名前に対する複雑な感情
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Some old one.
Okay, let's go.
Some old one.
All right.
Okay.
It's really similar to what we talked about recently.
Okay.
This one.
Okay.
Like...
Like a nickname.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
As a professional.
Like the hostel has their own cool nickname, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on the origin of your names and your thoughts on your names.
I feel like I see them at the same level.
People that have name complexes have a name complex.
It's like that.
I don't have anything.
I don't have any of that.
I've never had any trouble or desire with my own name.
I'm good with what I have right now.
True.
That's true.
It's really difficult to open up that conversation, maybe.
That could be.
I don't know.
Because I told you before, my dad was so carefree about my names.
All these angles.
Every single meaning, of course, and he made a video for that.
That's awesome.
I loved that video and I loved my name.
But the fact that I'm saying this to…
Well, I'm not saying that much to people, but that makes people difficult to open up.
That they have a name complex.
Yeah, maybe.
I don't know.
Because they think, oh, he's not going to be…
サービス名の重要性
I can't talk to him about this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe.
Names, huh?
I kind of understand if you have a fancy name, just like Sayonji.
Then they're like, yes, I wanted this name.
Sounds cool.
Yeah, I get the feeling, though.
You think the company Apple has ever regretted calling themselves Apple?
Well, I feel like Apple is a good name.
Apple is a good name?
Yeah.
From the Bible, you buy it and then you've got a knowledge.
The forbidden fruit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But if you…
Like, what else?
Like, X.
What do you think about that?
X?
I mean…
Sounds something when you're a high schooler and like…
But I think, I guess that's a Japanese-y kind of way of perceiving.
Okay.
X?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's very Japanese, specifically.
That specific feeling, we don't have.
Okay, okay, okay.
But yeah, it is kind of confusing, right?
It's kind of hard to get used to.
But I think, see, I think with names, I think name is just…
I think names don't matter.
For like what?
People?
For anything.
Anything? Okay.
Okay, services and names.
More on services.
Inside the name.
Yeah, I think it's the image that they have, what they do matters more.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Even if the name sucks.
True.
I feel like X, right?
We were like, X?
But I feel like in five years, it's going to be so normal.
Right.
サービス名の影響
And it's not something you decide if you use it or not by hearing only the names.
I know, right?
Oh, it says X?
No, I'm not going to use this.
It's not happened like that.
It's just a matter of like, are you used to it or not?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And what's more important is always the insight, the service they're providing.
Right.
True.
True.
Even if, well, I don't use X, first of all, but even if the name of the X was…
Something great.
Something really dumb.
I would still use it if I use that.
Yeah.
It doesn't…
If YouTube named Octopus or something like that, I would still use that.
Yeah.
The London speaker is Octopus.
Oyster.
Oyster.
Yeah, it's Oyster, right?
Yeah.
Oyster.
True.
Ours is Suica.
Yeah.
But no one gives a fuck about that, right?
That's right.
Because we've gotten used to it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
K-pop, New Jeans.
New Jeans.
When their name came out, people were like, New Jeans?
Oh, were they?
Yeah.
But no one's talking about that anymore.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they found many groups named…
Yeah.
Strange.
Strange, right?
Yeah.
When the Johnny's Seikagai Mondai happened, right?
All the names were like…
Looking back at it, Kiss My Foot?
Yeah.
Sexy Zone?
Yeah.
That thing is too sexual.
Right.
サービス名の受容
But at that time, maybe at the debut time, maybe some people were talking about, but after
several years of their success, they were like, nobody's like…
Yeah.
They've accepted it.
Casually on the TV shows like yeah, it's it was like she's on this
Casually, not a problem, right?
Names don't matter that much. All right. Yeah
Yeah
So yeah, there you go. All right. Thanks listening guys. Bye
