Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hello.
Sorry, so we got a message.
Okay.
About Ginger Root-san.
Okay.
It's amazing.
And then, the question was,
If there is an artist you are interested in, please let us know.
If possible, I would appreciate it if you could study English.
It suddenly got cold, so please take care of your health and continue to stream.
Thank you.
Do you have any recommendation to me?
To people?
Have you listened to Bruno Mars and Rosé?
Yeah.
アパトゥー?
アパトゥー.
Wow.
Do you listen to that?
Yeah.
I did a little cover.
Oh shit, really?
Yeah.
The part, so when I listened to that song,
the part where Rosé was singing,
I mean, I got so much,
Oh, this must be written by Bruno Mars.
Like, I got so much Bruno Mars vibe out of her part.
Yeah.
Don't you know that,
Like that, don't you know,
that was so Bruno Mars-y, I thought.
Right, right, right.
It's definitely been written by Bruno Mars.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
To me, it felt like,
very, very similar to
One Direction song.
Oh, you felt the One Direction vibe from it?
Yeah.
Oh, really?
Do you know the song,
Even when the night is,
Yeah, yeah, I know that song.
Very similar to it.
Oh, really?
Oh, I didn't, okay.
Don't you want me like I need you, baby.
Yeah.
Oh my, I mean, same.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
And what was the,
Can you sing that?
Okay, I'll do the Apa Tu.
Yeah.
Don't you know that,
You were singing Apa Tu.
It's Night Changes.
Even when the night changes,
Wait, can you, I mean, let me listen to you singing the,
Yeah, can I search the lyrics?
Yeah, go ahead, go ahead.
Okay.
Everything that you ever dreamed of
Disappeared in,
Oh, shit.
Oh, that's similar.
That's true, that's similar.
Even when the night changes.
So, yeah.
That's right.
Oh, it's so,
That's similar.
Yeah.
And Apa Tu released,
And of course, Bruno is my star,
So I listened to that song.
Yeah.
And also, you know, One Direction,
We lost that.
Right, right, right.
So that was very same timing to me,
And just smashed in me,
And mixed inside, and,
Wow.
Yeah, I was singing the same,
03:00
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, right.
That one.
When I first heard that, I was like, apartment?
Apartment, yeah.
Apartment?
Apartment, that's true.
Like, the lyric was like,
What was it?
What was the lyric before Apa Tu Apa Tu?
Just meet me at the,
Meet me at the apartment?
Oh, true.
What's going on here?
True.
Yeah, right.
That's the name of some,
It's a Korean game, like drinking game, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's for like, put your hand and shit.
Right, right, right.
Yeah.
What about,
Yeah, so it's not K-pop.
Oh, yeah.
Bruno with Lady Gaga.
Oh, yeah, that was,
Month ago.
Yeah, that was a huge hit, right?
Huge hit.
Yeah.
Right.
Soulful.
Soul, yeah.
Smoking.
Smoking.
Great.
So great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Bruno did a commercial for Don Quixote, right?
Yes.
Yeah.
Don Quixote.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's funny.
That's funny.
That's fun.
What else?
What else?
Sabrina Carpenter.
She released a new song?
I don't know if she recently released a new song, but
Yeah.
Isn't she like on a, like a huge like streak of like,
releasing like a massive hit songs,
starting with Espresso,
maybe before that, like Feather.
Yeah.
Feather, then Espresso, and then Please, Please, Please.
So many like,
Yeah.
It's a huge like, you know,
Right.
Outbreak of Sabrina Carpenter.
It's like new, new, what do you say?
It's like new,
Superstar.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
It's, it's a lot of the American songs, you know,
are like hip hoppy and very like, you know, rap and
Yeah.
Like beats and all that stuff.
But like, you know, there's that, you know,
one section of American music that's very musical,
sort of not musical, but like, you know, melody-ish.
Yeah.
The kind that the Japanese like, right?
Right, right, right.
I think that sort of really hits the Japanese market.
True.
True, true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Many hip hop like Kendrick Lamar.
Yeah.
Released a new song.
Right.
Hip hop is taking like, ranks.
It's taken over.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If you go to US rankings, right?
Yeah.
But they're mostly hip hop.
Don't think a lot of the Japanese would,
the mass Japanese would like, you know.
Yeah.
I mean, we don't even understand the lyrics.
Right.
It's too complicated.
Right, right.
Yeah, that's true.
Right.
What about your new K-pop?
K-pop?
Yeah.
Well, I still love NU'EST.
Oh.
But I'm still, I'm kind of worried about their future.
You know, they're having trouble with the,
06:01
The agency?
Yeah, the agency and, what was her name?
Min Heejin.
Min Heejin, right.
They're having trouble with the Adore company and everything.
And she just quit.
She recently quit, you know, Adore.
I wonder what's going to happen.
Yeah.
I saw Hani-san was coming on the low code.
Yeah, like the, yeah, yeah.
Describing what the industry is.
Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I saw that too.
Wow.
Right.
It's getting.
It's getting more serious and serious.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I wonder what's going to happen.
So.
But they came to Japan, right?
A few weeks ago, like a month ago.
Oh, yeah.
For a, for a, for like a concert.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think so.
I think so.
Right, right, right.
K-K-Mama, right?
I think.
Is it?
Maybe.
Not sure of the name, but.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I was kind of relieved.
Like they.
Oh.
Yeah, I thought.
They're still active.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah, they're active.
Like they're doing like, yeah, several.
That's good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right, right, right.
Any other recent.
Yeah.
K-pop songs.
Maybe new groups.
Maybe new songs.
Not many.
Well, there were Eyelet.
Sorry?
Eyelet.
Eyelet?
Yeah.
Huh.
Cat's Eye.
Cat's Eye?
Okay.
So, yeah.
They were.
Yeah.
I mean, those were out.
Okay.
Not.
Like a new group.
I think.
A new group.
A new group.
But they were.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think they were a new group.
New boy group?
But not looking into it that much.
Okay.
Yeah.
You're not interested in male groups?
No?
For example, like TXT.
TXT.
Tomorrow by Together.
Okay.
Or like Stray Kids.
Stray Kids?
Okay.
But I don't follow them as much, though.
Okay.
Because I've heard the news that Big Bang.
Oh, yeah.
Like, kind of came back, kind of.
I mean, the MAMA concert, right?
I think G-Dragon released a new album.
Yeah.
Solo.
That's why.
And then he performed it.
And there was like a surprise.
Oh, I see.
The other Big Bang members.
I see.
So, that's why.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
Right.
So, are you a Big Bang generation?
Not much.
Not much.
But I do love several songs by them.
Yes.
But not that much.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, still the New Genes?
Yeah.
Still, right now, New Genes is number one right now.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
How about you?
Anything new in your music?
Not new, but Earth, Wind & Fire.
That is not new.
That is not new.
It's not new at all.
What song?
09:00
The only one I know is September.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
So, I found, I mean, friends told me the album.
Okay.
Earth, Wind & Fire live in Vellfire.
Okay.
That's the album name.
And that's like live recorded one.
And they performed, like, from the beginning, like, eight, six, seven songs in a row.
Oh, okay.
Without stopping.
Oh.
They just continue playing and changing and including September.
They did, like, smoothly changing into the next song.
Oh, so it was all transitioned, like, smoothly, just all connected?
That was mind-blowing.
Wow.
To do, like, a whole album.
I mean...
It wasn't for an album.
It was just an event that was then recreated into an album.
It was live.
So, from the beginning, like, one, two, three, and started.
And, like, three, six, seven songs, you know?
And then they have, like, introduction part, like, speaking a little bit.
And that was, yeah, it was, like, magical.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
If you know the songs, you would enjoy a little bit more than if you don't know the songs.
But still, I think it's...
You feel the magicalness, I think.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
So, that was one.
How do you...
What keywords do you have to look for to find it on YouTube?
Earth, Wind and Fire.
