Yep.
Isn't that too far from your boss?
No.
Like it's far away and also like hidden by this food.
Oh.
Really?
Okay.
How about this?
How about this?

Hello.
My name is Azu.
I've sent you a few messages, but I haven't had the chance to read them.
I thought it would be nice if you could read them this time, so I'm re-uploading them.
Congratulations.
It was my birthday last week, so I hope you can read them.
Mm-hmm.
Happy late birthday.
When was it? March?
Yeah, March.
Yeah, it's late.
Yeah, yeah.
Two months?
One month.

That's cute.
How do you do your ABCs?
Well,
I haven't been
taught this song.
Ah, okay.
So you don't have a...
your own way?
Yeah, like when I was a kid.
Mm-hmm.
But one that I know is
♪ Now I know my ABCs ♪
♪ Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ♪
Something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mine was ♪ Now I know my ABCs ♪
So,
LMNLP was, you know,
put together.
Yeah.
And
yeah, that was my
one.
Mm-hmm.
I think mine was the same
Oh, really?
as yours.
I remember singing LMNLP.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
So they're all together.
Okay.
Yeah.
What about the last part?
The last part, I actually,
I think I've forgotten.
Okay.
Um,
I didn't know that.
Now,
♪ Now I know my ABCs ♪
♪ Next time won't you sing with me? ♪
Yeah.
I think I remember that.

Next time, I want you to sing with me.
Is that not the one?
See, I don't remember on that one.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, but I remember singing something.
Yeah.
But, yeah.
True.
Yeah.
It's a little difficult for Japanese elementary kids to sing.
Yeah.
If it's like, "ELEMENTOBURI."
"ELEMENTOBURI."
"ELEMENTOBURI."
Yeah, that's difficult.
And also the, "Next time, I want you to sing with me."
That's so difficult.
True.
Right?
But that's, you know, they just catch the sound.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
So, do you or like do American kids sing this song?
Yeah.
Oh.
They do.
But I think the way they sing it is, I think it depends on the country or...
Okay.
...taught by whomever.
Mm-hmm.
Right? It depends.
Okay.
So, they sing to learn these alphabets?
Yeah, I think so.
To memorize?
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
♪ NEHAFUBEYA ♪
Oh.
Yeah.
Can you...
There was this TikTok that was kind of interesting.
Mm-hmm.
That like, even native speakers don't know where, for example, "K" comes in.
Like...
What do you mean?
If I tell you like, "Okay, what letter comes before R?"
Okay.
How fast can you do it?
P, Q, Q.
Q, exactly.
You have to sing the song, right?
Yeah.
The joke was that everyone has to sing the song in order for them to like, remember like, which comes which.
I can't do it too.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah, go ahead.
So, what's the letter after O?
O.
P.
Oh, that's...
Sorry, that was easy.
Yeah, you gotta choose somewhere that's like a little bit more...
Okay.
What's the letter before the K?
Before what?
K.
K?
S, E, D, E, H, I.
09:00
J.
Right, I have to do the song.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
That's funny.
Yeah, see, no one can remember everything.
Wow.
Like, the order.
Yeah.
That's funny.
Yeah, I know, right?
In that video, no one could do that?
That was a joke.
It wasn't like an experiment.
It was more like a joke of like, a non-native speaker.
Mm-hmm.
Right?
And then like an English speaker.
Yeah.
And the non-native speaker was like singing the ABC song.
And the native speaker was like, "Why are you singing that song?
It's for little kids."
Yeah.
And he was like, "Oh, I don't know which one... which comes which."
Mm-hmm.
What?
That's so easy.
Everyone knows.
Yeah.
And then he goes, "Okay, then what's before K?"
Mm-hmm.
And then he was like, "Yeah, that's easy."
ABC, ABC, ABC.
That was a joke.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay, but that's, you know, includes certain amount of truth, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think it's definitely true.
You also don't remember the order.
Yeah.
Especially if it's like before K.
Yeah.
If it's after K, it's somewhere somewhat kind of easier, I guess.
Okay.
Let's do that.
All right.
All right.
All right.
What's the letter after S?
T.
Oh, wow.
What about after... after... after... R?
T.
No.
Oh, wait, wait.
R. R. Wait.
S.
Yes.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
What about after J?
K.
I have to run it through.
Yeah.
Wow.
Wow.
I guess it doesn't make a difference, you know, if it's before or after.
You still have to sing the song.
Okay.
Wow.
Interesting, right?
Interesting.
It's interesting.
It's... yeah, we use alphabet so many times, but we just don't know the order.
Wow.
Right?
So, that's kind of interesting.
It's funny.
Right?
Okay.
Thank you for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
Okay, thank you for listening guys. Thank you. Bye bye.
