Episode 7 No Changes Possible❌

In this bonus episode, we explore Japanese customer service at a restaurant. First, Internationals explain their frustrating experience ordering meals. And later we hear from a Japanese individual who experienced customer service abroad.

As we prepare for Season 2 of “Controversial Japan”, we wanted to share with you some bonus stories from Season 1! These are shorter stories that do not center around one controversial statement like our usual episodes, but we promise the stories still contain controversial opinions - don’t you worry😉

Listen wherever you listen to podcasts - but here are links to Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/episode/3A7Qvd7XkLMqyUj0QquA31?si=a0f42a3675d94ac8) and Apple podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/controversial-japan/id1568989699?i=1000554703978) so that you can dive right in🎙

Every episode we unpack one controversial opinion about the Japanese mindset, culture, and custom through stories and interviews. Join host Kaho Koda as she dives into her own culture and attempts to make sense of the disconnect between the Japanese and Western point of view.

Episode 6 No Need For Questions💡

“Sometimes I ignore my questions, and I just take it for what it is.” says Eri, a Japanese woman with an international mindset. In this episode, we explore the Japanese conformity and collectivist culture. First, Japanese individuals explain why they follow the crowd and then we hear what it’s like to navigate Japan from the expats’ perspective.

Episode 5 No Japanese No Service✖️

“I’m on a holiday. I’m there for the experience, right? But there are other people living their lives. My experience just intrudes in their lives, basically.” says Rutger, a Dutch man who visited Kyoto as a tourist. Rutger and (host) Kaho Koda visited Kyoto together back in 2018. And they still talk about that one evening in Kyoto where they had the same experience, yet very different interpretations of the event. In this episode we talk about Kyoto and tourism. First, we look at the foreign tourists’ experiences and then we take a look at the Japanese perspective.

Episode 4 Girl Power💪🏼

“I feel like it’s almost harder for a woman to be supported by other women in Japan to some extent because I don’t think it’s a common idea that Japanese women want to change their conditions for themselves.” says F***y, a French woman living in Japan. In this episode we talk about feminism in Japan. Do you know the word 「女子力」 (read as ‘jyoshi ryoku’)? It directly translates to ‘girl power’ but it’s not what you think it means..
