This World Cup is the gift that keeps on giving. While Brazil played out a fairly professional victory, their quarter final opponents just about scraped by in what is instantly a World Cup classic. Day 18 and hopefully this tournament will never end. Brazil 2 - 0 Mexico: Mexico started brightly, but they started to fade from the 20th minute on. They did expose weaknesses in Brazil that Belgium will be looking to exploit, namely Fagner at right back. Casemiro will also be suspended which is a significant blow to the Brazilians. Belgium 3 - 2 Japan: Who knew Japan had it in them? Much improved from the group stages, Japan exposing weaknesses in this Belgian side. But they also exposed that this Belgium team has a lot of fight in it, many teams would have given up at 2-0 down but Belgium powered on and ultimately deserved to go through.

FinTech in Japan is far more advanced than most outside observers imagine it to be, and based on new deregulation and government incentives, finTech in Japan is about to accelerate even more. Today we sit down and talk with Toshio Taki, co-founder of Money Forward, advisor to Japan’s Financial Services Agency, and the head of the FinTech Institute of Japan. He not only tells the story of the founding and growth of MoneyForward -- one of Japan's finTech success stories, but he outlines how the Japanese government’s plans to promote financial innovation while still maintaining the integrity and stability of the industry as a whole. The Japanese banking regulators are, at least in this sense, far less conservative than you think, and they are setting up a finical ecosystem in Japan that will lead to far more innovative finTech startups than we are seeing coming out of Europe of America. It’s a great discussion, and I think you’ll enjoy it. Show Notes How banking and credit card use is different in Japan Why most Japanese need multiple bank accounts Why finTech is evolving differently in Japan Who really controls household finance in Japan How Money Forward was reluctantly pulled into the B2B market How Japan's FSA is promoting finTech and financial innovation in Japan How the FSA is forcing Japan's banks to open up to innovation Links from the Founder The Money Forward homepage Japan's Financial Services Agency Connect with Toshio on LinkedIn [shareaholic app="share_buttons" id="7994466"] Leave a comment Transcript Welcome to Disrupting Japan, straight talk from Japan’s most successful entrepreneurs. I’m Tim Romero and thanks for listening. Okay. For all of you fastidious followers and fanatical fans of all things FinTech, I have a fantastic show for you today. We’re going to sit down and talk with Toshio Taki, co-founder of Money Forward, about how the Japanese government is forcing the banking sector to allow startups to innovate. Well, perhaps forcing is too strong a word, let’s just say that Japanese banks are being strongly encouraged to work with startups. Now, Toshio studied under Peter Thiel at Stanford before co-founding Money Forward which has become the leading personal finance app in Japan. He’s also an advisor to Japan’s financial services agency and the head of the FinTech Institute of Japan. After listening to Toshio, you’ll understand why the Japanese banking regulators are far less conservative than you might imagine them to be and why the Japanese financial sector is about to become a whole lot more competitive than what exists in Europe or North America. Of course, this being Japan, risks must be understood and managed. And Toshio walks us through the Japanese government’s blueprint for fostering financial innovation while still maintaining the integrity and stability of the industry as a whole. This episode is required listening for anyone who wants to understand the future of FinTech in Japan. And you know, Toshio explains that much better than I can so let’s hear from our sponsor and get right to the interview. [pro_ad_display_adzone id="1411"  info_text="Sponsored by"  font_color="grey"  ] [Interview] Tim: So I’m sitting here with Toshio Taki, the co-founder of Money Forward and head of the FinTech Association of Japan. Toshio: Cancelled meeting today and I’m very excited for this podcast. Tim: I’m glad to have you here because I think FinTech in Japan right now and Money Forward, it’s pretty amazing space to be in. Before we get started on the overall market, let’s explain what Money Forward is. I know it’s online financial management software that you sell to individuals and small business but tell us more about what it actually does. Toshio: Sure. In brief, Money Forward operates two types of businesses. One for the B2C where probably the most familiar name would be mint.com.

Scotland or Japan? It's the question on everyone's minds. Who's minds, you ask? Where ya been? No one's talking about Kardashians or Trumps or hunky Canadian dudes who somehow get to run countries where people eat poutine and slide rocks across frozen, swept water. Nope, it's all about a place full of craggy rocks and craggy people vs. the land of Hello Kitty and Karaoke. And like Chris Hardwick after The Walking Dead we're here to talk you through it, to lend support as you try to sort out your feelings about those places and some games based on them. It's a tough one, too. Do you lightly follow a path through the windswept shores, rocky hills, and green pastures on The Isle of Skye in search of sheep and fine whisky, or do you build and run factories in Nippon, spreading your goods, and ships and trains out across the whole of Japan? Who knows? We don't, but were gonna talk about it anyway. DESTINATIONS: 04:29 -- Some Games We Encountered13:30 -- The Joy of Rockin' Live23:57 -- Isle of Skye (in depth)73:34 -- Nippon (in depth)

So why did President Millard Filmore decide to send an expedition to Japan? Who exactly was Commodore Perry? And why did he have such a thing for giving people model trains?   All that and more, this week.
