    I found a review.

    "...This book is definitely not for teaching or learning how to pronounce the Japanese sounds,
    as the title might mislead prospective readers at first sight. The principal preoccupation
    of the author is with a phonology (or phonemics as he chooses to call it) of “Tokyo
    Japanese” as spoken today. Circumstantially explained and densely argued, the book
    requires concentration and patience on the readers’ part in following what the author has
    to say on the various aspects of “the sounds of Japanese”..."     --Tsutomu Akamatsu
