That was great.
How was I?
Oh, that was great.
Great.
Great narration.
Was great?
Yeah.
Thank you.
So, shibaraku was a little bit difficult word.
It took me a second.
Right.
But I got them.
Did you know this word?
Yeah, I knew the word.
Oh, really?
Wait, I'm pretty good at reading.
Well, okay.
Better than me writing.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, you know this little kanji character?
Yeah, I saw it.
Okay, okay.
And with the context, you can understand and...
Right.
Shibaraku is used a lot actually in...
Right, right.
...machinaka.
In stores and on screens.
Especially on screens.
Like when you're processing something on screen, the message comes out.
Right.
Shibaraku machi kudasai.
Right.
But usually, you will be in hiragana style?
Oh, hiragana.
No, I've seen kanji.
Okay, okay.
So, I'm used to it.
Mm-hmm.
So, it was great narration.
So, where do I...
See, the thing is, if I'm reading out loud, I'm so focused on me reading it out loud...
Okay.
...that none of the naio comes in.
Oh, really?
That's interesting, right?
That's interesting, really.
When I read it out loud, I have no idea what I said.
Really?
Yeah.
That's a great...
Right, that's a great new point.
That's really interesting to me.
That's probably interesting to you, right.
So, do you have any idea what the question was?
03:01
No, I don't know what the question was.
Wow.
It's probably this me sucking at Japanese kind of world.
Like, if I'm...my brain power is so much focused on me pronouncing it the right way...
Right.
...me reading the kanji the correct way that I'm not focused on what...
Wow.
...it's actually saying.
So, I don't know what the question was after me reading it out loud.
Okay, that's interesting.
Yeah.
So, it's not, like, connected with the meaning and the sound.
No, they're not connected.
The sound is just sound.
Sound.
I'm just being a microphone, that's all.
Okay.
I have no idea what it said.
Wow.
So, you just read the sound itself and say it loudly.
Yeah.
No meaning comes...
No meaning came into my brain.
Wow.
Yeah, that's interesting, right.
That's really interesting.
I know.
But, like, if I focus even more...
Mm-hmm.
Like, if I put more of my energy to it, I can do it.
Okay, okay.
But it'll probably be slower.
Mm-hmm.
It'll probably be less accurate with the pronunciation and the kanjis.
Wow.
But I can do it.
But...
But now I wasn't.
I had no idea what the question was.
Okay.
I remember Atami.
I remember, like...
Atami?
I don't...
Chizuoka Atami.
Mm-hmm.
Zushi.
Oh, Izuru?
Izuru, right?
Somewhere around there.
Yeah.
But I don't know what the question was.
Whoa.
That's weird, right?
That's not weird, but that's interesting to me.
That's interesting.
Mm-hmm.
It's probably like...
When you read English out loud, doesn't that happen to you?
Well...
No?
When you read it out loud.
I don't know.
Actually, I've never realized that.
Or when you're reading...
Maybe, maybe.
Maybe that happens to me.
Maybe five minutes ago.
Maybe.
Right.
I, uh...
Yeah, I...
Whoa.
Can't understand what it's saying.
Mm-hmm.
That's only the sound itself.
It's the sound itself.
Wow.
Wow.
That's interesting.
Mm-hmm.
All right, so let's ask the question.
Okay, okay.
