In this episode we talked about the latest Terrace house episode, we also went over Japan's child birth crisis and Japan's strict laws on Immigration. We also went over Karaoke and how it's a major part of Japan's night life. If you plan on going out at night with friends in Japan, be prepared to sing a song or two. 

In this episode we talk about a growing trend of Japanese people going to the Philippines to learn English. We also talk about teaching English in Japan, I have many years teaching English in Tokyo. I've worked for several companies and schools. I explain why these current English teaching positions are not as good as they used to be. If you're thinking about working and living in Japan then this is an important episode to listen to.

In this episode we talk about Yuriyan Retriever's fame in Japan and in America after appearing on America's Got Talent. We also go over Dazaifu Tenmangu Temple and the interesting history of Sugawara Michizane (the Japanese god of intellect). 

On episode 5 of Terrace house 2019-2020 there was a ton of Hidden 'Cultural' Messages throughout the episode that the subtitles didn't pick up on.  Remember spoilers ahead, so if you haven't seen the latest episode of Terrace House (Episode 5 - Reiwa) then I highly recommend you watch it first.

Here is Teppanyaki done correctly, well at least this is how Teppanyaki is cooked in Japan. 

In Nihon, Teppanyaki is more of a luxurious meal instead of the family type of event we have at Benihana. 

I like both styles but both experiences completely different from each other, It's interesting to see how Teppanyaki evolved in the states.

Terrace house is not on this week so went over Dating in Japan and how Japanese guys don't give compliments to Japanese women. We also talked about Con Artist who trick lonely Japanese women into giving up their cash. On top of that, we went over how Christmas became popular in Japan. 

We started this episode with a Terrace House cooking clip watching Shohei make Chinese food.

This is a quick story about a fight I saw between a Japanese hooligan and a drunk salary man, this happened one dark night when I was heading to Shibuya Station (Tokyo, Japan) after partying at Club Asia. 

It's important that you understand Japanese culture when watching Terrace House. In this latest Terrace House episode 'I Want To Be a Hero' we learn about some of the cultural references made within the Terrace house 2019 - 2020 show. 

I personally feel that Ruka is a player and he is subtlety manipulating both Risako and Haruka. We also saw Kenny is the back seat as Haruka's love interest. 

Both Risako and Haruka have their eyes set on Ruka, which Japanese girl will Ruka choose. Every Terrace House Episode is getting more and more exciting, Can't wait to watch the next episode. 

We crack the Tamago Kake Gohan's Egg with this Terrace House 2019-2020 episode as we take a closer look at what Ruka is really up to. We also talk about Kendama and the big deal behind Tamago Kake Gohan. Ako and I also talk about Tokyo, specifically Kamata and the Kanagawa area's of Kawasaki and Tsurumi. Kawasaki is where Ruka is from and I doubt he is as innocent as he says he is.  We also go over Izakaya culture and why some foreigners love it and hate it.

This time we discussed Terrace House 2019-2020 the Tempura Incident episode 2 on Netflix and a bunch of other topics, like Natto and Ghibili cover music. We also went over Haruka and her need for attention from the male members. 

Plus. we talked about the little fight Haruka had with Shohei about being focused in life, also known as the Tempura Incident. 

Ako also taught us some new Japanese words like "Buriko", "Jiken" and "Kawaii". 

On top of all that, we also talked about Harajuku, Tokyo and some of the cool places and people you can see there.
