyo for nearly two decades; under her stewardship the number of models jumped from 4 to 50, and the client list increased from 50 to over 5,000.
Slightly disillusioned with the surface values of the modeling business, she recently discovered that her element is as a Connector: bringing together the many inspiring and committed individuals she has been blessed to meet, whether through international schools, the fashion industry, TEDx, FEW, Room to Read, Make a Wish, or through her myriad other networks.
Aya has organized the "Find Your Element Workshop" (on twitter @FYEworkshop) and "Enhance Your Element through Meditation" to help people find a purpose in their life. Her wish is that one extra person will feel a sense of passion, motivation, comfort and/or wisdom she has experienced through these inspirational leaders.

Nissan switches on 4.75 MW solar farm to power electric vehicle production plant
Nissan's largest EU factory is now powered by 4.75 MW of solar PV, edging it closer towards a virtuous circle of clean energy production and electric vehicle output.
Nissan's largest EU factory is now powered by 4.75 MW of solar PV, edging it closer towards a virtuous circle of clean energy production and electric vehicle output.
Clean Energy Regulator says half of the 6000MW needed to meet Australia's 2020 Renewable Energy Target must be committed this year – that's 30 more Clare Solar Farms.
Genex Power signs network agreement with Ergon Energy for first stage of solar-hydro hybrid plant. Now all it needs is finance.
Origin Energy has awarded a design and engineering contract for a 200MW solar farm in Queensland, which would be Australia's largest.

After a nearly two-year and 60+km journey, the 11.8MW OneSun Capital solar farm has been approved for Williamsdale, near the NSW border.
Ergon has shortlisted 7 projects for its 150MW tender, including four solar farms, two wind farms, and a biomass project.
Sunshine Coast Council says ARENA decision not to back its 15MW solar farm 'beyond belief', in light of its support of the nearby Barcaldine solar farm.
25MW Barcaldine solar farm, which will provide about 10% of Australia's large-scale solar electricity, has received $22m from ARENA.

Seriously this is the top shop to swing into. Chris (the manager) is full of knowledge on anything and everything. He has a special talent for militaria and old WWI and WWII collectibles. It is uncanny! Every time I go in there are happy faces, and friendly folks shopping there. I went in for some ammo and targets and ended up staying for a good 30-45 minutes just meeting new people and getting an education on an AK I was looking at and a few different handguns. I ended up returning a couple days later and purchasing more stuff. Now I make sure to drop in any time I pass through Plaistow. Customer service is absolutely unbeatable compared to any other shop I have been to - even KTP or Cabelas. They actually care about their customers unlike some places. Anything that isn't there gets there really quick. Very good pricing on everything in the shop. Make a trip and you'll not regret it.

Oxford United women's midfielder Kayleigh Hines wants to claim bragging rights as the U's host Reading at Northcourt Road in the FA Women's Super League 2 tomorrow (2pm).
Hines, who was at Reading before joining United in January, has started every game for Oxford and feels a derby win would kick-start her new side's faltering league campaign.
She said: "If we can get those points on the board and do it in such a local derby it's going to do us the world of good.
"I don't think anyone's lacked motivation to play this season, but it's always good when it's a local derby and such a competitive fixture.
"I don't think Oxford have had the chance to play Reading competitively at this level before, so it's a big one."
The U's, who are yet to win this season, face a month-long lay-off after this weekend due to international fixtures and defender Rosie Lane said that they were determined not to go into the break pointless.
"Obviously we've got to be up for it because we want to get points on the board to take into the break," she said.
"It's good for us obviously because we're at home and we've dominated three of our four league games, so we've just got to take that into the game."
Winger Katie Stanley came through a full 90 minutes on Wednesday unscathed as United's development squad beat Reading 1-0, but Oxford will still be without the injured duo of Louise Fellows and Ella Franklin-Fraiture.
Oxford Utd: from Cox, Mobbs, Hines, Osborne-Ricketts, Chivers, Allison, Pickett, Pinker, Low, King, Nutman, Connor-Iommi, Lane, Lambourne, Lowder, Nichol, Stanley.

Michael Bolton always knew he would write a book about his life, he just wasn't sure if anyone would care.
But after a little SNL clip of Bolton dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow went viral, it seemed everyone was interested in getting to know the singer a little better.
Luckily, as Bolton told Radio.com, he's had a successful career that has lent itself to many stories.
"It's been a long climb up a mountain or a long walk out into the desert, whatever you like," he joked.
Ever since Bolton started traveling with his computer, he's been sure to jot down everything from lyric notes to interesting observations, but admits writing some of the more personal passages from his new memoir, The Soul Of It All, like his parent's divorce and his breakup with longtime love Nicollette Sheridan, was difficult. But as Bolton notes that the book's title leads a reader to believe his life was not all fun and games.
"The title is not The Fun Of It All," Bolton joked. "So I realized while working at [the book] the first month or so, that the only way to speak was from the place of my original experience and what it was really like to go there."
Though Bolton poked fun at those who claim writing a memoir can be cathartic (using a snooty accent, of course), he says he actually did find it to be a rewarding experience.
"Going back to these places…in some ways, gives you perspective," he said. "Yes, some of it was painful to go back to and stirred up a lot of things I have purposely left closed like a folder that you don't double-click on, but now you have to double-click to get at the real stuff. "
Bolton, who will turn 60 on February 26, hopes his story, with all its ups and downs, will inspire his fans to just keep going, even if it seems impossible.
"People ask me all the time, why I didn't quit after eight years and four albums or ten years and five albums or 12 years," he explained. "It was 18 years, nine albums, a bunch of songs that never came out and record companies that went out of business while we were recording…it's been a long journey."
So is Bolton's life story a must-read? The singer thinks the readers will have to ultimately decide.
"It's been a long journey and there's definitely some interesting stories and high points worth sharing," he said. "But I'm not being presumptuous to say, 'My life is important to all of you.' If you're interested, there's some definitely some noteworthy material in here."
Bolton's book, The Soul Of It All, is available now.

Two men who went on a drug-fuelled crime spree in Hamilton last year say they regret their actions.
But their remorse didn't stop Judge Merelina Burnett from sentencing them each to more than six years' jail when they appeared in the Hamilton District Court.
Daniel Haumaha, 25, of Te Awamutu, and Daniel Payne, 24, of Hamilton, carried out several serious robberies and thefts, leaving terrified victims in their wake.
They began by stealing items from businesses on August 13. They took $134.92 of Sudafed, cream and Lemsip from Unichem Pharmacy at Beerescourt before heading to Ngaruawahia Pharmacy and making off with medication and pharmacy products worth $575.
Two days later they headed to Super Liquor Lyndon Court, Chartwell, and threatened the shopkeeper before running off with cash from the till and alcohol.
Their offending then began getting more serious.
Haumaha and Payne armed themselves with a pistol before threatening two shopkeepers at the Tuhikaramea Superette on August 16. They left with cash and cigarettes before heading to Frankton where they cased the TAB on King St.
They waited for most of the staff to leave before smashing the front window at 10.25pm.
Once inside they kicked down a door and found members of staff counting the day's takings.
They threatened one of them with a pistol, demanding access to the safe before fleeing with $14,242 cash and a cheque book.
At the time, Payne was serving community detention.
He admitted a further charge of theft of food from various retailers in Cambridge between August 6 and 13 last year.
Haumaha's counsel Kerry Tustin told Judge Burnett that her client hadn't been idle while in jail awaiting a court appearance. Instead he had taken part and completed several courses, including anger management.
Tustin said he was already taking steps towards parole by getting in touch with alcohol and drug agencies behind the prison walls.
He described his actions as "horrific and stupid", she said.
Judge Burnett noted that Haumaha had "quite a significant history" including alcohol and substance abuse, gambling and an addictive personality.
Tustin agreed and accepted that had been his lifestyle but he was keen to make a fresh start.
Judge Burnett told Haumaha that his new outlook on life was "all well and good" but his pre-sentence report wasn't particularly flattering.
Despite having a supportive family, his "life has been unstructured and self-absorbed and led you to where you are at the moment".
Mark Sturm, counsel for Payne, said his client was remorseful, but accepted that he was going to prison. He had completed drug and alcohol courses and was about to start a chefs' course.
Judge Burnett jailed Payne for six years and nine months.
Haumaha was jailed for six years and five months, which included one month for driving with excess breath alcohol for the sixth time and driving while disqualified on August 7.
The pair were also issued first strike warnings as aggravated robbery is a qualifying violence offence.
