Hello! My name is Taishi, and I'm an English teacher located in Tokyo, Japan.

I've been teaching English mainly to Japanese businesspeople, but I'd like to try the opposite on Podcast--teaching a bit about Japanese to people outside of Japan.

I'm going to talk about some hot news and cultural trends in Japan and introduce some related Japanese words or phrases that might be interesting for you, who are...

-Currently learning Japanese

-Interested in the Japanese language

-Interested in Japan in general

Today's topics

-Ju-On: Origins Review

How is it "based on the real events"?

-Japanese Words to Check Out

呪い curse

怨み grudge, hate

呪怨 curse + grudge (curse coming out of grudge)

What does the ending music say?

This is my first podcast and I know it's very awkward, but I'll try to keep improving as I go, so any feedback will be welcome!

Thank you so much for your support!
