In this special Christmas episode, we look at how Japan celebrates the holiday in a completely different way from the West.
From romantic Christmas Eve dates and strawberry shortcake traditions to the famous KFC boom, we dive into why Christmas in Japan feels more like a celebration for couples than families, and how the holiday became what it is today.

If you’ve ever wondered why Japan celebrates Christmas without Santa, stockings, or turkey dinners—this episode will clear it up.

In this episode, we break down some of the most confusing parts of Japanese grammar: particles.
From は (wa) vs. が (ga) to に (ni) vs. へ (he), we explain what each one really means, how they’re used in everyday conversation, and how choosing the right particle can change the nuance of a sentence. We even have a small quiz in the end where you can try to make sentences together with Kade!

If you’ve ever wondered why Japanese needs so many particles, or which one you should use in different situations, this episode will make everything feel much simpler.
