Flawless.

Very flawless.

I'm trying to right now...
Learn the length of each part with my fingers.
So that when it gets longer, I can replicate it by myself.
Yeah, that's great.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I kind of understand and I can see the differences.
Okay.
Between the professionals and you.
But actually...
Yeah.
I look like my hair cut better.
Really?
Yeah.
Really?
I do.
Oh, I can't say this out loud.
Yeah.
But I like my own hair cut better.
Yeah, really?
Yeah.
You sang it in a third podcast.
Well, I'm saying it quietly.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
So it's like the same as the last time you had a...
Oh, yeah.
You had a haircut and you had a costume on it.
I was in a makeup thing.
Makeup thing.
Yeah.
Great.
Right.
Great.
How was the shooting?
The shooting was...
It was like just like last time.
It was smooth and...
Okay.
With the same guy?
Yeah.
Yep.
Yep.
Okay.
Same stylist.
Okay.
Ryo-san.
What?
Ryo-san.
Okay.
And they...
This is same as last time.
They wanted me to do this face expression that like all the models do.
Okay.
I couldn't do it.
"Can you try this, Kevin-san?"
I tried it.
I was like, "Okay, we'll move on.
Let's do the next one.
We'll do the next one."
What kind of face was that?
Okay.
It's like...
What kind of face was that?
Okay.
You can't really explain it.
Okay.
It's like a...
So it's...
Your body's a little bit tilted forward.
03:01
Okay.
And then your face is like a little bit tilted to the side.
Okay.
And you have this look.
Okay.
I don't know what look it's called but like it's got this like...
If I were to give it some lines on him, he would be saying things like,
"What are you trying to do?"
That's what he's saying.
That's the kind of facial expression he has on.
Okay.
It's like a bit aggressive.
It's a bit aggressive.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I would say aggressive.
Okay.
Explains it better.
Yeah.
That's the kind of facial expressions that was required for me to do but I was not able to do it.
Okay.
Wow.
And then you just slowly just quietly moved on.
That's funny.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yep.
So again, the magazine will be published in like...
Yeah, probably like four months or so.
It's going to be a long time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm probably not even supposed to say this right now but I took...
Oh, sorry.
It's okay.
Yeah, really like...
Yeah.

All right.
Great.
Your hair is really straight today.
I mean...
Really?
Yeah.
I got...
I wear my cap today.
Okay.
Yeah.
I went to a bar yesterday last night.
Wow.
Really fancy one.
Like the authentic...
Yeah.
The bar.
The bar in a hotel.
Oh, damn.
Yeah.
Wow.
It was just a fun experience, you know.
So tell me about it.
Tell me about it.
Yeah.
It was my friend who is living in New York right now and working in New York.
Oh, okay.
Manhattan.
Wow.
Cool.
Yeah.
Wow.
You know, he's coming to Japan right now and staying for like about two weeks in Japan
and meeting so many, you know, friends and that kind of touring.
Okay.
Japanese?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
And then so we met and went, you know, dinner together and had, you know, conversation and
then it's really rare timing that we can meet together and have conversation together.
So we wanted to do something fun together.
Yeah.
And why not going to like those fancy bars together and let's do that and went to that.
One of the finest bar in Tokyo.
Oh, wow.
The finest hotel in Japan, you know, and tried enter like sneak in like looking around.
Yeah.
We enter this building and we entered and yeah, there are one like not really big one,
06:05
but it's like this little bit bigger than this room.
Okay.
The size of the bar.
Yeah.
And there were like huge counter table and inside the bartender's like, yeah, things
like that with all the bottles.
Yeah.
Crazy amount of like expensive bottles, which I never know what is and yeah, that was quite
an experience and and it's actually been a while that I haven't drunk.
Oh, you took alcohol?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
So I'm like, it's fuzzy today.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I'm like, got all tipsy and everything.
Yeah.
Tipsy.
Yes.
Yeah.
You're not much of a drinker to begin with anyways, right?
Not at all.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I can't.
My body doesn't resist at all to those alcohols.
What did you drink?
Okay.
Yeah.
I had a had a fig, a cocktail with fig.
Fig?
Yeah.
F-I-G?
F-I-G.
Yeah.
Ichijiku.
A cocktail of fig and berries inside together.
Fig is Ichijiku?
Yeah.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Okay.
Yeah.
Ichijiku and berries cocktail.
Yeah.
That was that the special like seasoned special one for that.
This season, I guess.
Oh, yeah.
Was it good?
I mean, yeah, of course.
That's when I know that it wasn't good.
That I mean, explains everything.
Yeah, but that was good.
Okay.
I mean, I'm not a professional at all about those alcohols.
I can't tell the differences from the cheap, you know, you know, that.
Got it.
Like the ones you find at the grocery store.
Yeah.
I mean, that's different.
Okay.
The ones you can we can find a supermarket is different, but I'm not sure what was inside.
Okay.
You know, I taste the fig, of course, but what was like the bar bone or was gin or, you
know, whiskey, maybe?
I have no idea.
Okay.
Yeah.
Was it strong?
To me?
Yes.
Okay.
You tasted that alcohol flavor?
That alcoholness?
Actually, not that much.
Okay.
I guess it was strong because I didn't feel the alcoholness.
The taste of it, but.
Yeah, but.
Your body.
Suddenly.
Yeah.
Reacted.
Yeah.
So.
Okay.
But tastily, that was nice.
Yeah.
It was sweet.
It was like, it was like expensive, you know, fresh mixed juice.
So, so it was a little bit different from the one we can find the canned Choo Hai.
09:02
But.
Yeah.
What was the second one?
Did you have a second drink or anything?
A glass of water.
Rock.
Straight.
Four or five glasses of.
That's a lot.
That's a lot of water.
Rock, you know.
But rock.
Yeah.
The bar style.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like in the fancy, you know, glass.
I say you.
And say fancy.
Okay.
Yeah.
Did you have your friend order?
Did you drink a lot or?
Different one.
That was something like Kyoho.
You know, those things, you know, seasonal.
Like Kyoho.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Those, you know, like the fancy.
Right.
The cocktail glass.
Yeah.
You drink like that.
Like that.
Yeah.
Did you talk to the bartender?
Yeah, we did.
Did you have like a friendly conversation?
Yeah, we did.
What did you talk about?
About the cocktail itself.
Okay.
Like, you know, he explained to us, you know, what is inside and what is, you know, the
details and, you know, the histories of everything.
And we were like, yeah, that's what I thought.
Okay.
Look cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was funny.
But that's it?
Nothing more?
No, nothing more.
Nothing more private or nothing like that?
No, no, no.
Okay.
That was quite an experience and fun.
And you must enjoy that because it felt really like Tokyo.
Okay.
Yeah.
So you should...
Like the shininess.
Yeah.
Like the, you know, the buildings, buildings, buildings.
Okay, I like that.
I like that.
Authentic, you know, Japanese style.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's good.
That's good.
Yeah.
And also there are so many foreign people came to that bar.
Right.
Trying to do Japanese sake.
Okay.
Like sake cocktails.
I don't know.
But yeah.
Were the employees nice?
Yeah.
Yes?
Yeah.
But...
Is there next time?
But, you know, they were busy kind of, I guess.
So...
It wasn't like a relaxing kind of...
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
We were relaxed, but they're not, you know, they're always, you know, things to do.
So yeah.
But yeah.
Overall experience out of five stars.
Yeah.
What would you rate?
And would you come back again?
Four.
That's pretty high.
Yeah.
That's pretty high.
I would love to visit there again.
Once in a year.
Okay.
Yeah.
Or like...
Because it's expensive.
Okay.
How much was the bill, if you remember?
One cocktail, 2000, 2005.
Wow.
That's pretty expensive.
You know, those.
Yeah.
12:00
So I can visit there like daily every...
Yeah.
You know.
You don't even like alcohol.
No.
It was just an experience in the atmosphere and the things like...
So it was fun.
Okay.
But...
And highly recommend to you.
Okay.
Yeah.
If I want to feel the authentic...
Yeah.
Like high Tokyo, high class Tokyo, then I might go there.
You should.
Yeah.

Yeah.
Okay.
Got it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right.
I understand.
Yeah.
Try that.
Thank you.
So yeah, no.
I mean, what I wanted to tell you is just I'm kind of a little bit tipsy.
Right now?
Yeah.
Wait.
You don't feel that?
Not at all.
Okay.
So you have a hangover right now still?
I mean, what's tipsy then?
Tipsy is like horoyoi?
Ah.
No, then.
I mean...
You have...
You have a bit tired, kind of.
Oh, so like after a futsukayoi, kind of.
I guess so.
I mean...
Wow.
I mean, it must...
You take a long time with the system to really get out.
Yeah, yeah.
It's not like futsukayoi thing.
It's like my mouth kind of dried.
Oh, really?
I don't have headache at all or like, but feel a bit, you know, tired.
Oh, okay.
Well, because of, you know, you didn't...
You weren't used to drinking much alcohol lately.
Yeah, yeah.
Just suddenly boom.

Not yet.
Okay, great.

Now that you say it, maybe I kind of sense it.
Yeah, yeah.
