In this episode, I share my first impressions of Japan—where even a quick konbini stop can surprise you! The cashiers? Lightning fast. The choices? Overwhelming. And my biggest blunder? Mistaking “Genkin?” (cash?) for “Genki?” (how are you?), turning a simple payment into an accidental heart-to-heart—only in Japan!

Stay tuned! 🤭

今回のエピソードでは、日本での最初の印象をシェアします。たとえコンビニに立ち寄るだけでも、驚きがいっぱい！　レジのスピードはまさに神業、商品の種類も多すぎて目が回るほど。
そして一番のハプニングは…店員さんの「現金？」を「元気？」と聞き間違えて、支払いがまさかの世間話に！――これぞ日本ならではのエピソードです。

お楽しみに！

The mic feels less scary as I try my first opening talk and song intro—then, an amazing surprise: my very first listener message! We dive into school differences and life in Japan, with plenty of laughs and a growing sense that this radio dream is becoming real.
まだちょっとドキドキしながらも、初めてのオープニングトークと曲紹介に挑戦！ そしてなんと、初めてリスナーさんからのメッセージをいただきました。とてもリアルで感動…！ そのあと、日本の学校の種類の違いや、1年目のフィリピン人としての日本でのライフスタイルについてお話しします。少しずつ成長していく放送をぜひお楽しみください。

Not fully understanding Japanese has its perks… and its surprises! I thought I was just going to appear as a guest, but somehow I ended up as a radio personality. One year in Japan, still learning the language, and suddenly on air—what could go wrong? In this first episode, enjoy the laughs as I freeze, stumble over my words, and navigate my very first Japanese radio experience. Mistakes, missteps, and all—it’s all part of the fun!
