Controversial Japan
Japan is a prime example of collectivist culture while western countries put emphasis on the individual - such polar opposite mindsets. Misunderstandings and confusions are bound to happen when these two perspectives collide. Every episode we unpack one controversial opinion about the Japanese mindset, culture, and custom through stories and interviews. Join host Kaho Koda as she dives into her own culture and attempts to make sense of the disconnect between the Japanese and Western point of view.Produced by Human Burrito ProductionsWritten and hosted by Kaho KodaSound design by JunanCover art by Macie MatthewsTheme song by Mikara

Just listened to the entire podcast in one sitting while working. I think this is a well produced, well researched podcast. I enjoy the transitions, the cultural insights, and the personalities shared. Please make more podcasts!
Cross cultural is different from controversial
27 nov.
Not so controversial, which implies right and wrong or issues of morality. Just cross-cultural differences between Japanese and Westerners. Maybe interesting to newcomers, but old stories to longterm residents. The “controversial” issues the presenter discusses have been discussed to death elsewhere already. There are lots of controversies in Japan and some of them concern cross cultural topics. Why not choose some of them to discuss and cover new ground? And instead of talking about differences between Japanese and Westerners, why not deal with the growing number of non-Western immigrants to Japan — Brazilians, Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipinos, etc — who are now the majority of non-indigenous people in Japan?
素晴らしい内容。もっとエピソードを増やしてください。

健康のために散歩をしていてその時にControversial Japanを知って毎回聞いていました。でもすぐに全てのエピソードを聞き終わってしまいました。できたらもっと週2、3ペースで聞きたいし、扱ってほしい話題も沢山あります。たとえば最近ならジャニーズの性加害問題とか。日本は痴漢も多いし性犯罪についての認識が世界水準より低いように思います。それ以外にも日本には「ここがもっとこうなれば良いのに」って思うことが色々あります。Controversial Japanはインタビュー形式でよく編集されていてとても良い番組だと思います。
Very Thorough!

I enjoy this podcast and hope to hear more! What is so great about this podcast is that it doesn’t exist in a vacuum. There is a lot of well-thought out social observations that are thoroughly explained and dissected with regard to language, mores, and traditions. The interviews also expand on these ideas by providing nuance, further background, and personal experiences.
