Welcome back to another episode of Kevin's English Room Podcast!
Yeah.
Alright.
You're drinking your...
How do you pronounce that drink?
How do you pronounce...
What?
I-I-I-Ivion?
Evion.
Wait, what?
Evion.
Evion?
Yeah, Evion.
Wait, is that France?
Yes, they are.
Oh, so in France you pronounce that...
Evion.
Evion?
Yeah.
Evion?
Evion.
Evion.
What?
Evion?
Yeah.
Am I doing it correct?
Right, right.
What do you think...
How do you think you pronounce that in English?
In English?
Evion?
You think it's Evion?
Like, I don't...
Yeah, I don't know.
I'm asking, like, in English.
Evion or...
Ev...
Evion.
Evion?
No?
I don't know.
I don't know.
How do you pronounce this?
If you read and...
So, there's two ways, I feel like.
Okay.
Ivion.
Okay.
Ivion.
Okay.
Or...
Evion.
Okay, okay.
I think that's the two options I would go for.
But like, in Japanese...
Or in France, if it's Evion...
Evion.
Evion?
Yeah.
I think Americans would do like, Evion.
Okay.
Evion.
I don't know.
But, yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
All right.
So, we've got a message today.
Oh, yeah.
This is again from MasahI-san.
Oh, yeah.
Two in a row.
Yes.
Konnichiwa.
Konnichiwa.
[Speaking Japanese]
Right.
That's why we did...
That's actually why we did the voice message last time.
Because like, we didn't...
It kind of slipped through.
I mean, there's a stock, so, you know.
Yeah, right.
[Speaking Japanese]
Oh, that's a nice question.
That's a really good question, actually.
Like, he means from the inside, right?
Not the outside.
Because outside changes a lot, you know.
Really?
Yeah, like the fact that, like, I'm wearing caps and...
Okay.
Those things.
That's not fundamental at all.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's more of like from the inside, like fundamentally, what have you changed?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Before and after started to...
Well, before and after I started my own restaurant, that changed a lot.
But in terms of before and after YouTube and TikTok, that's a really good question.
03:05
I've never actually really thought through the differences in myself.
Um...
Hmm...
Yeah.
I felt...
Hmm...
Hmm...
Like, I...
After I started doing these TikToks, I had a chance to meet several other people who were doing, like, influencers and...
Okay.
And some even people who are on television and stuff like that.
And once you get to actually talk to them and get to know them,
I got to know that, oh, they're not the same.
They're just like us.
They're not...
Like, they've got their own problems and they've got their own thing and they have their own weaknesses and strength and they're living their own life.
Hmm...
And I kind of had that theory.
Hmm...
I kind of had that, um...
Hypocrisy?
Yeah.
Hypocrisy?
Hypothesis, yeah.
Yeah.
I had that hypothesis even before I did any of these kind of activities.
Hmm...
You know, thinking that, I mean, everybody has their own problems, everybody has their...
Living their own life, even the people who are shining.
Yeah.
Even the people who are on top of the business and top of the game, they've got their own problems.
And I kind of knew that, like, in theory, but, like, once I got to, like, know them, like, I...
Now I actually, actually feel...
Hmm...
I actually get...
I actually, like, understand it now.
Um...
Right.
So, like, I...
I...
Yeah.
I don't have this...
It doesn't seem as shiny anymore.
If I look at the people that are on, like, television or if I look at the people who are, like, on top of the charts and on top of the game and the people who everybody knows, like, I...
It just doesn't seem as shiny anymore.
I'm not saying that's a bad thing.
Yeah.
I'm not saying that's a negative sign of what happened to me.
I just...
It just...
I...
I gain more knowledge.
Okay.
Yeah.
Knowledge and experience is how I would interpret that.
Sure.
They're not only shining.
They're also living their lives.
Yes, they are.
That's true.
That's true.
They are.
Mm-hmm.
Other than that, do you have any...
Other than that, I...
Hmm.
Before...
I have to say YouTube.
Um...
Um...
It's not a big thing, but, uh...
I found that you changed one point at one point.
Oh, yeah?
Is that, um...
Now you are, like, caring a little more about your beauty.
Oh, yeah.
That's one thing that...
06:03
That changed.
You know, that changed before you started this, you know, YouTube TikTok thing.
Right.
And after that, right now.
Starting off with my line of fashion of, like...
Yeah.
Changing my fashion of, like, a little bit looser style...
Yeah, a little bit of...
...into, like, trying on a hair oil.
Yeah.
Now I'm putting sunscreen on because my...
I'm afraid that my skin might, like, be under the Shigai-San too much and just, like, my skin would die.
Yeah.
Like, that is very true.
Yeah.
But we'll see how long it'll last.
Right.
Right now, I'm in it.
It's a "what the mode of...?"
But, like, the YouTube...
Exactly.
How long do you think it's gonna last kind of game?
So, that's a...
That is a change.
Right.
Not, uh...
Not...
I...
I thought, um...
Like, uh...
Trolls?
Trolls?
Trolls...
Like, huge monster...
Trolls...
No, no, no, no, no. Trolls are...
I know the trolls.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's big and...
What are you talking about? I don't know what that is.
Trolls?
You don't know the trolls?
No.
The monsters...
The huge monsters, like, ugly, huge...
Those are called trolls?
Trolls, yeah.
T-R-O-L-L-S?
I think so.
Really?
No.
Okay.
Never.
What is...
What is your...
The one that I'm talking about is, like, "anchi" on the Internet.
Ah, trolls.
Trolls.
Okay.
It didn't affect me as much as I thought it would.
Ah, okay.
Is there, like, any trolls?
Oh, yeah, sometimes, yeah.
Oh, really?
Not many, but there are sometimes.
But it didn't...
I thought in the beginning that, like, relatively, I...
Not relatively, but, like, I am "hikakuteki" more...
That's relatively.
I'm relatively not care about the comments.
Okay.
But I actually didn't know what would happen if I actually got...
Of course.
Kind of like an attack, right?
From, like, the keyboard.
Yeah, like, shop was...
Right.
And once that happened, it didn't affect me as much as I thought it would.
It didn't really...
My emotions didn't move, so I thought that...
I found out that, hmm, my hypothesis are actually true.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, the things that I think about myself is not that off, is what I thought.
Yeah.
That's right.
Did you change anything?
Me?
Hmm.
Hmm.
Inside, right?
Yeah, inside.
Inside.
No, maybe.
09:02
Great.
But, you know, like, I think it was the same, but feeling like we can do actually anything we want.
Mm-hmm.
Like, you know...
Like, having a little more confidence on, like, everything, I mean...
Mm-hmm.
If you want to have something that you want to do and go to that and put your power and that can be realized.
Realize is to...
Remember that?
Realize is not...
You're not using it.
Really, you don't use that?
I don't think so.
Okay, okay.
Then we can make it happen.
Yeah.
So, that's what I learned from all these experiences.
So, that might be the changes, maybe.
But basically, I haven't been, I think...
Right.
At least in my opinion, I haven't been changed.
Right.
I love how many of your answers to questions of the podcast is like, "I don't have any."
I just love that.
It's just...
So, it's like a...
Yeah.
It's like a weakness and a strength at the same time, I feel like, you know?
You know, I have to have time and...
To remember, right?
Remember things.
Right.
So, I actually really...
Tell me the truth.
I'm really bad at speaking, actually.
It's not about English or Japanese.
I'm really bad at speaking.
But I'm good at writing.
Yeah?
Because I can have my time.
Okay, gotcha.
And maybe...
It's your own pace.
Yeah, yeah.
Right, right.
Interesting, actually.
I want to talk to you about that on the next episode.
Okay, all right.
All right, we'll see you in the next episode, guys.
Thanks for listening.
Thanks for listening.
