Hello.
Hello.
Okay, so there.
All right, this one.
Yeah.
Oh, I don't know why, but I'm picking many football messages today.
Oh.
Well, I don't, okay.
Let's just ease up on the football topic here.
Yeah, I'm gonna, um.
You don't know why you're picking up.
I don't know.
It's random.
I just, but you're the one that's scrolling and stopping and choosing them, right?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So how do you, you're literally looking at it and then choosing it.
I didn't.
I mean, I'm looking, but I can't read it because it's so fast.
I do like this and like that.
So I don't, so it's, so it's completely random luck.
Yeah.
Okay.
I see.
But yeah, as I scrolled a different message to say.
Oh, you got another football comment?
アクセサリーと個人のスタイル
I mean, I forget where it was at.
Oh, okay.
I have to pick a different one.
This one.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, yeah.
You know, I've never had any relationship where that was too much, but I've always sort of, I guess, adjusted to the other person.
For example, if it's very casual, then I'd go casual.
If it's a little bit like, you know, a little bit, you know, like, like kireime, then I'd go for like a little bit of kireime.
That might happen.
But I was never like too like controlling, I would say.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
You're talking about, you're adjusting to the places or like to the.
Well, both.
To the place that we're going to go and that person, how that their style is, I guess.
Okay.
Yeah, that has happened.
Yeah.
So that we like look better.
Like as a pair.
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
I see.
Okay, so I don't know how much jewelry you've got on there for any guy to say that to you.
Yeah.
But first of all, I think jewelries are, there are, right?
I mean, that's meant to.
Yeah.
Meant to be.
Appealing.
Yeah.
So I don't know what you got on your, on yourself, but yeah, jewelries are fine.
Me too.
Yeah.
I have no idea how much you're putting your things on yourself, but.
Yeah.
But that's the question.
Yeah.
Right.
That's the question.
I think those things are even for the datings or like.
Yeah.
Um, like to me, if you're, if you're working in the office and you're putting too much things.
Yeah.
I would say like, oh, that's maybe too much for the office or like businesses.
Yeah.
That I understand.
Yeah.
But for like.
Um.
Your personal.
Datings.
We do whatever the fuck you want.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
So.
Julie, have you, have you, um, have you had a phase of jewelries?
What do you mean phase?
Like if you tried necklaces or rings or bracelets or things like that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
When I was a high schooler and a little bit of university college students.
Okay.
Or more than high school high schooler.
I was into, um, the kind of necklace, but it's more like, um, it's not metals.
It's like you got a, like a, um, how do you, how should I explain it?
It's like.
Leather himo.
And then one little, um, little charm.
I see.
And then, yeah.
It's like, uh, it's like the guy from Moana.
Sorry?
It's like the guy from Moana.
Ah, yeah.
The macho macho.
Yes.
Yes.
Something like that.
Way more smaller than that, but something like that.
Yes.
Yes.
Yeah.
Um, could be like the teeth of tooth of some animal.
Right.
Those things.
Yeah.
Uh, yeah.
I was into that, that one.
Okay.
And I was wearing that not for the, um, for the schools, but outside the schools
when I date with somebody, I try to make myself up and yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what you do.
Yeah.
And, um, watch watches.
Okay.
Yeah.
You sometimes wear watches, right?
Oh, yeah, I do.
Yeah.
Not today, but now I'm not, yeah, but still, yeah.
Like when I was a college student, I was more into like, um, watch as, uh, and, you
know, oshare item.
Oh, okay.
Like, um, like the colors and, you know, those.
I see.
Yeah.
Designs and the colors.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I see.
But those two, I don't, I don't, I don't have any earrings or rings or like, um,
like a little.
Bracelets.
Yeah.
Once I tried, but didn't, uh, didn't find a good one.
So yeah, that's what, that's what I, yeah.
Yeah.
Have you?
I had one, one necklace when I was, I think metal school.
Yeah.
Like a silver.
That's it.
Silver.
Yeah.
Okay.
And that was, that was a, I guess that was a past that I should forget.
Oh, you know, you didn't like that.
Uh, yeah.
Is it like, is it like common?
I wouldn't say it's a common tune.
It was, it was thin.
So it wasn't like one of those thicker ones that you'd find in a Chugakusei.
And it was in America.
So we had a different sort of vine, but I was never into the accessories ever since then.
Yeah.
So you didn't like that?
No.
I wanted to go into watches, but I was never good with watches.
Okay.
Okay.
I don't like how it, there's something stuck to my skin.
Cause it was uncomfortable.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I get it.
Right.
Yeah.
ミサンガの意味
Besides that, I was wearing a misanga.
I remember that, you know, that was the thing.
I have a question for you guys.
Okay.
For the soccer clubs that wore misangas.
Okay.
And their feets, no?
Yeah.
A lot of people wore them in their ankles.
Yeah.
Because you have to hide it.
Okay.
Right.
In general, you know, it's banned.
Accessories are banned in school.
Okay.
I see.
Okay.
Well, yeah, a lot of people were doing it and they were, they kept it on even after graduation.
Yeah.
They had it on during con.
When do you guys take that off?
So.
I'm sure you guys don't have it now, but when do you take it off?
So, do you know the reason, like, do you know what misanga is?
I, no, I don't think I'm familiar with it.
So, I'm not sure if the people of this generation still do that or not.
Okay.
But, it's for like, um, omajinai.
Okay.
And when you, when you tie your misanga, you make a wish.
Okay.
And then you keep it until it's broken.
Okay.
That's, that's what it said.
Oh.
When it, when your dream comes true, misanga will broke.
Oh, I see.
Right.
So, you're kind of waiting for it to wear off and then just break naturally.
Right, right, right.
So, that's why it's really thin like this.
No, like strong, strong.
It's a little fragile.
Wait.
So, why are all the soccer teams doing it?
I have no idea.
Well, basically, um, I don't know why, but that was the thing.
Okay.
And then they, um, um, you can put a letters in, in, in the misanga.
Letters?
Yeah.
It's like, um, you got a thick part and then you have thin little, um, himo part.
Oh, okay.
And that's where it broke.
ミサンガの由来と重要性
And you can put letters on it.
Oh, okay.
And then it's like, um, your shirt number.
Uh-huh.
And your name maybe.
Okay.
And then, I don't know, like it's Kokuseiha or like Kentaika Yusho or something like that.
Uh-huh.
And then, I don't know why, but, um, your manager, like, you know, or your girlfriend.
Okay.
Or your classmate's girl or your friend's girl, they, they make it for you.
Oh, okay.
Or like, um, they, they give it to you.
So, nobody makes them...
I didn't make it myself.
No.
Somebody else makes it for you.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's like, Kore tsukete kudasai.
Mm.
And then, and then do that.
Is that, how special is that?
Is that as special as, like, a girl asking for, like, the Dainibotan?
Is that...
Just like that, I guess.
It's just like that.
Yes, yes.
So, you wouldn't, like, a girl wouldn't do it to every member of the soccer team.
Um...
It was just one specific person that she thinks is special.
Yeah, yeah.
But if you're, like, manager of the soccer club, and then you can obviously make it to every player.
Okay.
But, it can be like that.
It's, like, special.
I see.
Um...
I see.
It's, like, the representation of the special bond between the player and the girl.
I see.
I see.
So...
Wait, hold on.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, that does not break easily.
And I'm sure that it's not gonna break within their time of high schools.
Why would they wish something like zenkoku seiha, something that goal that they should accomplish within their zaigaku kikan,
but wrap it around in a misanga that will not break for years?
Yeah.
That's contradicting to me.
Well, um...
So, first of all, it's kind of really fragile.
It's really thin, um...
You know, it's like a himo.
So, it can break in a few months.
Oh.
If you...
I see.
If you treat it, like, really badly.
Okay.
Yeah.
But also, it's like...
Like, for people, it doesn't have to be...
Or, like, it shouldn't be break.
Because you...
If...
It's better for the people that you still have it on their feet.
So that you can see, oh, he's still having my misanga.
Oh.
It's like...
It's the bond.
I see.
So, yeah.
I see.
That's why, I guess.
Okay.
It's more like, um...
I don't know.
You have, um...
What?
Like, osoroi no...
Like, a bracelet shiteru.
Things like that.
So, do you think if some of them high schoolers go to college and they get themselves a new girlfriend,
the new girlfriend would be like, oh, he has a misanga.
Yeah.
And that misanga probably is given by some other girl.
Yeah.
So, you think there's going to be friction in between them?
Yeah, of course.
Oh.
Yeah.
Is that like an aru-aru?
Yeah.
Oh.
So, you cut it.
Oh, so you cut it?
Yeah.
Ooh.
Hahaha.
Before they see you.
Yes.
Hahaha.
If it's a weird one.
If it's a weird one?
You know, if it's like, the heart on it.
Oh, it's girly?
Yeah.
Ooh.
You cut it.
Okay.
It's...
It's sad that you shouldn't cut by scissors.
Okay.
Because if you cut by your scissors, the dreams will never become true.
That's how it's said.
Okay.
But...
What do you do?
But we cut it.
Oh.
Ooh.
That's cruel.
Yeah.
That's cruel.
Hahaha.
Yeah, but I don't know why misanga came from, like, originally.
ミサンガの人気の変遷
Oh.
Why is that...
Oh.
...that popular in football world?
I have no idea.
I wonder if it's still popular now, right?
Yeah, I don't see them now.
Or you can't see it.
Yeah, but when I was elementary, when I go into, like, football shops, they were selling that.
Oh, they sold it?
Yeah.
Misangas for, like, Nihon Daihyou Misangas or things like that.
I see.
But not anymore, so maybe they don't do that anymore.
I see.
Yeah, maybe not.
Yeah.
Maybe not.
Hahaha.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye.
