You read about them here first
Ever since 1897 The Japan Times has reported daily in English on people, places and goings-on in and beyond this country. During those 116 years, our articles have often included information that never made it into the Japanese-language press — as in 1934, when the Society Page carried an interview with a German journalist named Richard Sorge — a full seven years before he made headlines having been exposed as a Soviet spy; or the routine report we ran on a young woman's victory in a small tennis tournament in 1955 — some four years before she became the new Crown Princess (now Empress) Michiko.

Though widely published in Japan, she is a hidden gem for international audiences.
