This episode I speak with Mary Reisel. Mary is an applied anthropologist, who has lived in Japan for nearly 20 years. Her main area of expertise is consumer psychology. She is also a PhD. candidate from Meiji Gakuin University and her dissertation is on Japanese "Enjyo Kosai" also known as Compensated Dating and how it applies to consumption and E-Commerce. After ten years of researching this controversial subject, she explains how sexuality, intimacy, and desire are not only closely linked to consumerism but also hold the keys to everything in life. In this episode we get to hear the origins, the real motivation behind "Enjoy Kosai" and the current status of compensated dating in Japan. Other topics we discuss:Why intimacy in Japan is very different than in the WestHow "Enjyo Kosai" started out as a game among high-class womenA question from a Japanese student regarding "love" which changed her viewsMarco Polo's role in her early interest in Asia and JapanThe foreign press influence in the image of "Enjyo Kosai""Enjyo Kosai" was never about sexual relations. . . The history and role of Japanese "Snacks" and Hostess barsIs "Enjyo Kosai" female empowerment, therapy, or abuse?How she did her research and how many interviews she conductedHow shopping and sex are related to the meaning of lifeThe deep psychological answer to consumerism and "Enjyo Kosai" Mary Reisel: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mreisel/Nightwork: Sexuality, Pleasure, and Corporate Masculinity in a Tokyo Hostess Club: https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Anne-Allison/dp/0226014878gugu Mattress Company: https://gugu.jpDream Drive: https://www.dreamdrive.life

Japan's next earthquake coming. The past week or so has been ripe with earthquakes and the news is talking about it quite a bit.

And so today, we are talking about being prepared and what to expect. In this episode of the Tokyo Lens Podcast by Norm Nakamura, we are talking about being prepared for earthquakes and touching on what to expect. This is really meant to be a starting point more than a finishing point, but I hope it helps.

Nothing can ruin your time in Japan like bringing in, or for that matter buying (online) something that isn't legal in the country.

Silent train rides, construction sites with dB monitors, and a culture based around etiquette. On the surface, Japan seems like a peaceful and quiet country. But today, we talk about why it might actually be the noisiest country on the planet. And no, this is not a metaphor... Japan might actually be the noisiest place on earth... or the quietest.

In 2005 I was hit with a pretty surprising culture shock when I got into Tokyo for the first time. One that has stayed with me for just shy of 15 years at this point. On the surface, it seems like a moderately inconvenient puzzle that is simply part of the fabric of Japan, but as we look deeper into the topic... lives are being saved by one very simple thing; The Last Train. In this episode of the Tokyo Lens Podcast by Norm Nakamura, we talk about something that puzzled me for longer than I wanted to admit. Until one day I went down the rabbit hole. Then I got distracted, and talked a lot about rabbit holes...

Every now and then, you get a chance in life to do something you have always dreamed of doing. But sometimes it comes with limitations. From that point on, its all about what you do with what's been presented to you. On this episode of the Tokyo Lens Podcast by Norm Nakamura, we sit down and have a relaxed and casual talk centered around opportunities and gratitude.

Life can really get out of hand sometimes... Nearly 10 years ago, in an audacious moment fueled by excitement and emotion, I brazenly and boldly promised two of Japans most world-renowned musicians that I WOULD see them again some day in Japan. Little did I know that I wasn't just predicting a future that I could have never imagined, but I was starting down a road that would forever change my life and the way that I see the world. In this episode of the Tokyo Lens Podcast by Norm Nakamura, we cover this article from SoraNews24 talking about my journey to get where I am today: https://soranews24.com/2019/02/18/is-this-real-life-how-a-canadian-man-became-apprentice-to-japans-world-famous-shamisen-masters/ I share background stories and insights and try not to get too side-tracked.

It is said that Japanese are expected to go wild in their youth... Some believe that it is a part of the culture. Knowing fully that these youth will eventually have to fall in line with society, it seems to even be forgiven. All of it seems to peak and start to wind down on one single day; The Coming of Age Day. In this episode of the Tokyo Lens Podcast By Norm Nakamura, I bring you a deeper look into the coming of age ceremony, as well as a bit of a confession...

Chinese Oreos - We got them!  A listener really wanted us to try the new Oreo flavors in China - Hot Chicken Wing and Wasabi - and had some shipped to us.  We got them, we ate them, we even video-ed us eating them. Then we continued on with our treats from Japan sent from another listener.  What a delectable and interesting array of snacks.  We also have video of these treats. Thank you both for sending these! Before all that, we also discuss our Food Experiences of the Week, which include Taco John's, Dairy Queen, and McDonalds.  

Podcast #021: We discuss Uber, Weird Japanese Snacks, The Possibility of a Writers Strike, Netflix, All the Ugly Wonderful Things, Sister Sister and Marvel's Agents of Sheild. (55:36)

Real quick: This episode is fucking great. Moving on, I had a major freak out at Freelance Wrestling this past Friday, DanDans. It sucked. But I'm giving the full details and talking it out, audio therapy style. The Artist is blindly eating and reviewing MYSTERY Japanese snacks, and he likes a few of them. But he HATES a few of them, too. When's the last time you read a good book? I'm balls deep in Stephen King's classic 'It' right now. Please to enjoy! YouTube.com/616Entertainment, SUBSCRIBE!

This week we're joined by all-round lovely man and IGN Japan chief editor, Daniel Robson. Naturally, we asked him lots of dumb questions about what Japan is like. Naturally, he made us eat unusually flavoured Japanese snacks. Naturally, there was a prolonged period of screaming. Aside from that, we talk the unexpected return of Rick and Morty, that time Overwatch's Jeff Kaplan came to office(!), and the strangest things we've done in our sleep, for some reason.
