Sendai Lads is a podcast about life and random things — from a slightly atypical lad in Sendai. Hosted by Moto, this podcast drifts between stories of life in Japan, travelling through unfamiliar places, creative detours, and the strange ways people reinvent themselves over time. Whether you're interested in Japan, life abroad, or simply listening to thoughtful stories that don’t fit neatly into categories, this is a space for small observations, personal journeys, and lives that move slightly off-script.

    Ep3: Based in Sendai, but not staying still

    You’d think that once you’re settled somewhere, you’d stay still. Even with a settled life in Sendai, I still find myself thinking about the next trip, the next country, the next flight.

    Ep2: A normal day… and ramen

    What does a “normal day” look like? In this episode, I talk about my everyday life in Sendai—work, routines, and the small things that fill the day. Somewhere along the way, ramen tends to appear more often than expected. It’s not really a guide, and there’s nothing particularly dramatic. Just a quiet look at what life feels like now, and how my idea of “normal” has changed over time. —Sendai Lads: An Atypical Life in Japan

    Ep1: Why Sendai?

    I was born and raised in Sendai—but I didn’t plan to come back. After spending years away, including time in the UK, I eventually found myself returning to the city I had once left behind. In this first episode of Sendai Lads, I talk about how that happened, what it feels like to come back to a familiar place as a different person, and why I’ve chosen to stay. From seeing Sendai with fresh eyes to building a life here again, this is a personal starting point—for both the podcast and a slightly atypical perspective on life in Japan. —Sendai Lads: An Atypical Life in Japan
