Welcome back to another episode of Kevin's English Room Podcast!
What a great echo, yeah.
Hold on, what happened to the chair?
I thought it was like this.
You can adjust it.
Oh, adjustable. Understood.
Another great day?
Yeah, it is.
Thank you for joining, Yamachan.
Thank you.
Um...
Today...
You're the first today.
Yeah.
Wow.
Thank you.
I don't know.
I was...
Today, this...
In the morning, I was doing TikTok recording.
With Kake-chan.
And I was on my way to go to the bathroom.
And...
In the studio?
Yeah, in the studio.
And then, as I was walking outside...
To go to a convenience store.
Okay.
I met one of my fans.
Really?
Right. Chi-san.
The person who sent us... recommended us...
Mameya. Ko-hi Mameya.
Really?
I didn't remember.
So I was walking outside, right?
You met her?
Yes. She was riding a bicycle.
Really?
Yeah, so she was like... She was like bicycle speed.
I met her face.
We made eye contact.
Just for like a millisecond.
Yeah, of course. Because she was riding on a bike.
Right. And then she passed by.
And like 10 seconds later...
I heard somebody scream out my name.
What?
"Tan-san!"
And I turned around.
And this lady...
Was on her bicycle. And it's like...
I'm Chi. I'm the one...
That sent you the recommendation to Ko-hi Mameya.
And joined the With Live.
And yeah.
Oh my god!
That's Yuchi-san!
Thank you!
She was like...
I'm listening to all of the YouTube.
And I'm enjoying it and everything.
And she was like...
I just finished joining...
"Futto Saru".
She was like, yeah.
I just finished joining the "Futto Saru".
Wow.
Really?
Yeah. That's what she told me.
She was on a bicycle and went to a futsal team?
Yeah.
And played a futsal?
Yeah.
Wow. What a sporty, active girl.
Yeah.
Wow.
And yeah.
But she was very kind.
She was like...
From all the episodes,
I know that you don't like being...
Oh yeah.
Being like, "Hey Kevin!"
I hesitated if I should call you or not.
But she said,
"You didn't have a cap on."
03:00
So maybe I was okay to...
She was very...
Very "omoyari".
Yeah.
Wow.
That was really kind.
I want to meet her too.
Because...
I went to "Kohi Mameya"
several times.
And I found really great beans.
Yeah.
I would really love to say thank you to her.
You visited her multiple times?
Yeah.
You visited the store multiple times?
Wow.
You've got some new beans too?
Yeah.
But I finished it.
Of course.
These are not the beans from "Kohi Mameya".
Oh, the one you gave me.
The one you made me.
Just usual beans.
But they're good.
But I did say thank you for her.
Wow, my English.
I did say thank you for you.
About the "Kohi Mameya".
I told her that Yama-chan is really enjoying it.
Oh really?
Wow.
It's really...
It's really the first time that
we've met a fan that we recognize.
As people who are...
Who's very interactive with us.
Through the comment section.
Or DMs or everything like that.
That we recognize.
So that was like...
It was really like...
"The world is small" kind of feeling.
I thought.
Because it's not that far from your...
I mean our places, right?
No, it's not far.
Yeah.
Wow.
I've been getting several...
Like, "Hey Kevin, is that you?"
Two days ago,
I was in Tokyo.
And...
Two foreigners.
Wow.
One of them...
Was watching my TikTok.
And he enjoyed the "Hey mom, milk!"
One.
He spoke to me in English.
He was like, "Hey, excuse me."
"Are you Kevin?"
It was a dad.
A dad in a baby cart.
In a stroller.
And he was like, "My baby."
"My wife loves you, Kevin."
"Can we just get a 'Hey mom, milk!'"
Wow.
You did it?
I was kind of excited.
And another one.
At the gym?
He was an exchange student.
From China.
He spoke to me in Japanese.
Wow.
Yeah.
Wow.
It's fun.
Yeah. If they're nice.
Yeah, of course.
So like,
In the earlier days,
06:00
Well, still, but like,
I had had some experiences
where people were not really respected.
Some of the younger people
were like,
Trying to...
Just
Point a camera towards me.
Really?
Wow.
Try to take pictures of videos maybe?
No.
One of them would be like, "Hey, do something."
Do something?
What do you mean, "Do something?"
Exactly, that's what I want to ask them.
Alright, so.
Well, it's not
It's not happy, but
Meeting with those,
You know, gentle.
Right, gentle people.
Supportive fans.
Wow, it's really nice.
Wow.
How is she?
I mean, Chi-san. Is she like, same ages?
Or a little...
I think near our age.
I think.
Definitely, I think, the Shakaigin probably.
Wow.
I want to go to that.
And join the futsaku club then.
Yeah, you do soccer too.
You enjoy playing soccer, so you know.
Right.
I've been actually wanting to play futsaku.
We should both join the team.
Yeah, where do we go in?
Like, I literally wanted to.
So, we're planning to join, gather some of the acapella people.
Just be like,
Let's do some team sports.
Right, so like, maybe this is a good time.
Yeah, of course.
Let's do that.
I wonder how...
What if Chi-san was like, really really good?
Like, in the national league.
It's not something that we can go and play.
Just select it.
And do some crazy physical training.
Exactly.
Are we timed right now?
Or is this...
Oh, no, we're freestyling.
That's fine, that's fine.
We can do it for the next one.
Yeah, there's two left.
I feel like...
Us timing ourselves is really...
Productive.
I found it very productive.
I...
You know, I've been playing football since I was a little kid.
And once I had a practice game.
Yeah.
Versus like, Nadeshiko Japan.
Really?
The Japan national team?
Not the Nadeshiko Japan, but the youth team.
Oh, the junior.
And I was in high school.
Yeah.
You know, high school boy.
Yeah.
Who, like, assuming that I am...
Like, one of the...
09:00
The best...
Toughest, fastest...
Yeah, the man.
The best player out there.
But Nadeshiko players were way more stronger than that.
Really?
Yeah.
Like, technically, physically...
They were completely better than us.
Completely better than us.
We were like...
Murdered.
They were so fast and so strong.
Wow.
Maybe it sounds like that.
Yeah.
I mean, you're like, fairly experienced.
Well, yeah.
We were like, kind of...
The true Bukkatsun.
Right, you guys were doing it almost every day, right?
Yeah.
I've never even played a full set game before.
So...
I just like the interaction.
Yeah.
So, that was what happened today.
Wow.
I just wanted to tell you that.
That's nice.
Those things don't happen quite often.
So, like...
I was like, surprised.
Wow.
Nice day.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Bye-bye.
