Music guest N.E.V.R., an Okinawan-based hip-hop artist. Give him a buzz on Spotify, would ya?
The rona-emergency has taught OneTwenty and I at least one thing — some gaijins you can trust, others . . . maybe not so much. We also discuss noodle-flavor sodas. It’s a thing. The RONA is winding down and Tokyo is opening up, but we’ve seen this before. Remember: Paranoia does not exist.

Matt (Twitter) and Michael OneTwenty (Instagram ) interview Kymera Korpse (Spotify) a southern edm-rap group that has a deep and invested love for all things Black and anime related. We talk Japan anime, music, and how looking at other cultures makes you look at your own. We play and react to “Alligator” by Kymera Korpse.
Other than that, we talk about how Michael experienced very weird racism in Okinawa, how lockdowns end and then start again, and theorize about what the Olympics would look like if (OR WHEN?!) they were held on ZOOM, which may or may not be a Chinese surveillance tool used on so many of the world’s corporations.
