Oh, hi! 👋🏼We're back with our new bi-weekly schedule. Did you miss us? Just lie and say you did; we won't know. Lol! In this episode of Tokyo Kawaii Club Radio, Manae and I review her favorite video as a kid: a 1990 tour of Tokyo Disneyland. Lots of retro goodness here.  And, because this a MEGA episode, stay tuned after the Disney discussion for a bonus Japan-themed episode where I chat with my longtime friend Ina. Since she happened to be in Tokyo for work (and a little bit of pleasure,...

Oh, hi! 👋🏼We're back with another episode of Tokyo Kawaii Club Radio. In this episode, Manae and I review the 1944 movie/musical/hodgepodge-of-randomness known as The Three Caballeros. In addition to this movie being known for portraying Donald as a total hornball for human women (say wha?), it also introduced two somewhat rare Disney birds: José Carioca and Panchito Pistoles. Listen to find out what we think of this bizarro movie. And, as always, we have our usual departments like news/tip...

Would you look at that? We're at Episode 4 of Tokyo Kawaii Club Radio. Not only that, but it's also the second MEGA episode. That means immediately after the Disney discussion, there's a special BONUS Nihon Nerd episode. And this one's special, indeed, because I interview the woman directly influenced my decision to move to Japan back in 2017: Elizabeth Mueller.  But before we get to Elizabeth, Manae and I revisit DuckTales yet again. But unlike last week, we're not reviewing the old-school...

No, it's special because this is the first MEGA EPISODE. Yep, that means you're not only going to get a regular Disney-themed episode, but you're ALSO going to get a BONUS Japan-themed Nihon Nerd episode immediately after the Disney blabber.

Oh, hi! My name is Michael Donahoe. I recently moved to Japan to start my own business, Tokyo Kawaii Club. And now I’m starting my own podcast, Tokyo Kawaii Club Radio. In this episode-before-the-first-episode, I explain what Tokyo Kawaii Club Radio is all about. Basic gist: Each week, myself and my friend Manae Nishiyama discuss the Tokyo Disney parks, review a random Disney show, and give tips for first-time travelers. Then, every other week AFTER the Disney discussion, you'll hear a bonus...
