YUYUの日本語Podcast

YUYU has quietly built one of the largest Japanese learner podcast libraries around, with 463 episodes covering an enormous range of topics. Episodes run longer than most in this space — thirty minutes to over an hour — which makes them better suited for deep listening sessions rather than quick study breaks. If you are the kind of learner who wants to sink into Japanese for an extended period, this is your show. The content spans personal interests, traditional Japanese storytelling forms like rakugo, J-pop music recommendations, cultural observations, and candid takes on life in Japan. YUYU has an engaging personality that listeners consistently praise — his voice and delivery make even unfamiliar topics enjoyable to follow. The longer format gives him room to explore subjects thoroughly, using natural speech patterns and colloquial expressions that shorter podcasts often cannot fit in. YUYU supplements the podcast with e-books and Japanese language classes, and a Patreon program offers extended content for dedicated listeners. With a 4.7-star rating from 154 reviews, the show has a loyal following. The weekly updates have been consistent since 2019, creating a deep archive that intermediate and advanced learners can mine for months. This is the podcast for people who have moved past structured lessons and want something closer to how Japanese people actually talk to each other.
