Okkei Japanese Podcast

In this episode: I talk about going to a "Jam Session" bar in Japan. I haven't played music in a long time, but I finally gathered the courage to enter a local bar. I talk about:
The difference between "Ichigen-san" (first-timers) and "Jouren-san" (regulars).
Meeting a cool master and drinking handmade ginger ale.
Playing songs by Mr. Children, Bump of Chicken, and Oasis with strangers.
The joy of connecting with people through music (and how it's just like language learning).

Today I talk about my favorite manga, "Coji-Coji." It is written by Momoko Sakura, the creator of "Chibi Maruko-chan." Coji-Coji looks cute, but his words are very deep, almost like Zen philosophy.
His answer to the question "What do you want to be in the future?" teaches us an important lesson about living in the "now."

I also talk about the style of Japanese radio programs and my idea to make a new jingle.
I hope you enjoy this episode

I went to Kyoto in January. I skipped the famous temples and explored the South side. I found delicious Amazake (sweet sake), a great hotel for only 3,500 yen, and learned about the history of the area.

Also... I overheard someone talking about Japanese podcast.

Japanese conversation for listening with @JapanesewithShun. You can relax and listen to Japanese in a slow and gentle way.

Tonight, we talk quietly from inside our futons. It feels like a small night chat with a friend before going to sleep. We remember school trips, talking about crushes, and those exciting nights with classmates. Then we talk about our night routines, baths, showers, YouTube in bed, podcasts, and the little habits we have before sleeping.

Konnichiwa! I was born in Japan and raised here, from kindergarten to university.
I share my personality and why school life was sometimes difficult for me.
I talk about feeling pressure to be the same as others and to follow the “normal” path.
I also share my experience of leaving my job and moving to Tokyo.
This is a quiet, personal story about feeling different and finding a freer way to live in Japan.
