Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hello, guys.
Hello.
How's it going?
Okay, this one, recent one then.
All right.
This is from, okay.
Okay, I think, okay.
This is a クリサン。
All right.
I think this is like the message with fullrespect, I guess.
All right.
It doesn't mean any, like, you know, try to...
Like criticism or anything?
Yeah, nothing like that, I guess.
Okay, sure, let's go.
Okay.
Thank you.
Oh.
Well, I don't take that as a criticism at all.
Good, good, good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, yeah.
I, um, it's a great point.
It's a great point.
Yeah, that we've been doing a lot of, like, youknow, recipes and.
Yeah.
And a lot of, yeah, stuff that I've never actuallypersonally experienced,
but, uh, had the chance to tell you guys about it.
But, you know, the thing is, you know, once you,you know,
when you have a certain amount of experience inAmerica, I guess it's just, it's just,
you sort of know the vibes already.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's like, like, you sort of get it afterdoing a little bit of research.
Like, I can understand a lot more than, say, forexample,
anyone who's never been to the United States.
Yeah, definitely.
Let's say I've never been to, for example, um,Utah, right?
I've never been to Utah and, um, I research aboutUtah and, you know, I've looked,
I've presented about Utah, right?
The, uh, Kankouchi Kikaku and like, I, I know alot more.
I get the vibe of that place and like the, thestuff about that place,
I guess a lot more than anyone who's never been tothe U.S.
Like the terminology that they use, if they mean acertain thing or, yeah, like, yeah.
So it's, it's, it's, um, my past experiences areusable.
Sure.
Yeah, I get it.
Yeah.
It's, um, it's, uh, it's, uh, transferable.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
03:00
If you're like, you're like to me, like, um, wehave like foreign guests to my house and then you,
I, I need to like, let's say explain about sushiand obviously, yes, I do some researches,
but like backgrounds and cultures and everything,but I feel like I can do that.
I can, I can explain it.
Right, right, right.
Like I'm sure you can, let's say, for example,name me a prefecture you've never been to.
What, what is it?
What's a prefecture you've never been to?
Me, um, Akita.
Akita, right.
Let's say an American comes and be like, Hey, I'minterested in Akita.
What do you think Akita is like?
Right.
You can do your research about Akita and you'llget the vibe of it.
Right.
So, right.
It's kind of like that.
Even though I'm not sushi chef, you know, from,from Akita prefecture, I've never lived in, but
I can kind of, um, I can understand it.
Right, right, right, right, right, right.
Yeah.
Like the official government sites, they tell youall the, and like Rekishi and like the
Katameno Kankouchi, whereas like the TikToks, theytell you all the trendy ones and the vibes
and everything.
And like, you know, all the, the sources ofinformation matters as well, as well as, you
know, the context of that information, um, can bedetermined by the view, the, uh, the
researcher.
So, yeah.
Right, right, right, right, right, right.
Yeah.
True.
Yeah.
You do, um, researches too, right?
Oh yeah.
It's very important as an, you're not saying like,you just, you just do it like on the
spot, but you carefully like research things.
Yeah.
About things that you haven't experienced.
Right.
And after doing so many videos with you guys, Ikind of guess like what the question is
going to be from you guys.
That's secretly been an activity for me.
I'm like, okay, Kakyoin's probably going to askthis.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Then you're probably going to ask this.
So let me make sure that I get this down.
And then every time y'all ask me a question that Ididn't research on, I'm like, fuck.
I should have had that.
Like, I, I could have guessed that.
Why didn't I do it?
Like, I'm secretly like, shit, I could have knownthat.
I could have guessed that.
Yeah, I could have, yeah, I could have get that,guess that question.
Why didn't I do it?
Yeah.
I guess that's also a part of why it's smoother.
Cause like, I kind of already know what thequestion is going to be.
Like I can kind of guess it.
So that's one.
It's true.
You do know the customer.
I do know the customers.
Yes.
You already know the customer when you dopresentations.
That's right.
That's right.
Yeah.
Do you have any, besides those things, tips ofwhen you do presentations?
06:02
I mean, I think that like, I don't think that I'mgood at explaining.
Like, I don't know what anyone else thinks, butlike from my end, I'm like,
I don't know if I like, I'm not that confident onif I explained it like clearly sometimes.
There's like, there are times where I'm like, Ithink I did it pretty well.
And there are also times where like, I was allover the place.
I get like, I don't know, like half and halfsometimes.
My personal satisfaction level of when I explainsomething.
Yeah, so I'm not that confident though.
Okay.
Yeah.
I feel like, um, so not only like explanations,but like, um, how should I say?
Like the, um, um, like the way you introducethings is very nice.
Okay.
Like not only like those like logic or like, youknow, it's, it's, it's, it's like, um,
it's different from a, you'd write things from youspeaking.
Right.
Oh yeah.
So, um, that has like very nice vibe, very highscale to me.
Oh, okay.
So like, like, um, um, I mean, for example, when Italk and present something, there's just like,
what, like the vibe that I give off.
Yes.
Yes.
Beside those, like, like logical explanations.
Well, to me, that's decent for me, but besidethose things, like you got two different, um,
skills, right?
One is like, you make a PowerPoint.
Okay.
You make a logical presentation and step two isyou present it.
You perform it kind of.
Oh, I see.
And I feel like you're good at performing it.
I see, I see.
You do it on stage.
Yeah, I was, yeah, that I'm not, I'm kind ofconfident on that one.
Yeah.
I don't know why I'm confident on that.
I don't know where it comes from.
Yeah.
It's like you do TikTok videos.
You're good at like performing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
In front of cameras.
It's like a, it's, it's like that to me.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've, um, I don't know where it comes from, Iguess.
You've been good at those things since you werevery, like a little boy, or do you have
any timing that you, you kind of mastered it?
I guess the engekibu, high school engekibu, thatwas like talking and performing in front
of the crowds, right?
So I guess that's one of the, that's one of thefactors, I guess.
09:01
Sometimes we'd practice, uh, like seokgyo, youknow what that is, right?
Yeah.
Like, yeah, they gave you a setting and then youhave to act it out.
Like there's no script.
It's just, you have to keep the play going withoutno script.
Wow.
And then someone would clap.
If somebody claps, we would freeze.
Okay.
And then one person comes in.
Okay.
And then claps again.
And then the story continues.
Plus that person.
So that person has to be somebody.
Like you'd have to think of a position.
Wow.
That addition, added guy is like no named?
He has to name himself or somebody in the crowdwould have to name him.
Like, oh, that sounds very interesting.
Oh, the police came and then now he has to be thepolice.
Wow.
Or like he has to name who he is.
Oh, that's very good training.
Yeah, that's, uh, that was fun.
It's really fun.
That was what I wanted to do.
That was what I expected of doing at GengekiBuppa.
Oh, wow.
We just did it like once or twice a year.
It's kind of sad.
Yeah, I feel like you, you mastered like how toact.
Like how to perform in front of people.
Oh, no, I'm not.
I wouldn't say I mastered it, but I enjoy it.
I enjoy it.
Yeah, yeah, I do.
Nice, nice, nice.
Yes.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah, I feel like that's, uh, I don't know if Ishould say talent,
but maybe the effort, maybe.
But yeah, that's a special thing.
I guess it was.
Yeah, I enjoy it.
It was in me.
It was enjoyable for me.
Yeah, I guess.
Nice, nice, nice.
So thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
