Hello.
Welcome to Josephta.me, the personal website of, erm, Joseph Tame. I’m a Tokyo-based Brit orginally from Herefordshire, now living with my wife in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. I’m a freelance digital media producer, consultant, inventor, entrepreneur, public performance artist and marathon runner. Sometimes I combine all of these into one.
Press Coverage for the iRun 3.0
In the days leading up to the Tokyo Marathon 2011, the iRun 3.0 story went viral. Below is just a small sample of the media coverage that ensured that I didn’t get any sleep that week.
In addition to these, I made numerous appearances on Tokyo MXTV, Fuji TV, NHK, TBS, and BBC Radio.
