Description: Japan is a contradictory nation of ancient traditions and modern high-tech free enterprise. Within its dark shadows and hidden places, Great Old Ones, Outer Gods, and their monstrous servitors lie in wait for the unwary. In the corporate boardrooms and political offices, secret societies carry out their sinister agendas. In hoary shrines and temples, Shinto kami and Buddhist bodhisattvas provide ancient knowledge and alien enlightenment to those who remember the old ways. Cutting-edge corporate laboratories uncover forbidden secrets and create new horrors born of human science and the corrupting power of the Mythos. The mass media bombards the population with escapist entertainment and crass materialism while the madness of cosmic truth slowly seeps through, burrowing into the popular consciousness.
Welcome to the Land of the Rising Sun, where you will discover that the horrors of the Cthulhu Mythos are not limited to the West.Secrets of Japan provides detailed information for playing Call of Cthulhu adventures in a modern Japanese setting. This book includes new character occupations, new spells, new monsters, new organizations, and rules for playing Japanese investigators. Also included are three adventure scenarios, two short stories, a glossary of cultural terms, details on Shinto and Buddhism in a Call of Cthulhu setting, extensive cultural background notes, and the secret history of Japan!

Considering that Call of Cthulhu is the most popular TTRPG in Japan, I'd love to see some input from Japanese creators if we ever get a 7e update of this book.

Good point, I believe that it's been the most popular since before this was released, so I wonder why it wasn't written by a Japanese Author and then translated, like a bunch of Shadowrun stuff was written in Germany and then translated into English.

Glad to see lots of stuff still floating around on UA-cam, and I'm glad to see your still uploading. Here's to more reviews.

Plenty more coming, especially now my audience are introducing me to games I never had chance to experience back in the day.
