Hello From Nihon

'One cut of the dead' is Japan's answer to 'Shaun Of The Dead'. In this Japanese zombie-comedy movie we get a unique take on the zombie genre that will surprise you and warm your heart.

Pepe the Italian stallion is heating things up at the Terrace House and Yusuke gets the saddest call from Haruka. On top of all of this, we learn what the other members of Terrace House think of Kaori. 

A famous 'Japan' youtuber recently made an off-hand comment talking ill of conveyor belt sushi (Kaiten Sushi). Yes, there is better sushi to be had here in Japan, but conveyor belt sushi is not only tasty but it's a fun experience unto itself. I highly recommend to try conveyor belt sushi if you are visiting Japan you'll be pleasantly surprised.

What is Ai Nori? Well imagine if you had a Japanese version of 'the bachelor' reality show but in a mini-van driving around in a foreign land. On top of that, imagine that each member has to get someone else in the mini-van to fall in love with them. 

'Ai Nori' literally translates to 'Love Ride' in Japanese and this is one of our favorite shows on Netflix . 

Like always, spoilers ahead, Terrace House's new episode is sadly titled "A Man's Worth Is Determined By His Job". Ako and I disagreed a bit on the title of this episode but we both enjoyed to see the new Terrace house members Pepe and Emika. 

Both Lauren Tsai and Avian Ku appeared on Terrace house at the same time (August 29, 2017) and they are the first non-Japanese to appear on Terrace House, not Pepe

Here is the thing, it's not easy for Japanese people to live abroad because very few countries out there share Japan's language and culture. In today's Hello from Nihon episode Ako and I got into the meat of the matter of what exactly motivates some Japanese folks to take the plunge and live abroad.  

This is an interesting episode of Hello From Nihon, we started talking about the culture shock I experienced living in Japan but the conversation quickly descended to general Japanese toilet shock and the different types of toilets in China and Germany. 

This was a hilarious and sad episode of Terrace House for many different reasons, before you listen, please understand that there are several spoilers ahead. This Terrace House episode focuses on Ruka, Kenny and Risako, the things that happen might make some of you cringe with embarrassment, and some of you will laugh out loud. 

This is what happens when you make a 'Hello From Nihon' episode at night, nothing but Terrace House chaos. In the 13th episode of Terrace House titled All Or Nothing, we got Ruka getting shutdown by Kaori and we also have Risako rejecting Kenny's advances. All in all, a very exciting Terrace House episode. 

Japan is awesome and there are things here that you'll never experience anywhere else. The food here is awesome, and not just the Japanese food, there are so many tasty dishes here from all around the world. In this episode we talk more about it.
