Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast
Hey
Hello
The weather
What about it?
I mean, when I woke up this morning, I loved the weather
It was clear sunny, blue sky
I felt so good
It was around 8 when I woke up
And I just went outside and, you know, feel the breeze
And I felt so good
Wasn't it too hot?
Wasn't... I mean, it was hot, but it was good
You know, like, it felt good
Oh, really?
Yeah, it wasn't that hot
Not too humid?
Not too humid in the morning
But after that, you know, now it's like close to 11
And then when I come here
I was like, oh, I love this weather today
And I got out and it changed completely
Now it's like too hot and too humid
And it's like too heavy
And I feel like, oh, no, it's gone
Yeah, when I heard that, I was like, what are you talking about?
Like, it's not that, it doesn't feel that good
So you're talking about the morning
Yeah, the morning was very good
I felt so good
Should have felt the morning
Yeah
Didn't have the chance to, okay
Morning was great
It felt like, you know, summer
It's bright, but it's not
I mean, it was hot, though
But it's not, it wasn't this hot, you know
It was more or less humid
And, you know
But...
Man
It's gone
Yeah
It's gone
Yeah
I wonder how many...
Is this gonna be, like, long?
So, here comes the weatherman
Oh, wow
He's a professional
Here comes the weatherman
So, it looks like
The second half of August
Is gonna be the hottest
Right now, we still haven't gotten into the...
We're still in the first half, right?
Really?
The second half of August is gonna be hotter
I'm sorry to tell you this
I... Really?
That's what I said on the news
The second half of August is gonna be hotter
Because we're already, like, 37, 38
Yeah
And it's gonna be even hotter than this?
Yeah
Unfortunate, though, right?
It's gonna be hotter is what I heard on the news
What are we gonna do, man?
No
Really? Wow
I have not...
Nothing...
Nothing I can do
Nothing you can do
Yeah
Nothing you can do
Like, I'm a little bit scared
Because remember...
There was a earthquake
There was an earthquake, right?
And the Nankai...
And the Nankai Truffle, right?
03:00
Well, I did a little, like, YouTube video on it, right?
I was like, what is Nankai Truffle, right?
And so, right now, it's, like, a little bit higher percentage
Of, like, the other half kicking in
Yeah, yeah, yeah
This side, contour side
Of, like, the Nankai Truffle kicking in
A little bit higher percentage, right?
Yeah
Well, what if it hits and the electricity goes out?
We're fucking...
We're fucking dead, man
For sure
Yeah
Well, not to mention, earthquake itself is, you know, destructive, but, you know...
Yeah, but it's true
Like, I remember when we had a Higashi Nihon Dai Shinsai
Yeah
It was on March
So, it wasn't that hot
Like, it was even, like, cold
Right
And I was in high school
And everybody was evacuated into...
I went to the community place
Yeah
And it was rather cold
So, we got mofu and, you know, some, like, special, like, a sheet things
Yeah, like, to keep you warm, right?
Yeah, and we survived because of that, thanks to that
But if it's very hot like this
And we have to pack into one place
Yes
Man, it's...
It's disastrous
True
Yeah, it's pretty...
I didn't think about that, but yeah
Yeah, right
Shit, right
And, like, the...
Well, I don't think that the nuclear plant isn't affected
So, I don't think the Keikaku Tendon or anything like that might happen
But, like, if it were to happen
Yeah
If, like, the Keikaku Tendon were to happen around this, like, time
Yeah
It would be disastrous, you know?
In the hottest season in the year
Yeah
You have to shut all the electricity down
Yeah
That's true
Pretty scary
It's scary
Wow
Well, again, not to mention, earthquake itself is more scary
So, you know, hitting directly, you know
Being hit directly by the earthquake is a lot more scary, but yeah
You know, man
True
Oh, but you did some research on it
Oh, yeah, I got scared, man
Yeah
Oh, me too, yeah
I got scared of that
Yeah, yeah
The next day, we had a Jishin at Miyazaki
Yeah
I had a recording of the songs
Oh
Including water repellent
Oh, shit
And I was in a studio, like a music studio
Which was in, like, a Chika
Oh, okay
It was in Chika
Yeah
And we recorded one song and then
We were sitting in one space
Okay
With a speaker and we did a playback
Okay
We listened to what we recorded
Yeah
And then in the middle of the song
Oh, you know, all the alarm
Oh, the Keikyu Jishin soccer?
Yeah, like, vroom, vroom, vroom
And everybody was like
Because we were, like, too focused on the sound
Yeah
And suddenly, like, big noise came
And we were, like, freaking out
And then, whoa, and then
06:00
Engineer-san was, like, running to the studio
Yeah
And put out all the, you know, we had a drum and mics
And everything, like, stood like this
Yeah
So it was very dangerous
Right, because if it shook
Yeah, yeah
It would fall down
Yeah
So the engineer-san, he was, like, around 40, 50
Ojisan, he, like, died
Wow
Yeah
Like, running for his life
Like, very fast and dive into the studio
And, like, did everything and
What was he doing?
He basically, like, for example, we had, like, a
Sandwich things, like, many sandwich things
Yeah
So everything, he lay all those things
Because it has a very expensive microphone on top
I see
So lay down and all that
You know, and, like, yeah, those things
And we were, like,
And we went to, like, a ground floor altogether
Yeah
Because we didn't know what was it
Yeah
And then we, you know, searched and
Yeah
But, yeah, it was pretty scary
Yeah
Yeah
Right, right
Are you talking about the one in Kanagawa?
The Shingen was in Kanagawa?
I think so
It wasn't that, like, a huge after all
It was, like, three
Yeah, three full
Shindo, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
So we were, like, oh, okay
But, you know, it was just the next day from the Miyazaki's one
So we, you know, we thought it's, like
Yeah, right
Man
You think this studio is gonna be okay?
There's several things that
In that room, there's a lot of things that could fall, right?
For sure
Yeah
But we just, you know, shut the door
It's in that room
Yeah
Right
Well, I think in this room, we don't have
Especially right here, right?
There's really nothing to be scared of, right?
Yeah, yeah
Maybe just those lights
Lights, right, yeah, lights
It's not a big thing
The kitchen's a little
Yeah
The kitchen's a little, you know, got the fridge and the
Microwave and the
Tana
Right
How do we evacuate from here?
We gotta use the
There's a stair
Stair?
Right next to the elevator
Oh, yeah, true
Yeah
We gotta use that
That's the only one?
That's the only one
Okay
Yeah
I see
So what?
But it's very important to make sure where to
Like a
I know, right?
Yeah
I'm moving this month
So I was searching all the things
Like the hazard maps and shit
Yeah
Like where should I evacuate and stuff like that
True
Yeah
That's very
Yeah
Very important
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Do you prepare something like a
I've actually always had a
Hinan bag
I kind of I updated it
Oh great
Yeah
Great
Yeah
What did you
What do you have inside the bag?
I have inside this
09:01
So light
Slash radio
Slash like global battery
Like yeah, you spin it
And it like kind of recharges
And it also has like a
Sunlight
Energize
What do you call those?
Like a
Solar power
Okay
On top
Well that one
Yeah
I got a
Pair of clothes
Like underwear
T-shirt
Socks
Gloves

That's right
Ear plugs
Oh
Like you know
If I were to go to
Hinan Jail
Right
And sleep
If it's too loud
And an eye mask
Ah
Uh
What do I also have in there?
I think I have a
Cling wrap
Cling wrap
You know saranapu
Wow
Yeah they say cling wrap's really useful
Oh really
Yeah
For what?
For like taking a shit
You know
You can like seal your shit
Oh
So it doesn't smell
Wow
Or you can cling wrap your toilet
So you can pee and not get dirty
Wow
Yeah
Or like you can wrap
Osara
And then like you don't have to wash it
Without water
True
Yeah
They say cling wrap works
Wow
Um
Some plastic bags
Mm-hmm
For some random shit
Right
Yeah
Um
What else do I have in there?

Right
Yeah and cash
I don't have cash in it so

I should put it in
For
Yeah
Wow
But when you think about it
Like
Like what I really simulated
Yeah
I don't know how much of that I'm gonna need
Okay
And you know
All these information I found on the internet
They're not location specific you know
Okay
Like I feel like
When you live on the coastal side of like
Inaka where most buildings are like
Wooden made
Yeah
Versus like me living in central Tokyo
Where most buildings are RC
Mm
You know
Tekkinogurido
Yeah
Something like that
Very different
Mm
Structural integrity
Yeah
So
12:00
Like I feel like the danger that I have
Is a little different from you know
I mean I'm sure
That my Hinanjo is gonna be very close
Mm-hmm
Not like when you compare it to some
Mm
You know
Very countryside
Mm-hmm
So
I feel like that's gonna be a little different you know
Yeah
So
True
Yeah
I am feeling like I need to like localize
My Hinanjo stuff
Yeah
True
Wow
But
Preparedness is very important so
Yeah
Right
True
I have to recheck my bag again
Yeah
After this recording
Right
Yeah
Yeah
I'm sure the foods are expired
You know
That's right
My food was all expired
My water was expired actually
Wow
Yeah I mean
I didn't even know water had an expiration date
True
When it was expired
So you should check it
Yeah you should check it
Maybe it's true
It's obviously
It was like long years ago
