Welcome to Kevin's in this room podcast!
Hey!
Hi guys!
Is it... what?
Oh, what? No, oh, uh oh. Yep.
It's a great day.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Very sunny, like...
Yes.
Great day.
I was gonna do the, uh, wash my clothes.
Put it in the washing machine and then I was gonna dry it outside.
Yeah?
But I didn't make it.
Oh.
I woke up like 10 minutes after I should have woken up.
Okay.
And then I ran to the station so I couldn't do anything.
Yeah, I was gonna wake up like two hours earlier than that.
Yeah.
But, nah.
Okay.
That didn't work.
That never works in the morning.
True.
Have your sleeping improved?
Um, yeah, I am, uh...
The, um...
The eye mask...
Yeah.
Is...
It just keeps coming off.
Ah.
Even if I'm getting it tight...
Really?
It's not staying.
How do you sleep?
Like, you move around maybe?
Yeah, I guess I'm moving around a lot.
I'm just rolling.
Like, shaking your head.
Rolling around in bed.
Um, so now my solution is to get a curtain, right?
But, however, I may move.
I may, though.
Wow.
That's a may.
That depends on...
I have a person, a friend of mine who's a friend of mine.
Yeah.
Um, that has...
That can rent me a building.
Rent me a room.
Really?
That guy, this person, he's an ojisan.
Ah, okay.
Right.
A friend of my father.
Yeah.
Okay.
Uh, has a...
Has a building.
Wow.
And it has...
It's got...
He can kind of, uh...
Rent it directly from...
I can rent it directly from him.
Yeah.
And I'm negotiating.
Wow.
Right now.
But...
Where is that?
Uh...
I can't tell you.
Right.
Why?
Well, somewhere in Tokyo.
Okay.
The main part of Tokyo.
Wow.
Really?
Right.
And I am trying to rent it as cheap as I can.
Yeah.
That's what you love about.
Yeah.
That's what I love about.
Wow.
Um...
So...
Wow, that's nice.
I'm...
I might get a no.
Okay.
But, you know, I might get a yes, right?
And if I get a yes, I'm gonna move out.
Yeah.
Uh, ASAP.
So, a certain amount of money.
Yeah.
I'm gonna move out.
I'm gonna move out.
ASAP.
So, as soon as next month.
Oh, really?
That soon?
Yeah.
So, I'm...
I'm...
I'm putting a pause on the curtain.
Okay.
Okay.
Of course.
Curtain project.
Yeah.
Wow.
Really?
Yeah.
So, what is the new city?
Uh, right.
Didn't I just tell you that I can't say that publicly?
You know?
I don't know if you're getting it, but I can't say that.
Oh, why?
Uh, because...
Because that's a private information that I don't give out.
So, easily to the public.
That would be uncomfortable.
Right?
Wow.
I have a question.
03:00
Where do you live right now?
Where are we right now?
Tell me the city where you're at.
Right?
Wow.
But that's nice.
Nice.
You have a great friend.
Yeah.
We can...
We can...
Absolutely.
Wow.
Absolutely.
Nice.
I'm appreciative if he lets me live there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm appreciative if he lets me live there.
Yeah.
With the price that I...
Yeah.
Desire.
How much is that?
Uh...
Obviously, it's the main city in Tokyo, right?
It would be like more than 10...
I mean...
Jyuman-e.
Uh-huh.
Or like those high expensive rent, huh?
My negotiation price is...
Nanamaya.
Okay.
Hahaha.
Hahaha.
Hahaha.
Well, yeah.
It's...
Yeah.
Decent.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean...
Of course, it's not cheap.
Yes.
Because Nanamaya is a kind of big deal for us.
But still, think about it.
It's in the central city in Tokyo.
Yes.
Then, you know, average could be like more than Jyuman-e.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
So if you can win like Nanamaya, that's...
That's awesome, right?
Yeah.
Great job.
Yeah.
So you never know what would happen.
But...
Yeah?
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm going for it.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
Cool.
Wish me luck.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Is that kind of a tower mansion?
No.
Not those things?
No, nothing fancy like that.
Okay.
It's like a very usual...
The usual apartments.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
Wow, that's nice.
My sister actually used to live there.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
She rented an apartment from him as well.
And...
Right.
The price that she got was Jyuman-e.
Oh, okay.
So you're trying to cut San-mayan?
Yes.
Okay.
Exactly.
Right.
Do you have any like the proof, I mean, the "konkyo" of Nanamaya?
No.
No?
It's just you're saying...
Yeah, I'm just saying it.
I'm just saying if I don't find a house that's above...
If I don't find a house that's below Nanamaya, I'm not moving.
Okay.
That's all I'm saying.
It's either you take it or you don't.
Okay.
Okay.
And yeah.
Okay.
Let's hope that you can rent the house.
It doesn't feel like a "here's the reason why it's Nanamaya" kind of thing because it's
a friend of my father.
So it's more like "onegai shimasu" "can you do that please?"
I'll be grateful if you would...
It's a kindness.
It's a kindness thing.
True.
06:00
It's not a battle.
It's not a...
Yeah.
It's a friendship.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
So.
Yeah.
Let's hope.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
So moving to the new city then?
Yeah.
If this goes well, I am.
It will be much more comfortable.
Yeah.
I told you before that I have a university near my house and it's really kind of...
You know.
Yeah.
Like party.
Yeah.
Every night party atmosphere.
Yeah.
That's really...
Which is not...
Which is kind of...
You know.
Kind of annoying.
Yeah.
Kind of.
Kind of annoying.
Yeah.
And it's a little bit far from my station as well.
Okay.
So I would appreciate an upgrade.
Okay.
Is there no university near...
No.
New place?
No?
I think it's more of a business kind of area.
Okay.
Yeah.
No party.
No party.
No drinking, dancing, singing.
Nothing like that.
Yeah.
Right.
And the station is near from your place?
Yeah.
Oh, that's nice.
Yeah.
I think it's pretty near.
Oh.
Yeah.
Which station is that?
Yeah.
You know.
I could tell you but you know I might...
I don't think I'm going to be comfortable.
We can do it off camera.
You know.
Okay.
But I don't know.
Not right now, right?
Because you know people are listening in the air.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Oh, that's nice then.
Upgrading your living place.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hopefully.
So next month I could you know give you kind of a...
The place.
The result of how the negotiation went.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Please send the address and...
Phone number.
Right.
You want that address to go public, don't you?
You want my house to be in public, don't you?
Well, yeah.
So that everyone can visit you.
Say hello.
Say thank you.
That's cool.
Thank you.
That's cool.
That's nice.
That's not that nice.
Bringing some presents maybe.
That's a...
Maybe some letters.
Privacy.
Yeah.
You know.
That's a problem with privacy.
But yeah.
Looking forward for that.
Nice.
That's nice.
That's a big thing.
Big change.
That big change.
Yeah.
City.
I've been changing houses like almost every year.
Wow.
Like I live about one year and then I change.
Really?
The same goes with my job too.
Like or arbaitos.
09:00
Arbaitos was much worse.
It was more like half a year than I changed.
But like for my first...
I was like a year.
Exactly a year.
Then Starbucks I was like three months short of a year.
Okay.
Right.
And I changed.
Then the cafe was probably about a year.
I sold it to my kohai.
Wow.
Well, this thing's been going on for long.
But you know, so far if you look at the past, you know, besides this what I'm doing right
now, it's been a year.
Wow.
Also, what I said earlier about the place where I live, I live a year then I move.
I've done that.
You know how many addresses I have?
I have like eight in Japan that I've lived.
That's a lot.
That's a lot.
Okay, that eight was a little too much.
It was like five.
Okay.
Still though, still five is a lot, right?
Yeah.
From high school.
From high school.
High five.
Yeah.
Five places.
Wow.
But every time you change your job, you change places.
Yeah.
The new place.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Wow.
You love changing places.
I do love changing places.
Oh, you love changing places?
I do.
I do.
Okay.
I get I want it's fun to be in a new city.
For me.
Yeah.
I understand that.
So like, I felt like like monthly apartments would do so well.
And changing it like every month?
Yeah.
Wow.
So fun for me.
Well, yeah.
That's nice.
Uh huh.
You are like traveling people.
Yeah.
And rent like a garage.
Okay.
You know, and put all my stuff there.
Oh, yeah.
And just carry a backpack and move around the city.
Nice.
Do you have many things?
I do.
Oh, you do?
I do.
So it's kind of hard to move Hikoshi.
Yeah.
Okay.
But I can get rid of it.
I can make efforts to get rid of it though.
So that you can easily move to a new place.
Yeah.
What I really need isn't that much.
Okay.
I have a lot of it.
Wow.
All right.
Oh, yeah.
Wait for the news then.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yes.
Be excited for that.
Yeah.

Thank you.
Bye bye.
Bye!
