こんにちは、リーコです。毎日楽しく拝聴しています。
先日、ケビンさんが声の出演をしているとの情報を得たので、 BFFが来た、を見てきました。
What is that?
Oh, did I not... I didn't tell...
What's that?
Yeah, so I did a 声優...
Oh, man, really?
Yeah, I did. For a kid's show.
For a kid's show?
Yeah.
Oh, nice.
But I feel like anyone can watch it.
Okay.
So, I did a robot.
You did a robot?
English-speaking robot.
Oh, that's perfect for you.
Yeah, so I... I'm a character called Beth, BFF.
Oh, that's the name of the...
Character name.
Oh.
BFF, Beth.
BFF, okay.
Yeah.
Oh, so you kind of...
I did Beth.
The main character, I thought.
Yeah.
Oh.
That's right.
Nice.
But I'm just... It's just a voice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I did it in such a high-pitched voice that if you just listen to it, you're probably not
going to notice it.
Oh, really?
That it's me.
Is that the character?
Yeah.
That's...
The director wanted me to do it in a very high voice.
How high is that?
Hello!
Oh.
That's high.
That's high.
Okay.
Well, still...
Still in the range.
Still in the range?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I see.
I see.
Right.
Wow.
Yeah.
Is it like...
What is it?
Like a movie?
No, it's like five or six episodes long.
Each episode is like 10 minutes or so.
Oh.
And it's...
Yeah.
Right.
Right.
Nice.
Right.
It's like on air.
On air, on YouTube.
On YouTube channel.
I thought it was going to be on Amazon...
Amazon Prime.
But I didn't find it on the day.
I didn't find it on the air date.
So, I don't know what's happening there.
But I found it on YouTube.
Okay.
Okay.
So, yeah.
Oh, nice.
Nice.
And you recorded like five, six episodes, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
All in one day.
All in one day?
My throat died.
That's when your throat got...
Oh, no.
No.
No?
No, no.
That's a different day.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Completely different day.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Completely different day.
I completely recovered from that.
I see.
So, yeah.
Oh.
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
So, BFF came?
Yeah.
Is that right?
Yeah, that's the title.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay, okay.
03:06
Hmm.
So pronouncing it BF, that's just a trick.
Of the story.
Okay.
Like the family, they didn't know it was called BFF.
It was spelled BFF.
I see.
They just thought the name was BFF, but it turns out it was BFF.
Okay.
And then best and forever, yeah, that's, that's the whole trick of the story.
Okay.
Yeah.
So we shouldn't have said it, but it's okay.
It's okay.
Yeah.
So, and it's not that, it's not like the whole story of it.
Anyways, there's different storyline to it.
So it's okay.
Um, yeah.
And do people say it BFF BFF.
I feel like it's getting a little bit older.
Yeah.
I don't think it's as fresh as let's say 10 years ago, you know?
Yeah.
I don't know what's happening to that word, but I don't, I don't hear it as well.
Yeah.
But I, but it's, it's usable.
Definitely usable.
People understand that.
Yeah.
People definitely understand it.
Okay.
Yeah.
And use it sometimes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Right.
But you don't read BFF.
You don't say BFF.
No, no, no.
It's BFF.
It's BFF.
Yeah.
Okay.
BFF is just a, just a character, right?
In that story.
That's the trick of the story.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's right.
Yeah.
Great.
Right.
Right.
Right.
How was the, how was the, the book by the way?
The, uh, translation book, was it good?
Yeah, it's published and, um, yeah, I did, uh, yeah, it's very, I did, uh, I
signed to tons of books.
You did a sign?
Yeah.
Damn.
It was sign books.
Uh-huh.
And also you had, I had a watashikai.
Wasn't one of those things where like you go, you appear at a bookshop.
Yes.
And then like you sit down and there's a pile of books.
Yeah.
People line up and you hand watashikai them.
Yes.
I did it.
You did one of those?
I did it at the Shibuya Tsutaya.
Oh shit.
The one at the, uh, the crossroad here.
Above the Starbucks.
Yeah.
Damn.
Yeah.
Was it fun?
That was fun.
Okay.
Nice.
Nice.
Like a little kids come sometimes and they were like, like talk to me.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was fun.
That was fun.
Yeah.
Did you sign it like right in front of them?
So it was a different sign book.
Oh, signed books.
Or signed books.
Yeah.
You can buy through a different like store.
Oh, okay.
And you should buy, purchase through from the Tsutaya and then that has a
special, yeah, I see.
I see.
So it's a Tsutaya collab event.
Yeah.
It was a pretty much fun.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, I didn't expect that people come that much.
06:04
Was it like, uh, was it like, uh, how, how much of an open space was it?
So what do you mean?
Like, is there a lot of people that's completely not related?
Um, no, it was the floor meant to do those kinds of event.
Oh, okay.
So there were nobody like, uh, some shine signs backward.
Yes.
But like it.
It was no.
Oh, so most people, all the, everyone that goes into the room is there for the event.
Right, right, right, right, right.
You have like a tie down to the upward.
And it was like separated to like time duration.
Like I was in the booth, you know, like wall behind me, desk in front of me.
And you had a, you know, kind of seat at the in front of me so that nobody can see me until they get inside.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's so cool.
Yeah.
Did you, was, was Tsuji-san there?
Yeah, Tsuji-san was there.
Did he just do the hagashi?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Was he doing the hagashi?
Yeah, but he did nothing.
I mean, we didn't need to like hagashi.
They were very like, you know, respectful when I hand that book and they were like, arigatou gozaimasu, and then say a little conversation.
And then, yeah, that's cool.
That's nice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was fun.
One little kid come into the booth and then, you know, it was pretty scary for them, I guess.
Like, get inside, and there were me, just standing, and then they start crying.
Aww.
He's like, oh, no, I don't want to enter this booth, and then the other customers waiting in queue, they like, treat little kid.
The kid, well, it's okay.
And the parents came in, and he was like, outside.
You think the kid knew you?
Or?
Yeah, I mean, I think so.
Uh-huh.
But, you know, that's funny.
Maybe the real you was a little scared.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That wasn't something he was expecting.
A little intimidating?
Yeah.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye.
