Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
All right!
Wow!
On our way to Tokyo Tower, and I see it! I see the Tokyo Tower!
Oh, really? You see it?
Oh, isn't that the Tokyo Tower?
No, not the same one.
That's a thin, skinny-ass Tokyo Tower.
All right, that is not the Tokyo Tower.
All right.
Where are we now?
What's your image of Toranomon?
Offices?
Like a high-paid, salary people.
The elite.
Yeah.
I mean, well, to me, not like authentic elite, but more like money...
fighters, kind of.
Uh, you know, I kind of get that.
Yeah.
I do.
I do.
Yeah.
I understand that.
Do you come here often?
No.
I don't.
No, I don't go here a lot.
Not many residents, right?
I think so.
Maybe they're just hiding?
But they have Toranomon...
No, that's not residents.
They have like some mansion, tower mansions.
Like Toranomon Hills is a famous tower, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Atago Green Hills.
A lot of fancy residences here.
Yeah.
You know, ever since you moved to your new place...
Yeah.
How is it?
Um...
I haven't gotten any updates from like how the place is.
Yeah.
Do you enjoy it or not?
Right.
I'm actually enjoying it actually now.
That's good.
Yeah.
I'm finding some new places.
So...
No, no, no.
It is the Tokyo Tower, dude.
Really?
That is the Tokyo Tower.
The skinny thin one?
Yeah, this is the Tokyo Tower.
Look!
Wow!
This is it!
Wow!
Oh, yeah.
That's the sign, Tokyo Tower.
03:00
It's on the right hand, right?
Oh, I see.
Right hand, huh?
Yeah, it will be.
You're right, you're right, you're right.
It'll be on the right hand side.
Wow, I can see...
Oh, that must be the entrance.
Oh, yes.
Yes, it is.
Oh, look at that!
Towering over.
You know, I think Tokyo Tower is the best when it's at night, you know?
Oh, really?
Yeah.
With the lights off?
With the...
It's got this soft light that wraps around the tower.
Oh.
You know?
Oh, wow.
Fancy.
Wow.
Very beautiful.
Oh, wow.
Wow, we're just below the tower.
Just below the tower, right now.
Yeah.
Wow.
And it...
Wow.
Oh, so you...
Oh.
Okay, let's not park here.
Wow.
Uh...
I guess that's it.
Yeah.
That was Tokyo Tower.
Wow, we've just seen it.
Yeah, it's right there.
Take a good look.
Wow.
Take a good look at the Tokyo Tower, man.
Because there weren't any parkings or we couldn't stop.
Yeah, that's okay.
I just can see it clearly.
Wow.
It's...
Wow.
Beautiful, big.
What do you think?
It's cool.
It's cool.
When you look, like, take a close look and you can see the...
Um, the constructor.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's...
It's looks...
It looks cool.
It looks like it's metal and it's...
It's very metal-y.
Yeah.
Right, right.
You're right, you're right.
Wow.
It's very, like, constructive one.
Uh-huh.
I get it.
Yeah, it's cool.
Wow.
All right.
Wow.
That was Tokyo Tower.
Um, I can't eat anymore, but...
You're right.
Wow.
Yeah, it's like a more...
It's more real, I would say.
Yeah, yeah.
It's more powerful.
06:02
The metal bones, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The metal bones...
It's a skeleton, right?
Yeah, yeah.
It's a metal skeleton.
Yeah.
And it's, like, the metallicness is just very...
It's soft from afar, but hardcore hardness.
Hardcore hardness?
Yeah, but I get it.
You get what I'm saying, right?
Yeah, I get it.
Yeah.
Right.
It's hardcore hardness.
Exactly.
Yeah.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Hardcore hardness.
I get it.
I get it, I get it.
Yeah, it's real.
It's real.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's powerful.
I get it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's not something beautiful, like...
Right.
It's powerful when it stands.
Certainly.
That was a great first-time, up-close view...
Yeah, thank you.
...of the Toge Tower.
Thank you.
Awesome.
Enjoy it.
Enjoy the moment.
All right.
We will head back then.
Okay.
And then in three minutes, we'll be finishing.
Okay.
We don't want to record too close to the station.
Of course.
Yeah.
You know, all places and everything.
Wow.
Yeah.
If you take a look, that Toge Tower is just, you know, under the tower.
Right.
We were driving right under it, right?
Yeah.
Right next to the feets of the Toge Tower.
That's powerful.
Yeah, powerful, I would say.
Yeah.
Right.
It's like, to me, when you see carefully built shrine or temples, you know...
Like up-close?
...made of wood.
Yeah.
It's like a...very mathematical.
Ah.
Very, like, calculated.
Yeah.
If you go up Toge Tower, that's very beautiful, too.
Yeah.
At night, actually.
At night, actually?
Yeah.
I should go.
Yeah.
It's worth it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, that's the temple...
So, one...the place where it's, like, a bit bigger is the temple, right?
Yes, yes.
The white place.
Yeah, yeah.
You can either choose the stairs or the elevator.
You can actually go up there by stairs.
By stairs?
Yeah.
It's, like, this whole challenge.
09:01
Wow.
Will it be fun?
It will be fun.
Wait, where is the stairs?
It's outside?
Like, is it scary?
It's half outside.
Yeah, it's a little scary.
If you look down, it's like a metallic kind of steps.
It does.
It's like a mesh kind of thing.
That's scary.
Yeah, it is scary.
But it's fun, though.
Yeah, I mean, I choose elevator.
Sorry.
All right.
Set a goal.
All right.
Let's go.
Yep.
So, any last thoughts on our trip here?
The whole driving trip?
Yeah, this will be the last episode of the trip, so...
Wow, still...
You see the Tokyo Tower still?
Yeah.
You know, it's...
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I saw it, I saw it.
The blue sky, white cloud, and red Tokyo Tower.
Beautiful.
Wow, that's beautiful.
Wow.
Yeah, so it was fun driving, just driving, right?
We were just...
Being able to enjoy outside.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, finally, even though...
It wasn't sunny.
It was cloudy, but...
Half rainy.
Yep.
But we experienced cloudy, rainy, sunny day at the same time.
Yeah, I mean, that was pretty much fun to me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was good.
Thank you.
Oh, yeah.
And...
But I'm not sure this was a good as a podcast program, because I'm sure kind of...
You know, now we're having microphones.
Yeah.
So I think I believe that's okay, but...
So sorry for listeners if you had any, like, inconveniences.
With the audio quality.
Yeah, sorry about that, but we had good time, so...
Yeah, we had a good time.
Yeah.
We...
We're gonna see the Tokyo Tower again.
Again.
Yeah, the route takes us through the Tokyo Tower.
Yes.
Oh, is that Tokyo Tower there?
That is not Tokyo Tower.
That is definitely not Tokyo Tower.
Oh!
Wow.
Wow!
Damn.
That's beautiful.
It's really...
It really is beautiful.
Yeah.
You know?
Oh, thanks to the traffic light.
Oh, perfect.
Wow.
12:02
Oh.
Look at that.
Look at that.
Panel.
The sign there.
Tokyo Tower sign.
The top is about to fall down.
Wait, what?
Oh, yeah.
What the fuck?
It's tilted.
Yeah.
It's about to fall down.
The...
If you look at the English letters...
Yeah.
Tokyo Tour...
Oh, it's becoming Tokyo Wasta.
Wow.
Yeah.
All right.
Any...
Final comments?
Yeah, final comments, recap.
I mean...
I mean, it's fun to do new things, you know?
Yeah.
I can't wait to do something else.
True.
I can't wait to just...
I don't know.
Barbecue or something.
That'll be fun, right?
That'll be fun.
And we find that...
We can be connected.
Yeah.
Oh, god.
Okay, you know, I...
I was trying to be nice there by immediately saying, yeah.
But like...
I mean...
I immediately realized that that was weird.
That was a weird thing to say.
Using this, you know, wired microphones.
That's what he's talking about, guys.
Not talking about anything else.
We're talking about wires.
Wires, of course.
All right.
Maybe some other...
Another driving.
We can do that.
Yeah, let's do another drive.
We can go all the way to like Aomori or something, right?
Yeah.
We can do like a fun little challenge of like...
Yeah.
Going to places without using any of the maps or anything.
That'll be fun.
That'll be fun.
Like trying as far as we can within the time.
Right, right.
Yeah.
That'll be fun.
All right.
So I hope you guys enjoyed the drive talk.
Yeah.
And we'll see you guys again.
Right.
