Debrief Sesh is your invite to the unfiltered catch-ups of Stacy and Hannah — two Japanese American besties living in Tokyo and San Francisco, figuring out love, pop culture, and all the chaos that comes with your twenties. From dating disasters to deep dives on whatever’s trending, it’s the kind of convo we usually save for private… but now we’re letting you in.
Debrief Sesh（ディブリーフ・セッシュ）は、東京・サンフランシスコ在住の日系アメリカ人・ステイシーとハンナによる、本音全開のガールズトークにあなたをご招待。恋愛のあれこれ、ポップカルチャーのトレンド、そして20代ならではのカオスな日々を、いつもの“内緒のデブリーフ”感覚で語っていきます。普段はこっそり話してること、今こそシェアしちゃいます。
Pre-brief:
This week, we’re catching you up on what we’ve been up to lately… Hannah shares a quick update on her SF life and Stacy shares some funny stories from her trip to Kamikochi… along with a few things you definitely should know before going, especially if you’re traveling with someone you may or may not have a crush on cuz Hannah had the same experience when she went couple years ago lol
Main topic:
Spark vs. Slow Burn relationships. Unsurprisingly, we’re on opposite sides again. Stacy can’t imagine being with someone if there isn’t an instant spark, while Hannah thinks love can start with chemistry or grow over time…but lately we don’t have time for that slow burn, so she’s been on the “spark” side recently. We talk about whether we believe in“love at first sight”, how this connects to today’s situationship culture, how spark may eventually die down overtime, and is one really better than the other?

Things My Ex Did But I Still Stayed
Pre-Brief: Obsession is 100% worth the hype (spoilers alert). We break down why we think it’s one of the best horror movies we’ve seen in a long time. Plus we get into a little K-pop drama, the new girl group from the HYBE x Geffen audition show, SAINT SATINE, has already lost a member… and they haven’t even debuted yet. Yikes.
Main Topic: After watching Obsession, we started reflecting on all the crazy things we’ve done for someone we liked…and the equally crazy things our exes did that we somehow stayed through. From spending way too much money on them, holding in your farts/#2 for so long that you end up constipated and needing treatment (yes…really), or even acting “chill” when they fully edit you out of a photo lol - we’re sharing some of our embarrassing but now-funny crazy stories. Join us as we laugh at our past selves and ask the question: what is the craziest thing you’ve ever done for love?

Hopping On The Bandwagon
Pre-brief:
World Cup is in full swing, and although Japan unfortunately got eliminated, we did win one thing for sure - the hearts of millions of fans across the world bc GADDAMN we have some fine shyts on the national team🥵 (Nakamura Keito, we're big fans)
Main Topic:
Speaking of hopping on the World Cup bandwagon, there's recently been a spike in number of people getting involved in trendy things - HYROX, F1, pickleball, etc... And that's not necessarily a bad thing, but we can't help but be a bit skeptical at how much people are actually enjoying the thing, versus enjoying the commotion around the thing. Is this an unfair hot take? Tune in to figure out for yourself!
