  • Gaming in a Rice Field at 2am | TheAtHomeShow - Episode 06 - Sharla

    Living in the countryside of Japan, things flow just a little differently. Sometimes so differently that you find yourself standing in a rice field at 2 am with a game console in your hand.... 

    In this episode of The At Home Show by Norm Nakamura, we are sitting down and talking to Sharla about life, Japan, and so much more! Also... might not have actually been gaming in a rice field at 2 am, but... you'll get it when you listen!

  • Japan's High Cost of Owning Pets | The At Home Show Episode 02 - Micaela
    There is a city in Japan seemingly dedicated to youth culture. Where business pop-up and then fail, and nobody bats an eye. A place where a fair sized apartment will cost you what a closet would cost in Tokyo, and where the nightlife never seems to stop. Ever. And that is where we are going today.
    In today's At Home Show episode of the Tokyo Lens podcast, we are sitting down with Micaela and talking everything from pet ownership, to why Fukuoka just might be THE place to live!

  • Before We Start - The At Home Show - Ep 0.5 The State of Our Worlds Here in Japan

    Before we can fully kick off the At Home Show, we wanted to make sure that we took a bit of time to acknowledge the current world state. You see, in the episodes to follow, our goal is to take a break from the world and everything going on in it, so we actively choose not to discuss this topic in any of the episodes after this one. Let's just say that this episode, is one for the history books.

    On this episode of the Tokyo Lens Podcast by Norm Nakamura we are starting off by sharing the situations and experiences of each of the creators in the intial run of the At Home Show. Starting down in Beppu and working our way up as high as Morioka, Japan, we talk to creators from all over the country who share their experiences.


    Looking for the rest of the At Home Show? It will be coming out in pieces at random times over the weeks and months to come! Don't want to wait that long?
