Tune in to #MyTimeInJapan, available on most Podcast platforms! Join us for a journey across the land of the rising sun, with memories, lore, and history!
#MyTimeInJapan Episode 7 is out now! We’re discussing the roadmap of where this podcast is headed as well as some memories around Japanese music. Give it a listen at https://t.co/XPlcLwmaiA
The writing for another #MyTimeInJapan episode is COMPLETE! I'll start recording sometime next week and aim to get back to a regular release schedule starting in July. Thanks for your patience y'all. I've been having so much fun writing again!
A few episodes are just about ready, but I'm looking for some more questions for the #MyTimeInJapan Q&A segment. We're in Izumo at this point in the narrative, but we've also touched on the city of Matsue. If you have any questions about the journey so far, let me know!
Y’all, this is a prime example of what NOT to do when you are traveling - not just in Japan mind you. Be respectful and mindful of the people, customs, and cultures around you!
I am happy to announce that we have more episodes on the way! A few will be ready soon to provide a steady release schedule. That being said, I want to invite anyone interested to submit questions for the Q&A segment we will be including in each episode. [email protected]
@Michanoku I was watching a video from Senpai Gaming the other day, and he was talking about how there’s a current trend where drama and hate mongering are bringing more views/engagement than actual worthwhile content. Keep posting about what you love, I want to see!
I didn’t realize the yuzu bath was a tradition, but I did enjoy plenty of those seven roots during the winter in Japan! Also, side note: I miss getting oden during the colder months… 🥶🤤
It’s Toji! (冬至 winter solstice) On this day it’s traditional to float yuzu (柚子) in the bath and eat one of “Winter’s seven roots” (冬至の七種): pumpkin, renkon (lotus root), carrot, ginnan, kinkan, kanten, or udon.
Stay healthy and happy for the rest of the season!
Going around to see the lights around the holidays has long been one of my favorite things to do this time of year. Japan has embraced the practice of “Illumination” and you can see some beautiful setups! Breathtaking!
@PaprikaGirl_JP This is fantastic 😂 I’ve never actually seen this film, but I’ve seen some of the clips, and I’m a fan of Alan Rickman (rest in peace) and Bruce Willis
@PaprikaGirl_JP Now is the year for me to finally watch Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. I first heard the theme song in 2010 and Sakamoto’s music has inspired me ever since! I’ll check out the others too, thanks for the recommendations!
This is beautiful! And one of those things you can’t necessarily find in a dictionary. We each grow at our own pace, just like cherry blossoms, plums trees, and peach trees do!
