Created By Someone Who Gets It
Not just theory—real experience navigating Japanese dating culture
B, Founder of GoGen Languages
Linguist • Certified Translator • Culture Expert
I've been where you are—confused by mixed signals, wondering why things weren't leading anywhere, making cultural mistakes I didn't even know I was making.
As a graduate-trained linguist who speaks German, Portuguese, Spanish, and Japanese, I've spent my life studying how language and culture shape human connection. I've lived all over the world—from California to Brazil to Germany to Spain to Japan—and dated across all these cultures.
After 5+ years of navigating Japanese culture, I learned what actually works. Now I teach how to navigate Japanese culture without the trial-and-error pain I went through.
The Japanese Female Perspective
First-hand experience as a Japanese woman who has dated foreign men
Honoha, Instructor at GoGen Languages
Linguist • Bilingual in Japanese and English
I'm Honoha. A Japanese person! You may recognize me from the podcast. Although I'm fully Japanese, I've spent considerable time abroad and dated seriously on both sides of the pond. I know how complex and bewildering Japanese dating culture and interpersonal relationships can be for foreigners. It's another world.
B and I have discussed and analyzed and interviewed for months on end to create an incredibly informative, accurate, and actionable course to get you up to speed many times faster than you would on your own (through hapless trial and error).
Testimonials
What People Say About GoGen's Content & Coaching
"Without B and GoGen's advice, I would have never met my Japanese fiancée! I had failed date after failed date... ghosting, 1st, 2nd, and even 3rd dates that led to nowhere. Even after kokuhaku, failures that went nowhere! Getting access to B and GoGen's knowledge and experience changed everything for me."
"This was incredible! I've learned more from GoGen about Japanese dating culture than I learned from months of dating! Failure has turned to success! I wish I had learned about GoGen sooner."
"The structure and design of this course is simply amazing. It makes it easy to internalize the Japanese and the cultural insights that go with it. Totally worth it!"
These reviews reflect experiences with GoGen's free content (podcast, YouTube) and private consultations. The new course is in pre‑sale; individual results vary.
How do the Weekly Live Q&A sessions work?
During January and February, founding members get 4 weekly live Q&A sessions with B (and occasional appearances by our Japanese team). Bring your real dating situations, app profiles, or message screenshots for personalized feedback.
Can't make it live? No problem—you'll have access to the community where you can ask questions anytime, and B is active weekly responding to posts.
What Japanese level do I need?
None! This course is designed for complete beginners to Japanese. We focus 75% on culture and 25% on language—you'll learn the essential dating phrases and cultural concepts regardless of your starting point.
Already speak some Japanese? Even better. You'll learn the nuanced, contextual usage that textbooks never teach.
Will this work if I'm not in Japan yet?
Absolutely. This course works for:
- Men planning to move to Japan (get a head start)
- Men currently in Japan
- Men dating Japanese women in their home country
- Men interested in Japanese women anywhere in the world
The cultural principles apply universally—you'll just adapt the context.
What's the refund policy?
30-day money-back guarantee from time of purchase. No questions asked.
Why is the founding member price so low?
We're rewarding early believers. At $48, you're getting lifetime access to a course that will be $97 after launch. You also get exclusive founding member bonuses like live Q&As during launch month that regular students won't receive.
This is a true pre-sale—we're still finalizing content based on founding member feedback.
How is this different from free YouTube content?
Our free content (podcast, YouTube) gives you pieces of the puzzle. This course gives you the complete system in the right order, with:
- 14 structured modules (not scattered tips)
- Specific strategies for each dating stage
- Live feedback on your actual situations
- Community of men going through the same journey
What if I have questions between modules?
You'll have access to the founding members-only Kajabi community where B is active weekly. Post questions, share experiences, and get feedback from both B and other students going through the process.
Is this only for dating apps or real-life too?
Both! While we cover app-specific strategies (Pairs, Tapple, Bumble), the core cultural principles apply everywhere—meeting women through friends, at bars, language exchanges, work, wherever.
Dating apps are just the easiest, most systematic way to meet people in the dating/relationship context.
Will my access to the course end?
You receive lifetime access. Watch modules as many times as you want. You'll also get all future updates we make to the course at no additional cost. Version 1.0 becomes 2.0 becomes 3.0—you get it all.
What if I'm shy/introverted?
Perfect. Japanese dating culture is actually built for introverts. The structured, rule-based approach (kokuhaku system, formalized dates) means you don't need to rely on social instinct as much as in Western dating.
Many of our most successful students describe themselves as shy—Japan rewards planning and thoughtfulness over spontaneous charm.
