Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Wow, it's been two weeks.
Yeah.
I feel like it's been a while.
Yeah, I think it has been a while, right?
Yeah, yeah.
So we had a "koukai shūroku."
Right, last time we met, it was a "koukai shūroku."
Right.
"Otsukaresama deshita."
"Otsukaresama deshita."

So we did some short "furikaeru," recap.
Yeah, we did some recaps.
Yeah, we did that.
Nice jacket, by the way.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, I like that.
Thank you.
It's foldable into a little pocket.
Yeah.
Pocket-sized jacket, right?
No?
You can fold it and then put it in that little zipper, right?
Oh.
That's what it's for, right?
No?
Maybe.
I thought it was just some kind of pocket.
Check the inside of it.
Is there a logo?
Like a Nike logo inside?
If there is, I'm sure it's...
It's a...
All right, maybe not.
Yeah, maybe not.
Okay, maybe not.
Yep.
Yeah, but maybe I just can put everything in it and...
Yeah?
Yeah.
And then fold it into like a little pouch?
Yeah.
Maybe like this?
Yeah, like a small hand-sized...
Well, that's great.
I didn't...
Never thought of that.
Yeah.
But that's great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Love your style, too.
Thank you.
Yeah, it's a new one, right?
Yes.
That's where I bought it.
Yeah.
As a Muji Lucy.
You're right.
Oh, yeah.
With the gift card that you and Sugi-san gave me.
Thank you for that again.
Yeah.
I bought this...
I don't know what you call this, but like a...
A tsude no?
Yeah, it's like a...
A bit like sweat?
Yeah, kind of a sweat-to.
Yeah.
And two hoodies.
Oh, great.
And...
Yeah.
Oh, that's great.
Thank you.
Happy to hear that.
I'm enjoying it.

How was your week, man?
Oh, that was...
Yeah.
I went to the Bruno Mars concert.
What?
Yeah.
You went to the Bruno Mars concert?
You went to the Bruno Mars concert?
I went to the Bruno Mars concert.
So, you were able to get a ticket?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
You know, I tried to get the ticket through the, you know, like the authentic way, the
official way.
Yeah.
I missed everything, so I couldn't get a ticket.
So, there are, you know, some places called, like they exchange the tickets.
Okay.
Like some people, you know, get ticket fortunately, but unfortunately they got sick or...
They couldn't come.
Okay.
You know, something.
I see.
And then, like resale, so the tickets.
Right.
So, I went those places and then got a ticket.
03:02
Got it.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yes.
Where was it?
It was Tokyo Dome.
Tokyo Dome.
Okay.
Brilliant.
Great.
Great.
So, it wasn't so sonic?
No.
It was just Bruno Mars.
It was just Bruno Mars.
Yes.
Okay.
Yes.
Bruno Mars with, you know, the hooligans, you know, the all...
Yeah.
They were so amazing.
Oh.
Bruno was...
So, I got a ticket.
It was like BIP S-seki.
Ooh.
It was the second closest one.
Okay.
Wow.
Yeah.
So, it was, you know, obviously expensive.
But, you know, it's just Bruno came to Japan.
Yeah.
He's my idol.
So, it's just...
Worth it.
Yeah.
It's worth it.
It's much cheaper than I go to the United States and...
Right.
That's true.
And see the show.
It's like a lifetime experience.
So, I just spent, you know...
And then, yeah, when the end of Bruno was like this big.
Still.
Still, you know, that big.
Still very, very...
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like this big.
And yeah, but...
But bigger than what you saw last time, right?
Yeah.
Last time was like...
Like that big.
Christ.
Yeah.
And yeah.
The audio quality wasn't that bad.
Oh, okay.
It was good.
But not that good.
I mean, not very, very good.
Okay.
Obviously, it was in a Tokyo Dome.
So, a bit like Hankyo.
Okay.
All that whole places.
But I was close like this.
So, the audio wasn't that bad.
I could...
I was able to like hear his...
Like the vocal controls and tiny little things.
Tiny, you know, voices and everything.
So, yeah, that was great.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
Wow.
What did he sing?
Almost everything.
Every popular one out there?
Like the...
One amazing thing about him was it was like 15 songs in a show.
And like every single song was like the number one hit songs.
Like he sang "Just the Way You Are."
And then he sang like "The Grenade."
Yeah.
And then after that, "When I Was Your Man."
Like every songs were like the songs that everybody knows.
The hits.
The hit songs.
Yeah.
He's got so many hit songs.
Right.
There were no time for us to like rest and...
I don't know this song.
Let's just chill.
Right, right.
Every song was, you know, like, "Oh, this song!"
And "Oh, this song!"
So...
Wow.
We had no time to rest.
So you were like excited the whole time.
Yeah.
Wow.
Dang.
It was so nice.
06:00
Did he dance?
Yeah.
Oh.
He's really good at dancing, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah.
We know...
I mean, I know he was good at singing, of course.
Yeah.
But dancing was...
Right.
Yeah.
That was...
Amazing, right?
Yeah.
He was like so quick.
Yeah.
So...
Like so kira kira.
Yeah.
He was so amazing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He was so quick and I...
Sometimes I see him like two Bruno Mars at the same time.
Like...
So fast.
Like so fast.
And four arms at the same time.
Yeah.
I don't know what's going on with that move.
Yeah.
What was your most memorable performance?
So one moment he was with the band.
Yes.
The old drummer.
Yes.
And all the bands.
But there was one moment all the bands were gone.
Okay.
And he was just sitting just behind the piano and he just played the piano and just sang
just, you know, like a classic way.
Okay.
Okay.
And then he did some covers.
Yeah.
Like...
Yeah.
Some songs.
And then...
Wow.
Wow.
How nice.
Yeah.
Like I feel, you know, the respect to Japan.
And I love that performance.
Yeah.
And then after that he said like, "Kawaii."
He did like this.
"Kawaii."
And then after that, you know, "Kawaii" is something like, okay.
He learned something like that in Japan.
Yeah.
I understand that.
And then just after that he did like, "Kun desu."
"Kun desu."
"Kawaii."
Yeah.
Okay, Bruno.
But...
Where did he get that?
Where did you get that?
I guess some translator that was with him.
Bruno was like, "Any trending Japanese..."
And somebody taught him.
"Kun desu" is like this young kind of...
And he did that and everybody was like, "Yah!"
That was funny.
So nice.
Yeah.
The Japanese crowd.
So nice.
I was like, "What?"
Yeah.
It was a funny moment.
It's so nice of him to...
09:00
Yeah.
You know, sing in Japanese and do all that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Is he on tour?
Like a worldwide tour?
So I feel like the visit to Japan was so spontaneous.
Yeah.
It was a sudden, like surprising tour.
Yeah.
But he went to Australia, I guess.
Oh, okay.
So he came to Australia and did some shows and then came to Japan and go back to the United States.
Oh, okay, okay.
So it wasn't like a round the world kind of thing.
Yeah, just came to...
I don't know.
Nobody knows the reason.
Why he came to Japan.
Yeah.
Maybe he just liked Japan?
Maybe he just wanted to come to Japan and wanted to have some trip to Japan.
Yeah, Kyoto or something.
Yeah, maybe.
Because there were no like new songs out or new CD released.
Oh, right, right, right.
That's true.
Yeah.
Why would...
Yeah.
Did he do a performance in Osaka or Kanto area?
Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
Did Osaka Kyocera Dome two days or one days and then came to Tokyo Dome.
Okay, so Kanto and then Kanto.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So yeah, I was just mainly in Japan and then returned to his home.
So he's back in the US now?
Yeah, now.
Yeah.
Oh, I wonder why.
Yeah.
Yeah, but when he was in Osaka, you know, he obviously stays in a hotel, some hotel and
in a bar of that hotel, after the show, he returned to the hotel and went to the bar
and had some drinks and performed suddenly like there were like public... it was just
hotel bar.
Oh my God.
So some crowds were there.
Yeah.
And people was, what?
Bruno came in and he just started drinking and then what?
And then suddenly he just stopped performing to the crowd.
I mean, not crowd, it's not a huge bar.
Yeah.
In a bar and had some after show party, things like that.
Wow.
Yeah.
I got to see a video of that.
Oh really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I haven't seen it yet, but like...
