I think we need a new opening.
Oh, okay.
Do you have any idea?
Oh, for new opening?
Yeah, like...
You know, some radio...
with little jokes at the beginning.
Do you know that?
No.
Like little joke like...
What is it in Japanese?
Like...
Like...
Hmm...
I remember one was...
Like that.
Like...
Ehhhhhh...
Little Dajare things.
What?
They open their radio with Dajare.
Right.
With Dajare.
Like this.
Little thing like...
Or...
Like little thing like...
Yeah, little Dajare things.
Yeah.
At the beginning.
Ehh...
"Chocolate in the morning,
"chocolate in the afternoon,
"chocolate at night,
"and you, who lives all day with chocolate."
"Durududududu!"
Ehhhhhh...
Okay!
"Hai!"
Like that.
Yeah, just like that.
Was that it?
Yeah, like that.
Okay.
Okay, just little things like that.
Like little information,
or little...
Little funny things.
Little... Okay.
Got it, got it, got it, got it.
So, uh...
Do you have anything for us today?
Yes, yes.
Uh, we've got a line from...
JJAKMZ.
Okay.
Thank you, JJ.
Thank you, JJ.
By the way, do you read this character's
"J" or "Z" or "Zed"?
"Z".
It's "Z".
"Z".
So, JJAKMZ.
"Z". It's a "Z".
Okay, JJAKMZ.
No.
You don't say "Z".
I say "Z".
"Z".
"Z".
Not "Zetto".
Oh, really?
Because in Japan, we learn this as "Zed".
It's "Z".
It's "Z".
Yeah.
You never pronounce it as "Zed".
"Zed", no.
No, it's "Z".
"Zed" is a completely different thing.
Okay.
So, JJAKMZ.
"Z".
Right.
All right.
Sexy.
That's the question.
Yes.
You remember we talked about the sexiness of
Shota Matsuda and
Yeah.
and
Jutaka Takeda.
Jutaka Takeda.
and Picaplio.
Right, right.
Yeah.
ZAKM.
Like sexy,
"S" "S" "S" "X" "Y"
Yeah.
is English word.
But also in Japan, we say "sexy"
Yeah.
in Katakana.
Yeah.
We use that word pretty much, but
he thinks that
that "sexy" as Japanese word is a little bit different from "sexy" in English word.
03:03
Mm-hmm.
Like,
you know,
and he's asking about that differences.
Do you think there's any difference between like,
like, you know, the way you use
or the way you think about the image of that "sexy"
like,
or sexiness?
Like if it's,
if it's being used in a conversation,
like I think it's a little bit different.
Like,
"sexy"
"Oh, that's sexy."
Those two are a little bit different, I guess.
Mm-hmm.
I think that's "sexy" in English is like a little bit more of like
"that's cool" kind of meaning.
Right, right.
In Japanese is more of a "sexy" than is more...
Sexual way.
Right, in a more sexual manner.
Mm-hmm.
It's a,
it's complementing their sexuality.
Yeah, right.
Whereas in English, it's more lean towards
coolness, cultural coolness.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah, I think there's a difference there.
Right, right.
Like,
like if I say, "Wow,
your glass, your hairstyle is sexy."
Right.
It's like, I think,
it's not,
there is a sexuality added.
Mm-hmm.
More than just you saying,
"Oh, that glass is cool."
Mm-hmm.
It has a sexuality color to it.
It's more,
more attractive.
Yeah.
I guess.
Mm-hmm.
It has a sense of attractiveness.
Yeah, like a little bit "iroke."
Yeah.
Right.
It has a little bit of a color, but not as much of a color
of that "iroke-ness"
as if it's being said in Japanese.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, actually,
a little bit of an incident kind of thing.
At the political world in Japan,
that little,
not little, sorry,
one minister
Okay.
said about,
was some kind of problem.
And he answered,
"We have to solve this problem with sexiness."
Mm-hmm.
Like,
"You have to be sexier."
That's what he said.
A politician said that.
Okay.
And in Japan, that was,
"Sexier?"
You know, that's a little bit...
Inappropriate.
Yeah.
Ah.
But he was saying, you know,
like, "cool."
Right.
Means...
Right.
Sexy.
I mean, if it's being used by a politician,
I do think that's a little bit too much,
you know, like,
Right.
Too much culturally relevant.
Like, too much relying on the cultural meaning, right?
Like, it's...
You have to be sensitive with the words,
06:00
like, if you're a politician, right?
Like, a lot of people, you know.
So, I do feel like that's a little bit unnatural
for him to say that,
even if it was an American environment.
Okay.
Like, if an American senator said that,
like, we have to solve it with a little bit more of a sexiness.
It would just be like...
It wouldn't be as much of a problem in Japan.
Right.
Like, I don't think people,
like, the media wouldn't go at it so hard.
But I do feel like it's a little bit unnatural.
Oh, okay.
Even if it's in the United States.
Like, I wouldn't use "sexy."
Like, I don't think a senator would use the word "sexy"
to describe how they would tackle a problem.
Okay, okay.
Yeah.
All right.
So, that was his question.
Yeah.
Sexy.
Sexy.
So, you can use that to male.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
We are male and using that word to male.
Yeah, you can.
You're sexy.
Yeah.
You're like...
Yeah, you can. You can.
It's a compliment.
Yeah.
Right.
And if you say that to, like, a girl,
"Oh, your dress is sexy."
Yeah.
You have to be careful with that a little bit, though.
Oh, okay.
If you're, like, not in...
If you're not...
If you don't have that trust with that female,
you'd just be "segara."
Oh, really?
Just like in Japan.
Sexy.
Okay.
Like, your boss.
Like, you're...
Let's say you're throwing a party with your colleagues,
your contemporaries at your work, right?
And then, you're your boss,
and then, your employees,
one of your female employees wears a dress,
and then, you tell her,
"Oh, you look sexy today."
That could be a violation.
Okay.
Could.
Oh, okay.
If you don't have the trust, right?
So, your dress is cool today.
It's better.
I mean...
"It looks good" would be, like,
a very natural way of saying it.
Okay, okay.
Like, "sexy" would just imply a lot of feminism.
Like, a lot of...
It would imply that she is being a female.
Yeah, right.
Like, you're imposing that male versus female relationship
when a male says it to a female.
Like, you're...
Right.
It's a...
You gotta be careful with that.
Okay, okay.
So, it's not same as "cool" or "good."
Right.
Right.
"Sexy."
It has an "okay" color.
"Sexual" nuance.
Yes.
Yes, it does.
It does.
Definitely does.
Oh, okay.
Oh, that was good.
You gotta be careful with that.
Answer, huh?
Yeah.
That was a good answer.
Yeah.
Alright.
Your...
Your hair is...
Sexy.
Whoa.
What did that mean?
No, it's just...
What did that mean?
Sexy.
Alright.
That was...
That just made it really awkward.
Alright.
So, we're gonna be closing this episode.
09:00
Bye-bye, guys.
Have a great day.
