住まいの評価
1年経ちましたけど、ケビンの住まいはどうでしたか。
1年経ちましたけど、ケビンの住まいはどうでしたか。
It is not worth every penny.
It is not worth every penny.
So that's your final opinion.
That's your final opinion.
That's your final opinion.
It is not at worth every penny.
There are some features of the house that are unnecessary
that does not need paying for
that we can cut off.
I am moving.
I am moving.
Well, that's good.
I am moving, but I will keep what I liked.
So I'm going to try to find what I did enjoy in that house, and I'm going to try to keep
it, and I'm going to eliminate the ones that I don't need, and then find a lower rank.
Yeah, that's nice.
And see if that's something you should do, like people should do.
Yeah.
Keep what you like, and delete what you don't like.
What's the things, I mean, what's the things you liked about that?
The thing that I liked about was, one, that there was a gomibako, gomisteba, close.
I see.
Yeah.
I see.
Well, that's big.
I like that.
Yeah.
24 hours open.
24 hours open.
You can throw away anything.
Yeah, I see.
That's the biggest one.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
But I guess that's about it, though.
Oh.
That's about it.
Okay.
If I have a certain level of, if the building has a certain level of cleanliness, and this
low rate of gokiburi fucking up my house, then I'm good.
I'm basically okay.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Basically okay.
Well, that's good.
Yeah.
You found it.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
新しい場所の探索
What about city itself?
City?
Okay.
Actually, the one that I'm in right now, I really love it.
You really love it?
I really love the city that I'm in right now.
That's good.
So, I think I'm going to try to keep it.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
So, you're going to keep something nearby, then?
Yeah.
I'm going to find something nearby.
You're not going to move to, like, very far, like, a different city, different ward?
I don't think so.
I don't think so.
Yeah.
That's good.
That's good.
Another possibility, I thought, this really contradicts with what I just said, but might
stay in the same place, or going to go completely south, south as in, like, in a different way.
Maybe move to Kanagawa, where it's completely lower rent, or maybe a different prefecture,
like on Saitama, or Chiba, or I don't know, somewhere like that.
And then, find a quality home.
Maybe that's another possibility.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
True.
You can just simply pay rent lower.
That's right.
That's right.
Well, I mean, yeah, that's a good option, though.
Uh-huh.
Like, I feel like we don't, I mean, but you're not into Tokyo, no?
Not that much anymore?
Oh.
I'm into Tokyo, yes.
Okay.
I'm into Tokyo.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
But, it's not, but I guess, because I lived in the place that I'm in right now, it's
I see.
I think.
Yeah.
That's true.
That's true.
So, you don't, like, sticking to, like, this.
Yeah.
I don't think, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't think being in Tokyo is as of a must now.
So you can go, what we call, bed town.
We can do that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, I don't know, Saitama, Chiba.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We can do that.
Uh-huh.
But I do want the city to be still.
I see.
You know, populated.
I see.
Many people.
Yeah.
Many buildings.
Many buildings.
I would love to have that.
I would love to have a shopping mall next to it.
Shopping mall.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
Well, but, in many bed towns, you can have, like, big station, and then you've got, like,
I don't know if you call it mall, but big shopping place.
Like, eons.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you get attached, and then you have, like, mansion attached, and you can go inside and
I went to a, um, Saitama's, one of those big cities where they have a big mall.
住まいとショッピングモール
Okay.
I think it was Lake Town.
Ah.
Okay.
I think it was Lake Town.
Koshigaya.
Koshigaya.
I think it was that.
Okay.
But the mall was huge.
You went to Koshigaya Lake Town?
Yeah.
Itself?
Yeah.
That's the biggest.
Oh, is it?
In Japan.
Oh, okay.
I mean, second biggest.
I see.
No wonder.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Second biggest eon, I guess, in Japan.
I had no wonder then.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because it was like, if I had this right next to my home, oh my god, would it be heaven.
You don't, you don't need that much, no.
But it would be heaven, though.
Okay.
I don't, but, like, it would be nice for that one, though, right?
Okay, okay.
Yeah.
But surprisingly, they didn't have that much of an apartment right next to that eon building.
住環境とゴキブリの問題
They had, like, Ikenyas.
Oh, I see.
Many Ikenyas right next to it, so it was like, it's weird.
Okay.
Yeah.
You prefer mansions?
I do prefer mansions more.
Oh, those Ikenyas and everything?
Yeah.
I like mansions more.
Because it's, Ikenya, you can go only up to second floor.
Yeah.
That's too low for the gokiburis.
Gotta be higher.
Okay.
It's gotta be higher.
That's the reason.
That's the reason.
Yeah, you don't, you don't want to, like, have a view or things like that.
It's the distance of gokiburis.
I actually, yeah, I don't, I'm actually okay with not having a view.
Okay.
Yeah.
You just need to be, to keep distance from the ground.
That's right.
That's right.
I see.
That's right.
Oh, the other day, you know, so right now, I'm, it's not that high, the floor that I'm
in right now.
It's not that high, but it's not that low.
I can't tell you exactly which floor, but like, I didn't think a gokiburi could go up
that high.
Oh, okay.
But I found one.
And guess where?
Look.
There's a window, right?
It's a double window.
In your house?
Not exactly in my house.
I'll tell you where.
Okay.
The window, right?
Yeah.
And then there's the amido.
Yeah.
It was in between the amido and my window.
Wow.
It was in between that.
Yeah.
It was technically not in my house, but it was kind of like stuck in between the two
fucking doors.
Okay.
It was fucking, it was disgusting.
Wow.
And his legs, his stomach was on this side, so I kept looking at his fucking, fucking
stomach.
You know how disgusting his stomach is, it was so nasty.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it's very new building and I guess, you know, that, like, no, like, really like first
ground or like those places, right?
It's pretty.
Yeah.
It's relatively high.
So.
Do you still get them?
I still got them.
That's crazy.
That is so crazy.
How?
Maybe you broke them?
No.
No.
I don't bring, I know that's impossible.
That doesn't happen.
That just doesn't happen.
Because they don't, they don't fly like that.
They just, they just climbed all the way up?
I think they climbed.
I think they climbed or, or it's from the next door's neighbor.
Yeah.
Is it?
Yeah, it's connected.
The balconies are connected.
So.
It's possible.
Technically possible.
Very possible.
Yeah.
Or maybe you broke them.
That's not true.
That's not possible.
I don't, I don't let it happen.
So.
Okay.
Okay.
It's impossible.
都市生活の楽しみ
That's impossible.
Okay.
Basically.
That's the best.
How's your place?
You've moved in a little while.
Is that good?
Are you enjoying your place?
I'm enjoying the place.
Yes.
Yes.
That's great.
That's great.
Yes.
Yes.
I love that city.
You love the city?
Okay.
That's great.
That's great.
Yeah.
ケビンの住まいの選択肢
But I'm still thinking.
About?
About where to live.
Okay.
I'm still like.
You're not completely settled.
Searching the places.
Yes.
Yes.
For a better place.
Yeah.
For example.
Like.
I.
Went to like.
Really really.
Far away from Tokyo.
Yeah.
Really.
You know.
Very countryside.
Very.
Like in the woods.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Honestly.
In the woods.
Literally in the woods.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I felt.
Very comfortable.
And very.
Relaxing.
And there are some people.
Who.
You know.
Moved from Tokyo.
Those big cities.
To live in.
In the nature.
Yeah.
And they.
Kind of making a community.
And I felt.
Nice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I felt.
Some kind of connection.
Uh huh.
And then.
Oh.
This can be my option too.
Isn't that one of your.
Um.
Musician.
Goto-san?
Or.
Who was it?
Someone was living in the woods.
Oh.
And you went to that place.
Who's that?
Okay.
Never mind.
Who's that?
I can't remember.
I can't remember.
But like.
You know.
But a lot of people do it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So.
So that can be an option.
Uh huh.
Maybe.
In Tokyo.
Still like different city.
Yeah.
There's woods in Tokyo.
Yeah.
Sure.
Yeah.
It's doable.
Maybe that one.
That can be an option.
You just pointed at Moribiru.
Yeah.
That one.
Maybe that.
Did you point at it correctly?
Yeah.
That floor.
Yeah.
That one.
That one over there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So remember that one costed you like 600 Mayan every month.
Remember that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
How about.
Yeah.
How about that?
How about it?
If.
Okay.
If the rent wasn't ridiculous.
How about it?
Moribiru.
I mean.
I'd love to try.
I'd love to test.
Yeah.
Just like you did.
Yeah.
If it's like.
But how tall is that?
Wow, man.
Probably like one of the tallest in all of Tokyo, don't you think?
Yeah.
So.
This might be a little surprise.
But in some part of the very central Tokyo.
They have like.
Maybe you know.
But they have big park nearby.
Oh, yeah.
Like Yoyogi Koen.
So like.
Maybe Kokyo maybe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What's the.
Sure.
Yeah.
So.
Those can be an option.
Okay.
Compared to if you go to like.
Random.
I see.
Middle.
Of.
Of.
Still Tokyo.
Like Ome.
You know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It doesn't have to be some sort of actual wood.
I know Ome is still.
Yeah.
But.
But you know.
You know.
You know what I'm saying.
I get what you're saying.
Yeah.
So.
So that one.
If the rent is.
Like not crazy.
We'll see.
We'll see.
Yeah.
I would love to try.
You'd like to try?
Yeah.
But your gut feeling.
Ultimately.
After a year.
Is probably gonna be like.
Well, I mean.
I'm not gonna live here forever.
Okay.
I'm not gonna live here.
Probably gonna be your final.
Yeah.
You know.
You're gonna want somewhere more quiet.
Yes.
Yes.
Somewhere more nature.
Yeah.
予算と将来の計画
And I'm gonna build my house.
Oh, okay.
Garden.
Oh, okay.
Nice.
This is not gonna be my.
Yeah.
Six.
Six million?
Just a little bit more.
Just a little bit more.
I hear that you're on a budget.
So.
Just a little bit more.
Six million?
Six million?
No.
No?
Just a little more.
Seven?
Seven?
Seven million?
Seven hundred million.
Seven hundred million.
It's true, though.
It's true, though.
It's crazy.
That is crazy.
It's true.
Yeah.
But.
Great.
ケビンの1年の振り返り
Great that you test one year.
Yeah.
And you know what you really want.
Right.
And I'm.
You know.
I know more about myself now.
That's great.
And I'm adapting it to my life.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's the best thing.
Yeah.
