Episode notes

In this episode, we continue our conversation from Episode 4 and dive deeper into what it really feels like to pursue a creative career and an unconventional life.

We talk about:

• How our parents and friends reacted to us moving to Japan

• Losing people along the way who were thought to be close friends

• How pursuing your dreams can sometimes reveal who is truly there for you

• How the creative path is not as glamorous as it really seems If you've ever felt pressure to follow the "safe" path, or you've experienced people changing as your life changed, we'd love to hear your story.

💬 We’d love to hear from you:

  • Have your family and friends supported your dreams?
  • Have you ever lost friendships while pursuing a goal?
  • What advice would you give someone thinking about taking a non-traditional career path?

🎙️ New episodes every Sunday 9pm JST. Follow for honest conversations about life in Japan, sharehouse living, and the experiences of foreigners building a life in Tokyo.
