I can't!
Oh!
Kevin-san, Yamamoto-san, Konnichiwa!
Why does she think your name is Yamamoto?
How did that happen?
Where did that come from?
I don't know.
Kevin-san, Yamamoto-san, Konnichiwa!
Maybe on Taipao?
Maybe.
Okay.
Or...
Or she really thinks your name is Yamamoto.
Alright.
Okay.
So, Kevin-san, Yamamoto-san, Konnichiwa!
Konnichiwa!
Konnichiwa!
I always enjoy watching your podcasts.
I remember when I was in the UK, the English teacher who was in charge of me came to see me off to the airport and said "See you soon" on the last stop.
I remember being so moved that I almost cried.
On the last stop, "See you soon" is not only used in the UK but also in the US.
If you have a fancy greeting for the last stop, please let me know.
Oh. Wow.
Yeah.
I mean, saying "See you soon" is a thing in the US too.
You would say that.
Even though you're not knowing that it's, you know...
Yeah.
...will be long.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You would say that.
Like, if you have a bond, right?
If you're really...
If you really feel connected with that person, right?
And you feel like you will someday meet that person again or like you want to, right?
Then you would say.
That would make sense.
To say "See you soon."
Any cool way to say goodbye?
03:02
Yeah. A fancy way to say goodbye.
Fancy!
Yeah.
Like...

What do you think, Yamamoto?
Oh.
Yamamoto-san, what do you think?
Oh...
As in...
Um...
Perspective from Yamamoto?
Uh-huh.
Ciao.
Ah, ciao!
The last three is in English, you know.
That sounds cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I guess it's because it's not English.
It's good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's good, right?
Yeah.
I guess so.
All right, so this is from Chidejika-san.
Chidejika-san.
What?
Was that a character on TV?
Yeah.
Chidejika?
Because I...
I recognize it.
I'm Chidejika, a dead man who appeared like a comet on the TV about 10 years ago.
Yeah!
I remember you!
I've been listening to your past podcasts to get to know you better.
Thank you.
In the October 5th episode of 2020, you said you wanted to go to Kanazawa.
But Kanazawa is great!
I guess that's how Chidejika talks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The famous tourist attractions are of course attractive, but the riverbed on the other side is very beautiful,
and the street off the main street is full of old town people, so I think it's a fun city to walk around.
Wow.
Ah, for you, Kevin-kun, Kanazawa used to be a castle town, so the sweets are famous.
Of course, there are other delicious sweets besides Japanese sweets.
The famous one is the second most delicious freshly baked melon bread ice cream in the world.
06:04
Wow.
It's delicious with ice cream in the melon bread.
And the one called Kanazawa Oden is also very delicious because it has Kanazawa-style ingredients.
For more reasons than above, Kanazawa is good!
Please go and play when the corona is calm.
Yes, yes, Kanazawa is a rainy day, so don't forget your umbrella.
Thank you, Chidejika-san.
Thank you, Chidejika-san!
So, I don't know if he didn't do a very good job building the character, or...
Yeah, because he wrote, like, in a sentence, "I'm Chidejika!"
"I'm Chidejika!" And at the same time, "I think it's a town."
Ah, "the town under the castle."
There's an old castle.
And around it...
And I think there's...
The surroundings of the... like, the vicinity of the...
...oshiro, there's...
There's... there's shops.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's... there's...
...shobai-nin.
That... yeah.
So, so, so...
You would find...
For example, like, what he said, the...
...okashiyasan.
Or, like, okome.
Or, like, yasai.
You could find those things, I feel like.
And it's... it's... it's... um...
It's the tokai.
Okay.
I think it's the tokai of the city.
That's my guess.
Okay, so, "jouka machi" means "tokai."
Yeah.
Okay.
No?
Um...
Not necessarily the tokai.
Okay.
Like, you know...
Like, Tokyo Tokai.
It means just...
There were... a castle.
Oh, that's it?
Yeah.
Oh.
And they... they... they...
And there is still... a castle.
Oh.
So, is it likely that they have stores around?
Yeah.
Okay.
Which is quite old.
09:01
Uh-huh.
You know, those stores have been there for a long time.
Right.
Right.
So, it's not like huge modern tokai, but it's little...
Old-style Japanese.
Old-style, and little shops around there.
Got it.
Got it.
And... yeah.
It's aesthetic.
Yeah.
Very...
The link is good.
Yeah.
And everything.
And in the Edo Jidai, you know...
In Edo Jidai was pretty huge city and...
Oh, okay.
You know, all the money and all the power were at that castle and around the castle, so...
Yeah.
So, you know, culturally, pretty...
It holds power.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
So, those wagashi, traditional wagashi, so like, you know, those stores.
That... it was there.
Yeah.
Have you been to Kanazawa?
No.
Ever after that you've been?
No.
No, no, no, no.
I've never been to Kanazawa either.
After listening to that, like, you know, it's a good place for sample too.
I'm kind of interested in going there.
Yeah.
There's an ancient Japanese really...
You love those roads.
Yeah, I probably would.
It's like Kyoto.
Yeah, it's like Kyoto.
Yeah.
It said "Shokyoto."
Oh, really?
Yeah.
It's closer to Kanazawa from here than to Kyoto, right?
Yeah, yeah.
A little bit maybe?
Yeah, we can go by a train.
Okay.
Tokyu-densha from Kyoto.
It's easier.
Yeah.
Got it.
Okay.
All right.
Thank you, Chidejiko-san.
It is on my "let's go to this place somewhere" list.
Okay.
Yeah, Kanazawa.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I actually saw a TV show on Kanazawa, like, the other day.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I actually saw a TV show on Kanazawa, like, the traveling program.
Okay.
Kanazawa.
6...
6...
6-yen shop?
6-yen shop?
Yeah.
6-yen shop.
It was like a garden or something, right?
Yeah, yeah.
It was like a beautiful garden, right?
Yeah.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Like a good stroll around menu.
Yeah.
The street.
Yeah.
That's a street.
Oh, the aesthetic street.
Yeah.
The really good looking...
Yeah.
Okay, got it.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, thank you for introducing that to us.
Thank you, Chidejiko-san.
All right, it's time to...
Yeah, thank you.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Wow, his profile picture is a Chidejiko.
Yeah.
All right, thanks for listening, guys.
Bye-bye.
