I think... AC this room up. Okay, go ahead. Oh yeah, thank you. I think, you know, 衣食獣. Yeah,
obviously, right? Yeah, 衣食獣. Those three, I think, mainly.
Like a... I mean, if you... like a... 衣? Clothes? But like excessively. Is that what you're talking
about? Because that's an obvious answer. Yeah, but I mean... Everyone spends money on that. Yeah,
but not like necessity level. But like, I want to... I want to like certain level... Like you
want to up the quality. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah, I have an image that you spend money on
restaurants. Yeah, I do. You go to the places you want to go to. Yeah, not only the restaurants,
but like foods itself. Like vegetables, meats. To be healthier and higher quality? Yeah, mainly like
to be... to be healthier. To actually enjoy what you can enjoy. Yeah, to get the most out of what
you have. Right, right, right, right. Because we're in Japan. We should really enjoy gourmets.
Yeah. It's such a gifted environment. Yeah. Honestly, yeah. We have obviously Japanese
foods, highest level in the world. Italian, French, Spanish. Yes. Korean, Chinese.
All at a high level. We got anything. At a high level. Yeah, yeah. So that's one of...
Like more and more, like I got older and older, I feel like the enjoyment towards foods
is like getting bigger and bigger. Okay. Yeah, having... not necessarily like expensive foods,
but like having good food is... I'm so... I think that's my hobby. I love it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Enjoy it. Right, right, right. Good food as in like... You're not talking about fancy restaurants,
right? Necessarily. Not necessarily. But sometimes... Yeah, sometimes yes, but not necessarily. Yeah.
It's just like you're going to like gyom super or somewhere and like get like big meats and burn it
with your friends. That's good too. Yeah. So... Right. Like if you think it tastes good. Yeah.
You like the feeling of eating good... Yeah. Tasting food. Yeah. That's getting bigger and
bigger. Right, right, right. Like for example, like going like some famous but very cheap
machi chuka and just have one gyoza dish and ramen things. Yeah. 1,500 yen. Absolutely love that.
Same happiness. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. What about things? Yeah. Yeah. Do you want me
to turn it up a little bit? Yeah, please. What about... How about plants? You got a lot of plants,
right? Yeah, that's included in the juu to me. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh. So when I talk about ishoku

Yeah. I see. I see. Furnitures do cost a lot of money. Furnitures do cost a lot of money, right?
Yeah. When you start being selective. Yeah. It's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. I haven't gone something very
expensive. As like 100,000 yen or... You know, the couch, 100,000 yen. The couch can go up to a fucking
high price. But never... Still not... Never done it. Never done it before. But it's one of the options.
Like you're... Someday. Like you're like peeking, like you're like... Yeah. Like you're flirting with it.

furniture shops and then see and price it in. And then, you know... Checking up on it? Yeah. Like,

And do you feel like someday you might want to have it in your house?
Yeah. Someday, maybe. Oh, really? Okay. Someday. Yeah. So you do find sort of like the value in it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I see. Yeah. But I don't want to... I don't like the room that just simply
collect the expensive things. You know, you can tell that, right? Yeah. Without any like a philosophy
in it. Yeah. I don't like that. Yeah. So if that... If I can find something that fits the style,
yes. Then maybe. Maybe, maybe. I see, I see, I see. But, you know, still, yeah. Still not there yet?
No, yeah. Yeah. Right. Right, right. How about plants? How expensive can plants get? So plants
isn't expensive. Oh, okay. They're not... I mean, maybe expensive for you, of course. Okay, let's
