I've got a copy of a collection of short stories by Hoshi Shinichi which I hope to read at some point in the near future, an interesting author. I don't think that these two stories are included though so thanks for the link!. EnJoe Toh has only a couple of short stories in translation, see the post on Japanese Literature Charity Project to read one, the other is in Speculative Japan 2, published by the Kurodahan Press.
