And in the last episode...
Last episode I talked about... I think you talked about your favorite voice was Bradley Cooper.
Yeah.
And I agreed.
And I was like, "The way he talks is interesting."
I want to interview you so...
Yeah, but I was talking about a different person.
I figured it was someone else.
So I just wanted to clear that on the podcast.
It was Matthew McConaughey.
I was talking about Matthew McConaughey's interview videos and how he talks was interesting and how he uses a lot of onomatopoeias and metaphors.
Okay.
Yeah, so I just wanted to...
Completely different guy.
It was a completely different guy.
I'm sorry. It was a completely different guy.
So please don't go search, you know, Bradley Cooper's interview.
Yes, yes, yes. It's Matthew McConaughey.
Because Bradley will speak...
Normally.
Like usually.
Quite understandable English.
Okay.
So I've got a message from...
From...
From...
Um...
Uh, uh, uh, uh...
Okay.
Matthew-san.
Matthew-san.
Yes.
Thank you.
Matthew-san.
What?
Matthew-san.
Matthew-san.
What's wrong, man?
No.
Why are you laughing?
No, you just...
I always say that.
Yeah, you always say that.
I know.
That was weird.
Strange language.
That's weird.
Kevin-san, Yama-san, Kake-san.
Konnichiwa.
Konnichiwa.
Konnichiwa.
Konnichiwa.
That's a lot of...
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
My name is Matthew.
Yes.
I have a topic I want to discuss with Kevin-san, Yama-san, and I sent a DM.
Okay.
It's about the lyrics of "Watch" which is about a girl who became the girlfriend of another guy.
I did a podcast about lyrics analysis.
I was very impressed by the structure of the lyrics and the details of the girl's feelings.
03:00
However, I don't think there is a girl like this.
My first impression of the lyrics was that it was the fantasy of a man that I can't forget.
Can you say that again?
My first impression of the lyrics was that it was the fantasy of a man that I can't forget.
It was a fantasy.
It was an illusion.
If it was a woman who wrote this song, I would think, "Wow, there's a girl like that."
However, it's a song that a man wrote and a man sang.
So I think that's the only way.
In the case of women, there are still some love songs left, but if they've already moved on to the next love, they'll be happier and look back on him.
I think there are many people like that.
Okay.
So I have a question.
Is it a happy thing for a man to say that he still likes himself even after he broke up with his ex-girlfriend?
Okay.
I have a question.
Also, if there is anything that you think is a fantasy of a woman, please tell me.
Okay.
It's been a long time, but thank you for reading it to the end.
I would be happy if you could give me your opinion.
Mahuyasen's claim is that the lyrics are just a fantasy of the writer, which is male.
It's his fantasy of the female exes.
So the story of the lyrics is that the woman is a female and that woman broke up with a guy and is trying to move on to the next one, but still wants to be with her ex-boyfriend.
That's the lyrics, right?
Yeah, she moved on to the next one, but still wants to be with her ex-boyfriend.
But still, inside my heart, I might call you because I'm weak and everything, and I still kind of have feelings for you.
So that's the lyrics.
And Mahuyasen is saying that that's a fantasy.
Girls don't do that.
Yeah, that's a fairy tale from the boy's side.
Really?
That's what she says.
06:01
Because, you know, it's the guy who wrote this song.
True.
It's the guy who sings this song.
If it was like ladies who wrote or made this song, then Mahuyasen would agree.
But those songs were often made by guys.
Okay.
Before we argue about anything, I feel like I just want to say that this is artwork, right?
So there's going to be people that agree and there's going to be people that don't.
And the accuracy, like how accurate it is to the reality of the situation in real life love, doesn't have to be...
It's not obligated to be that relevant and accurate.
So it doesn't have to portray...
Lyrics don't have to portray real life situations.
It just has to resonate with people.
If people like it, then that's good.
That's art.
So, I don't want to criticize the song itself.
Of course.
Just because it's not accurate doesn't mean the song is bad.
Yeah, of course.
That's why I just wanted to get that down.
That's important.
Yeah.
So let's see if this situation is actually accurate or not in real life.
Right?
Yeah.
Huh.
Well, to me that's possible.
And I've heard those stories from some of my...
Colleagues?
Yeah, like lady friends.
So, I know that happens sometimes.
Hmm.
I agree with you.
Yeah.
I think that...
I don't think it's a fantasy of the songwriter.
The male songwriter.
Yeah.
I think it's possible.
True.
I mean, that's possible.
I know it's also said that ladies are every love "uwagaki".
Right.
So, don't remember the former loved one.
Right.
But the male are not like, you know, "betsu no".
They keep their memories.
Yeah, memories.
Right.
So, maybe that's the majority, maybe?
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Maybe the ladies don't remember their exes.
Right, right, right, right.
It's true.
But like this can be happen to some people.
09:04
Right.
If she's still...
Right.
If she still loves him.
Yeah.
Right?
But had to break up because of a certain situation or problem.
Yeah, like life changes.
Yeah.
Some reason.
It's possible.
I still think it's possible.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
But anyways, so the question number one.
Okay.
男性は元カノが別れた今でも自分のことを好きでいてくれているのは嬉しいですか?
Well, yeah.
Who doesn't, right?
Why would she want to be hated?
Yeah, but the reason why she is asking this question to us is Mafuyu-san maybe don't
you know, she would feel uncomfortable.
Oh, well, she wouldn't be like hating this situation, but you know, feel nothing maybe.
Yeah, I mean, nothing's perfect.
Okay.
I mean, you know, exes don't have to love me like, of course.
They, of course, they don't have to like, they can do whatever the fuck they want.
They can hate me.
They can have no feelings for me.
They love me.
Well, I mean, it's nice if they still love me, right?
Well, love me as in like like me.
Yeah, like as a person, of course.
And if she still like loves me as it like a like I want to get back together and really
desperate.
Well, then that's, well, that's like, that's, that's up to you now, right?
That's up to to the to me now, right?
To reject it or not.
Yeah.
So if you don't if you don't have the energy, if you have zero feelings for your ex, well,
then that's that gets a little mental sign out, right?
You don't have feelings for it.
He loves you back.
Yeah.
Not loves that she loves you.
You just you just have to say no.
Yeah, that's a little, you know, it's a little like, yeah, awkward, right?
Always saying no is always awkward.
So that's all.
That's it.
Yeah.
So the question number two.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Hmm.
12:15
I am.
There was one tech talk I related.
That's again.
So for the girls, you're never gonna find a boyfriend.
That's that treats like a princess.
And that loves your friends, loves the girlfriend's friends, loves your friends, but doesn't get
attracted to them.
Okay.
And loves your mother.
Yeah.
Loves it.
And then cause your mother every weekend.
Yeah.
No one is like that.
So the ladies believe that guys exist.
Yes.
Well, that's impossible.
That's impossible.
Exactly what's impossible.
If you were that attractive and kind guy, then your friend will like it.
Like everybody likes him.
Yeah.
So it's impossible.
Yeah.
I mean, that kind person is impossible.
Are exist.
Like those attractive enough guys are, you know, existing in like everywhere.
But that means everybody likes him.
Yeah.
So that.
Exactly.
Yeah, that's impossible.
That's impossible.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is that what they believe?
That's what they, that's what the tech talk says.
That that girls believe that they exist.
But I guess that's more of an American kind of.
Okay.
That was a US tech talk.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It doesn't exist.
Right?
Yeah.
That's a fantasy.
That's a fantasy.
Yeah.
Be real.
Uh, oh, yeah, that's that's a lot of.
Yeah.
Share it.
Talked a lot.
All right.
Okay.
I hope we answered all the questions.
Yeah.
Did we?
Yeah.
All right.
