BrentInJapan Podcast 0005 Life as a Performer in Japan and Fighting School Bullying with Winz
🍜 Today’s guest:
Winz is one of the best performers I’ve seen live. He’s full of energy and I have huge respect in his ability to preserve his voice even though he sings almost every night of the week. You can get an idea of what it’s like living in Japan as an entertainer, and you’ll see that his life goals spread far beyond music. You can see him perform live at Garage Paradise in Kobe, accessible in 30 minutes from Osaka station.

We are just two people talking about our experiences. It does not describe everyone’s experiences in Japan.
My iPhone camera was focus breathing all of a sudden. Sorry. I’ll switch to manual focus next time.
