This is from
Hiroko-san, Hiroko-san. Thank you. Thank you. Kevin-san, Yama-chan-san, Konbanwa, Hiroko desu. Konbanwa. Konnichiwa.
Thank you. Thank you. So, my husband. My hubby has a habit of judging people's personality.
Your what?
My hubby or husband. Okay, got it.
He has a habit of judging people's personality.
Okay, it's interesting that it's often correct.
The most important thing was that he kept saying to the TV that he doesn't accept the fact that a very popular talent is not human.
A few years later, the talent caused a big scandal and it disappeared from the TV.
Wow.
Wow.
So this time, he decided to judge the people of KER.
Oh, yeah. Wow. Let's go.
You gotta be careful.
All right. If not, I'm good. I'm good.
Let's do this.
He said this, but please don't take it personally.
Okay.
Just watch TikTok.
So the first section is TikTok and the second section is YouTube.
Got it.
So the TikTok videos.
About Kevin-san.
Okay.
This person is a normal person?
He's a person who moves his hand when he talks. Is he normal?
He has a firm opinion and says it clearly.
Actually, he's a nekura?
He's a descendant of Jiro.
Descendant of Jiro?
What is that?
What is that?
Is that a name?
I don't know.
Descendant of Jiro.
Descendant of Jiro.
This is the guy.
Okay. Okay.
Descendant of Jiro.
He's serious, quiet, and honestly wears a mask about Kage-chan.
But he's nervous because he's being pressured by Kevin.
That's a TikTok video.
03:01
Okay. Okay. All right.
What do you think about that?
Definitely with the pressuring part. Yeah.
He's pretty nervous.
Every time.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's nearly shaking.
Yeah.
Yeah, the pressure.
So, I think you got that right.
All right. This is the YouTube videos.
This is YouTube.
Just by looking at the video, everyone is very unique.
Everyone has their own unique characteristics.
Especially, Yama-chan is strong.
He has a high sense of pride.
Why isn't he in the middle?
He should be in the middle.
Compared to the take down.
Yeah.
But Kage-chan is more quiet than on TikTok.
But he's relaxed because Yama-chan is here.
Because he's always being pressured by Kevin.
He's free because Yama-chan is holding Kevin.
But I don't know how long it will last even if Kage-chan and Yama-chan are active alone.
Because Kevin is the center of attention.
In terms of strength,
1. Yama-chan 2. Kevin 3. Kage-chan
But the most popular girl is Kage-chan.
In the second half of the video, Kevin's hand started moving.
He was saying that he was relieved of his tension.
How was it? Did you get it right?
For him, it's just a calculation of his own data and based on his own experience.
It doesn't matter if it's English or Japanese, the impression doesn't change at all.
It's strange.
But don't be fooled.
By the way, he said that I'm as cute as I always am.
What?
I don't know how that was related right there.
What does...
That was a little...
Yeah, it's completely off track.
By the way, he said that I'm as cute as I always am.
Was that a little brag?
Right in the middle of the message?
Sorry for the long story.
It's still cold, so please be careful.
Bye for now.
Okay.
Thank you.
Okay, now that's very interesting right there.
Hiroko-san.
It's interesting that he can theorize all that just by looking at a video.
That's interesting.
That's interesting.
It makes me wonder what he's looking at.
It makes me wonder which video he's looking at.
Yeah, that's important.
Which point did he...
Which moment did he think that was going on?
Yeah.
It kind of depends on which video that he watched.
Right.
Because in the second half, Kevin moved his hands and started talking.
You know, it depends on the videos.
Like, right now, I'm guessing that the video he saw was one of those like...
06:04
What is the difference of the nuance between this word and this word?
Where it's like highly grammatical, highly educational kind of videos.
Where I'm using my brain more rather than using my spontaneous reaction thing.
Where if I'm more spontaneous, I use my hand more.
Where I'm more brain oriented, I don't.
Like eat something American, like jelly things, you know, move and facial expressions and everything.
Right.
So I'm guessing it's those videos.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's true.
So, I didn't know that Kake-chan is always getting pushed by Kevin's pressure in TikTok video shooting.
I didn't know about that.
Well, honestly...
Yeah, I'm pressuring him all the time.
I mean, honestly, I don't... we don't have pressure there.
Like, I don't...
This probably wouldn't have gone this far if there was pressure involved.
But I really kind of know that you are really good at acting.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, yeah.
And kind of you have... you have strong confidence on it.
Kind of you really like free when you're acting and kind of having fun.
It's true.
And you are kind of well experienced in those acting scenes.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm a former drama club member.
Yeah.
And really like you look lively when you do some acting, you know, scene.
But Kake-chan is not like... I guess he's not well experienced in that acting, you know, industry.
So maybe that's why, you know?
Maybe.
Or maybe it's this character on TikTok that I'm acting out.
It's where it's more highly American.
It's highly stereotypical.
Like loud, positive, smiley.
Moving your body.
Yeah, moving my hand, aggressive.
That's very stereotypical American that really clicks and very...
catches attention on TikTok where you have to do that on a platform like that where you can...
it's easily swipeable to skip to the next video.
So I wouldn't say that our personalities are really reflected on the videos on TikTok.
09:03
It's very acting based.
Yeah, it's based on the book.
Very scripted.
Yeah, extremely scripted.
So I don't know how much he knows that.
I don't know how much he knows that the videos on TikTok are scripted.
Maybe that might give it a different perspective, I feel like.
That's true.
Yeah.
Because when we see you on TikTok, it's kind of really different from what you are in real, usual life.
But he got the point where I'm like, nekura or something.
Oh yeah, yeah.
I agree.
Yeah, those are right.
I agree.
Yeah, I agree with this.
Yeah.
What about...
In YouTube videos, Kake-chan is being a little more relaxed.
Because, even though he's always being teased by Kevin on TikTok, on YouTube, with Yama-chan around,
Yama-chan is holding back Kevin, and Kake-chan is being released.
I don't know!
Am I doing that?
Are we doing that off there?
Like, do we have a subconscious, like, subconscious, like, push down of like,
"Oh, you're going to stay there."
Yeah.
But it's fun.
What is?
To, you know, hear those opinions.
But I'm kind of at least relieved that he didn't told me that he's not...
He's, you know, "This person is not looking at me. I won't accept that."
You know, those things.
I'm relieved.
Right, right.
Yeah.
Because he can see those things in me.
So, I was, you know, succeeded to hide those elements inside me, you know.
Okay, okay.
But you're just now admitting that you have this something inside of you that you're hiding.
Yeah.
Yeah, but I'm kind of really succeeding to, you know, hiding those things.
Yeah, you're doing a good job.
Yeah, thank you.
It is a...
I do feel like it's an interesting atmosphere we have on YouTube recording.
It's this...
Some kikakus are half scripted sometimes, right?
Most of them, they're non-scripted, but like the basics of like the...
12:00
How we're gonna land on it.
Like for example, like there's a...
There's parts of...
There's some videos that needs like a funny ending or like a satisfying ending, right?
So, we do kind of have to like keep that in mind.
Yeah.
Like there's always this like air of like, okay, who's going for what?
True.
Am I gonna say this or...
Yeah.
Okay, so he just said that.
So, I'm gonna have to react on that.
Yeah.
That's like...
That's a very like a special atmosphere.
Yeah.
I feel like.
Yeah.
Yeah.
True.
Yeah.
Especially like you and Kake-chan.
Mm-hmm.
Like basically you are the like the professional...
I mean English speaker.
Yeah.
Well, I don't know why you laughed there.
It's not professional.
I mean...
Yeah, the English guy.
Yeah, like the English guy, you know.
Yeah.
So, it's you that you tell, you know, who should telling the information, who's saying
the, you know, vital information in the videos.
But it's also Kake-chan who, you know...
Right.
Mainly...
Understands the perspective of the Japanese people.
Yeah, Japanese.
You know, asking you and...
Yeah.
Some questions and, you know, kind of do a sky things.
Mm-hmm.
So, you know, kind of...
Right.
I know there's a moment that, you know...
Who's going for this?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Who's gonna bring this topic up?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Am I gonna be the one for it or is Kake-chan gonna bring it up from the perspective of
the audience?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
True, true.
That's what I'm talking about.
Yeah.
Exactly.
True.
And I, you know, I don't have any response on that.
So I'm actually really free about that.
I've never actually felt that, you know, the kind of pressure or those, you know, moment
that much.
Yeah.
I kind of always like...
Chilled?
Yeah.
And say whatever I want.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I remember when we did like how Yamachan learns his language.
Yeah.
Like, it was more the spotlight was on you.
It was more like how you think and everything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I kind of felt very chilled.
Like, I felt like, okay, let's go with the flow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Say whatever that needs to be said.
Whatever that interests me, I'll say it.
That's what I feel.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you.
All right.
I'm sure that's over.
Okay, there we go.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
- Thank you. - Bye.
