Episodes

63. My climbing record is 333 meters above sea level. 29.05.2024

While filming for YouTube, I happened to meet a mountain climbing enthusiast. They said they climb mountains every week. I thought this was a good opportunity, so I joined them on their climb to learn more about the local area. It was very tough, but it felt great to reach the summit. It was a small mountain compared to Everest, but it was an accomplishment for me.

62. Memories of Fireworks Festival. 28.05.2024

In Japan, they say that a woman in a yukata looks 20% better than normal. Is there such an expression in your country? When I was young, there was a time when I looked 20% better in a yukata.

61. Traditional Japanese card games are quite difficult. 27.05.2024

There are two types of traditional Japanese card games, easy and rather difficult, called karuta. For easy karuta, you can enjoy the game even if you are not confident in your Japanese language skills, as long as you have the hiragana and their readings in your head. However, for difficult karuta, it takes time to get used to it, even for Japanese people.

60. I would love to cook anything, but I don't really like cooking. 24.05.2024

I don't like cooking. I don't want to if I can help it. But when I buy prepared foods or frozen foods, I feel defeated by them. That's why I try to make my own food. I don't like cooking, but for some reason I have a strange obsession with it.

59. Here are some interesting sentences. 23.05.2024

In this episode, I would like to share with you an interesting text I found on Pinterest and an interesting text made on a TV show that was talked about a few years ago.

58. The mysterious relationship between Tokyo Sky Tree and Ukiyoe. 22.05.2024

Do you know the mysterious relationship between the traditional Japanese painting Ukiyoe and the Tokyo Sky Tree? In fact, it is rumored that a certain Ukiyoe painting depicts a picture that looks like the Sky Tree. It is a landscape from the Edo period. Was there actually a big tower in that period, or was this really a foreshadowing of the Sky Tree? Which do you think it is?

57. Five recommended Japanese films and two dramas. 21.05.2024

In honor of The World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, we will introduce five films and two dramas that will help you learn about Japanese culture! Movies 弧狼の血 サニー強い気持ち・強い愛 シティーハンター るろうに剣心 ザ・ファブル Dramas First Love 初恋 サンクチュアリ 聖域

56. My ambition is to bring my hometown back to vibrancy! 20.05.2024

My hometown is in a rural area where there is no McDonald's or even a Starbucks. It's a very large town, but it's depopulated and fewer and fewer people live there. Now the town has lost its vitality. But this town has a long, long history. I want to continue to cherish my hometown with such history. That is why I hope to one day bring back the vibrancy of the town as it once was when...

55. If you have no appetite, ochazuke is recommended. 17.05.2024

If you do not have a good appetite, I recommend a Japanese product, ochazuke. Simply sprinkle ochazuke ingredients over rice and pour in tea or hot water. It is very easy to eat and good for digestion.

54. An episode of climbing Diamond Head in thick-soled sandals. 16.05.2024

When I was in my twenties, I went to Diamond Head in Hawaii wearing thick-soled sandals. The lady at the information desk warned me about my shoes, but I didn't care. The other tourists around me were surprised to see my feet. The path was bumpy, but I made it up the mountain just fine. The next day, my muscles were almost completely free of soreness. It seems that my legs and back are very st...

53. In the junior high school years, unreasonable and unofficial rules. 15.05.2024

In my junior high school days, my seniors were unusually strict. They were unreasonable. And when I think about it now, they were full of nonsense. When I was in elementary school, all the older students were kind to us, but for some reason, when we reached junior high, they became different people. This was very strange to me as a child. But I did not give in to their unreasonableness.

52. When I was in primary school I came up with a revolutionary idea for a car. 14.05.2024

When I was in primary school, I drew a picture of an idea for an innovative car for a school test after a visit to Toyota. One day, I saw a car exactly like my idea in a commercial. At that moment I thought my idea had been stolen. But when I checked now, there was no such car. Was this a strange dream?

51. Pooh bear is playing the role of a pet in our home. 13.05.2024

Owning a pet cannot be done lightly, as it involves the responsibility of looking after it until the end. We also travel often. So in our house, Pooh Bear's stuffed animals play the role of pets. He is also my only friend. Am I crazy?

50. The dilemma between convenience and traditional culture. 10.05.2024

The more convenience is sought, the more traditional culture becomes obsolete. Preserving traditional culture takes time and effort, and requires the training of successors who understand it. Neither is better than the other. I would like to see a world where both styles coexist.

49. The ice cream I was about to eat turned to ice. 09.05.2024

That was in elementary school. I bought some ice cream from a candy shop, ate a bit of it, and put it in the freezer. The next day, when I opened the lid of the ice cream container to eat the ice cream again, the contents had turned to ice. I was extremely surprised. I wondered if the ice cream I had just eaten would turn to ice if I left it in the freezer. I seriously asked my mom about it. She r...

48. My partner is not good at remembering the names of anything. 08.05.2024

My partner is not good at remembering the names of any objects. For example, names of buildings, places and people. Sometimes he only remembers them by the mood of the words. This is a problem because it can lead to terrible mistakes. I am probably the only person in the world who can understand what he means when he says something wrong. LOL

47. My partner has caused me to eat more. 07.05.2024

My partner feeds me twice as much food as the average woman eats. And he eats about three times as much as the average man. Now this is becoming the norm and I don't know how much the average woman eats anymore.

46. Which do you prefer, Japanese soy sauce or sauce? 06.05.2024

Japan has two condiments: soy sauce and sauce. They seem similar, but the ingredients used to make them, the process, and the taste are completely different. The sauce is mainly used for takoyaki and okonomiyaki, but I prefer to eat them with soy sauce.

45. Why are Japanese cities clean? 03.05.2024

Japanese school education includes time for cleaning. In addition to schools, adults also have many opportunities to carry out cleaning activities at all workplaces and in the community. We try to clean the places we use ourselves, and I think this results in the Japanese landscape.

44. Episodes from a time when I was an eccentric eater. 02.05.2024

I used to be a very picky eater. Now I've improved, but I still can't eat crustaceans. I don't like shellfish in general. But when I was a picky eater, I liked シーチキン (seachicken). シーチキン (seachicken) is tuna that has been cooked. At the time, I didn't realise that シーチキン (seachicken) was tuna. I mean I was a fool.

43. Time is passing too quickly. 30.04.2024

It has been five months since the year 2024. Time is passing really fast. A friend told me that in childhood and adulthood, you feel the passage of time differently, even in the same year. They say that when you have a set routine for the day, time seems to go by faster. She said that as a child, a lot of things happen in a day, so time feels longer. If that's the case, don't you think it&...

42. I talk to myself about everything. 30.04.2024

I usually talk to myself anyway. And yet, before, I used to like to study in the library. I don't know why I liked the library so much. But after I realized that I was a person who talked to myself a lot, I stopped going to the library. Because I recognized that I was the type of person who shouldn't be in libraries at all.

41. I would like to know more about the greatness of nature. 29.04.2024

When you are born and raised in the countryside, it is hard to realize how good it is. But once you live away from there, you realize how wonderful nature is. In the countryside, there is nothing but nature, but if you look at it carefully, you will see that the blessings of the earth are actually everywhere.

40. Bathing has a positive effect on health. 26.04.2024

Did you know that bathing has a positive effect on your health? Bathing warms the body, which soothes and relaxes muscles and nerves. And the moderate water pressure also reduces swelling in the hands and feet. The opening of the pores ensures that cleanliness is removed, which is also effective in beautifying the skin!

39. Have you ever heard of foxes and raccoons tricking people? 25.04.2024

In Japan, it is often said that foxes and raccoons bewitch people. They disguise themselves as humans and seduce people, or they don't see them but strange phenomena occur, for example. This is a common story in rural Japan. Are there any such legends in your country?
