His American dream was born in a cinematic moment: a 14-year-old on the Golden Gate Bridge, listening to Maroon 5, deciding "I'm gonna live here". But what happens when the dream meets the unfiltered reality of Los Angeles?
In this deeply honest conversation, our guest from Japan shares the real story of his international student journey. He expected total English immersion, only to walk into his first day of language school and find it filled with 15 other Japanese students.
He gets real about the "scary" side of US news and the shocking, "crazy" cost of everything in LA—from gas and rent to health insurance. We also go deeper into the cultural divides, like:

Why US dating culture is so "confusing" and "scary" compared to the Japanese "confession" culture.
Why his dad was "pissed" about his decision to quit college in Japan and leave a "secure job" path for the US.
