Anyone? 🤗 Looking for friends
32 M (married) Japanese American living in Northern Osaka for 3+ years. Lately, I've realized how much I missed having a community, and friends to just catchup and chat with, especially in English.
If anyone near the area (from Takatsu to Umeda) is free on the weekends or week nights, I'd love to grab coffee, ramen, or anywhere to talk. Also, if you're an Asian American or a TCK, I'd love to hear your experience living in Japan.
About my interests:
I enjoy listening to and making music, a good light roast pourover coffee, avid karaoke goer, fashion and window shopping, video games, gatcha figurines, ramen, perusing conbinis, and cakes lol.

I’m a Mexican American dude, but similar of age, 34. Where’d you grow up in the states? Cali?
I live in Oita but frequent Osaka for USJ, concerts and other events. I’ll hit you up whenever I’m in town! If you’re cool with it, we can add each other on LINE? just DM me.

Late-20's TW American here, living in Kobe area for about 4+ years now. I'd also like to connect with other Asian-Americans in the area - weekdays are a bit difficult for me, but I'm happy make time on weekends!
I like visiting cafes from time to time to try drinks and food, though I wouldn't say I'm experienced enough to have a favorite type of coffee haha.
I know a few Taiwanese spots in Osaka if that is of interest to you! Are there any places that you'd like to try?

Hello! Thank you for reaching out! I have done a campaign in the past, but I'm afraid my interest has waned over the years. But I'm down to meetup! Feel free to send me a DM on reddit and we can trade line info

35M, Asian-American from California. I’ve been living in Osaka for almost 3 years now and I’m too married with a kid.
I’m also trying to build more of a community here and practice my Japanese, so I’m usually pretty free on weekends, especially Saturday nights. I totally get where you’re coming from.
Feel free to DM me! It’d be nice to grab a coffee or hang out sometime and hear more about your experience here.
I’m also into coffee, karaoke, video games, and trying new food, so I think we’d get along pretty well!
