Learn Japanese at JapanesePod101.com! You asked for it, so here it is! Our first stab at looking at unravelling the mystery of the short intro gags at the beginning of each podcast.

Naomi and Marky and Yūki sit down to talk about 11 hand picked intros and talk about what’s going on in there. You’ll be surprised how much cultural background goes into a 30 second (or less clip).
