Customer Reviews
Great conversations!
I really enjoy hearing your casual & fun conversations about interesting Japanese topics. It’s nice to hear the personal perspective from each host. It helps me understand Japan a little more since you all live there, but you also understand a foreigner’s perspective as well. Perfect length ... not too long or too short.
Very enjoyable. Thanks for all the work you put into it.
Mansplaining-lite
I don’t like how that one guy gets so excited he loudly talks over people. It’s not mansplaining but like mansplaining-lite. The contend is good but I cannot hang around with this dude dominating everything!
Nice group topics
I like the show I just listened to ep 73 the only reason I gave 5 stars is because the audio quality. It sounds like it’s a Google hang out session. there isn’t a problem with that it’s just the audio quality isn’t that great. Just fix that and you guys get a five star review.
