Summary

This week we’ve got some chat about where the best place is to go and see 'Hanami', otherwise known as Japan’s world famous cherry blossom!

We’re also discussing whether you’re likely to be denied access to certain areas if you have piercings and Japan’s attitude towards animals.

Plus Pete is filling us in on his trip to see Watford v Liverpool with Kayta and Chris is teasing a potential sequel to Natsuki The Movie.
