TWO OF SEVERAL REVIEWS (more at link immediately above):

"In this important and necessary book the authors address migrants and immigrants to Japan in saying that "we believe that your life in Japan should be under as much of your control as legally possible." That it sometimes seems not to be, is the reason for their having written this handbook... The wise newcomer, be he or she nascent migrant or not, is hereby counseled to acquire this valuable volume and render life in Japan not only possible but practical and pleasurable as well." (Read full review)

--Donald Richie, The Japan Times Asian Bookshelf column, April 20, 2008.

"Higuchi and Arudou's HANDBOOK promises to be the second passport for foreigners in Japan. It provides a map to navigate the legal, economic, and social mazes of contemporary Japanese life. Practical and affordable, clear and concise, the Handbook should contribute not only to a better life for newcomers to Japan but also to a more humane society in Japan."
--Dr John Lie, Dean of International and Area Studies, University of California at Berkeley, and author of MULTIETHNIC JAPAN.

"Japanese Only--The Otaru Hot Spings Case and Racial Discrimination in Japan"
By Arudou Debito
2006 Revised Version ISBN 4-7503-9018-6

(Click here-- or on the Book Cover above --to visit a special site with news, book reviews, and more!)

REVIEWS:

"A reasoned and spirited denunciation of national prejudice, discrimination, and bigotry. It's not that the Japanese have all that much more of it than anyone else, but that they lack an interface to fight it. This lively accounting will help them find it." ---Donald Richie
"An important, trailblazing work that will go down in the annals of civil activist journals... Will be the book of reference on the subject for decades to come and should be required reading for anyone studying social protest." --Robert Whiting, author, The Meaning of Ichiro, You've Gotta have Wa, and Tokyo Underworld.
"A powerful, poignant, and path-breaking docu-narrative." ---Ivan Hall, author, Cartels of the Mind and Bamboozled.

FICTIONAL:

A JAPAN MAN (working title). I have written a manuscript (in English, plus four chapters in my level of Japanese) on life and the trials of corporate culture in Japan. Awaiting a publisher. Anyone interested? Excerpts here:

Excerpt one--Susukino--Sapporo's Party District
Excerpt two--Hokkaido's Economic Dependency on the Japanese Mainland
Excerpt three--MBAs and their Inculcated Blindness to Asian Culture
Excerpt four--「虐待会社」原稿の４５ページの抜粋（日本語能力は１９９７年ごろのレベルですが）
「虐待会社」この経験について北海道新聞記事

THE TREKS. To give you a more complete idea about extended essaywriting abilities (this time without excerpts), please have a look at some of my travelogues, which are more recent writings about life in strange lands (particularly America and the reverse culture shock). They are very personal in places, so be advised. Please click to see some teaser summaries of:

MISCELLANEOUS:

THE PALE JOURNAL. I guess I shouldn't count these as published works (since I was the editor of the publication), but I have various articles and Editor's Notes in the Professionalism, Administration, and Leadership in Education (PALE) Journal, published three times a year by JALT (The Japan Association for Language Teaching). From December 1997 to January 2001, as editor, I wrote for for every issue. I have webbed the full text of all the PALE Journals from Dec 97 here.

THE HIBA NEWS. This is an online monthly Newsletter for the Hokkaido International Business Association, a group of entrepreneurs and regular businesspeople trying to escape the mundanity of English teaching and break into the business world. I have been the editor from 1992-93 and again from 1997-2000, and every month I wrote a new article or report that sometimes gets leaked to the internet or onto my web page. Past HIBA Newses are available at their website here (but it's not mine and it is not often kept up to date), but as of now there are articles webbed on Fingerprinting Laws, Hokkaido International Airlines, and more on my "Activists" and "Residents" Pages

THERE ARE ALSO various articles in smaller print and online information sources, which are reprints of my internet articles that are already on my web page. To wit:

The Alien Times (Tsukuba) June 1999 on "Arbitrary Gaijin Card Checks" (info site here),
JALT Other Language Educators (OLE) SIG Newsletter June 1999 on "Ten Questions to Ask Your Employer Before Taking a Job (info site here),
ELT News from 1998 onwards re the Japanese University Blacklist
The New Observer, Nov 1998, on "Advice to Overseas Educators Thinking about a Japanese University Position" (text here)
The Sapporo Foreigner, August 1992 (now defunct) on "Nontariff Barriers".

So as you can see, I write a lot.

Let me know if you want me to write more.
