In this episode, we discuss: The Great Ghiblification, Shinigami Totori, The Sayama Incident, Mr. Sato's Transformation, The Demon of Reiwa, The Watatsumi Shrine Incident (a False Poo Operation?), YOUは何をしに日本へ, Studio SIX Shibari (link purposefully excluded as it is NSFW), and some relatively unknown news stories related to Japanese tourists behavior poorly abroad, the picnic incident being my personal favorite. 

Additionally—please note this erratum: There appears to be approximately zero (0) evidence that Johnny Somali is commonly referred to as “The Oni of Reiwa” (aka 令和の鬼) across the cyberplanes of the Interweb. A classic AI-chan brain burp. An illusion. A shimmering mirage in the Data Desert.

This brings me to an important point: Please keep in the following disclaimer when listening to the Deep in Japan Podcast: We know nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Also, this reality is likely just a low-budget sim run by a caffeinated intern in a higher dimension who’s currently on break. So don't take anything srsly—especially not us. 

Please also note that Deep in Japan Podcast™ is entirely free-range, non-GMO, and listener-fueled—meaning it runs solely on the psychic energy and microtransactions of beautiful beings like YOU (hopefully). If you like what you hear, consider BECOMING A PATRON. Like most things, it only hurts the first time. 

If you've got something to say, drop me a line on Twitter at @DeepinJapanPod or email me at [email protected]. However, plz note that I'm far more likely to reply to MY AMAZING PATRONS. Apologies, but there are only so many hours in the day—and, well, some people are just better (perspectivally).

Lastly, for those rare souls yearning to tap into the Deep in Japan Soundtrack™—a collection of vibes, echoes, and probable spells—venture boldly to my SUNO page, where waveforms wobble and basslines whisper like ancient melodic sutras. 🎧⚡️ 

Thanks for listening, traveler of the ear. Yoroshiku and rockets!
