  • Hey Girly, He's Cheating On You

    In this episode, we’re diving into the messy world of cheating - in our opinion what counts/what doesn’t, and the time one of us found out months later (from a friend!!!) that things were a biiiit sketchy.…
    We also break down the cultural differences between Japan and the U.S. when it comes to infidelity, like how prostitution is often seen as “just a transaction” in Japan, and there is no emotional betrayal. We also get personal: Would you call FaceTiming someone else cheating? Holding hands? (Pancake vs Waffle style? lol) Do you check your partner’s Instagram likes? Good debrief sesh for sure 👀

  • Golden Age of J-Dramas, J-Pop Going Global, and Our Current Stans

    Episode 3!! This week we’re throwing it back to the golden age of Japanese dramas - we’re talking 花男 (“Boys Over Flowers”), イケパラ(“Hana-Kimi”), and all the chaotic, romantic, addictive 平成-era classics that raised us. We dive into why that era was so iconic, why the new stuff just doesn’t hit the same, and of course, our eternal love for Arashi (yes, we’re screaming over their comeback after their 4-yr hiatus). Plus, we talk about the J-pop idols we’re into now and how it finally feels like some Japanese idols are getting the global shine. Warning: Major fangirling ahead lollll

  • Perfectly Valid Icks

    We’re back with Episode 2, and this time, we’re coming for the icks. From guys who can’t call a waiter to those who fumble “thank you” and “sorry,” we break down the little things that give us the big ick. Then we dive into how being friendly with male coworkers somehow gets misread…we’re just trying to make a cool work buddy without it getting weird?? Plus: Hannah’s pattern with so-called “nice” guys, and why Stacy doesn’t trust them one bit. It’s giving: kindness shouldn’t feel risky-but sometimes, it does.

  • Single Girl Summer and the Art of the Situationship

    To kick off our first ep, we talk about how hard it is to dress for Japan’s summer without feeling scandalous, dating in Japan — what it’s like getting hit on with “Can you teach me English?”, how we feel about situationships (spoiler: we don’t agree), and that moment when your ex shows up on Bumble… with a photo you took. Come hang <3
