About this listen

A Japanese Journey Through the Bible I'm Japanese and grew up in a culture where most people don’t believe in God. But during a difficult time, I found a blog that led me to start reading the Bible—and it changed everything. In this podcast, I share my journey with Scripture—honestly and gently, from a Japanese perspective. Originally recorded in Japanese, this English version is handmade: I translate, narrate, edit, and select the background music myself. 😅 If you're curious what the Bible sounds like through fresh eyes and a different culture, I’d love for you to listen and follow.💌Mimi Art Literary History & Criticism

  • Hey, Is Your God Asleep?" —The Most Savage Trash Talk in the Bible, and Why It Still Stings Today【Ep. 37】
    Apr 2 2026

    You pour your time, money, and heart into something — convinced it'll change your life. But nothing changes. 🤔About 2,900 years ago, the same thing happened to 450 prophets of a false god.

    They screamed, danced, and bled from morning to evening — and got nothing. 🦗

    Then one man, Elijah, stepped up and said: "Maybe your god is sleeping?" 😴The greatest trash talk in Bible history — and a message that hits harder than you'd expect. 🔥

    😮‍💨 That emptiness that hits you out of nowhere — with no reason at all. Turns out, the cause was written down thousands of years ago.

    This time, we're unpacking the very first story in the Bible: Adam and Eve.

    If you stopped at "Oh, the apple thing?" — this is the episode for you.

    Why do we always want to do the very things we're told not to? Why does life never feel easier, no matter how much we have?The origin of that human bug 🌀 — explored from the perspective of us, living in the modern world.

  • Everyone Else Walked Away — Except One. A Love Story from 2,800 Years Ago【Ep.35】
    Mar 20 2026

    🧊 Lately, I've just stopped caring about people, about the world, even about my own future.

    Politics is a mess. The future is a blur. "Believing in something" feels more and more like a losing bet.

    And yet the Bible — the world's #1 bestseller

    — says this: "God loves humanity beyond measure."...Honestly? "Where exactly is this love?"

    But today, I want to talk about that love — on purpose.

    A bride named Gomer who walked out on her husband, was unfaithful, and ended up being sold. 👰‍♀️

    And a husband who scraped together everything he had to buy her back.

    "Does a love like that even exist?!"From this ancient story, let's unpack the fierce, real love God has for us — one we never knew was there.
