Josh is FanSided's Stairway to 11 contributor and is the host of the niche-yet-entertaining Back of Japan podcast on Spotify. His features can be found all over the place, like at GameSpew and Dualshockers where he covers anime, music, movies and video games, or at Tsunagu Japan and Edge of Niigata where he promotes tourism around Japan. He's listened to My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless" over 100 times (forward and backward), and wishes he wrote songs like David Byrne circa '83. You can find him listening to a diverse diet of City Pop hits, Stereolab, Zeppelin, MF Doom and - when no one's around - ska.
