We’re back—and we have some catching up to do. Meet Martin and Kristy: two Japanese Americans who built lives in Japan and came back to California changed by it. In Episode 1, we talk about why the podcast is back, Kristy’s Japan story, and rebuilding confidence and optimism after rejection. We share what we’re chasing this season, then finish with reactions to Reddit stories about life in Japan. Expect honest conversations, tangents, and opinions we’ll probably defend for too long. If you’ve ever felt caught between where you’re from and where you ended up, pull up a seat. Subscribe for more conversations about Japan, identity, work, relationships, and life between cultures.
