On episode 79 Motoi, Brent and Edgar discuss the Coming of Age ceremony that usually takes place during the first month of the year, the different styles of kimono the new adults wear and some problems that didn’t allow some kids enjoy the ceremony as they wished for.
Join the discussion, let us know what you think. Is there a similar ceremony in your country? What types of coming of age ceremonies or rites exist in your culture?

Episode 80.- Net Café Refugees
On Episode 80, the Living Japan crew discusses about the call for volunteers to work at the Tokyo Olympics, asking for high skills professionals not only to donate their job, but to also cover all their expenses to work at the event. Is the organizing committee asking too much from these medical and language professionals? We also talk a little bit of the bitcoin and cryptocurrency craze and the recent hack that took place in Japan. Finally, for our main topic, we talk about one of the many faces of poverty in Japan: the net cafe refugees. Join us while we talk about the difficulties that these new type of homeless people face and as we discuss about the popular myth that says that “there is no poverty in Japan”.
Don’t forget to join the conversation and let us know your thoughts about this issue in the comments.
