Tokyo Midlife Crisis episodes
- Sick of ‘Adapt or Die.’ I Just Want Peace
Just me burned out from hearing the same advice over and over: learn “AI-proof jobs,” chase “high-income skills,” find “jobs safe from AI.” Honestly, it’s exhausting. The future of work feels less like opportunity and more like anxiety, constant adapting, constant fear of being replaced.
2 min - AI Isn’t Progress, It’s Layoffs
When ‘Efficiency’ means erasing jobs :-/
Be real with me—do you actually feel safer with all this AI hype at work, or are you just faking enthusiasm like me? Curious if anyone else feels this gap.
3 min - 5 min
- Dear Post-Holiday You (You’ll Survive, Somehow)
Watch this when post Golden week holidays dread hits harder than your alarm clock.
3 min - It's GW Holidays, Rest Like It's Fine
Listen in if you're already worrying about the end of Golden Week.
3 min - Stop the Brainrot: My Commonplace Trick
How to break the scroll. I share my simple commonplace book trick to stop the brainrot and break free from mindless content. Save snippets, write them down, and reclaim your focus—it’s easier than you think.
6 min - I Applied to Be a Monk… and Got Ghosted Halfway
Chasing a monk’s path for my cat Gin, I got silence instead.
6 min - Cats, Midlife Crisis, and Reincarnation
Life’s a mess, and I’m stuck at my parents’ place with my cats and a midlife crisis. In this episode, I’m wondering if I’m a soul just passing through, reincarnating to learn something. Cats, dread, and big cosmic thoughts—let’s talk. Up late? Tell me what’s on your mind.
11 min - I Left My Couch and Didn’t Hate It (Mostly)
Ranting about a spring checkup trip and maybe planning a solo drive, idk.
8 min - (YouTube Grind) 10 Views Per Video? How to Stay Motivated.
Struggling to grow your new YouTube channel? Same here, friend. This video is for every small creator feeling stuck, discouraged, or wondering if their hard work is worth it. I googled 'how to not lose hope with hardly any views,' and here I am, ready to spill the tea on the struggles of new channels and tips on staying pumped up even when it feels like shouting into the void.
Don’t quit—you’re not as stuck as you think.
