judging from the format in your sample, you need to cast to_datetime first, with kwargs dayfirst=True and utc=True (to correctly describe the input). you can then tz_convert to the appropriate time zone. Ex:

df['dateuno'] = pd.to_datetime(df['dateuno'], dayfirst=True, utc=True)
df['dateduo'] = pd.to_datetime(df['dateduo'], dayfirst=True, utc=True)
df['dateuno'] = df['dateuno'].dt.tz_convert('US/Eastern')
df['dateduo'] = df['dateduo'].dt.tz_convert('US/Eastern')
# df
# blah dateuno dateduo
# 0 a 2020年06月29日 09:27:00-04:00 2020年06月29日 13:44:00-04:00
# 1 b 2020年05月19日 07:15:00-04:00 2020年05月19日 15:25:00-04:00
# 2 c 2020年06月08日 07:50:00-04:00 2020年06月08日 15:51:00-04:00
# 3 d 2020年06月09日 07:37:00-04:00 2020年06月09日 15:38:00-04:00
# 4 e 2020年07月20日 07:44:00-04:00 2020年07月20日 15:47:00-04:00
# 5 f 2020年07月21日 07:02:00-04:00 2020年07月21日 15:08:00-04:00
# 6 g 2020年07月23日 07:01:00-04:00 2020年07月23日 15:05:00-04:00
