Yeah.
When I opened this message, there was some heart flying around and...
Really?
Yeah.
It moves?
Yeah.
It's like a little move but when I first opened, like, hearts were like moving and flying around.
Mm-hmm.
I didn't know this feature.
I didn't know that too.
Maybe it's because you hearted it?
Did you heart it?
No, it's not me who did it.
Oh, it was already like this?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Whoa.
How did that happen?
I don't know.
You can!
I know for a fact that you can change the background.
Background?
Yeah, just like line.
Yeah.
You can use background picture, right?
Mm-hmm.
You can do that on Instagram too, DM too.
But I've never seen that heart movie thingy.
I've never before.
I've never seen it.
It's cute.
Yeah, it's cute.
Yeah.
Okay.
So it's from Nimia-san.
Nimia-san.
Thank you.
Hello, Yamachan-san, Kevin-san.
Hello.
I'm Nimia.
Hello.
I know it's sudden, but have you two applied for an award and won something?
Oh.
My brother has won an award for a magazine and won a trip to Hawaii.
Whoa.
Wow.
I've only won an apron with an octopus picture on my chest a long time ago.
I think it was something you could get when you sent a barcode of seasoning.
I've applied for a lot of campaigns for things like yogurt, natto, chocolate, and other things I eat, but I've never won anything.
If you have any stories about winning something, please tell me.
03:00
I'd like to apply for a lottery ticket to meet the people in Kevin's English Room.
Aw.
Thank you.
That's sweet.
Thank you.
Chusenken?
I've...
Is that it for the message?
Yeah, kenshou.
Oh, got it.
Yeah, yeah.
Kenshou?
Uh, actually, there was one.
Mm.
I think it was during, like, first year of university, second year of university, I wanted a Prius.
So Prius.
What?
Prius.
The car?
Yeah, the Prius car.
Okay.
Yeah.
So I went online and searched for, like, Prius.
Ataru.
What?
Something like that.
And I found one.
I actually found one.
Really?
Yeah, and I applied for it, like, every day.
What was that?
What do you mean?
I mean, you need to buy something for that?
No, it was something like, you gotta apply for it, that's all.
You gotta sign up for it, and then you gotta, like, click the button every day, and then you...
You gotta click button every day?
Yeah, it was something like that.
You gotta click this button every day to, like, Oboe for it, something like that.
Yeah, it wasn't something...
It wasn't like you have to buy this every day.
It was more like, you gotta click it, like that.
So you need to share some information?
No, you don't.
You just need to click it.
Yeah, I think it was just like, you just have to, like, click this.
Why?
Why did they do that, then?
Maybe it was a survey?
Maybe it was a...
But I don't know.
It was...
It was a system where I could do it continuously for, like, months.
But I forgot exactly how they did it.
But, um...
Never got it.
Never got that Parais.
Yep, never won, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So many people did that, I guess.
Probably.
'Cause it's free, and...
Yeah.
Everyone can do that?
Yeah, probably.
Hmm.
Um...
The only thing I've won is Haru no Panmatsuri.
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yamazaki.
Is that...
Is that...
Everyone can get that?
Oh, shit.
Everyone can get that?
Can everyone get that?
I guess so.
Oh, god.
If you...
If you correct all the, you know, stickers...
Oh.
Then...
Then you can get it.
You can get it?
Yes.
It's not like a lottery thing?
You just...
You don't have to win for it?
I guess so.
Oh, shit.
Oh, then I guess I didn't win for it, then.
I just, uh...
I got what I deserved.
Oh, man.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Oh, man.
I guess I haven't won anything, then.
Have you?
I have once did a...
Do you know, you know, when you fly it?
Yeah.
When you take airplane.
Yeah.
And if you're a little kid...
Yeah.
Without parents...
Okay.
06:00
Then there is some certain service, special service for you.
Oh, okay.
It's like, you know, flight or like, captain or...
I don't know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's some special service because I'm alone, completely alone without anything.
And there's some cabin crew, cabin attendant crew is, you know, always care about me, you
know, take care of me.
And that happened to me when I was a little kid and...
Like, how old were you?
Do you remember?
Like, elementary school, like, second.
Second year?
No, I guess that's real.
You were in the second grade and you got in on a plane alone?
Yeah, but it was like domestic flight to Hokkaido.
Oh, still though.
You were like second year, you went to the airport by yourself?
No.
You went through the gates and you got on a plane?
No, no.
I...
With my family until, you know, the gate.
It was just only inside only.
Got it.
Well, I guess so.
I don't remember.
But...
All right.
And there are some campaign that I can apply which was, you know, for Beyblade.
It was ANA, but ANA Beyblade special.
And I've got that.
Oh!
I've got like one...
Like, I guess four or six Beyblade.
That's a lot of Beyblade.
Which was all the same.
Same yellow ANA.
How do you get all six same Beyblades?
I got six same Beyblade in the box and I've got that one.
So you won six times?
Is that what...
No, that was one.
Oh, so...
One...
What?
I don't know why they sent me like six same exact Beyblade, but...
Yeah.
Oh.
I've got...
Did you like Beyblades back then?
Yeah.
That's good.
I did enjoy them.
Right?
That's why I applied to the Beyblade.
Oh, okay, okay.
Well, that's fun.
Yeah, I was happy.
Is that like a...
Is that like a real...
Is that like a real lottery?
Yeah, it was real lottery.
Is it...
Or are they just doing it to make you happy?
Maybe that can happen, but that was, you know, some bigger campaign than Kodomo Captain thing.
It is bigger than...
It was whole ANA campaign.
Got it, got it.
So it looked legit.
Yeah, I guess...
Yeah.
Got it.
Oh, that's good.
That's cool.
Yeah, I was happy.
Yeah.
But that's the only...
Only one occasion that I applied to any of those Ken-sho things.
Like, you know, when you go to like a shopping mall, sometimes they do this, like, if you collect your tickets from like...
Like, you know, when you shop at a store in a mall, like, they give you this like Chusen Ken tickets.
09:02
And if you collect like five or seven, ten, you can go to like...
You can go...
What do you call those?
Like, gotta-gotta-gotta-gotta shit.
And then like you do that and then you can win something.
Do you do that?
Do you enjoy doing that or do you go for it or no?
Like, if I can get that ticket...
Yeah.
Within like one day for sure and I can go to the gotta-gotta place on that same day, I would do that maybe.
But basically, I don't go.
I just go away.
It's not...
You wouldn't really like reschedule a visit again, right?
No.
To join that campaign.
Do you like that?
No, I don't do that.
I actually don't.
Nor do I do like point cards and stuff like that.
I don't...
I actually don't own any point cards.
The only...
Oh, T-Point is the only one I have.
That's it.
Yeah.
Same here.
I don't like...
I mean, it's really lazy to me to...
Yeah.
You know, think about those and...
Right, right, right, right, right.
It's...
Your wallet gets packed with cards.
It's just a forever game, I feel like.
And I just stopped doing it.
But I have some.
Like, I have coffee ticket.
Which is, I often go.
And if I go there 10 times, then I can get one free beans.
Okay.
Oh, is it Starbucks?
No, it's a Tally's.
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
You know, Starbucks has a similar campaign too, you know.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Oh, then, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, that's, you know, something that I visit there in, you know, anyways.
So, I have that card.
Wait, do you like Tally's over more than Starbucks?
Do you?
I just want to clarify.
Do you?
Like...
If you had a Tally's and a Starbucks right next to each other...
Yeah.
You would go to Tally's?
I mean, if I go there and stay there inside the shop and have time to, like, read books
or work, then I would prefer...
Depends on the shop, you know.
Oh, depends on the shop?
Yeah, if it's...
With the employees and how crowded they are?
Yeah, at the end, you know, and furnitures and inside.
The interiors.
Yeah, interiors.
If it's roomy or not.
Okay.
But basically, in that case, I would choose Starbucks.
Oh, okay.
Because, you know, it's more comfortable inside, usually.
They, you know, furnitures in the room, places.
12:00
They got better comfortable seats.
Yeah.
But, you know, I don't...
I just buy beans.
I go there and buy beans and get back to my place and...
So it doesn't matter.
Yeah.
Right.
And I...
Recently, I prefer Tally's beans.
Well, it's fair.
It's fair.
Yeah, so...
Preference?
Yeah, that's preference.
All right.
All right.
It's 12 minutes.
Yep.
Thanks for listening, guys.
