S01E05 Yuriko Kotani, Japanese speaker - From Japan (Part 2)

The hilarious interview with Yuriko continues in this episode.In the last episode, your host Kuan-wen and Yuriko started the discussion of the partial and poor understanding of Japanese culture by western societies. An extension of this is the fetishisation of Japanese culture. Because of some of the terms mentioned in the chat eg Bukkake (ぶっ掛け) - and possibly because your host Kuan-wen's mischief - this episode has been marked containing explicit content.---------------------------------------Yuriko's Instagram (@yurikocomedy), Facebook and Twitter (@YurikoComedy)Yuriko's 2022 Edinburgh Fringe Festival show Kajiu AboutIf you like the episode, please share it and leave a review.
