Why Japan’s Summer Heat Will Break You (Deodorant can save us all!)

Listen. It’s hot. Unreasonably hot. Hell’s sauna on discount. And the deodorant? A lie. On this week's episode of No Ginger (しょうがない), Ash and Samar heroically risk heatstroke and social cancellation to investigate why Japan’s summer turns us all into sweaty swamp goblins. Samar gets electrocuted for science (and dry feet). Ash yells about parasols and smells to save her eyeballs and nose. The internet's advice is Taisho era old, and why are people wearing 3 jacekts when it's 35 degrees? We're tackling some seriously critical questions like: Is ¥6000 deodorant a scam or salvation? Why aren't pharmacies doing us all a solid with their marketing campaigns? Honestly, it’s just two foreigners trying to solve Japan’s heat crisis armed with sarcasm, trauma-bonding, and electrolytes. Join us. Bring ice cubes. BYO deodorant.
