Nice.
Alright, let's go.
Thank you.
Are you okay?
I don't know.
It was a, that was a take two, right?
Yeah.
I don't know.
I just, I don't know.
It just, it didn't, it didn't come to me on the first recording.
Like I felt like something was missing on the ad.
And right now, so we did it again but it still feels kind of fuzzy.
Oh really?
I did just okay, right?
I guess so.
You did, you said everything we need.
Right.
So.
Done it?
Yeah.
Uh huh.
Did it perfectly.
That's good.
Yeah.
That's good.
Okay.
Right.
Okay.
Okay, let's do this Yamachan.
Yeah.
Another day.
Yeah, another day.
Yes, another recording day.
It's always good days.
I know.
It's always sunny days.
I know.
Yeah.
It's really good.
Sorry you had to see the underwear there.
Oh really?
Yeah.
Pile of.
Oh.
Yeah, it's just.
Yeah, from this angle, you know, I can see nothing.
Not visible?
Only the blue sky, so.
Got it, got it.
If you just go a little higher.
You like that angle, that's better.
Can't see the underwear, okay.
It's only the beautiful things.
Okay.
So, uh, we've got a message from Naoko-san today.
Naoko-san.
Thank you Naoko-san.
Thank you.
Hello Kevin-san, Yamachan-san.
Hello.
This is Naoko who asked why you don't have any cavities or why you don't get fat.
Thank you.
Is that your natural?
Thank you.
Yeah, that was my natural.
Thank you.
I always say that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I don't always understand your conversation 100% but I guess to keep your teeth clean
you take a brush, a floss, and a mouthwash.
Oh yeah.
In order to not get fat, you ride your bike for 3 hours a week.
Pump up muscle.
Other than that, you go to the gym.
I understood that you got advice like that.
Is that true?
Well, not 100%.
03:00
Okay.
Yeah.
Basically.
Some of it was off.
But yeah, it's basically you just exercise.
Yeah, exercising and, you know.
The three steps.
The mouth care.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Sorry, I can't imitate you.
I'm still being trained hard.
I respect you two.
Okay.
So, I got an announcement message this time.
Okay.
I live in a country town in Osaka.
I went to the library the other day.
I thought I left Kevin's English Room's book there.
I looked it up and it was actually there.
Oh my god.
Wow.
Library?
Yeah.
And I borrowed it from a local town.
Wow.
It means that the local town in a country town is a popular book.
I'm happy to think that there are fans of KER in the same town.
Yeah, that's true.
Do you two use the library?
Do you have any books you like or recommend?
Thank you for taking it up.
By the way, I already read your books.
Thank you.
The last column was interesting.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Wow.
I didn't know that.
Really?
Wow.
In the library, right?
Library, yeah.
This is pretty crazy.
Yeah, it's very rare.
Unbelievable.
And it's kind of rare that "Yoyaku Juu-nin Machi" is kind of...
Is it rare?
Yeah, it means it's a popular book.
Wow.
Like a Christmas movie in Tsutaya during a Christmas season.
Yeah, it's kind of the same today.
Wow.
Wow.
It's actually the first time I've ever heard of an episode where it's actually being really
sold.
Yeah.
It was never really much of a reality for me.
Yeah.
So I'm pretty shocked.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, we've heard that this book has been republished.
Right.
Republished again?
Yeah.
Right?
I don't know what "Juu-han" in Japanese is, right?
Yeah.
I don't know if that is in English.
Yeah.
But...
But it's, you know, in the second time, right?
Right.
Second "Juu-han" is on now.
Mm-hmm.
Which is a congratulations, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thank you.
Another "Juu-han".
Another "Juu-han", yeah.
It's pretty good.
Yeah.
So that, you know, "Kono Toshokan de Juu-nin Machi"
Wow.
That I didn't...actually I didn't, you know, completely, you know, didn't know that.
Yeah, me too.
Like, you know, the, you know, published company told us that this is going to be a "Saijuu-han
ni narimasu".
But we were kind of, "Oh, really?"
All right.
That's...All right.
Yeah.
Yeah, "Oh, really?
Are you sure?
06:00
I've never..."
Yeah, okay.
Kind of.
Right.
We were a little bit skeptical, right?
Yeah, kind of.
Really?
We didn't know about that.
Like, really?
Yeah.
So maybe it's true.
Maybe it is true.
Yeah.
I thought all he was doing was trying to make us feel better.
Like...
Just to say so.
Just lie, right?
Oh, no.
Your book's selling well.
We got a "Juu-han", okay?
Don't worry.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's great.
Yeah.
But it's actually...
Wow.
Yeah.
It's popular.
I'm happy about that.
Yeah.
Wow.
All right.
We're so happy that now so many people know about, you know, difficult expressions.
Yeah, right.
How to use "fuck" in everything, right?
Yeah, the most complicated expressions in English.
Shit, fuck, bitch, ass.
Well, that's tough, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're happy about that.
All there.
It's all there.
Yeah.
So about books.
Books, yeah.
Right?
Definitely a question for you.
Yeah, man.
Right?
Favorite author?
What was the other question?
Well, mine's going to be very quick so I'll go first.
I don't read books.
Okay, you don't read books.
I have tried to read a book before, which is a Hankyu Densha.
Ah, yeah.
Novel, right?
Novel.
But I gave up on Midway after like, what, like 10 pages in?
Okay.
I think I gave up on it.
Too inefficient.
Okay.
Yeah.
Too inefficient.
It was really tough to go on.
Yeah, it's too much time, right?
Too much time to consume information.
Like a video format would have done it much more efficiently.
So I just gave up.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, I have, when I, I do sometimes use a library, but only because when I want to like really
sagyo.
Ah, not read books.
Not to read books, no.
Sit down and.
Sit down and study and stuff like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's, that's the only times I would use a library.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Basically it.
How about you?
I do use libraries.
Do you still go to the library and check stuff out?
Yeah.
I have some books actually.
Mm hmm.
I currently like.
Right now you have it with you?
Yeah.
From the library.
Got two books here.
What do we got here?
This is from library.
The library.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
Another library.
It's, it's written by Uchida Tatsuru-san.
They're both the same author?
09:01
Yeah.
Iki, iki, iki, ikizurasari tsuitekangai.
Yeah.
Sarukasuru sekai.
Yeah.
Wow.
So.
So is he famous?
Um, yeah, I guess so.
I'm not sure he's famous.
Oh.
But I like him at least.
And he's a really good, um, he's a educator.
Okay.
Not only, you know, writer, but.
Mm hmm.
And he's been working at university for a long time.
And he's now writing books and, um, also teaching some martial arts.
Wow.
Yeah.
Very unrelated I thought.
Yeah, but actually it's related to education.
Uh huh.
Got it.
So, you know, how to use your body, how to use, you know, how to control your mental.
Mm hmm.
So it's more related to, um, how to, you know, live your life.
Uh huh.
In that context.
Oh wow.
Yeah.
And then he's saying that, um, yeah, he's still kind of, um, trying to find the, you
know, um, another like alternative way from the, um, like crazy speed, Shihon Shugi world.
Mm hmm.
And trying to figure out which way, you know, human beings should go.
And that's, that's what he writes about.
Okay.
Mm hmm.
Wow.
But in a really like easy way.
Mm hmm.
So it's not kind of really difficult.
Okay.
You know, studying books.
Uh huh.
It's fun.
Is that what you're reading right now?
Is that the one you recommend?
Like, overall?
Uh, no.
What would be your recommendation?
Uh, if you want to read Uchida Tatsuro-san, um, um,
Machiba no Buntairon.
Is that the title of the book?
Yeah.
Written by him.
Yeah.
Mm hmm.
Or Machiba no Mediaron.
Mm hmm.
Or like, um, Chihon, I remember the exact title, but Chihon something was really nice.
Chihon Ijuu no Susume.
Chihon something by Uchida Tatsuro-san.
Mm hmm.
That was the, you know, uh, oh sorry.
Localism Sengen.
Localism Sengen.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's the one.
That would be some of the, um, uh, like a beginner's list.
Yeah.
12:00
For Uchida-san.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Localism Sengen.
Okay.
Alright, there you go.
Yeah.
Uh, I think that's 12 minutes.
Yeah, yeah.
So, cut it off.
Yep.
