Ep.70 Men who don't cry, squeezing out their tears

We get excited sharing tear-jerking stories based on our theme.

Maintaining the usual casual atmosphere of our radio show, we each share memories centered around the theme of "crying." From pet loss and the passing of artists to tears shed when touched by creative works, various emotions stored in our memories come to the surface. Just listening to this might cause your own past memories to resurface as well.

Perhaps there is more than just one kind of tear.

We are surprised by the variety of "tears" discussed, ranging from sadness to joy, inspiration, and even the pain from wasabi or... a groin injury(?). As we talk, we begin to analyze what exactly triggers our own emotional responses. Midway through the episode, Tanizo shares a past experience, and the reaction from Wan is particularly memorable.

It has become a special time for sharing emotions.

The act of explaining the reasons why we cried seems to be therapeutic in its own right. Through our unfiltered words, the difficulty and importance of crying as adults come across clearly. For the rest of these stories and other episodes that weren't mentioned, please listen to the full episode.
