Can Foreigners Really Fit in Japan? feat. French Antonio

Join my Patreon -   / kubotamusic   During my time in Japan this year, I sat down with an old high school friend of mine who has been living in Osaka, Japan for the past 7 years. His name is French Antonio, a music artist and content creator who is African American and in the LGBTQIA+ community who has built a life for himself in Japan from the ground up. As a straight Japanese person, I knew his perspectives differed than mine when it came to living in Japan and interacting with Japanese people, so I decided to chat with him to learn about his experiences. We discussed topics on social issues, societal norms in Japan, traditions and customs, cultural appropriation, and much more. It should be noted that our conversation is anchored in our observations and our own experiences and should be taken with a grain of salt as everybody's experiences differ from one another.
