You look blue today.
Do I look blue today?
No, I mean, with the milk that you bought, you brought,
that was, you know, the package was like,
Oh, the milk package?
That was blue, yeah.
Well, you know, just general blue.
Yeah.
And then you brought the coffee cup.
Was that blue?
That was blue, too.
Oh, I didn't realize that.
Yeah, like things like with you was like,
kind of coordinated in blue, one tone.
Okay.
And that's what I found this, you know, that time.
So I was like, yeah.
Yeah.
What?
I was naturally like, blue.
Coordinated.
Coordinated.
Yeah.
And think about that, you know, the couch over there is blue.
That's blue.
The board.
That board is blue, yeah.
Like, I feel like there are many, many blue things.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, sure.
Why not?
Yeah.
Sure.
Like this is the blue.
I mean, that's blue, sure.
Everything looks blue to me.
And, well, I love blue, too.
Oh, yeah.
And feel like I, well, today I don't wear any blue, but this is a navy.
And I got a little cap, which is like, kind of blue.
Yeah.
And what I was thinking is like, I, well, blue is fine.
I love blue.
But as, you know, many people said, and we were saying that we want to be colorful.
We want to be more colorful.
Yeah.
And what color would you choose me?
Oh, okay.
So if you were to be colorful or pop.
Yeah.
Okay.
I feel like you're kind of going like blue.
But it's like blue is like everywhere.
Oh, okay.
So you want to go for something more distinctive.
Yeah, something like, well, red, why not?
Yellow, purple, pink, whatever.
Let me get a color palette on here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I want to be colorful, but what color should I, should I like a, what color do you think
I'm good with?
Okay.
Let me, there's a whole industry of choosing colors, right?
Because there's like a personal color shindan.
I know that.
Yeah.
Have you ever done that for you?
I've never done that.
I've never done that.
Yeah, there are some friends told me like, oh, you were like a, I forget that.
But like, oh yeah, thank you.
Yeah, things like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So me being, oh, not under, what was that?
No, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but did you say like you once tested personal color shindan
and then like see...
Oh yeah, I think I did.
Yeah, yeah.
And went to the, but the difference was like really slight for you and you didn't even
appreciate that.
Yeah.
I could, I really forgotten the background of why I did that, but yeah, I remember doing
it and I remember giving me the result of which one it was, which I completely forgot.
So I don't remember which one I was categorized in, but yes, I remember doing that.
Yeah, popped in my mind.
Has not helped me even a slight bit.
Yeah. Okay.
Yeah.
I don't, there was never a time where in my life I was like, let me choose what color
clothes to wear.
I was like, oh wait, I was, uh, not, has not happened ever, ever.
Yeah.
Because the result wasn't like something you go good.
It looks good with pink or yellow.
It seems like it's like red, this red.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Exactly.
It gave me a concept.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Um, so me not knowing that realm at all.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm just going to look at all the colors and see if it matches you or not.
Yes.
Right.
Give you the one that I think matches.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right.
Uh, what are you looking?
I'm looking at, I, I typed in the word color palette on Google and I just gave me all these.
Yeah.
But don't say like black or white or like Navy.
Right.
That's too boring.
Yeah.
Say something super vivid.
Okay.
Yeah.
Uh, let's see.
Maybe I dye my hair.
Maybe.
色選びのプロセス
And wait, do you want me to tell you what color hair looks good on you or clothes?
Um, is that different?
The thought process is different.
Like it's like, I'm imagining you with that color, like, like, I don't know if it'll
ultimately be the same, but like, at least like the process will be different from me.
Oh, okay.
You know?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I guess you, you, I guess one step closer to a professional cause I thought it's like
whole same, like one color, but, um, I would say, um, um, close please.
Close.
Close.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, how about green?
Green.
How about green?
How about that?
Green.
What do you think about green?
Well, yeah, I love greens.
You like green?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, is that like a, how green is that?
Like, uh, you know.
Well, I'm looking at this wheel color wheel.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
So it's, it's kind of basic green, green.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not too bright though.
Yeah.
It's not dark.
It's not bright.
Not like the type of green that sort of like wakes you up when you look at a color.
It's like, it's a calmer, more of a moss greenish kind of color.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
This one?
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I want to try something like, maybe like something like shirt of this color, maybe?
Sure.
Yeah.
Sure.
Why, why did you think this?
Well, I just, it's, it was a process of elimination, I would say.
What about like those, like more kind of, you know, vivid ones, like.
Like vivid color?
Yeah, like those, like, you know.
Like the one that's shining?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know if any of those go well.
The process of elimination, how it went was like all these bright colors was like, just,
I don't know if it would look good on you.
Like if it was too bright.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'd like it when it's more toned down.
I see.
Is what I thought.
More like fit me.
Yeah.
So if it's anything that's too bright, I don't know if it would.
It doesn't fit me.
Okay.
All right.
I mean, that's coming from a non-professional, right?
Non-expert colorist.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
髪色の選択肢
What about hair then?
About hair?
Completely different process of thinking?
Yeah.
If it's hair, I'd be like, let me get a list of hair colors.
Okay.
But it can be green.
It can be anything?
Yeah.
Like a, you know, like Billie Eilish green.
Okay.
Or like a, whoever, like a.
Like Joker purple?
Yeah, of course.
Why not?
Was Joker purple?
Was he purple?
Red maybe, purple.
Or like white maybe.
I'm now like open for any.
Anything?
You know.
Anything?
Yeah.
Ah, okay.
But I'm not sure if I really go for that or not, but just.
How about ash gray?
Ash gray.
Like this.
It's like.
I know the, I know Kashu.
I know.
The guy, the one that, the guy that sings like this.
Tamaki Koji.
I thought, yeah.
Tamaki Koji is that name.
It's true.
It's like a white gray ash white hair.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Tamaki Koji.
Looks like a, looks like a.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I love him by the way.
Yeah.
Like that.
Yeah.
Okay.
A little bit too white than what I was expecting.
I was more going for a grayish color, but yeah.
Okay.
Well, yeah, like him.
Like, like this one.
Yeah.
Okay, okay, okay.
Um, yeah.
Okay.
Or something like this.
I don't know what you, what color you'd call this.
Like a brown base, light brown base with a highlight.
Okay.
Of gold highlights.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like a little bit like a Tsuji-san.
That's true.
Slightly like a Tsuji-san.
Oh, that's true.
That's true.
But more, I guess, brown on the base color.
How about this one?
I know.
What's his name?
Oh, is he?
Oh, he kind of looks like, um.
I know, I know.
What's his name?
He's a singer and an artist.
Sorry, he's a singer and an actor.
Oh.
I know.
What's his name?
Kitamura-san.
Yeah, him.
Dish.
Dish.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yeah.
Kind of looks like him.
He looks like the guy from Dish.
Yeah, but it's not him.
But the color, what do you call the color?
Orange, I would say.
ヘアカラーの選択
It's like, yeah.
Red, orange.
Red, orange.
Yeah.
Golden orange.
Yeah, golden orange.
Something like that.
Oh, not bad.
I think this would kind of look good on you.
On me?
Yeah.
I like that.
So orange, like this one.
Orange, red.
Or gray, white.
Yeah.
Gray.
If it's like ash, I think it has to be long.
Like if it's short and ash, you look kind of like
someone that loves to put speakers on their cars and then drive places obnoxiously.
Yeah, I get it.
Yeah, someone from the ocean side.
Someone from the ocean side.
Yeah, that's right.
I get it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What about like orange hair?
Can it be like short?
Um, you know, I think with any color, if you do it on a short hair,
it would make you look like a guy that loves skinny jeans with bright colored sneakers.
So I think you do have to kind of be careful with that.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
It's a shortcut with the color on.
Yeah.
I think for me, for me though.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I just think it looks kind of like-
I mean, they're okay.
They're good.
Yeah.
But the problem is if it fits me or not, the style.
Yeah.
The whole concept.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, absolutely.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I get it.
Do you have any plans to get your hair longer?
Um, like how long?
Long.
Like Tamaki calls you long.
Like this long.
Him, like this picture.
Well, um, not today at least.
Okay.
Yeah.
Maybe in the future.
Maybe in the future.
Yes.
Yes.
But, um.
Okay.
Do you have any, uh, plans of going short like this?
Like this short?
Can be.
Is it possible?
This is more like, more like a higher possibility to me.
Oh, okay.
Today.
Okay.
As of today.
I'm shorter than this by the way.
Yeah.
But not this hairstyle though, but it's like a shorter than that.
Ah, I see.
Yeah.
I see.
Hmm.
But if I do this top and put a color on.
Yeah.
And that looks.
Like you're stepping into that zone of, of, of, of, of, um,
of midnight combini.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Midnight combini sitting at the brick, the car, the wheel stopper brick.
Yeah.
Getting into that zone of, uh, midnight donkey.
Okay.
Yeah.
You are.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
I get it.
Right.
Yeah.
I'm not saying it's bad.
I'm just saying that's the genre you're getting into.
I'm just stepping into it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
I understand.
That's.
Yeah.
And I understand it.
Yeah.
I get it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I would not want to see you in like these colors where it's like
very bright.
Emerald color.
Yeah.
Blue, green.
Blue.
Yeah.
I don't know what color this is.
Yeah.
I don't even know how to order this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But you don't, you don't want me to do this.
It's just too, you're just like, what happened to you?
Like, are you mentally okay?
Like, did something happen?
Like, are you experiencing PTSD and you're struggling to overcome it?
Are you, or are you in a mental situation where you cannot figure yourself out?
Yeah.
Where you have not found yourself and kind of in a
zone where you're just starting to lose grasp of reality?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I get it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You recommend me green though.
Well, I mean, that was a question framed differently.
Okay.
You kind of wanted a, an extreme color, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So that was the answer for that.
Okay, okay, okay.
But if I were to be more like calmer, like I wouldn't go so far as like to like super poppy,
super like bright color though.
It's just, it's always a risky road to take, don't you think?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what, that's what we, that's what we are, you know, choosing like basic colors.
By the way, what do you think about this shirt?
Does it hurt your eyes?
Look, I get comments saying sometimes, like not from the videos, but like the actual friends
say, Hey, your shirt hurts my eyes.
Like when you look into it, it just, you get dizzy.
Not me.
Because the stripes are too thin.
It just kind of blurs you.
It just kind of like tricks you into like, Oh, I can't get a grasp of the focus point.
ストライプとその影響
Oh, none of that.
Completely fine to me.
None of that.
I have no problem.
Okay.
No.
Yeah.
No, that's good.
Yeah.
That's good.
True.
Like when, um, like a few years ago, we've got a curtain with the stripes or like when
Kage-chan wears something like stripes.
Yeah.
And then there are comments that it looks chika chika surun de.
That's right.
That's right.
Oh, I've never felt that.
You've never felt the chika chika-ness from anything?
Well, you're just good at that.
You're just really strong against the stripes.
Sometimes I see the screens.
Sometimes I do.
Oh, it's like kind of chika chika shiteru.
Oh, okay.
Well, but in real, like, it's, no, it's good.
It's good.
You can look at me?
No problem?
Yeah.
Okay.
That's good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's good.
But if many of your friends say that, then...
Yes, my friends do say that.
That's maybe...
You should...
It's not something strange.
It's really like a basic one.
Stripes are a very common form of pattern.
Right.
Right?
Right.
Yeah, just wanted to ask.
Yeah.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
