Masa Tanahashi
My name is Masa and I am a Japanese-American just trying to figure out life in Japan. I moved here in 2017 and have been changing things up, learning new things, and making a ton of mistakes along the way. In an effort to get advice on finding a fulfilling career here, I've decided to start up a podcast as an excuse to just interview people.
