Really?
Do you smell something?
Yeah.
Wait.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
Are you serious?
I am serious.
Is it in your restaurant or cafe or something?
Well, yeah, there's a lot of in-shop tents here around, but I don't...
Are you serious?
Yeah, I'm serious.
It's pasta.
I guess.
03:00

Shit.
I smell one too.
Yeah.
Meat sauce?
Maybe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A little bit sweet smell.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I do understand.
The pasta-ish smell.
I wonder where it's coming from.
Yeah.
It smells nice.
Maybe different room?
Maybe?
Oh, yeah.
Maybe the next...
Next guy.
Yeah.
That smells nice.
I do.
I do smell this.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Wow.
I didn't think that I'd get the smell so...
I smell very much.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
Oh, nice.
Okay.
I'm sure that you've got so many restaurants around here.
Yeah, I do have a lot of restaurants around.
That's nice.
That's nice.
That's really interesting and awesome.
It is awesome.
I have a lot to discover.
Yeah.

And, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I have this little...
I actually want to go with you guys.
There's a Mexican...
Okay.
Mexican-American kind of ish place really close from here.
Nice.
They sell nachos.
They sell pulled pork sandwiches, hamburgers, pizza, all that stuff.
That's your place.
It's pretty casual.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think it's not that crowded as well.
Nice.
So maybe we can check that out if you're recording here.
Wow.
Cool.
Okay.
Yeah.
So Kanon-san is the first one on the list here.
Ready?
Yes.
Yoko-rasu-te itadai.
Oh.
Is that the same Kanon-san?
I think so.
Yeah.
Is that the same Kanon-san?
Kibin-san, Yama-chan-san.
That's the same Kanon-san.
Yeah.
I think we haven't done Pino-san yet.
Wait, wait, wait.
I think she was first.
Get that one.
Okay.
Konnichiwa.
Pina to moshimasu.
Yep.
I think that's it.
Okay.
Konnichiwa.
Okay.
Thank you.
06:03
Thank you so much.
I like it.
I like it.
You liked it?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was so sweet.
Yeah.
Sending us a voice message and all.
Thank you.
Is that what you liked about it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Thank you.
Yeah.
You okay, man?
Yeah, I'm okay.
You seem a little...
We can finish it.
Oh.
It was a nice false message, so.
Oh.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Finish the episode?
Yeah.
Yama-chan.
Don't be...
We're still...
We're going to talk about this, man.
We're going to talk about what she wanted us to talk about.
Sure, of course.
So, yeah.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Sure, of course.
So, yeah.
There we go.
Don't be all...
Okay.
Of course.
Full yet.
So...
Here we go.
Yeah, here we go.
Let's do this.
I agree.
With her?
Yeah.
I do think that I am smarter, and I do think that I am more...
I do think I'm smarter, more attractive, and more of a...
I feel like I'm more on top of the world.
What do you mean by that?
Okay.
What I mean by is I agree that your...
Don't voice gets lower.
I agree that your personality, characteristics, the feels, the vibe changes, right?
In English.
True.
Outgoing more...
Yes, I agree.
It's more outgoing.
It's more...
Yeah.
Yeah.
You express things in a different way.
True.
Right?
Well, because it's true.
Because the tool that you're using to communicate changes.
It's obvious that how you express it changes.
The whole system is different.
Exactly.
The logic really changes, right?
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
Right.
From me seeing you, like from the outside, when you speak in English, you sound much
more like intelligent.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you, Yamachan.
Man, I'm not saying that you are intelligent, guys.
Oh, shit.
Okay.
You're saying I just look more intelligent.
I'm not saying actual...
I'm actually not that intelligent.
You are.
Thank you.
But, you know, we gathered with some friends who speak in...
09:04
Also speak English.
Yeah.
And there was one girl who I've never actually heard.
She's like speaking in like real English conversation, actually.
And she sounds really like very much cooler than she speaks in Japanese, actually.
Who are you talking about?
Yukako.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'm just talking about her.
I've just heard speaking with her in English.
Yeah, you guys are speaking.
Right.
So, I didn't get that feel, but obviously you were really...
She's speaking Japanese, she's like a little like...
Okay, that's a little too much, though.
I don't know if she's like that.
It sounds like a little bouncing and high pitched and like speak not that like really
fast fast and like a little, you know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think you mentioned that in the several episodes before.
Oh, I said it?
Yeah.
Right, right.
You were like...
That's the same thing.
I'm saying the same thing right now.
Repeating the same story again.
Yeah.
It's embarrassing when you do that.
Yeah.
Right, right.
That's what I do.
Yeah, I'm also so used to speaking in English with you to the point that I kind of forgot
my impression of you.
Like again, the difference is when you speak in English and Japanese.
I mean, I sound really intelligent.
It doesn't matter which language I'm speaking.
I always sound intelligent.
So maybe you got confused a little bit.
Okay.
Yeah.
So you're always intelligent.
I always sounded.
Whether English or Japanese is what you're saying.
Okay.
Here we go.
Whatever you say.
Okay.
Yeah.
But I guess, I guess your voice is a little lower?
Like yes?
No?
Maybe a little bit.
What do you think?
A little bit.
But not that much actually.
I think it's not like changed that much.
Not as much as my English versus Japanese.
Yeah.
But I know when you're pronouncing little lower range, that sounds more fluent.
I think that's true.
Yeah.
So I should pronounce like a little lower.
In lower range so that I can sound more native.
Right.
The pronunciation sounds better.
So I should do that.
I don't know why that happens but it does.
12:00
Yeah.
And for me, it's actually easier when you speak in English.
It's easier to pronounce if you speak lower range.
I mean, yeah.
There's a certain point that you can lower in throat.
Easier to navigate the pronunciation with the lower point of your throat.
I think I understand that.
And especially that happens for those from the United States because you pronounce really
deep like R sound and R sound.
Use those deeper sound often.
I agree.
Yeah.
I agree.
And those are really difficult for people like me.
So I kind of avoid using those sound and try to sound like a little more light like British
way.
So that's why maybe I don't change the voice range that much.
Right.
But if I try to sound like American, I have to like lower a little bit and try to dig
in.
I see.
Makes sense.
Yeah.
Makes sense.
I like that.
I like that explanation.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, thanks for listening guys.
