S1E1 - Welcome to...JAPAN
In our first journey, we head to Japan: home of the J.League, one of Asia’s most exciting domestic competitions. We spotlight Urawa Reds, explore the legendary career of Kazuyoshi “King Kazu” Miura, and uncover how the manga Captain Tsubasa inspired generations of kids worldwide to chase the ball. Along the way, we bring cultural insights, surprising stats and a taste of Japanese football fandom.
Whether you’re curious about anime’s link to the pitch, or just want to know how a 56-year-old striker is still playing professional football, this episode brings Japan’s football story to life.
