    Sayonara, My First Love: A Christian Girl’s Heartfelt Goodbye

    A Christian first-love story about obedience, calling, and letting go. In this emotional episode, Hanaya faces a painful choice between a growing affection for Hiroto and the mission path Jesus called her to follow. Her honest, heartfelt goodbye—as the girl who led Hiroto to Jesus and quietly fell in love with him—offers a tender reminder that following Jesus often means choosing the harder, narrower road. Sometimes, even something beautiful can start pulling us off the path He asks us to walk. Hanaya sends Hiroto a bittersweet voice message. For the first time, she finally admits she likes him. It’s what Hiroto has been hoping to hear ever since he confessed his feelings for her. But her admission isn’t the start of something new—it’s a goodbye. Hiroto’s parents won’t support his dream of joining Hanaya in long-term missions in Mongolia or Vietnam. Then Hanaya learns he’s ready to go behind their backs—asking his grandmother for college money so he can follow her overseas. He’s even considering reaching out to Hanaya’s adventure-biker aunt, a massive YouTuber, hoping she’ll threaten to call out his parents online if they pressure the school to block Hanaya from taking her final exams. The fact that he would go to such extremes for her touches Hanaya deeply—but it also breaks her heart and leaves her overwhelmed. His parents are already upset with her, and she can’t bear carrying the blame for even more conflict in his family. Most painful of all, Hanaya realizes that her longing to stay close to Hiroto is starting to make her question the mission path she once promised Jesus she would follow. Loving him feels sweet—but it’s slowly tugging her heart away from the direction Jesus gave her. The Japanese Song (Overall Interpretation): The song expresses a love that must end, even though the feelings remain. The singer still thinks constantly about the one she loves but believes she cannot give him the happiness he longs for—so in her heartbreak, she chooses to let him go.

  2. 8 Lessons to Live Boldly for Jesus (Before It’s Too Late)

    8 Lessons to Live Boldly for Jesus (Before It’s Too Late)

    Are you holding back your light for Jesus? Are you feeling hesitant to share your faith or speak the truth because of what others might think?  Inspired by Charlie Kirk’s faith and courage, in this episode, Hanaya shares 8 lessons that challenge Christians—especially young believers—to rise above fear, embrace their mission, and boldly live for Jesus in every conversation, community, and calling. If you’re seeking courage, clarity, and guidance to make your life count for God’s purpose and shine bright for Jesus, this episode is a must-hear. What you’ll hear: 1. Don’t Waste Your Life 2. Endure Hardships and Conflicts 3. Weakness Is Strength 4. Trust the Process 5. Think Outside the Box 6. It’s Time to Stop Hiding 7. Find Your Focus 8. Your Voice Changes History This clip honors the memory of Charlie Kirk—a man who recognized his calling to youth, education, and politics, and stayed faithful to it. He intertwined his faith in Jesus with his cultural and political engagement, believing that truth belongs in every arena of life. On college campuses, he challenged conformity and inspired students to think critically and live courageously for truth. An unconventional evangelist, Charlie didn’t preach from pulpits but reasoned, debated, and engaged the questions of young people on university grounds. A reformer at heart, he saw the church not just as an institution, but as Christ’s ecclesia—called to bring biblical clarity and moral courage to every sphere of society. I want to be remembered for courage for my faith. — Charlie Kirk (1993-2025) We are called to live out our faith in everyday life—not just within church walls. Wherever we study, work, live, or spend time, those places are our mission fields. Yet too often, we’ve become convinced that as Christ followers we can be passive, keeping our faith private to avoid offense. We file into our churches and hide, as if our responsibility ends at the sanctuary doors. The greatest threat we face isn’t the depravity of the wicked, but the indifference of the faithful. — Allen Jackson Where are the people who are willing to be brave for King Jesus? Everybody likes to be liked. Everybody likes to be loved. But don't think for one second that you're ever going to get along with the world as long as you've signed up for King Jesus. You're not going to get along. So, find joy in it. — Troy Brewer Hanaya Oki Series:  https://superdifferent.com/hanaya

    Risking It All for Jesus and the Girl

    What do you do when following Jesus costs more than you expected? We often believe it’s our right to enjoy a blessing—whatever form it takes. But if we chase the blessing more than we chase God’s call, we risk being deceived. Because not every blessing is truly a gift—sometimes it’s a snare. The real question is: can you let it go? This word is for anyone who longs to follow Jesus in a world that pulls hard in the opposite direction. Remember: we cannot serve two masters. In every temptation and trial, God is proving your faith and your obedience. One afternoon, as Hanaya and Hiroto linger after school, amid the fun and laughter, Hiroto admits the weight he feels—the steep cost of truly following Jesus. It’s the same crossroads each of us must face: surrender or self. Perhaps today you find yourself in that place, visited by change you didn’t expect—or maybe never wanted. The future feels uncertain. Questions of provision, purpose, and direction press heavy. Yet right here, in this very moment, God sets before you a hinge point. Your surrender today could swing open the door to the destiny He designed for you. Say yes. Step forward. Trust Him. He is already on the other side—waiting to meet you there. Be encouraged and challenged as you listen to this clip. Hanaya Oki Series:  https://superdifferent.com/hanaya

    Loving a Girl of Contradictions

    What do you do when she won't say how she really feels? Can love endure when her signals shift and blur? Can it withstand unanswered confessions? Can it survive the weight of pressure and expectation? In the haze of uncertainty, is there someone truly worth holding on to? Yeona playfully dresses up Hanaya and snaps photos that ripple through the school group chat. Norio and Akio are surprised Hiroto hasn’t seen them yet—but when he does, the longing he tried to bury begins to surface. At home, Hiroto faces pressure from his parents: disapproval of his new faith, the weight of their expectations, and even threats to pressure the school into acting against Hanaya if she keeps speaking to him about Jesus. At school, Hanaya has already told him to stop pursuing her (in clip: Choosing God’s Call Over Love), though her eyes hinted at something her words denied. She never truly answered his confession; she only turned it away with reasons he could not fight. With nothing more to say to convince her, frustrated and wounded, he withdrew into cold distance. Yet when he saw her picture, the ink in his diary dissolved into quiet longing. Is Yeona’s plan working? Could one photo break through his defenses? And if so—can Hiroto love with courage and patience? Can he endure both his parents’ pressure and Hanaya’s mixed signals long enough to fight for her, and for love itself?

  5. A Christian Girl’s Take on Dressing Modestly

    A Christian Girl’s Take on Dressing Modestly

    As a Christian, it’s challenging to dress modestly in a culture that pressures you to be extra. The world says, “Look hot to get noticed.” But is being “hot” really the goal? Clothes are never just clothes—they reflect what we value. Christian modesty isn’t about rules—it’s honoring God above trends. Hanaya misses Hiroto. She senses he’s still upset and avoiding her. One afternoon, fresh from a run, she spots him playing basketball. She lingers behind a tree, quietly watching. Yeona, back from a modeling gig, notices Hanaya and sneaks up mischievously, teasing her to spill who she’s been staring at. She plots a plan to help Hanaya—suggesting a hot look to win the attention of the boy she likes. Their playful banter soon shifts into a deeper talk about modesty, heartbreak, and eternity-minded choices. John Piper: Don’t just ask, “What’s wrong with it?” about your music, your movies, your clothing, your parties, or your habits. Don’t just ask, “Is it a sin?”—that’s the lowest bar you can set for your life. Instead, ask: “Does this help me run? Does it help me run with all my focus, energy, and love for God? Or does it trip me up when I’m trying to grow in patience, kindness, gentleness, love, holiness, purity, and self-control?” Don’t aim for just avoiding sin. Don’t settle for the minimal standard. Aim for the highest one. Take hold of the marathon that is your life and run it with purpose. Shape every choice—how you train, eat, think, and dress to be the most God-exalting runner you can be. Finish the race spent for His glory. Hanaya Oki Series:  https://superdifferent.com/hanaya

    A Teen Model Faces the God Question

    Hiroto's a bit upset with Hanaya. But they’ve agreed to keep their distance and give each other some space. So things between them are... quiet. Enter Yeona. The new girl… who isn’t so new to Hiroto. A rising teen model with big dreams and a spotlight chasing her, Yeona once shared a classroom — and a friendship — with Hiroto back in Tokyo. She moved to Seoul after 9th grade, and now, out of nowhere, she’s reappeared in this sleepy seaside town. Hiroto knew she was coming back to Japan… but Kamakura? His school? That he didn’t see coming. On her first day back, the two reconnect after school. But knowing the kind of industry Yeona's stepping into, Hiroto doesn’t hold back — he dives into a heart-to-heart about purpose, identity, and the bigger picture of life. He’s hoping to plant a seed... maybe even wake something up in her. But not everything is as simple as it looks. What’s the real reason Yeona chose this town… this school? And what will Hanaya think when she sees Yeona getting too close to Hiroto? Hanaya Oki Series:  https://superdifferent.com/hanaya

  7. How Long, Lord, Before Clarity Comes?

    How Long, Lord, Before Clarity Comes?

    In this heartfelt and intimate dialogue between Hanaya and Jesus, we explore the tension of making decisions when God’s will isn’t immediately clear. When it comes to the specifics of life, it often seems that God invites us into a process of discernment. He doesn’t always give immediate answers; instead, He allows us to wrestle with decisions. There’s a purpose in that struggle. If you’ve ever struggled to discern God’s direction in love, relationships, what job to take, whom to marry, where to live, or any other life decisions, this conversation will resonate deeply.  After unintentionally hurting Hiroto with her words (previous clip), Hanaya finds herself burdened with guilt and inner conflict. Longing for clarity and peace, she retreats the next day—after school—to a quiet place, seeking solitude, reflection, and a space to pour out her heart to Jesus. There, in raw honesty, she wrestles with emotion, uncertainty, and the weight of an unclear future. Jesus offers compassionate wisdom on why He sometimes chooses to withhold clarity.  Hanaya Oki Series:  https://superdifferent.com/hanaya

  8. She Chooses God’s Calling Over Love

    She Chooses God’s Calling Over Love

    Some believe love and calling don’t have to be at odds—that they can walk the same path. And sometimes, that’s true. But not always. Would you be willing to let go of someone you like if their path isn’t the one God is calling you to walk? Would you surrender to stay focused and faithful to your calling? When pressure mounts, when personal desire collides with divine direction, our choices reveal the true depth of our devotion to Jesus. Whose voice will we follow? Hiroto is upset-Hanaya never told him about the school meeting with his parents and others (previous clip). He feels blindsided, left out of something that clearly mattered. What stings most is his mom’s threat to Hanaya—something he now feels he should’ve seen coming. Meanwhile, Hanaya is wrestling with her unspoken feelings for Hiroto and the unsettling uncertainty of whether he truly belongs in her future. She fears that Hiroto may be pursuing the mission path more out of love for her than out of a true calling from Jesus. To her, his affection—deep and sincere as it is—seems to blur his ability to clearly hear Jesus' voice. And that worries her.  In trying to protect both of them, Hanaya says things that may have unintentionally wounded him more deeply than she realized. She wants him to choose calling over love. But Hiroto believes his love for her is part of how his calling is being shaped. Did the school meeting push Hanaya to speak too soon? Or was it fear—fear that Hiroto isn’t ready for the pressure ahead? Was it the necessary truth that needed to be spoken in love, or Hanaya projecting her own doubts? Did she misread Hiroto’s heart… or did Hiroto misread hers?  Could it be Jesus’ will for Hanaya and Hiroto to be together? Is Hanaya and Hiroto’s love part of Jesus’ plan? Stay tuned to discover what unfolds. Hanaya Oki Series:  https://superdifferent.com/hanaya
