That was a little, I added a little, little taste in it.
Little taste for it because, uh, I, you know, when we were talking about the last episode,
we were like, let's add a little taste.
And then at the honban, I got a little scared.
Yeah.
And then I took baby steps.
I just a little bit of like, yeah.
I felt the neurons.
Little bit.
Okay.
Okay.
So here we go.
Today we've got a message from, uh, from Marina-san.

O futari wa dono yona naraigoto wo sareteimashita ka?
Mata yaritakatta naraigoto wa arimasuka?
Katatte itadakemashita ra ureshii desu.
Mmm.
I think the um, the naraigoto is a little... it's similar but not exactly the same.
I don't think you know the um, in the US at least, you know, you wouldn't have, you know,
like four, what she said, like four or five different like naraigotos, like it's not that.
It's at most like two maybe.
Yeah.
Like maximum two.
Yeah, like tennis and gymnastics.
Yeah.
Something like that.
Yeah.
It's not so like extreme too.
03:02
Like it's not so much honki as well.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's more like, let's move your body kind of style.
Let's have fun kind of style.
Club, enjoy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like an enjoyment club, activity club or stuff like that.
Yeah.
So it's not, that's a little, that's a little different.
But we, right, those naraigotos, we do it after school, you know, and then it's, you
pay extra money to join.
Yeah.
So those kinds of things are similar.
And the parents want to like, you know, tooshi to their kids, right?
And make them, you know, get their maximum potential out there.
Yeah.
So in that aspect, that's similar.
Okay.
But the activity itself is not that serious.
Nope.
Just go and enjoy it.
Yeah.
So not something like kind of invest and be a professional player.
Yeah.
Well, some parents are like that, but you know, I don't think so.
Majority of them are just like opening yourself up to new things and like find your passion
or find your joy or go have fun or things like that.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Well, that's also important.
Yeah.
Compared to that in Japan, it's more like serious one.
It's more like you have to be, you have to do it.
This is for your future.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I did swimming.
Okay.
Swimming.
Swimming.
Piano lessons.
Piano lessons.
Really?
Oh, yeah.
Uh, that's it.
Okay.
Tennis.
Tennis.
Yeah.
So in the United States, that was in Japan.
That was in Japan.
The piano and swimming was in Japan.
It was in Japan.
The tennis was in the US.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Hmm.
It was for a very short time though.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because that was only when you were in Japan.
Yeah.
You moved.
Yeah.
You backed.
Exactly.
Okay.
And also it didn't last.
Like I was, I didn't, it did not show a potential.
Especially piano.
Oh, really?
Swimming I was okay.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I was okay with the tennis, but like it wasn't fun.
Swimming?
Yeah, for me.
In the piano, I just didn't have the talent to do it.
Did I tell you that my mother was a cho-ri-tsu-shi?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So she had good ears.
I think she had zettai onkan.
Because the teacher would be like, what is this note?
Like ding.
Yeah.
And then my mother would whisper into my ear like, that's a D.
Yeah.
And then I would raise my hand.
That's a D.
See, I don't know if that's a, if that's an educational thing.
If my mother tells me the answer for everything.
But that's what happened.
Like, that's a D.
06:00
D desu.
Zettai.
Okay.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Tennis and swimming in the piano.
Yeah.
What did you do man?
I did swimming.
Uh huh.
Hmm.
How about like, what, asoroban?
Yeah.
No, I didn't.
No, you didn't do soroban?
Yeah, that's a major one in Japan.
Yeah.
I don't know recently, but.
Uh huh.
Swimming.
Uh.
Football and futosaru.
Oh, wow.
Very similar.
It's different.
It's different, right?
Of course, they're different, yes.
Yes, respect.
But, in piano.
Uh huh.
But it wasn't that long.
Okay.
That was only when I was shouyaku roku nensei.
Uh huh.
One year.
Did you suck like me?
Oh.
In piano.
I liked the piano.
Oh yeah?
I really enjoyed that.
Uh huh.
But when I entered the junior high, you know, my football class, I was like, I don't know,
I don't know.
I don't know.
But when I entered the junior high, you know, my football club was so busy.
Oh, I hadn't enough time to practice and go to the piano lessons.
Yeah.
So I stopped it.
And after that, juku of course, when I was junior high.
That's huge.
Yeah, that's huge.
But that's all, I guess.
Is there anything you wanted to do, looking back at it now?
Hmm, like more piano lessons.
Yeah, now you're a music guy.
So yeah.
Or like, um, what about you?
Do you have anything?
Sorban?
Oh, I wish I learned the sorban.
Because I kind of suck at like, calculating stuff on my head.
Well, yeah.
Yeah.
So I wish I, if I, I'm like, maybe this would have changed if I learned sorban.
Like people with sorban have so much skill of like, calculating things in their mind
and stuff like that.
I wish I had that skill.
Okay.
Don't you think so?
That's so convenient.
Yeah, I mean, that's, that's surprising and amazing.
Yeah.
That's great.
But I don't know, maybe it wouldn't have bloomed.
Maybe like, you know, the, the, the, the Sino, you know, but like, yeah, I mean, worth a shot.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What about programming schools?
Oh, recently, huge, you know, programming, huh?
I, um, when I was, um, like, I think elementary or something, I actually like, um, taught myself
how to do programming.
Oh, elementary school?
09:00
Yeah.
By yourself?
Yeah.
Oh, really?
I, in, so that was me in the US, but in Japan there was a drama called like Bloody Monday.
Okay.
Which was, uh, uh, Miura Harumashuen.
It was, uh, uh, it was about a hacker.
Okay.
Yeah.
It was like a hacker saving Japan.
Oh, saving Japan.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And it was so like, for me, it was like, so cool.
I was like, Oh, I'm going to be a hacker.
And then like, I just taught myself how to do like hacking and stuff like that.
And that's when I got really like, who I see with that, with all the programming stuff.
Wow.
But I actually got to like, like get into like people's computers.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
And then like, like steal something and stuff like that.
Well, really?
Yeah.
I mean, it's, it's hacking.
So it's, Oh, it means it's not like I did it to a friend's computer.
Like I got, it's like a prank of like, you can't close this file.
The window will like continuously open forever kind of prank.
Oh, okay.
I did it on him.
Like my friend was in my middle school.
Okay.
So it wasn't like a crime.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Wow.
That's cool.
Yeah.
What language is that?
I mean, it's a, I used a command prop.
Okay.
I don't know what language it is, but it's a, on Windows, there's a thing called command
prop.
Okay.
And then you can like, you just search your PC using command props words.
Oh, so I guess command prop.
Okay.
Yeah.
Wow.
So you're the hacker.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So cute.
Cute, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I remember when I see some movies, like 007, then after that, you're going to be a
spy.
Yeah.
I always try to hide.
And like from the enemies.
Yeah.
And suddenly trying to see my desk on the desk and make sure there's nothing.
No bomb or anything like that.
And after that, go to the convenience store and like, see, there's no enemy behind me.
Stop behind the shelf.
Yeah.
Right before when you go in the aisle.
Like this.
Yeah.
That happens.
That's so cute.
Yeah.
Yeah.
True.
Yeah.
Oh, and I also did hippo.
Oh, yeah.
It's not an Aigoto, but yeah.
But you did that from when you were very little.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
