Japanese Cinema Night at Home

- Start by choosing a few Japanese movies that you both find interesting. Create a comfy movie set up by the couch, including blankets and pillows. Enjoy your first movie, then take a break in between for some light conversation or to get more snacks. Continue with the second movie if you wish or call it a night after the first one.
- Cook some home-made Japanese dishes together beforehand to elevate the theme. Set up a mini Japanese corner with some chopsticks and small plates to make it feel more authentic.

Preparation steps:
- Select 2-3 Japanese movies that you both are interested in. Make sure to have English subtitles for easy understanding. Prepare cozy set up with blankets, pillows, dim lighting and a comfortable space to sit.
- Plan some Japanese snacks for your break time. It could be Pocky, Onigiri, or Ramen, easily available in any supermarket. Also, consider cooking Japanese cuisine together before the movie starts.
- If you want to learn some Japanese phrases, find reliable online sources or use language learning apps. Prepare a mini Japanese corner with some authentic Japanese tableware like chopsticks and small plates.
