#7 Why Japanese People Struggle with English Pronunciation
Why do Japanese speakers struggle with English pronunciation — even after years of study?
In this episode, I break down the real reasons: the structure of the Japanese sound system, a school system that teaches English to be read (not spoken), and the fear of sounding "wrong."
More importantly — I share the three tools that actually work: shadowing, self-recording, and word stress.
Your accent doesn't have to be perfect. It has to be clear. And that's completely learnable.
🎧 This week's homework: Record yourself saying one English sentence every day. Just one. Listen back without judging.

#4 What Japanese Culture Taught Me About Letting Go
In this episode, Shimayuki explores three powerful Japanese concepts — Mono no Aware, Wabi-Sabi, and Shoganai — and how they can help us release what no longer serves us. Whether you're holding on to a relationship, an identity, or a version of your life that isn't working, this episode offers a gentle, culturally rich framework for letting go with grace.
Key concepts covered:
- Mono no Aware (物の哀れ) — the beauty of impermanence- Wabi-Sabi (侘び寂び) — finding beauty in imperfection- Shoganai (しょうがない) — releasing what you cannot control

#3 Why Doing What You Love Is Harder Than It Sounds
We’re often told, “Just do what you love.”
But in real life, it’s rarely that simple.
In this episode, we focus on jobs and explore why following your passion can feel confusing, risky, and even exhausting. Social pressure, money, fear of failure, and our own expectations often get in the way of what we truly want.
This podcast isn’t about chasing a perfect dream.
It’s about listening to yourself, questioning what “success” really means, and finding a more honest way to live and work—one small choice at a time.
If you’ve ever felt stuck between what you should do and what you want to do, this episode is for you.
