Was it you who posted the ad picture?
Ad picture?
The podcast ad on the Shibuya...
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You mean on my Instagram?
Yeah, the Instagram.
Yeah.
All three's Instagram?
Oh, no, no, no. My Instagram.
Your Instagram?
Oh, so as a post, I put out my face and the background.
This is Shibuya's Shibuya ad.
That's a post.
And on Stories...
Yeah, Stories.
Instagram Stories, it's the three of us.
This is a count.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
So that's what I see.
Okay, got it, got it.
And there are so many replies to that stories.
Like, wow, congratulations.
That's a huge one.
That's a big deal.
Wow, that's super.
You're getting bigger.
Yeah.
And...
It is.
Yeah.
Let's talk about that.
Yeah.
So for those of you who don't know what we're talking about...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, true.
So we're doing a podcast.
There you go.
And we're also doing an exclusive version of the podcast on Amazon Music.
That's what it is.
Yeah.
The Amazon Music Platform.
And on the Amazon Music Platform, there's a podcast section.
We're doing an exclusive podcast show.
Yeah.
On that, we're calling it the Kevin's English Stream Podcast Plus.
Plus.
And kindly, Amazon's letting us use the studio here.
That's why this logo's here.
Yeah.
And Amazon...
Amazon was...
I don't know if they own it or like if they're renting it or something.
But like they had the chance to advertise on the Shibuya's...
Nani?
The Denshi...
Yeah, the screen.
The Denshi screen.
Like, you know how there's a fuckload of screens, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And on one of them, Amazon got to advertise it.
And we were in it on that one.
That's amazing.
Yeah.
If you...
Yeah.
By the time this is published, it's already deleted from probably Instagram stories.
But if you go to my account, I have my picture of my...
Yeah.
Yeah, my face in the background is Kevin's English Stream Podcast Plus.
That's the name of the program.
That show's being advertised on there.
So...
True.
We were like, "Wow."
That's amazing.
Because those places are like the places for the, you know, famous movies out.
Exactly.
Or like huge singers promoting or like idols.
Exactly.
Those places, you know.
Oh.
You know, I...
When I was a very young little...
03:00
Yeah.
A Rome, Georgia kid, I used to look at pictures of Shibuya and, you know, the pictures of like...
True.
The...
Scramble.
The Scramble and Cross thing.
Yeah.
And I was like, "Oh, wow.
This is such a lovely, beautiful...
Yeah.
...place." This is so cool.
It's Tokyo.
Yeah, it's so Tokyo.
It's so cool.
And I got to see myself on, like, in that environment, right?
I was a part of it.
That was...
Literally a part of it.
Exactly.
Like someone could be taking a photo at that moment where we were on the screen.
True.
And some kid in Rome, Georgia could be looking at that picture and be like, "Oh, I loved, man.
I wish I could be in Shibuya."
Yeah.
Right?
And I...
It's so, like...
I don't know.
It's just a...
It's a big moment.
It's a big moment, you know?
True.
Yeah.
It was a...
Right.
Oh, that's like beyond...
Kind of beyond the dream come true.
Because your dream was live in that city.
Yeah.
But now you are on that screen.
I became part of the city.
Yeah.
Oh, that's amazing.
Which is...
Yeah, it's a big moment.
Yeah.
Big, big moment.
Wow.
Yeah.
No words for that.
Yeah.
That's the biggest deal we've ever had.
I know.
Yeah.
Wow.
So did you go to the Shibuya scrambled closing and wait for a moment?
Yeah.
They told me that... My manager told me it was like once every 25 minutes.
Yeah.
20 or 25.
So I waited there.
And I think I waited like 15 or something.
Okay.
Yeah.
And then it popped up.
And I was... Yeah, I was freaking out.
Wow.
Yeah.
I'm going to go to their place after this.
Yeah.
Yeah, I should check it out.
Yeah.
It started from...
Wait.
The dates.
Last week?
Yes.
Last week... 13th.
It started on the 13th of April.
And it's going to end on the 19th.
Okay.
Which is tomorrow.
Oh.
Yeah, it's going to end tomorrow.
Yeah.
I hadn't had a chance, you know, to come to the Shibuya for a week, so...
Yeah.
But finally, I can visit that and see that.
Yeah.
It'll be so exciting.
Yeah.
Do you know which one?
Do you know which screen?
The left one.
Yes, the left one.
When you... Right.
Somehow I understand that.
Like when you...
The Inokashira-san.
Yeah.
Yeah, true.
Homen.
When you get the train from JR lines, and you go to the Hachiko-san,
06:05
and if you see the crossing from the Hachiko-san, then you can see the left.
Yes, exactly.
Left upper one.
That's it.
Okay, that's it.
Yeah.
I've never expected this.
Me too.
Yeah.
Me neither.
Here's one.
So, thank you Amazon.
That's true.
For, you know, making this happen.
Yeah.
The little Kevin...
From Rome, Georgia.
From Georgia.
He would have never expected this to happen.
Yeah.
He would be so surprised.
I know.
If he...
He would be.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like 10 years, or 20 years maybe?
Yeah.
20 years later from now on, you will be...
On that screen.
On that screen.
Man, Jesus.
Wow.
Yeah.
Amazing.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
That's what I, you know, wanted to share.
Uh-huh.
And wanted to hear from you.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Amazing.
Do you go to Shibuya often or no?
Not often.
You too, actually?
Yeah.
If you haven't listened to the recording, I came to Shibuya.
Mm-hmm.
But other than that, I don't...
Yeah.
You know.
It's true.
Basically, I don't have any typical things that I need to do in Shibuya, so...
Yeah.
Yeah.
The young energy.
Yeah.
It's sometimes a little, "Oh."
You don't...
Oh, you don't enjoy that?
See, there are some people that are like kind of disrespectful towards people that are like on TikTok.
True.
Like they start like pointing cameras at you.
Oh, really?
Which is not very comfortable, right?
Of course.
I've had this experience.
So like...
Of course not.
I'm kind of like traumatized with like the younger people like everywhere.
Like...
So I don't come to Shibuya that often.
Go to Shibuya that often.
Yeah.
But...
You avoid coming to the places.
Yeah.
Okay.
I would kind of tend to like stay away from like the main streets, even if I...
Yeah, that's why you...
You know, after this recording, we sometimes go to the station together.
Yeah.
But on the way, you go to the different ways.
Yeah.
You choose the different way, which is...
Yeah.
You know, narrow one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I do that sometimes.
Oh, yeah.
That's...
That's sad, kind of.
It's true.
Yeah.
It's true.
Yes, I myself enjoy the vibe of the town.
Yeah.
The young vibes, energetic.
Yeah.
So many crowded people.
You know, looking fun.
09:01
Yeah.
I used to like it.
Yeah.
But it changed.
That's sad if you don't enjoy that.
Yeah.
Wow.
But if it's like at night, or like if I have like a hat on, like it's so much harder to like...
Yeah.
Like identify.
You noticed.
It's so much like enjoyable.
Yeah.
True.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
I sometimes come to this crossing.
Yeah.
For no reason, but just enjoy the, you know, views and...
Uh-huh.
See what people are up to.
Energy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sometimes just strolling around and...
Yeah.
I do feel like strolling, like if you're like people watching, I feel like Shibuya is one of the most interesting cities to do it.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
There's so many cute, funny, sometimes strange...
Yeah.
...moments.
...things.
Yeah.
Happen in the city.
I get that.
Yeah.
All right.
True.
All right.
Well, I'm not sure if this episode will be published.
Yeah.
Probably a week from now.
So it's probably...
Okay.
...when everyone's hearing this, it's already gone.
Okay.
So sad for that.
Yeah.
Sorry for that, but...
Anyways.
But yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
