In this podcast, we will define due diligence and how important it is when it comes to business and investments. I hope that this podcast will help listeners who are starting something risky.

FLO TALKS 

THE IMPORTANCE OF DUE DILIGENCE

Netflix now has 10 million subscribers in Japan, according to the streaming company.

It got to that number during the first half of 2024, so it may be even higher by now — and it's double the number of subscribers Netflix had in the country four years ago.

It's believed that new Japanese shows on the platform — including Tokyo Swindlers, The Queen of Villains and The Boyfriend — have helped the streaming service get more subscribers.

"Japan in particular is a country which wants to see a lot of its own content so we strongly feel the need to produce it," said Kaata Sakamoto, Netflix's vice president of content for Japan.

He added that the company wants to produce more content that will be popular with people in Japan, including more sports and comedy shows.

Subscribers around the world have also been enjoying Japanese content on the platform. It's the third-most-watched non-English-language content on Netflix, after Korean and Spanish. And Japanese anime shows and movies have been watched more than 1 billion times on Netflix in the last year.

Sakamoto said there are plans to make more anime for the platform, but he wants to find "stories that have never been told before."

Netflix first came to Japan in 2015. In 2023, it was the most popular streaming service in the country, with about 22% of the market share.

Around the world, Netflix has more than 280 million subscribers.

Simple Japanese Listening with Meg（めぐ）Smile

#25 ゲーム / video game  // N5 Level

In this podcast I want to talk about this situation that usually happens often, I saw a post on social networks from someone that I would like to share:


"Me gusta mucho Medellín y hay muchas cosas buenas de la cultura. Pero odio ser tratado como un cajero automático andante por la mayoría de la gente. Podría ser muy bajo perfil. Pero tan pronto como descubren que soy de los Estados Unidos, la gente ve los signos de dólar y siempre están tratando de correr o cobrar de más. Es realmente deshumanizante. La gente es muy rápida para intentar rogarme por algo, pedirme algo, o hablarme de todos sus problemas financieros esperando que yo les pague. Es realmente triste. Todavía no he hecho ni un solo amigo colombiano porque todos inmediatamente empiezan a intentar jugar conmigo y luego, por supuesto, no podemos ser amigos."

I would like to know your opinion with these questions that I want to share with you:

¿Qué papel juega la cultura en la forma de establecer amistades? ¿Existen diferencias significativas entre las culturas hispanohablantes?

¿Cómo influyen los estereotipos sobre los extranjeros en la dinámica de las relaciones sociales?

¿Creen que el uso del dinero puede afectar la autenticidad de una amistad? ¿Por qué?

¿Qué papel juegan las redes sociales en la forma de hacer amigos y cómo pueden influir en estas dinámicas?

It's hard to make friends because sometimes they use me as an ATM.
