Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Cast cast cast!
So what was even that?
That was weird.
Yeah.
That was a weird echo.
It wasn't echo.
I don't know where that came from.
Okay.
Okay?
Alright.
As always, I've got a request, I mean message, question.
Okay.
It's from Yanagisawa Shou-san.
Yanagisawa Shou-san, thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Kevin-san, you know, you talked about tattoos on TikTok maybe?
Yeah, TikTok, yes.
Right.
Do you want to get tattoos?
If you do, what kind of tattoos do you want to get?
And also, if you have the most shocking or astonishing tattoo you've seen so far, I'd like you to tell me.
Hmm.
Tattoos.
I don't have a tattoo on my body and I don't want to have tattoos on my body.
Honestly.
But you know, it's more familiar.
Right, it's more common.
It's more casual.
It's more fashionable.
Right?
It's more of a, right, it's considered more of a fashion.
Right.
In Japan, it's really rare.
Right.
Right.
I know that Japanese people, some cultures, like you know, the young people have some sort of a "oshare" tattoo in themselves, right?
Like a really cute butterfly kind of shit like that.
But like, in the United States, it's even more casual.
Alright.
That was the video of the Tektok that I released, right?
It was saying that the tattoo in the United States is more casual than Japan.
Right.
Right.
And...
I know so many football players are having tattoos all around their bodies.
And like singers too, right?
Right, singers too.
Right?
Right.
Like Justin Bieber has lots of tattoos.
Yeah, huge tattoos.
Right.
I don't want tattoos on my body because it feels very painful.
And like...
Yeah.
Yeah.
You're carving your body.
That would be really, really painful.
Yeah.
I don't want to get my ears pierced too for the same reason.
It feels painful.
Right.
Right.
And I don't want to embarrass myself 10 years later with the designs that I want to put in today.
Okay.
Right?
Because my...
Right?
My taste will change.
And I feel like it will be embarrassing 10 years later, right?
And I know your sense is changing like so fast.
Yeah.
Like the...
Something you like now...
Right.
Will be changed.
Right.
Yeah.
So I don't want to embarrass myself.
Like I don't want to walk around and hide my tattoos, you know?
Like that's not what I want to do.
So I'm not going to get one because it's permanent, right?
03:01
But if I were to get one now, I would do like a pepperoni.
Just a circle pepperoni.
I would have like a cricket circle.
What do you mean?
I mean like that round like part.
Right.
But not a perfect round.
It would be like a cricket round.
Like it jiggles in parts.
Instead, it's a pepperoni.
Wow.
I just feel like that's the most natural sign on my body to have pepperoni.
Where?
Do you...
Like in my legs.
All right.
Did you know that the TikTok account...
My TikTok account handle name is Kevin the Pepperoni.
I know. I know.
Yeah.
I know that.
I almost feel like embarrassing with that already.
Already?
Right.
I already feel embarrassed with that.
I want to change them now.
But now, you know, how many people are subscribing that?
7 million.
I see that handle name.
Right.
They're calling myself Kevin the Pepperoni.
It's pretty embarrassing now.
So I might want to change that.
So listeners, if I change them, it's because I'm embarrassed.
Okay.
No other reason.
Well, let's get some tattoos of pepperoni.
Let's get extra pepperoni.
Extra pepperoni on my legs.
Let's get some extra cheese and extra pepperoni.
But I can already sense I'm going to be embarrassed with that.
You know, I can already sense it.
Like it's not a good idea.
You know, probably like five months.
Five months?
I'll probably be embarrassed with that.
That's long.
Maybe 10 minutes.
10 minutes.
That's pretty early.
Yeah.
So now it'll be like pepperoni.
How about you?
How about you?
I've never thought about getting tattoos.
If you had to get one.
You have to get one or you die.
Okay.
Okay.
Then why?
Why?
Cawfin' beans maybe?
Little coffin beans.
Like five or six coffin beans.
Five or six pieces that are like not organized.
Just like dropped beans, right?
Right.
Like that.
That'll be great.
That's pretty embarrassing.
For sure.
Not as bad as the pepperoni though.
I'll have to say that.
Sure.
Right.
Or some kind of messages.
Like letters maybe?
Like what?
Like you know some people, "I love you."
Or someone's name.
Maybe.
Maybe I'll...
Like...
I really never thought about this topic so...
06:02
But maybe Ed Sheeran maybe?
Because you love Ed Sheeran right now?
I like Ed Sheeran in Katakana here.
Ed Sheeran.
Ed Sheeran.
With little coffin beans on it.
That is so embarrassing man.
No.
And the second part of the question was...
What was the most shocking, right?
Well...
It's the amount that I'm shocked.
I mean...
This is probably not new information for you but...
You know how some of the pop stars or like rappers...
They have tattoos all over the body, right?
I've actually seen that in person.
Wow.
That was pretty scary.
It's pretty intimidating, right?
Scary.
Right.
Just him having there in the same space just feels a little bit scary.
I know that's like a little bit discriminating but like...
I couldn't help but feeling though.
Yeah.
Is that fashionable?
Yeah, it's fashionable.
So you thought that was fashionable?
I mean I...
I had a little bit of the Japanese culture inside me that...
You know, having tattoos was a little bit scary kind of stuff.
So I didn't take it 100% as fashionable but like...
I felt a little bit scary though.
Right.
He wasn't you know kind of a violent type of person?
No.
He was...
I don't know if he was kind or not.
I never really talked to him.
He was just there.
Okay.
In Walmart just shopping.
Okay.
We didn't really have an interaction but...
Right.
I did feel something there.
You know, just being in the same space was like...
Okay.
But I'm sure he's doing it for fashion.
Right.
100%.
That's just...
It's just me in culture reacting in my own little world.
So...
I'm sure he's a great guy.
I'm sure he has his own passion for tattoos.
I'm sure he's living his own life.
But...
Right.
I feel there are some people that have so many piercings.
Right?
Like all around their nose, like tongue, like lips.
Right, right, right.
All around like this eye blows.
Yeah.
That's scary to me.
To me that doesn't really seem scary to me.
Really?
I don't know why but that just doesn't seem scary.
It's scary like...
Like I went to France and I did a homestay and my sister had a huge pierce here.
In the eyebrow area.
In the eyebrow area.
Like three.
That was...
You know she like showed me like...
The inside.
Right.
The little hole here.
Oh shit.
And you know how to put the pierce on it.
That was a little bit...
Thank you but I didn't want to see that.
You know that was a little bit scary.
That's pretty scary.
09:00
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's scary.
Right.
Is it painful?
It must be painful.
I think so.
Because I can already feel pain if I just pinch myself here.
Yeah.
You've got nothing like no...
No, I don't have any holes in my face at all.
I've never even colored my hair before.
Oh, really?
I think you have never colored your hair before.
I did.
Oh, you have?
I did.
When?
When I was a college student.
Really?
Yeah, I did.
Did I realize that?
I don't know.
What color?
That was a brown...
Brown... Brown... Silver brown kind of...
Silver brown?
But you know it didn't like...
It wasn't that...
It wasn't obvious.
It wasn't really obvious.
It blended in.
Yeah.
Like as your usual self.
So people didn't notice about that.
Ah.
No, I didn't even notice.
I mean...
Oh, I think you told me the story before.
Really?
Right.
Like you once like some... Some days like in the past like you were like, "Oh, I colored
my hair but like it didn't really make a difference."
What do you think?
Ha ha ha kind of like that?
Yeah.
I think I remember that.
It didn't painful.
It wasn't painful?
No, I don't.
To dye your hair?
No.
I mean I can imagine that like hair you don't have...
So you can do that if you want.
What color if you want to do that?
If you have to dye your hair...
Okay.
What color?
It's "kinpatsu" man.
I would do "kinpatsu".
Really?
You know?
I've been doing wigs.
Oh, right.
In my...
Right.
...cont.
In my "cont".
And I've been imagining what would it feel like if I actually have a golden hair.
Right.
So...
But it was you know the golden "katsura" fits you.
Right.
So it's your fault really.
What?
It really is your fault.
You've been telling me that.
You're like the actually the only one who's been telling me that the "kinpatsu" "katsura"
looks good on me.
You're the one and only one who's being affected by the "kinpatsu" decision so it's completely
your fault now.
If it doesn't look good.
Alright.
Okay.
Me...
Blue.
Shit.
Silver blue.
Damn.
Yeah.
Definitely.
What?
Silver blue.
What happened?
What do you mean what happened?
What?
Why?
It came naturally.
It came naturally to you.
Yeah.
Silver blue.
Little bit pink.
You know.
What?
Like spots?
Yeah.
Pink spots.
What the fuck man.
Why not?
That's weird.
No.
That's totally natural to me.
You know, myself.
I will feel like I'm being myself.
Than you being in your original hair color.
But my parents told me that when I was a little kid.
Like 4 or 5.
I said that I want my hair dyed in blue.
Wow.
So it was really an organic feeling of yours.
12:04
Maybe.
And my parents didn't want their kid.
Obviously.
Blue haired kid.
So they said no.
You have to wait until you get older and be an adult.
Then now time has come.
Here you are now.
To dye your hair blue.
I would love to see that.
But like be careful man.
Yeah.
It's a big decision.
But you know that hair will get longer and fucking cut.
You're right.
Especially men.
The lifespan is shorter.
Right.
Maybe.
I have to really take a piss right now.
So we'll end the podcast.
Thank you for listening guys.
Bye bye.
Bye bye.
Bye bye.
