Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hello.
What's up?
Yeah, yeah, great day.
Oh, yes, honey.
Short sleeves.
Yeah, it's summer time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's the first time I see you with that, with the short sleeves.
Yeah, it's getting pretty hot out there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You came here by bike.
Yeah, you rode it.
Yeah.
But it felt good, though.
The wind was chilly.
True, true.
It was the perfect combo.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Love that.
I ate lunch outside.
They had like a terrace seat.
Yeah.
It was great.
Nice, nice, nice, nice.
Yeah.
You have to appreciate this weather.
Yep, absolutely.
You definitely have to go outside and do things.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
It's really rare.
I know you're not feeling it, but is the cocoon out there in general?
In general, I think, yes.
It's out there?
Yes.
It's hinoki, I guess, now.
It's a different one that I'm heavily...
Suffering from?
Suffering from, yes.
I see.
So I'm completely...
Don't even need medicine.
I'm taking it still.
Taking it? Okay.
Yeah, but I don't feel anything.
It's just I'm feeling so nice under this weather.
I just want to go outside and...
Nice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nice.
That's nice.
Just like you.
Yeah, that's nice.
Yeah.
That's nice.
So...
Wickedの紹介
I saw Wicked.
Wicked? Oh, really?
The movie Wicked?
Yeah, the one with Ariana Grande.
Okay.
Yeah, it was good.
It was good?
Have you seen it?
Have you seen the Wicked itself in any form?
No, no.
Oh, okay.
So you don't even know the story.
I know the Wizard of Oz.
The Wizard of Oz.
That's what I saw when I was a child.
I saw the musical.
And I know it's a little...
It's a...
The day before, right?
The day before...
Yeah, I think it's...
I don't know if it's a day, but just...
Before the...
Yeah, before the actual event of the Wizard of the Oz.
Right, right, right.
So I kind of...
But I don't know the story.
I don't know.
I know it's like a two, you know, Wizards.
Yeah, two, yeah.
I kind of know the concept though.
Two Witch.
Yeah, yeah.
But I...
Yeah.
I actually don't know the story of the Wizard of the Oz.
So...
Okay, okay.
I don't know that one.
That's...
I don't...
Yeah, I'm interested in that too.
Is the Wizard of the Oz...
Is that...
What is that?
What kind of story is that?
It's...
So there's a little girl.
Okay.
From somewhere...
Don't know.
The countryside.
Really countryside of the United States.
It's...
It's American book originally.
Okay.
It's like the first American book.
Oh.
And I believe it was the first color movie.
Oh, okay.
Wow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
ウィキッドとオズの魔法使いの関連性
So I think it's...
That's a story.
That's why it's really important to American people.
I see.
And that's what I heard.
I see.
And so it's a really classical one, I guess.
And there were one little girl from really, really countryside in the United States
who is dreaming to go like somewhere else.
Yeah.
Like overseas maybe or like, I don't know, somewhere.
And then she tries to go to the...
Start her journey.
And then she's gonna meet...
Um, you know, that little...
I think I know.
Yeah, you know.
I think I know.
Without the heart.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The tin-canned...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Little monster fucker.
I know him.
Yeah, without a heart.
Yeah.
Or like the lion who's really kind of scared of everything.
The human lion.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
This...
This fella.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
And Kakashi.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, they kind of start journeying with all those guys.
And then they kind of try...
They're gonna find something, you know, missing parts of them.
Okay.
What's the girl missing?
I forget, but it's like a dreamland, I guess.
Oh, okay.
I see.
So when I was really kid, like elementary or something, I saw this musical.
So I honestly, I don't memorize every detail.
But the whole concept was going to the journey with all those.
And then they find, ultimately, like they find something important.
And then that unhappy kind of...
So do they get to meet the Wizard of Oz?
I...
I'm not...
So the beginning line was like the Wizard of...
The West Wizard has dead.
The Witch of the West?
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like that was the beginning.
So I'm not sure she...
Did they meet?
But I remember the scene where they go to like green place.
Like Emerald City.
Yeah, Emerald City.
And then the city was like the whole green.
And I don't remember what was going on.
But it was like really green.
And to me, it was really scary.
And then I remember that.
Wow.
There are several scenes from Wizard of Oz.
Sorry, from Wicked that overlays.
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
The Emerald City was there.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
One of the Witch went to Wizard of Oz to meet...
Yeah, to meet Wizard of Oz.
Okay, okay.
That wizard was in Emerald City.
Yeah, that was one of the scenes.
I see, I see.
Yeah, because I've heard like the Wicked is like,
like a kind of made from Oz kind of.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
For like musicals.
So I guess like it's linked somehow.
It's connected a little bit.
Is the...
Does the green...
Does this guy appear?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
This green skinned...
Yeah, green skinned and like...
Yeah.
Witch of the West.
WickedとGreatest Showmanの比較
Witch or Wizard or...
I'm not...
I forget.
But...
Yeah.
It was green.
Completely green skin.
Yeah, I remember I was in the theater.
Yeah.
And the whole theater went...
Like became green.
And then like the huge face or like huge...
Is he like big guy or...
No.
No, really?
This is just normal human being size.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'm not sure about...
But the Wizard of Oz sits behind a huge face mask.
Oh.
And controls the face and that's kind of scary.
Oh, then that's why I kind of have image of like huge face in a green theater.
Okay.
And...
Oh, I see.
That was the Wizard of Oz, I guess.
And is he in the movie too?
Yeah, Wizard of Oz is in the movie.
Okay.
Yeah.
I see.
Right.
Did you enjoy the whole movie?
I did enjoy the movie.
I did, I did.
It was...
Yeah, it was...
I loved how they used the music.
Okay.
You know, the popular...
Like the defying gravity and all that.
Yeah, they used those music to sort of energize the scene and it was really...
I really liked it.
I felt the energy.
It was great.
It's the musical movie, right?
Yes, it was a musical movie.
Yeah.
It's like half acting, half musical.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, like La La Land or Greatest Showman.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I see, I see.
Yeah.
Right, right, right.
Oh, the woman from Greatest Showman was on the movie.
Which one?
The woman that was...
The large woman that was singing.
Oh, with the beard?
Yeah.
Oh, really?
She did not sing.
What?
I was like, you don't sing?
Why?
Why she didn't sing?
Like, every character sang.
Like, every character had like a solo part, right?
Like this random guy had a solo part.
Oh, come on.
This sister of the protagonist, you know?
I thought she wouldn't sing, but like she started singing,
and she does a great job singing.
Everyone did a great job singing.
And there was this...
She worked as a faculty member of the school.
School?
College that...
It's like a witch school that they went to.
And you know, the lady was like,
oh, everybody sit down.
It's that lady from Greatest Showman.
Yes, it's her singing again.
But like, the show went on without her singing,
and it's just the ending scene.
Really?
Yeah, I was so surprised.
Like her...
She did not sing.
Kiana Seto?
I don't know her name, but yeah.
I mean, she's such a talented singer.
Yeah, why the director didn't use her talent?
Maybe it was because it was part one.
There's a part one and a part two, right?
Oh, I see.
It's a two-parted movie, so maybe she'll explode in part two.
Oh, that would be lovely.
I hope that happens.
It's like...
Kiana Setoの才能
I guess it's like a kind of...
Yeah.
And then she's gonna smash it in there.
Hopefully.
Oh, that would be great.
Hopefully.
I would love that.
What was her name again?
Kiana Seto?
Kiana Seto?
Kiana Seto?
I'm not sure.
Yeah.
Kiana Seto.
Yeah.
Kiana Seto.
I think she was in it.
Well, I mean, she's like a...
Yeah, that must be something.
Uh, yeah, she was in it.
She was in it.
So I guess it will be...
She will be singing and blasting in this part two, I guess.
Yeah, hopefully.
I hope so.
Yeah.
Such a talent.
I know.
It's a mystery if the director didn't use that, you know, great talent in that singing movie.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
All right.
So that's my week.
Great, great.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
