Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Alright.
This one.
This is from Asami-san.
Okay.
Thank you.
日本語
Yeah.
Well, isn't that what happens all the time?
Like, when we start getting used to things,
we tend to tone it down a little.
Yeah.
Chill and relax.
Yeah.
And I guess, I had that happen.
Remember when we were doing a live stream for a client at a 洞窟?
Yeah.
Dungeons and Dragons.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
On a live stream.
And that was like, we weren't used to it, right?
We all had this mindset of like, okay, we have to make this work.
We don't know how much entertainment we can provide,
but we have to do our best to do it.
And then like, I was sort of like, I guess back to that vibe of like,
when we were just starting out our live stream,
when we weren't still sort of like figuring this out,
just tried to, you know, find value in a lot of ways.
Yeah.
And then so I was more like, you know, quote, unquote, high tension, right?
And then when I look at the comments, they're like, whoa, what happened, Gavin?
People who were used to like the Monday night live streams,
they were like, yo, is Kevin high?
Like, is he okay?
There were a lot of comments on that.
Is he okay?
Yeah, like his tension is very like high.
So, yeah, I felt that happen.
That's a good thing.
I remember that.
From me, like professional, right?
I mean, if I could be stable, that would be so much better, but.
Yeah, yeah.
But to me, like, it's like, you know,
when we do like three of us in just live stream,
it's just a conversation.
It's not even job to me.
It's just a conversation.
It's just a conversation.
You just meet friends and just, that's all.
But if you have somebody else, like, for example,
we did a Disney wand.
03:00
Oh, yeah.
Disney live stream.
All those things, not only live streams,
but like making video with some clients.
Yeah.
And then every time I see you two, like, oh, they're professional.
Okay.
How?
It's very, like, how should I say it?
In what ways?
It's like very treat that as a proper thing, like real thing.
Okay, okay.
Like, try to provide value.
Oh, yeah, I guess.
Every time you do like, yeah, is it really okay or not?
Yeah.
And like, a little slight adjustment included.
But the way you, like, facing to the clients,
facing to the content itself is very, very.
I see.
To me, it's like professional.
Looks sounded professional to me.
Yeah.
To me, it's more like, how can we bring this negative into a zero?
Yeah.
What do you mean?
It's more like that.
There's a lot of points that seems very unnatural.
Like, when we do it like that.
So, how can we bring it to a non-negative state?
I see.
So that it doesn't look unnatural to the audiences.
Oh, I see.
I mean, I guess that stance could be taken as a professional.
Yeah, that's professional.
That seems more, yeah, putting it like that seems more natural.
So, you're not, like, making it, like, more and more.
But it's like you're getting.
It's not like I'm trying to, like, over provide.
It's more like, how can I, how can we just.
Make it natural.
Make it natural.
As usual.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh.
That seems more accurate to me.
I see, I see.
I feel like the things that me and Kakijan are talking about is more like, this is weird.
We got to fix it.
This is like, this is fucked up.
I do something about it.
Right?
Oh, yeah.
Well, that itself is professional to me, first of all.
Yeah.
I guess, I guess.
Right?
Just, I guess.
If I was alone, like, oh, yeah.
I would do everything.
We'll just go with that.
Yeah.
I mean, that itself.
Yeah.
It's self and professional.
I mean, I think there's different vibes in the different projects.
Right?
I think, you know, when we do our, we've done the, with Amazon's on, we do our, what was
it called?
What was it?
The Meguro.
Oh, the shuroku.
Koukai shuroku.
Yeah, koukai shuroku.
That was more, like, relaxed, I guess.
Yeah.
That was more like, hey, it'll work out.
Right?
Yeah, yeah.
I guess it depends on the project.
True.
Yeah.
True.
The main channel, the douga, the video is more, more and more.
Right.
It's stricter, I guess.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
True.
This kind of podcast is just like, you also like, yeah, all right.
Yeah.
I don't know how many times I've made mistakes on uploading the show.
06:00
Yeah, yeah, true.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
More, like, kind of relaxing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
But still.
Right.
Yeah.
Every time I see, like, those clients were kind of, every time I see you, like, oh, this
is how professional, what, influencer?
I don't know what should I call it.
I mean, I'm sure you do that with your music work too, right?
Music?
Yeah.
Like, when you're making a promotional, I don't, do they say promotional videos anymore?
Is that a dead phrase?
Yeah.
Music video.
Several years ago, they were all saying PVs, right?
Yes.
No one says that anymore, right?
Music video.
Yeah.
Yeah, true.
But anyways, I'm sure you do that with your music videos too, right?
Like, something isn't looking the way you want it to, like, you'd sort of, right, articulate
that.
True.
I've never done, like, client's work before.
It's just all what I want or not.
But still, even if it's for you, like, let's say you have a videographer with you or, like,
a director with you and, like, it turned out to be something you're not really looking
to do, then you'd be like, oh, hey, can we just?
Yeah, of course.
Right?
Of course.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Get it, get it, get it.
Yeah.
Right.
But yeah.
So professional.
Yeah.
Have you been making any music videos lately?
No.
Nothing?
Like, I've never made any music video before.
Were you making a music video?
No, it's just, I just film what I sing.
Wasn't that a music video?
No, it's just, for example, like, when you say music video, it's more like you have,
like, world, you gotta, you know, you had, like, clothes, you got a background thing,
you cut changes.
Yeah.
Isn't that what you're doing?
No.
I've never done that before.
Are you going to make one?
Yeah.
Oh, someday you will.
Someday, yeah.
Oh, all right.
Then what were you making?
It's difficult.
I don't know.
What were you making?
What?
Oh, just songs.
You were just, like, a video recording of you just singing?
Is that what you?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, I see.
Like, I just recorded of the, like, a live, live show, kind of.
You said there were dancers, right?
Oh, yes.
Yes.
Once I tried to make one music video.
Yes.
Oh.
We tried to hire dancers.
Yeah.
Try to invite friends.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I remember talking about that.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You talk about that.
Yes, yes.
I tried once, but it didn't work well.
Oh.
It didn't go well.
What happened?
Didn't like the, I mean, it was difficult to make it what we wanted.
Oh, I see.
Included, like, everything, you know, that all, you know, it's difficult.
09:06
Lots of.
I wasn't capable, capable to, you know, you know.
It seems like there's a lot of, like, high deal there.
There's a lot of.
I mean, because they, like, included everybody, like dancers.
Everybody tried hard, tried their best to make it good, make it better.
But it was just, you know, my first experience, first try to make music video.
Yeah.
And there were many, many things that I should have planned before or, like, should have thought
before, should have prepared before.
And yeah.
So.
That's so true.
Yeah.
I tried once.
It was hard.
Oh, OK.
Yeah.
So, but I'm planning for the next one.
Ah, coming back better and stronger.
Yes.
With, you know, for example, like directors or like scenario writer guy.
Oh, I see.
With the things that I hadn't before.
And I know which is necessary with those.
Right.
But yeah.
I see.
Yeah.
Where do you find all these directors?
Random.
Just friends.
Oh, just friends.
Friends, friends, friends.
Oh, I see.
Or just, you know, for example, like me at the party.
Oh, OK.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I see.
Those, you know.
Oh, like connection.
Yeah.
I see.
Just simply kind of aegyo.
I don't know if you call those aegyo.
Wow.
Yeah.
Oh, I see.
I see.
Hmm.
Yeah.
Hope it works out on the next one.
Yeah, I hope so.
Yeah.
I hope so.
Right.
I hope so.
Right.
Because music video is really, really important.
Hmm.
Right.
Yeah.
Do you enjoy music videos?
I actually don't look at music videos so much.
Oh, you don't like them?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, me neither.
Oh.
I just stream and listen to mainly.
Yeah.
It's the audio, right?
Yeah.
Or see the live show.
Hmm.
Yeah.
That's what I do.
But, you know, music videos.
Sure.
I mean, it's the one on YouTube, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
YouTube is a lot of discovery platform too, right?
Right.
If you go to your artist page.
Yeah.
And there's nothing on my page, actually.
There's not my song.
Oh.
There's not my song's video.
Oh.
Because I don't have any music video.
Uh-huh.
It's just you covering songs and stuff like that?
Yeah.
And my live performances videos.
Hmm.
That's good.
I see.
I see.
Yeah.
As a, you know, portfolio.
