"hajimemashite."
That was too much.
There were four people.
Yeah, there were four people.
That was a mistake there.
I don't think we would have a fourth person in our team.
So, that was somebody.
Who was that?
That, I don't, I think that was, I think...
I think...
Who's that?
That was...
Johnny?
Johnny's cat.
Okay.
"I always enjoy watching your podcasts."
Thank you.
Really polite.
Yeah!
Like, "I always enjoy watching your podcasts."
Very polite.
Thank you.
It's like, it's okay to say like, "I always listen to them."
Yeah, right?
That's okay, right?
Like, "I always play them."
That's okay too!
That is enough.
Quite, right?
Like...
"I always play them."
That's okay, right?
"I always play them."
That's good, right?
Yeah.
"I always play them."
Well, thank you so much.
"I've been listening to your podcasts every day since April, and I've finally made it to the final episode."
Oh, yay!
Thank you.
"In the past few days, I've been looking for women's preferences."
You know, remember when we went on...
Yeah.
Pictures and...
When Matsune came in the room.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
"I've never heard you two talk about women before, so it was new to me and I felt like a man."
"I laughed."
"And you two are obviously excited and talk fast."
"The atmosphere of you two talking with excitement is ticklish, but it's also exciting and really funny."
"Have we ever talked like that before?"
Were we that excited?
Were we that excited?
We're like middle school boys.
Yeah, like we didn't even realize.
Yeah, we were...
Were we?
No, I think we were just fine.
I think we were like perfectly calm and normal and like...
Wow.
Yeah, yeah.
Embarrassing.
Embarrassing.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
"Therefore, I would like to hear more about your love story, the episode of your dating, and the differences between Japan and America."
"If you have a chance, please let me know."
Okay.
"I look forward to your future live streams."
Mm-hmm.
Mr. Manami.
Okay.
Well, thank you.
Well, thank you.
We didn't even realize that we were like...
Yeah.
03:00
Yeah.
That excited.
Boy.
The boyish kind of, right?
Okay, so let's talk about this.
Yeah.
What would be your perfect date?
Perfect date?
Yeah.
Perfect date?
A perfect date.
You're talking about the first date or...?
Ah, okay.
Yeah, let's be more specific.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, so...
Because it will be depending on the how we are in a relationship, you know?
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
So let's say that I...
I'm gonna be really realistic here.
Okay.
You met a girl...
Okay.
Through a matching app.
Okay.
Matching app.
Okay?
You've texted...
Four days.
Four days, okay.
Right?
Four days.
Texting through the matching application.
Yeah.
For four days, okay?
So you don't know much about her.
Okay.
Right?
Just only maybe the picture and a little texting.
Yeah, like what she likes to do on her weekends and like where she lives.
Ages and...
Age.
And the information.
The basic information, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
And then you decided to have dinner once.
Okay.
Okay?
And then it was a very simple cafe time.
Okay.
And it was like two hours, right?
Yeah.
And you just chatted.
Okay.
About nothing.
About nothing?
Okay, so about your job.
Uh-huh.
What your passion is.
Okay.
All those stuff.
Okay.
But only two hours.
Not that deep.
Okay.
But you'd figured that, "Oh, maybe I could get along."
Okay.
And then you kind of felt the same...
You kind of felt that she could be feeling the same way too.
Right.
And then, so, you asked her on a date on a full day.
Full day date.
Let's go on a date for a full day.
Okay.
What would be your perfect plan for that?
Okay.
Okay.
Full day date.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, you mean from the morning to the dinner?
Whatever you want.
What time you start would be up to you.
All right, all right, all right.
Let me think about that.
I'm going to ask you later.
Okay, I'll get ready, okay?
I think I want to do a full day date.
Okay.
I will meet her at 4 p.m.
4 p.m.?
Yes.
Okay.
And go to my favorite cafe.
Okay.
In Tokyo?
Yeah, in Tokyo.
Okay.
Let's go to Tokyo.
Okay.
In Tokyo.
And, yeah, in Tokyo.
Okay.
Okay.
And have cafe time two hours.
Just, you know, talking, chatting.
And get to know each other a little more.
Yes.
Deeply.
And, yeah.
06:04
I go to the IKEA then.
IKEA.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's cute.
Is it?
Yeah.
Because it's not that deep, deep.
Yeah.
But will be like good opportunity to get to know her because we can, you know, see the oldies lifestyles a little bit.
Konomi, you know.
Okay.
I think the furniture is.
So it will be like two hours.
And buy a little soft cream or hot chocolate.
Oh, yeah.
Nice.
That's nice.
Yeah.
And eat and go to the restaurant nearby.
Oh, yeah.
And that's all.
Okay.
Yeah.
I want to be like make it like not that long, long, you know, long one.
It's just like first date, first real date.
So just keep it simple.
Not going too far.
But I just want to know much more.
Okay.
So that's it.
Okay.
Yeah.
Nice.
Yeah.
I like it.
I like that.
I like the whole IKEA thing.
That was new.
Oh, really?
I've never.
I don't know what.
I've never done an IKEA day.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I don't know how you do that.
Yeah.
But it's fun to go to those shops and walk around.
And we can have conversation, of course.
But if you don't have any topics, simply just watch all these.
See all these furniture.
That's not be like awkward.
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
Right.
That's a great idea.
Yeah.
Maybe sit on the couch together.
Yeah.
It's soft.
It's hard.
Oh, okay.
Those kind of fun things.
Okay.
You know.
Try to sit in a dining table together and, you know.
Okay.
Let her do some konto.
Okay.
You know.
Oh.
My first, like, my thought on that was like, for me, that might be a little bit too getting
into that personal space too much for me.
Yeah.
Maybe.
Yeah.
I would go from like, I would be a little bit more careful with that.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think so too.
Like cinema, like those things.
The cliche kind of first date activities, right?
Like furniture is a little one step inside.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a little lifestyle.
Right.
Right.
But I want to know those things.
That's important to me.
So I want to see if we are a match or not.
Okay.
What about you?
Okay.
I would do 11 a.m. somewhere.
09:01
11 a.m.?
11 a.m.
Okay.
11 a.m.
Okay.
Yeah.
At somewhere?
Somewhere.
To have lunch.
Okay.
To have lunch.
Yeah.
We're going to start off with lunch.
Okay.
Okay.
And then 11 or 12.
Yeah.
11 or 12, either way.
Okay.
But I would have a wasshoku.
Okay.
What?
Not something that's not so heavy.
Okay.
Not like steaks or pizza.
Yeah.
Definitely not American.
I would not go for American.
Oh really?
Yeah.
I think American's a little bit...
Don't you think America's a little bit too like heavy?
For what?
For lunch time?
For lunch?
For on a second date.
Like hamburgers?
Right.
But like American...
Yeah.
Right.
For me, pizza, hamburgers are not that heavy for the first date lunch.
I feel like hamburgers, when it gets like...
It's a little like...
It gets very sloppy.
Okay.
In the mouth area.
Like you have to open your mouth so much.
I feel like some women aren't really like...
Okay.
Not comfortable, embarrassed-ish kind of like...
Like go at it.
Yeah.
Like not enjoy...
I feel like...
I definitely think that we still gotta be careful with the time.
I think we gotta be careful.
Because like...
We are still in like the "Kincho" mode, I feel like.
Okay.
We haven't completely opened up to each other.
Yeah.
Because it's the second time, right?
Well, yeah.
Okay.
Like I would go for something that's more like easily edible kind of food.
So like washioka could be good.
Okay.
Like small bites.
Yeah, like small bites.
Like those things.
Um...
Washioka could be it.
I would go hamburger shops then.
Uh-huh.
You would.
Yeah.
We're different.
Yeah.
Okay.
Um...
Uh...
Or like...
Or like a...
Like a really small like a cafe or something.
For lunch.
Yeah.
And have like a really small sandwich.
Yeah.
Not so fancy.
Not so fancy kind of sandwich.
Yeah.
Um...
Right.
And then I would...
Um...
Uh...
Go for either...
Um...
Like uh...
I wouldn't go for movies.
Okay.
Because I wouldn't be able to talk.
Yeah.
During that time.
Like I wouldn't...
I would want to use that time to get to know that person.
So I could...
I would go for like...
Like a really famous tourist spot.
Like Skytree, Asakusa, Odaiba.
Okay.
Um...
Uh...
Uh...
Where else?
Um...
Uh...
Shizuoka.
Wow.
Shizuoka.
12:00
Yeah.
Um...
Uh...
Yokohama Minato Mirai.
Okay.
Uh...
Uzu maybe?
Uzu...
No, Uzu.
Uzu?
Okay.
Uzu works.
Yeah.
Um...
And I really like walking and talking.
Okay.
Yeah.
I enjoy walking and talking.
Okay.
So you don't...
More than sit down and talking.
Yeah.
Like I don't know.
It's just...
I like that better.
Uh huh.
Like um...
Maybe it's because...
I understand that.
But I think that's a theory with your uni, IKEA.
Yeah.
It might...
There's things around to build up the subject on easier.
So less awkward I guess.
Um...
I would go to those, the spots that I mentioned.
Um...
Maybe before or after that I would stroll around the town like Shita-machi or something.
I like those.
Uh huh.
Um...
And when we're hungry I would go for dinner.
Okay.
That's where I would...
If I feel like she's opened up.
Maybe go for like an American maybe.
Or maybe go for like...
Uh...
Yeah.
Like a much more like fun kind of like more like food centered spots.
It's very...
Uh...
Like...
Hmm.
How can I word this?
Like hamburgers.
Hamburgers.
Or like much more like not like yakiniku maybe.
Oh not yakiniku?
Yakiniku.
Oh.
If we opened up.
If we opened up not yakiniku?
Yes yakiniku.
Yes yakiniku.
Yeah.
Yeah yeah yeah.
Right?
If we opened up.
Yeah.
Like okonomiyaki?
Yeah yeah yeah.
If we opened up.
Yeah.
It's more...
Heavy food you know?
Heavy food yeah.
You know what I'm talking about?
Yeah like...
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Unpolite food.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah there you go.
Casual food.
There you go.
I like the way you said it.
Unpolite food.
Sorry for opening up.
Less mannerful food.
Yeah.
Alright?
And if we haven't opened up.
If I feel like we still need more time to like get comfortable.
I would go for like Italian.
Yeah.
More boring food.
Boring food.
Yeah.
Yeah but I get what you're saying.
You know what I'm talking about right?
Yeah.
So that I think that would...
And then I wouldn't stay with her so late.
Maybe end up like...
Like 7 going.
Oh really?
Yeah.
End up 7 dinner?
Yeah.
Oh ok.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Alright.
So that's what I would do.
Ok.
I think we passed time.
Yeah.
Way more content.
Yeah.
But uh...
But you are like little...
More polite than I am maybe.
15:03
Well I wouldn't say polite.
I just...
Because I want to go to the hamburger shop or okonomiyaki at lunch.
Right.
To see the reaction.
How she eats the food.
Oh ok.
Yeah.
So...
Understandable.
That's very...
Like I definitely understand.
Yeah.
Like that wouldn't be a...
That wouldn't be like a deal breaker for me if that happened.
Like if it's like a perfect scenario I wouldn't go there.
That's my kind of thought.
Yeah.
But there you go.
Yeah.
Thanks for listening guys.
Bye bye.
