本音と建前クイズ!Ever heard "行けたら行く" (I'll go if I can) and wondered whether your friend is actually showing up? In this episode I quiz Tatsuya, an online Japanese teacher, on honne (true feelings) and tatemae (the polite front) — everyday phrases where the words and the real meaning don't quite match!
職場での世代間ギャップと働き方の変化について。Yusuke once saw a young employee walk in late, Starbucks cup in hand, smiling and we ended up talking about what's really shifting in Japan's workplaces. Generational gaps, punctuality, paid leave, power harassment — where is Japan's work culture headed?
夫婦のお財布事情を聞いてみました🙈 It's not something people here talk about — so I asked. Tatsuya joins me to compare how married couples in Japan handle their finances: the old kozukai-sei (a monthly allowance for the husband), what anbun means, and why some couples end up with three wallets?
