‘Ooh, You Smell Like the Nineties’: Time to Come Back to the Future!

In this episode…A single sniff can undo decades, revealing that scent is less about fragrance and more about memory, ego, and the people we once were.From neon-lit Tokyo bars to late-night train rides, nostalgia drapes itself in cologne, posture, and the ghosts of ambition past.In these fushigi times, looking back is not mere reflection but an act of survival, a reckoning with the selves we carry and the people close to us now.Credits…Creator / Writer / Presenter: Angelino SchintuProduced, Recorded & Engineered at: Fushigi Labs TokyoOpening & Closing Voice / Audio Production: Thomas KinkaidTheme Music: Original composition Fushigi by Andrew P PartingtonAngelino Schintu is a veteran journalist, broadcaster, and filmmaker based in Japan.
