A podcast hosted by three sisters in their 40s with a lifetime of stories and insights to share. From growing up in Japan to now living across three continents, we've gone through life's twists and turns. Join us as we dive into our cherished childhood memories, offer our unique perspectives on a wide range of topics, and recount our humble experiences living in different parts of the world. Despite long distances and scheduling conflicts that have kept us physically apart for years, we're here to give you a glimpse of what it's like to have sisters, regardless of the miles that separate us. Are we still the same as we used to be, or have we grown and changed along the way living in diverse locations? Stay tuned; we hope you’ll be entertained!

    He could arrive at 9:43 on the dot, laminate anything important, and somehow turn a simple math question into several different types of graphs. In this episode, we give our Otosan the spotlight, sharing stories from his childhood in Iwanuma, near Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture, the routines that shaped him, and the memories that still make us laugh. We talk about the reason pets were banned in our house, our grandparents’ unforgettable quirks, the “ghost photo” that scared some of us, and stories from the time we spent with his brother and his family. We also highlight our dad’s love of music, technology, history, and travel.

    In this episode, we talk with KO’s 16-year-old son from Munich about what teens are up to today. He shares insights on social media, privacy in Germany, teen slang, internet trends like looksmaxxing and Skibidi Toilet, and everyday life involving gaming, friends, and fitness. Whether you're a parent or simply curious about Gen Z and Gen Alpha, this conversation helps separate online hype from real teenage experiences.

  • 33. Interviewing Hannah: Growing up Between Nigeria, London & Ohio
    Jul 14 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    We talk with our longtime friend Hannah about growing up across Nigeria, London, and Ohio, and how immigration, assimilation, and life in a big family shaped her identity and personality. Along the way, we get into sibling dynamics and favorite-child politics, the pressure to fit in during 1990s Ohio, language loss and accent shifts as survival strategies, and how Hannah’s story compares with Sumi’s reverse culture shock in Japan while navigating school exams and feelings of inadequacy. We also talk about respect culture, family titles, Nigerian and Japanese comfort foods, and those early memories of trying to fit in as immigrant kids in American schools.
