Show Notes
"A man goes missing. Fifteen months later, his family finds a fresh concrete slab poured in his backyard. What's buried underneath changes everything.

Jake and Shoko aren’t meeting the CEO of your average moving company. This is Miho Saita, the owner of a yonige–or, night moving–company. Night fleeing, to be precise.
Morimoto is Jake’s trusted accountant and friend. So when Steve and Becky need an accountant, Jake is more than happy to recommend Morimoto. But as time goes on, Steve and Becky start to realize their new accountant might be hiding something. Just when the truth starts to show itself, Morimoto…evaporates.
What if someone close to you just … vanished one day? That happens to tens of thousands of families a year in Japan, and it happened to Jake Adelstein, too, back in 2018 — when his accountant disappeared, just before tax day. Adelstein, the author of Tokyo Vice, and co-host Shoko Plambeck go in search of that missing accountant, and take us on a journey into the fascinating and bizarre world of Japan’s johatsu, or “evaporated” people.
