Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Hello!
Still not like a...
Settled.
Your mic's not settled?
Yeah, like a...
We should do something about the fucking mic stand!
Yeah.
This is so unstable!
What is fucking wrong with this mic stand?
Yeah, but it's okay now. Like, it's stable now.
Okay, that's good. It's good.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, great.
Yeah, you...
Try to move it in a position that you'd like it to be.
It's...
And show us what it would... what happens.
Look at that!
What is it doing?
Come on!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
The bass was a little bit unstable.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Oh, just gonna go.
Alright.
Alright, here we go.
Okay.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Maybe we should get like a Ju-En or something?
You... did you try Ju-En? Did you already try Ju-En?
No.
In this bulk here?
Bulk.
I said bulk. I don't know why. This isn't bulk.
Oh, I forgot my wallet.
I think I have... I think I have mine.
I have a coin case.
Oh, thank you.
Got a coin case.
Got it.
So if I can...
Yeah.
Let's fix that.
Yeah.
Damn. Okay, I have a...
I have a...
Okay, great. Thank you.
I think this works.
Go in here.
Oh.
Does it fit?
Nah.
Alright, here. How about this?
It's a bit thick.
Nah.
You know what?
Nah, nah, nah.
Dude, dude. I have a... I have a...
Handy dandy.
What do you have?
We got ourselves a fucking handy dandy.
Oh.
Yeah.
Try that. Try that.
This is it.
So if this can...
Fix it.
Yeah, then this whole fucking shit is broken.
Yeah.
Oh.
What?
No.
I'm just trying to screw...
Yeah.
This "neji"
Now.
Tater, right?
It's...
It's not... It doesn't move?
Well, mine moves.
Mine moves.
Really?
Yeah.
It's already like a...
It's tight enough, right?
I get it.
And also, it doesn't...
Maybe it's a different bulb?
It's my bulb.
Oh.
I think...
Thank you.
No, see, that's a...
That screw is different.
No?
Yeah.
But I think it's...
You know, this...
Like a bar...
The neck, right?
Yeah.
It... This one...
So...
Is like a...
If you...
If you spin it...
Yeah.
This is stable.
Yeah.
03:00
This spins.
Look at this.
Right.
This is stable now.
Oh.
And that guy itself is...
That moves too?
Moving.
Oh, okay.
That's true.
So how do we fix that?
If we tighten this...
But this is already tight, right?
Yeah.
So it really doesn't do much.
It really doesn't do much.
Actually, mine's more tighter than yours.
So if you look at mine, this is stable.
This moves.
Oh.
But this...
I don't know how to tighten these two up.
So...
Yeah.
Game over, I guess?
Yeah, but I can...
Yeah.
God damn.
Well, I can talk and race like this.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
Thank you.
So this is going to be uploaded January 5th, I believe.
Okay.
Yeah.
But right now it's still December.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Towards the end of December.
Yeah.
For me, it's the last shigoto.
Oh, yeah.
Like KER.
Me too.
Shigoto Osame.
It's like, yeah, Shigoto Osame.
Me too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I made a...
Here's a big news, I mean, for me.
Oh, yeah.
What?
That I can share.
I made a radio debut yesterday.
You...
Oh, damn.
Last night.
I mean, this morning.
I mean, it was midnight.
Okay.
Yeah.
I was on Tokyo FM.
Shit.
That's like a big deal.
Yeah.
It's like a really big one through the...
Oh, shit.
Tell me about it.
Yeah.
What was that about?
Yeah.
You know Goto-san?
Yes.
We did a podcast.
Yeah.
Through Amazon.
But that podcast, Amazon's Goto-san's bangumi sadly ended.
And we actually had a conversation that, "Oh, it's really sad."
And I said, "I'm sorry."
We actually had a conversation that, "Oh, it's really sad."
And we want to do something different in some day.
Hopefully.
Yeah, it's sad.
It was like two weeks ago.
Okay.
Yeah.
And then a week ago, he just called me that, "Let's do it again."
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
And actually, he was invited as a guest of the radio show called Tokyo Speak Easy.
Okay.
What?
It's a radio show produced by Akimoto Yasushi-san.
Fuck.
Yeah, that's like the authentic one.
Uh-huh.
But he doesn't show up.
Okay.
It's like he just produced it.
The concept is made by Akimoto-san.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:00
Okay.
And so one guest is invited by Akimoto-san.
Okay.
And that guy invites one another guy.
I see.
And the show is like two guys just have a conversation.
Uh-huh.
And Speak Easy is like a kinshuhou jidai no bar is the concept.
Ah, I know.
Yeah.
It looks like a cafe, but it's actually a bar.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
So it's like listeners sneaking into the conversation, like in a bar sound, and just try to listen
to those two people's conversation.
Okay.
And it's like a big show.
So we just had conversation.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
So Goto-san chose me as a guest.
Okay.
Yeah, so it was last night.
It was last midnight.
Was it live?
Yeah.
Yeah, it was live.
Oh shit.
It was truly live.
It was fucking live?
Yeah, without any daihon.
Oh my God.
So it was just like the live show that we are doing every Monday night.
Uh-huh.
And one different thing was we had a CM.
Uh-huh.
So CM timing was kind of fixed.
So...
I see.
So like five seconds left.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, like they'll tell you.
Yeah.
Okay.
But it was completely live.
Wow.
And we couldn't like do any preparation.
It was just live.
Uh-huh.
So we just...
It was just like we, you know, go into some bar and just have a conversation.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Okay.
So I see.
The concept is that you guys are supposedly in a bar.
So there is no like, okay, we're going to talk about the 80s.
Nah.
Music or nothing like that.
It's just, hey, what's up?
Yeah.
How you doing?
Yeah.
Damn.
It's all on us.
That's a little scary.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it was exciting.
Uh-huh.
And you know, that director and lady was like, you know, I was a bit nervous about...
Right.
But it was live through radio to, you know, whole Japan.
Right.
And she was like...
And what?
So much trust on you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like that.
Uh-huh.
And yeah.
So it was fun.
But I didn't, you know...
Damn.
Say nothing.
You didn't say anything weird.
Ridiculous.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
But I...
So they played my song through the radio for the first time.
Well, congrats, man.
Yeah.
Congrats.
Finally, like my song, you know, on the radio.
Shit.
Through like whole Japan.
That must have been a moment for you.
Yeah.
It was so like touching moment.
09:02
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like historical moment to me.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
So can the people listen to the show on demand?
Yeah.
Somewhere?
Yeah.
It's like a radio.
I know that.
I know that.
Odi.
Odi.
Yeah.
So everybody can listen.
And the name of the show is...
Is that Tokyo Speak Easy.
I see.
All right.
It's from like a pro... provided by Tokyo FM.
Okay.
But it's through all the like Keiretsu netto.
I see.
Radio.
So, yeah.
I think everybody can go and check it and listen.
Shit.
Yeah.
It was...
Yeah.
It was quite a moment.
Yeah.
Any thoughts you have, you know, after, you know, it's been several hours, right?
You've done your first radio and your first song out there publicly on a radio.
Any thoughts?
You know, I've been, you know, listening to radios.
Yeah.
Like when I was like junior high, high school student listening to those music and, you
know, grow up.
So it's still like...
It's like one of my, you know, dreams came true.
Right.
Yeah.
So it's still like weird.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
Did you listen to it yourself?
Like when you...
Still not.
You haven't done it yet?
Yeah.
I was on the studio.
So...
I see.
I see.
Yeah.
But I got to listen to that again.
And yeah.
So like that, I thought they just play, you know, the first half of the song and like
a fade out, but actually they played whole song.
Wow.
And I didn't know that.
So I actually choose a bit long song.
It took like almost five minutes.
So apparently they play whole song.
But they were like...
Wow.
And yeah.
So happy.
So yeah.
Like a biggest moment, you know?
That's really great.
Yeah.
I'm so happy for you, man.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah.
You know, in studio, they are like, "Kafu?"
Oh, yeah.
You went to the Enetsuki radio, right?
Right.
Right.
Right.
So I think you have seen those on off things.
Yeah.
That was, you know, first time for seeing the Kafu.
So I just...
You know, overuse.
I used like four times during the show.
See.
Yeah.
You're trying to fix your throat, whatever you're saying.
I mean, I just wanted to do this.
Oh, you just wanted to skirt around with it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:00
So the director lady came to us and, "Do you use this Kafu?"
And Goto-san was, "No, it's kind of a thing.
I don't use it.
But I wanted to use it.
So let me do this."
Could you tell me how to use this?
And yeah, I tried it.
That was good.
Like I felt like that.
Video.
Professionalism.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
That was so, you know, great moment.
It must have been a huge moment for you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And also, when the radio recording ended, it was in midnight.
So there were no trains, of course.
So they prepared for us some taxis.
Okay.
Yeah.
And they provide a taxi ticket for me.
Oh, shit.
Have you ever seen that?
I've seen it once.
Once?
Yeah.
That was also my first time for seeing the taxi ticket.
It was a real taxi ticket, and I was like, "Wow.
This is it."
And I took the fax drive.
Yeah.
You can go anywhere you want.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like the first time you get it, you're like, "Okay.
Where should I go?"
Yeah.
Like, I don't know.
Maybe going home isn't the best use of it.
Maybe I should go to a convenience store, go back, and then go to my house.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
So that was yesterday.
That was yesterday.
Yeah.
Still, I'm excited, kind of.
A little bit fuzzy.
Yeah.
Going around.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Feet not on the ground yet.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So happy.
Talk to me more about that on the next episode.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Thank you.
But congratulations.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Happy for you, man.
Well, thank you for your word.
All right.
