Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hey guys.
Hello, hello.
How's it going?
How do you do?
Good.
Good?
Pretty good.
Yeah.
I have to apologize to everybody.
Okay.
Last week, there was a miscommunication with theuploading between me and the staff.
Okay.
We had about 5 days of no show.
Oh, really?
That is correct.
By the time this episode is out, it wasn't lastweek, but last week from today.
Okay, okay.
It's recording day.
Oh, I see.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
4 days.
That's right.
It's the first time.
Yeah.
Right?
That's right.
That's right.
I apologize, everybody.
I apologize.
The first episode after the blank was 初のハワイ旅行、めっちゃ土砂降りだった.
That's the episode.
Oh, I see.
Kind of made it look like a...
It makes sense, though.
Right?
Oh, probably on vacation.
That's what it was made to look like.
Yeah.
Everybody will be like, yeah, that's why he was,you know.
Yeah.
Right.
But you had prepared beforehand, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
So the thing was, I...
So every week we do the recording, right?
And then upload it to Dropbox.
But I forgot that week to upload to Dropbox.
Okay.
But then after that, the next week I uploaded toDropbox.
And then I was like, wait, you didn't...
I think you skipped a week.
I see.
Yeah.
Wow.
So we recorded it, but you didn't upload it thento Dropbox.
Right.
That's why he was...
I thought I did, but...
I guess I didn't show it right, so...
So the staff thought that we skipped a whole week.
Yeah, okay.
The staff might also think that, yeah, he might bein Hawaii
and that's why they're not recording maybe in...
Possibly.
Right.
So...
Yeah.
I see.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, you don't have to apologize for that.
But in any case, you had prepared beforehand
to not make those blanks, right?
That's right.
Yeah, that's...
I know, right?
We were like, hey, we have to do the recordinghere and here and here
to make sure that we don't have any blanks in thescheduling.
Yeah, you tried and adjust all the schedules andeverything
and now everybody was thinking like, yeah, he's inHawaii
and that's why he's like...
Probably doesn't want to work.
Yeah, in Hawaii.
No, actually not.
Right.
Yeah.
So don't blame him.
He tried everything, he adjusted everything, so...
No, no, no.
The result is everything.
The result is everything.
Yeah, okay.
I did a...
Since I'm a...
You know, I'm a programmer at Google, Apple...
Yes.
And Meta.
Okay.
Open AI.
Open AI.
It's a new one right there.
I made a program
that alerts me
whenever an episode is not uploaded by 5 p.m.
Oh, I see.
On those like platforms?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I see.
On the podcast and also the video format.
Oh, nice, nice, nice.
It automatically runs every day
Good.
at 5.30 just to give it a buffer
and checks if an episode has been uploaded.
Great.
Hopefully this program will work.
So now you can notice it instantly.
Right.
I'll get an email
Yeah, you'll get an email.
if something's not uploaded.
Right, right.
From the company, right?
The huge tech company.
Right, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That you're owning.
That's right.
I own every one of those.
Company stuff.
I see.
Yeah.
最近の出来事：天気と花粉症
How was your week, man?
Good.
Good?
Good, good, as usual.
It was brilliant sunny days
for these 3, 4 days, no?
Yeah.
Sunny.
Bright sunny days?
Yeah, bright sunny days.
Brilliant sunny but not very, very hot.
Oh, yeah.
Not as cold.
Felt like Hawaii, man.
Probably better.
Probably better, I gotta say.
It was good, right?
Just a little bit chilly, though, but, you know,still.
Well, yeah, yeah.
Morning and evening, a bit chilly.
But, you know, great humidity.
Yeah, yeah.
Great, you know, clear skies.
Wind felt so nice.
Oh, yeah.
Today was great, too, you know?
Yeah, a bit cloudy.
Oh, yeah.
The wind was like, you know, it felt good.
Right, right, right, right, right, right.
Yeah, so I was, um...
I thought, like, kafun's gone.
Oh, yeah.
I thought everything's gone.
Now, like, the authentic spring has come to me.
And I was like, yes!
And I, um...
Without anything like masks and glasses.
Medication and stuff.
Yeah, medications and everything.
I just went outside and just strolling around
and just enjoyed the weather and the beautifulday.
That's great.
And walked into the many shops
and, like, didn't buy anything
but, you know, just having fun
and went to the park and everything.
And then just went back to my house
and then it came.
Oh, that's terrible.
After you went back to your house?
I sat down on my desk
and did some sagyo.
Started doing sagyo and everything
and just, hmm, hmm.
Something feels itchy.
Yeah, I feel something, hmm.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They're all still here.
They're still there.
Yes.
You're one of the earlier ones, right?
Earlier seasons, you get those kahuns.
Last week, Kake-chan was like,
My God, the kahun's fucking crazy.
Oh, really?
Last week?
Last week, yeah.
Last Saturday.
Oh, really?
Maybe because I'm taking medicines and everything,so...
Okay.
I was okay.
Yeah.
Until this.
It's...
I never know that you...
There's, like, a time lag.
Yeah.
Between when you're exposed
and when you actually get the symptoms.
Right, right, right, right.
Yeah.
It's the...
True.
It was the evening that I felt.
Okay.
Okay.
And then, just after that, I took medicines.
Uh-huh.
I did some nose spray things
and, like, megacities and everything.
Yeah.
And it just...
Back to the old...
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Medication.
They are still here.
Okay.
They're still there, then.
Yeah.
So that's...
That was my week.
How long do you think it's gonna last?
I believe on...
Historically.
By the end of the April...
Uh-huh.
I feel like it's...
Several weeks left.
They're still there, yes.
Okay.
But in May, usually, I feel good.
Okay.
Yeah.
I see.
So...
初めての歌舞伎鑑賞体験
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm doing good.
That's good.
That's good.
That's good.
Uh...
I went to see a...
Oh, I went to see a Kabuki.
Oh, shit!
For the first time in my life.
Wow, that's great!
Yeah.
Yeah, I went to the Tsukiji...
You know that...
Higashi Ginza no...
Yes.
The popular...
Yeah, yeah.
The one.
Yeah.
And, uh...
Yeah, I watched the whole show, I would say.
That was good.
Oh, yeah.
It was brilliant.
It wasn't difficult as I thought.
Okay.
It...
I thought they speak a bit like, you know, old-fashioned.
Like a...
Yeah, the...
Ancient Japanese.
The Kabuki style.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but it...
Actually, it wasn't.
They spoke...
Well...
Not exactly the same as we are, but...
Kinda...
Mm-hmm.
Easy to understand.
Okay.
Yeah.
Was it, like, modernized?
No, it was a...
Or like the classic...
Yeah, classic...
One of the classics.
So some of, like, the background things,
like historical things and knowledge things,
those are something I didn't understand,
so I had to rely on to the audio guide.
Okay.
And in the audio guide, like, they did come out,like, um...
Kaisetsu.
Oh.
And this guy is, like, originally born insomewhere, somewhere.
Oh, okay.
In this era.
And in Japanese, of course.
Uh-huh.
So with that audio guide,
I completely understand everything.
It was a good experience.
You think I can understand it?
Yeah, yeah.
But some of the terms, like words,
are a bit difficult.
It's like, for example, like,
explaining some Edo era.
Yeah.
They got some Edo-specific terms?
Yeah, they used some, like...
You know, for words, like, um...
Like, um...
I don't know, like, uh...
It's like a joshu.
That's like the master of the castle.
Oh, okay.
Or like han.
Oh, okay.
That's like a smaller version of,
like a prefecture kind of thing.
Oh, okay.
At that age.
So if you're not familiar with those,
like, historical things...
Like, they're not gonna explain all that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They expect that we know, like,
some basic of those.
Okay.
Like, you know...
Like, if you're educated in Japan,
you would have gone through it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So...
It's gonna be a little bit tough for me.
Maybe, but...
But the basic story isn't that difficult.
It's like, um...
The one I saw, I watched,
was there were two little boys.
Mm-hmm.
And one boy was the next, um...
Kabuki master?
Um, the, um...
Tonosama.
Next tonosama.
Oh, the king?
Yeah, king.
The next king.
And the other little kid was, um...
Um, the...
The kaseifu-san.
Like, of this tonos...
Little boy.
The future king.
Future king's kaseifu-san's boy.
Okay.
Son.
And then they grow together, kind of.
Mm-hmm.
And then one is, like, the next king.
Yeah.
And the other one is, you know, one of the...
Sure.
You know, the boys.
Yeah, yeah, sure.
And then, you know, the story goes on like that.
So, it's...
The story itself was very...
Not difficult to understand.
Okay.
Like, um...
I see.
Just like a modern series.
Yeah, I mean, I...
I didn't understand how that's gonna play out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's gonna be some sort of conflict, you know?
Right, yeah, yeah.
All right.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
And, um...
So, kabuki, they have...
I watched, like, five little scenes.
Mm-hmm.
That's how they made.
Like, they split into, like...
Split into, like, five scenes.
Okay.
And each scene has...
Is, like, 30 minutes long.
Mm-hmm.
20, 30 minutes long.
Okay.
And, um...
Of course, you can see the whole story.
Mm-hmm.
Like, five scenes.
But you can choose just one scene.
Okay.
Okay.
You can do that.
So, it's...
Do people do that?
Some people does that.
Like, they just come and just watch 30, 40 minutes
and then just gone.
Okay.
It's, like, um...
It's casual.
It's very...
That's very casual.
Yeah.
I never expected people to do that.
Right, right, right.
Okay.
I thought if you once enter to the kabuki theater,
you have to, like, sit down and...
Yeah, like a movie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But actually, it wasn't like that.
You can...
Mm-hmm.
Just come in and just come out.
Okay.
They have, like, makunouchi bento.
Mm-hmm.
And you can eat at the seat.
Food is allowed?
Yeah.
Oh, I didn't know.
Not during the show, but...
You know, like...
Intervals.
Intervals.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's very casual.
Yeah, it was very casual.
Okay.
And those one split, we call it...
They call it hitomaku.
Hitomaku, futamaku, sanmaku.
And between makus, they eat bento.
So that's why they call it makunouchi bento.
Oh, makunouchi.
And I didn't know that.
And just, wow, this is it.
I see.
Yeah.
Nice.
Did you eat it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wow.
Nice.
I had makunouchi bento, and I bought kabuki age.
They sell it in kabuki theaters.
I bought it.
Oh, so is that why it's kabuki age?
I think so.'
Cause it's, like, so much kabuki stories?Yeah,
I think so.I think
so.I just
eat it.
That's cool.
That's nice.
Yeah, yeah.
You can bring things in.
Oh, so, like, you can bring, like, water?
Sandwiches, yeah.
Just from konbini?
Yeah, yeah.
Wow, very casual.
Yeah.
So, okay.
It's...
I recommend that place.
Yeah, I've wanted to see kabuki.
Yeah.
Or sumos or traditional Japanese art.
Yeah.
Or sports and...
I'm very interested in that sort of thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You should visit that.
It made it easier for me to go.
Yeah, yeah.
And the ticket wasn't that expensive.
Mm-hmm.
And, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll check it out.
Good place to visit.
Nice.
All right.
Thanks for watching, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
