Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Yeah. Yep.
You thought I was going to do some sort of a dramatic opening didn't you huh?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Got you there. Okay.
So I bought my, I was finally, I finally got my new fleece.
Oh, the one you told. The one I wanted.
Yeah, the little furry kind of fleece. Like bear. Bear looking kind of.
Yeah. I got a, I got a, what do you call that? Navy?
Navy. Yeah, navy. Dark navy kind of color.
Got it for 1400 yen.
1400 yen? 1400 yen. Oh, 1400 yen. Wow.
Good price. Good price, good price. Yeah.
And I'm loving it. I love it. Okay.
I love it. It's really cold today. Yeah, it is.
I came here with that on, with short sleeves.
Short sleeve t-shirts inside. Yeah, like white short sleeve.
Like, isn't that cold outside?
No, with the Uniqlo fleece, not at all.
At all? Not at all. Wow.
That thing is so powerful man. Wow.
Like, guys, guys listen. You need to check that out.
Like really, Uniqlo fleece with the fur.
Outside and inside.
But you don't, you're not wearing that right now.
Right, because it's not cold in here. Okay.
But for me, it's kind of cold inside.
Right, for you man. Like, I'm a different kind of, I have a different kind of skin.
Yeah. So, if I wear that, that Uniqlo fleece, and go outside, I think I will feel cold.
No, no, no. Because I am cold right now.
Look, the fur is, it's the fur on your skin that matters, right?
Even if you, right now you have a long sleeve on.
So if you wear the fur over another cloth, it's not going to touch any of your skin.
Meaning it's not going to be effective, right?
The power it holds will not be like fully utilized.
Okay. Right? You have to touch as many skin as possible for it to be utilized.
Okay. Right? So like, you should wear like a short sleeve.
Yesterday, from my house, I went to the nearest convenience store, which is like a 15 minute walk.
I wore nothing just butt.
I wore only the fleece. Uniqlo fleece.
Right, naked body. Right. Only fleece.
It was so warm. It was really, really warm.
03:00
But you know, the cold wind, doesn't it come through your...
No, it doesn't come through at all.
It's got like this little rubber band kind of thing that really like tightens the end of it.
So it cuts out the wind.
Really good guy. Really good.
Wow. You can, it's awesome.
And it's 1400 yen.
1400 yen. You can buy it now.
When it's on sale.
Yeah.
I'm also thinking about buying like these little fur bottoms.
Like these little jazzy.
The same kind of...
I'm going to become a bear.
Human form bear.
On store?
Yeah, it's in store.
Does that exist?
Yeah, it exists.
Like the fur bottom?
Right, but it's only the inside.
The fur is only on the inside.
But the outside looks like a normal kind of fabric.
Yeah, the usual one.
The usual...
Okay.
You're not going to be seen as a bear.
A bear.
My under.
Okay.
My pants.
It's not going to be seen as a bear, right?
I don't think I've ever seen a pants with a fur on the outside, have you?
I...
Yeah.
Let me show you.
Do you actually have one?
Yeah, I have one.
Okay.
It's a...
Look.
Let me see that.
Oh yeah, it's got the fur.
Oh yeah, it does.
And the inside too.
I think that's Uniqlo.
This is pretty...
I'm assuming it's very warm.
Yeah.
Is it warm?
It is.
Yeah.
That's good.
That's really good.
Yeah.
You should buy this, like the brown one.
Yeah, I should.
I should.
Or navy one.
The one that I saw was a lot more furrier than that one.
Okay.
Feel my jacket right there.
I think it's much more furrier.
Oh yeah.
Very furry.
It's really like much softer than...
Yeah, it's very soft.
Okay.
It's not that thick.
Not that thick at all.
No.
Is it really warm?
It's extremely warm.
Extremely warm.
Wow.
You should get one.
Like for real, man.
Yeah.
Do you not have one of those?
What?
You don't have one of those?
Like this one.
See, that's not...
No, that ain't fur.
It's not fur, but it's fleece.
No, it's not warm enough.
You need to have like a soft kind of fur.
Okay.
Right?
Growing inside.
Yeah.
For the heat to be trapped inside.
That's not going to trap it enough.
Okay.
Right?
You should...
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, but I'm not...
I'm already comfortable with this.
You're already...
Okay, if you're already comfortable, then good for you.
Okay.
Right?
You do you.
Yeah.
It's hot.
06:01
Is that really warm?
It is.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I also want to buy a ultralight down.
What is that?
You don't know what that is?
What was that?
Ultralight down.
What is that?
It's a...
You don't know what that is.
Oh.
What's that?
The down, right?
The down.
The ultralight down from Uniqlo.
It must be like light.
It's like the signature product for Uniqlo.
Really?
Yeah.
Are the best ones?
No, no.
Just like a normal down jacket.
What is it about?
Like...
So it's a...
It's a down jacket that's obviously very light.
Okay.
In terms of weight, right?
And it...
You can roll it up.
Ah, it's a little...
And put it in this little bag.

You're from Chiba?
Like, my house is not that near, but...
You're from Chiba, right?
I'm from Chiba.
I'm from Chiba.
Right.
And we're from Chiba, so we use the same line.
I mean, the train line.
Right.
Yeah.
Have you ever met him in Chiba to have dinner or something?
Yes, I did.
Like, it was when we graduated from university.
As we did the graduate concert.
09:01
Yes.
We need a little video with Maruchan, which is he does like little...
Comedian's move.
Right, right.
You know, the...
Wondercore.
Wondercore, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And we met to record that video.
Yes, yes.
I went to Maruchan's house and went to the nearest park and did a little...
We were surrounded by so many children.
Maruchan did a little...
"Fifty Wondercore!" like this.
And all the children were really curious about me and Maruchan.
Yeah.
Oh, you guys, you two are the only one there?
Yeah.
Ah, okay.
Then you had dinner after that?
Yeah, dinner or lunch, yeah.
Kind of like after that?
That was lunch, yeah.
Ah, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What do you talk about with Maruchan?
What?
What do you talk about when you're two together alone?
Like...
I don't know.
And don't remember?
I don't remember.
What do you talk with him?
I talked about our work.
Oh, yeah.
I met with Maruchan just by ourselves and we talked about our work and how we feel about our work.
Yeah.
Very kind of serious kind of like...
Yeah.
And how Maruchan wants a girlfriend but can't.
Good.
He can't?
He said he's trying.
Wow.
But he doesn't know how.
Ah, okay.
Like he just isn't interested in the people who he's not interested in.
You know what I'm talking about?
Okay.
At the beginning, he's not interested in anybody.
Okay.
On first sight, he's not interested in anybody.
Okay.
You know what I'm saying?
He's only interested after he's exchanged several after dinners or something.
After he's comfortable with that person, that's when he starts getting interested in the other person.
I mean, there is no like...
Hitomi bore.
Right.
Because he's not interested in someone who he's just met.
Yeah.
So, he told me about the difficulties of that.
Oh, okay.
So, he has to get to know before...
He has to push himself.
Wow.
To actually know more about the other person so that he would eventually and hopefully be interested in that person.
Okay.
Wow.
Alright.
Yeah.
We'll hopefully have Maruchan be involved in some of our content, hopefully.
Yeah, like next episode.
Next episode.
Let's call him here.
Yeah.
Got it.
Alright.
Maruchan it is.
So, Maruchan, I hope you're listening.
I'm pretty sure that he doesn't.
He can't speak English, right?
I don't think he's even interested in learning English.
