If you see a tanned kid in school uniform with a shaved head, that’s probably a Kyuji: a teenage baseball player. In this episode I discuss the popularity of baseball in Japan, and the cancellation of the biggest baseball competition in Japan. (Sorry for the constant tapping, I must have been excited today lol)

If you’ve ever heard two Japanese people in conversation, you might notice the listener making funny sounds while the other person is talking. In this episode I will introduce the Japanese word for this sound, and why we do this so much. Link to KT Tatara’s “Not Asian Enough”: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CZYI5ujAU1A

A casual attempt at talking about myself, my friend, and some possible directions of this podcast.
