332.【会話】Generational Gaps at the Japanese Workplace | 職場での世代間ギャップと働き方の変化 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Yusuke( もしもしゆうすけ ）once saw a young employee walk in late — Starbucks cup in hand, smiling — and we ended up talking about what's really shifting in Japan's workplaces. Is the younger generation just more relaxed, or is something bigger changing? We get into generational gaps, punctuality, paid leave, and power harassment — and what it all means for the future of Japanese work culture. It's the kind of conversation you'd have over coffee, not in a classroom. Come listen in! 🎧 Full transcript, vid
331. Japanese YouTube Channels I Actually Watch | 私が見ているYoutubeについて (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you're learning Japanese, you've probably watched a lot of channels made for learners. But you might also wonder what Japanese people actually watch — I get asked this a lot! So this time I'm just talking about four channels I watch myself. A bookshow, a literary critic, a cook, and one small channel about Tokyo that honestly I half wanted to keep to myself. It's a pretty relaxed episode. Everything I mention is linked here: https://www.sayurisaying.com/japanese-youtube-channels-i-actually-wa
330.【会話】How Do Japanese Couples Actually Manage Their Money? | 夫婦のお財布事情 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It's not something people here talk about — so I asked. Tatsuya is back, this time to compare how married couples in Japan handle their finances: the old 小遣い制 kozukai-sei (the wife manages the salary and hands her husband monthly spending money), what 按分 anbun means (splitting shared costs proportionally, not 50/50), and why some couples end up with three wallets. We also get into travel, workation, and one small purchase worth far more than it cost. Unscripted Japanese for intermediate learners
329. Ningen Dock: Japan's Full-Body Health Checkup | 人間ドックを受けてきました (opens the original)
Read excerpt
"Human dock." That's what 人間(にんげん）ドック literally says. So what do you think it actually means? Maybe some of you are thinking "human and dog." I went for one recently, and in this episode I talk through the whole morning, from the changing room to sitting down with the doctor at the end. I also get into how it's different from the kenko shindan (健康診断), the free yearly checkup that companies arrange, and the one test I'd rather not do again. 🎧 Full transcript, video, and more: https://sayurisaying
328.【会話】The Negi Pile-Up: When "Free" Becomes a Gray Area | 無料トッピングどこまでOK? With もしもしゆうすけ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It started with a mountain of negi — green onions — piled onto a bowl of udon at a self-serve topping station. In this episode, Yusuke( もしもしゆうすけ ） and I talk about where the line is, why shops now have to post rules that used to go without saying, and what that shift says about Japanese society today. If you've ever felt like something quietly changed in how people treat shared spaces, this conversation is for you! 🎧 Full transcript, video, and more: https://sayurisaying.com Search by episode nu
