Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hey guys, how's it going?
Are you connected today?
I am connected today.
My wireless mic is being charged.
Oh, I see.
Yep.
That's why.
That's right.
Wired, wired microphone.
Completely wired microphone.
This is, the Rode microphone's working great.
Yeah, I feel so.
Yeah, it's a pretty decent product, I would say.
Yeah.
Yeah, I like it.
Me too.
I like it, yeah.
Quality fine.
It's very small.
I know.
Looks pretty.
It looks pretty?
It's not like bulky, like huge, you know.
Yeah, right.
One of those big ones.
Right.
And they do the automatic backup and...
Yeah.
We've been saved by that stuff a few times, Igotta say.
Yeah.
True.
So do you...
So you have like a...
Its own like storage?
Yeah, so this is the microphone and you have themicrophone.
And those two are connected by the receiver rightthere.
Sorry, but each microphone, you and I, we bothhave an internal memory in the mic.
So we have a separate file in each other's mics.
So if something were to happen, we just combinethe two and boom.
That's cool.
So you have to delete some data?
Yeah, it deletes automatically.
Oh, it does?
Wow.
Yeah, the old ones get deleted automatically.
New ones get...
Yeah.
That is great.
Right.
It's the backup.
Like literally, it's the backup.
Right, automatic backup.
Wow.
Pretty good.
Pretty good.
Pretty nice.
Yeah.
That's nice.
Right.
One little bad thing about this is we only havetwo microphones.
I know.
One time.
That's right.
The third one, right?
Yeah.
If we were to have guests, then we're veryvulnerable.
Yeah.
Right?
The amount of microphones we had, when we hadKurapi-san here, one, two, three, four,
five, I think five or six audio backup.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
If you had like three microphone of this one,exact same one, that's perfect.
Right, right.
That would be perfect.
Is it possible you can expand?
I guess technically, yes.
Remember we have one in the studio?
There's the four one, but it's not, I don't seeany of the major companies doing it.
I see.
Yeah.
The one we have is like a weird Chinese, somerandom company out there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I see.
So it's not like we buy like new pair ofmicrophones and then we can connect and things.
03:00
I don't think it works like that.
Yeah, I think it's, yeah.
I don't think it works like that.
Right.
Still.
Yeah.
Still though, right.
If you compare the audio to when we had, rememberthe Tascam setup?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We had the fader here.
Like a mixer here.
Right, mixer right here.
And then like a boom microphone-ish kind of setupwith the arm and everything.
Yeah.
If you compare the audio, it is pretty differentactually.
The Tascam setup feels much more like dense.
Oh, okay.
Much more like it's deep.
It feels more like a radio.
I see.
Yeah.
You mean it's like more like a noisy?
Oh, sorry.
I meant like not radio, more like, you know, likea broadcast.
I see.
Like a legit broadcast TV or something like that.
It sounded more professional.
It sounded like I'm hearing myself on a commercialTV.
I see, I see, I see.
It did.
Compared to that, this is more like a natural?
It feels more, you know, the audio feels lighter.
Yeah, I see, I see.
Yeah.
I see.
More like a casual, more like an iPhone recording.
That's right.
It feels like the sensor is much more smaller.
Yeah.
Lighter and compact.
It does.
Maybe it's better for like these podcasts, likecasual podcasts.
It's more natural for the audience.
I mean, the huge merit that I'm feeling is the,you know,
how easy and lightweight it is with the setup.
That makes it so casual and great.
Yeah.
I would say.
Because we used to carry that like big mixer andmicrophones.
That was a huge, yeah, that was huge.
So, right.
This is so much better.
Yeah.
Because with this, we can go anywhere we want to.
That's right.
That's right.
That's right.
We can, yeah.
Yeah.
So, right.
So how's your week, man?
Oh, I did a Osaka live show.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
I just came back yesterday.
Okay.
Okay.
From Osaka.
Good?
Good.
Yeah.
I did two shows at Osaka.
Okay.
The first show, I would say the best act in mylife so far.
Oh my God.
Ah, it was good.
You said you were now used to the whole.
Yes.
Atmosphere.
Yes.
And the harmony and everything.
Yeah.
Microphones and band and everything.
You're comfortable and.
Yeah.
Wow.
That's great.
Yeah.
Usually like the first show, when we do like firstshow and second show,
first show is more like a, more like a, like acalm, more like a bit,
bit like nervous.
It's starting.
Okay.
And the second show would be like completely likeblast out.
And like, it's like a festival.
Okay.
But this time the first show was like great.
Like my feeling was nice.
06:00
Nice.
The energy was very like, you know.
High.
High and like very on point.
That's great.
Not too high, not too low.
It's good.
That's great.
Yeah.
Nice.
And then on the second show, I wanted to, becauseI did the best act on the first show,
I wanted to do a bit more.
Like I wanted to change something.
Okay.
To make it more like a better show.
Okay.
And I think I didn't, I, I, yeah, I, it didn'twork well.
Oh, what did you do?
I don't know.
I just wanted to, I just wanted something to behappened.
Okay.
But, um, yeah, I just, it was, um.
It didn't work out.
Yeah.
I mean, you said it was the best show yet.
I mean, what happened?
First show was the best.
Okay.
And the second show, I mean, it was a good show.
I did, um, including the audience and everything,it was a pretty beautiful night.
But on my side, you know, there were like, liketoo many amount of, um, intentional,
um, like, uh, I, I tried too much to makesomething.
Oh, okay.
I wasn't like my, my mind wasn't.
What did you like?
Did you try to talk to the audience?
I talked too much.
I played, I played the guitar and piano a littlebit.
And I did, you know, too much.
Um.
You played around too much?
Yeah, too much.
And just did a little mistake.
And, okay.
Because I wanted, yeah, I did it too much.
Oh, I see.
Okay.
Well, I mean, it was worth it.
Yeah.
Right.
It was worth it.
Yeah.
It's a new, new learning for me.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But overall, it was very lovely.
Good night.
That's great.
That's great night.
Yes.
That's great.
And, uh, and next week.
Yeah.
This week, Yokohama.
This week, Yokohama.
And this is the last show.
And the last show.
All right.
So two, two, two shows.
Two shows.
Again, with Yokohama.
Yes.
Billboard.
Yes.
Nice.
I feel like I can do the better show.
Even better show than Osaka first.
All right.
So.
I learned so many things.
Nice.
Yeah.
So not to do it too much.
That was one of the learnings.
The biggest learn was like, I have to let myselfgo with the flow.
Okay.
Like not to, you know, try to twist.
Okay.
Too much.
You're talking about the vibe.
Yeah.
The vibe.
Like the room.
Yeah.
The song.
Okay.
Like MCs and everything.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You don't want to try to like manipulate like thevibe.
Try to like brighten it up.
09:01
Even if it's not, you know, the engine's not fullthrottle yet.
Yeah.
Okay.
Just let it, let it go.
Let it be.
Not like try to tweak too much.
Oh, okay.
Play as it should be.
Like naturally.
I see.
The best state of everything.
I see.
That's what I learned.
Wow.
Well, that's a great learning.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Honestly.
Absolutely worth it.
Right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Nice.
You know, it's like when we have conversation withfriends or like, I don't know, whatever
and everything.
If you try to do something and like, you know.
You try to make everybody laugh like forcefully.
Yeah.
If you try too hard.
Right.
Like people can read that.
Yeah.
And like you, you kind of, kind of.
Or like he's trying.
Yeah.
Like, you know.
I understand.
Yeah.
The best thing is just everything goes as itshould be.
Like nobody tries hard.
Yeah.
Like everybody's like being natural.
Okay.
And like, yeah.
