play

04/14/22 • 58 min

The Kyodai get just a little bit meta in discussing their podcast; Cazes has some interesting questions re what it means to be either an expat or an immigrant, and how they perceive their home countries as a result of living in Japan for many years. An un-edited trumph! [sick]

The Kyodai Brothers - The Kyodai Brothers- Episode 20 - Hokkaido
play

05/24/22 • 59 min

Cazes and Dave talk about their first love of Japan – Hokkaido. The largest prefecture in Japan, this paradise of mountains, rivers and wildlife has a lot to offer. Boasting some of Japan’s most loved cities, Sapporo, Asahikawa and Hakodate; from the green pastures of Tokachi to the wilds of Daisetsuzan National Park and it’s hairy-beary denizens, Hokkaido even boasts some of Japan’s best, most natural onsen, so why is this amazing place not so well-known by visitors to Japan?

07/14/21 • 58 min

Cazes and Dave get a little verbose in this deep, deep dive into those interesting, hard-to-translate words that give Japanese some of its fascination. What’s your ikigai ? Is that toilet mottainai enough for you? Does watching transformers movies make you feel natuskashii ? Or do you wish you could practice irusu when a mendokusai guy from the TV company comes to your house? There’s only one place to find answers to these questions. The kyodai are feeling nori-nori in this episode. Itadakimasu !
