Welcome to "Sakura Sorrow", the podcast that's guaranteed to make you feel more disappointed than a Japanese tourist during a 10-day rainy cherry blossom season. That's right, folks, not a single ray of sunshine for 240 hours straight. Can you imagine the sheer despair?

We'll take you on a journey through the soggy streets of Japan, where the cherry blossom trees stand tall and proud, but the people are anything but. We'll hear tales of picnics cut short, umbrellas turned inside out, and dreams shattered by the relentless rain.

But don't worry, we're not here to just bring you down. We're also here to find the humor in the misery, because let's face it, sometimes all you can do is laugh (or cry, but let's stick with the former). So sit back, grab a warm beverage, and join us as we commiserate with the people who have been let down by Mother Nature yet again.

Music:

Credence Clearwater Revival Have You Ever Seen the Rain
Ryuichi Sakamoto Merry Xmas Mr.Lawrence
The Who  Reign o’er Me

When you live in the most cautious,effecient and safe country in the world.There is a price to pay and that price is super annoying at times.For example while most of you have been enjoying the pleasures of a life without a mask.We here in Japan have just got shut of them on March the 13th 2023,that right 20 fkg 23.Although wandering around you would never have guessed as it seems the whole population is still masking up,so who knows when the country will see sense.Im guessing no time soon.

Episode 89

Welcome to the world of Licca chan Instagram pages, where the dolls are the stars and the women behind the accounts are the puppet masters. It's a world where explosive bowel movements and period pains are just part of the daily routine, and where being a fashion designer means creating outfits for dolls one-sixth the size of a real human.
We delve into the bizarre and hilarious world of Licca chan and the women who have left their jobs to make it their full-time obsession.
Well, it seems like these Licca chan Instagrammers have taken their passion for dolls to a whole new level. 
Could they take their love for posing dolls in everyday situations to the next level by posing real-life humans in the same way.
Trust me their are always some people who will.

It all starts innocently enough,but Criminal Minds warned us about this in Season 10 back in 2010 in the Episode Uncanny Valley.Frightening!!!


But hey, who are we to judge? Maybe this is just the natural progression of their obsession with dolls. Who knows, maybe one day we'll all be walking around looking like oversized toy dolls. One thing's for sure though, these women are definitely taking "playing with dolls" to a whole new level!

We’re getting the band back together!!!

On the latest episode of the "Just Passing Through" podcast,we share some hilarious stories about our most epic Valentine's Day fails. From forgetting to make a dinner reservation to accidentally gifting their significant other with a rabies vaccines instead of chocolates, we know how to strike out when it comes to love.

As if that weren't enough, they also recall the nerve-wracking experience of trying to hold in a fart while sharing a bed with a date after indulging in some questionable Indian food.

As the hosts regale listeners with their embarrassing tales, it's impossible not to laugh along with them. So, if you need a break from the mundane, tune in to "Just Passing Through" for a healthy dose of laughter, and maybe keep a change of pants handy just in case.

Darren and Duncan.

I’m guessing no mirrors in the house.

So,join my first podcast flying solo.
