With Gamba Golden Week in full swing, Jonny and Ben round up all of the action from the past two top flight matchdays, beginning in the east, where Kashima hold a two point lead over FC Tokyo with four games to play (to 23:40), then shifting west, where Kobe's once vice-like grip on top spot is now hanging by a thread after they were crushed by Gamba Osaka on Saturday.

We'll be back later in the week with a review of Matchday 15, so keep your eyes peeled for that pod!
