Every day has been a little different lately.

No, like also, I'm in pajamas.

So I spent the last while putting something together for you guys.

And I think you're gonna like I hope you're gonna like Internet tourist.

Okay, let's go with a bit of context.

When I first started Tokyo Lens, the gold was very simple.

On top of obviously sharing the things that I love of Japan.

I wanted you to feel like you were traveling with me vicariously.

Partially selfish.

I've always enjoyed Japan more when I'm showing people around.

But I also know that not everybody I can travel, whether it be health or responsibilities or any one of the multitude of things that ties people to home.

And now almost all of us are type home all the time.

And we have all the tools we need to have a bit of a window into the world that sometimes that window just sucks.

So I wanted to give a little bit of a break and give you guys a chance to fill your years and your time with something a little more positive longer than like a attended 12.

Many YouTube video and so, for the past couple of weeks have put together something north of six hours of interviews with creators at home all over Japan.

And I can't help but smile.

It's been a long ah fun, and I'll give you all the details after I show you a bit of a preview.

So let's call this episode zero of what I've dubbed the at Home Show.

I'm sitting here with Dogan.

Everyone on Duggan, without giving away the farm completely, would really give a little preview, maybe talk a bit about what we talked about in our epistle.

Yeah, so, uh, we focused primarily on Japanese.

We talked a kind of about aspects of the language that people who are learning it might not know about but would be good to know about.

And we covered some very we actually covered one really useful, Ah, phonetic rules.

So kind of a secret for knowing the hitch accent of a whole bunch of verbs just by looking at the word.

Then we also talked about some funny kind of anecdotes about learning Japanese but misusing it in real life and also kind of the classic the jungle jewels and kind of how people interpret that over there.

Japanese learning journey.

I would say I couldn't have given a better summary myself.

I'm gonna leave it exactly like that.

So I guess we will talk to you in a few days.

As for the role of planets are gonna be coming out on the Tokyo Lens podcast, which obviously will be linked down below.

And with the goal being to take a break from the craziness of the world right now, we actually go out of our way to actively avoid the topic of the current situation.

Except for Friday's episode Friday's episode we thought it was best just to address that situation head on right from the beginning.

So in that episode, pretty much every creator across Japan currently involved in the project comes together and shares their situation and experience and everything like that.

But from Monday for Monday, there's none of that from Monday is just fresh.

Just today's coffee turnover and just to be super clear on things.

No, it's not coming out on YouTube.

Everything's gonna be over home.
