Kpopアーティストの紹介
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hello.
So.
Okay.
This is from
Obapi-san.
Okay.
山ちゃんさん、ケビンさん、こんにちは。
いつもお世話になっております。
ケビンさんはKpopをよく聞かれるとのことで、
ニュージーンズがお好きと
伺いましたが、
他によく聞くKpopアーティストや
初めの曲はありますか?
私はNCTが好きでよく聞きます。
推しはマーク氏です。
よろしければ教えてください。
いつも勉強になります。
ありがとうございます。
Okay.
NUGENES, they just lost their trial.
I've heard it.
Against the door.
Yeah.
Also,
MinHeeJin, you know who?
MinHeeJin started
her own label.
Her own agency.
I don't know what's going to happen but
we just got news that she started her own agency.
Okay.
We're just trying to
find out what's going to happen.
Okay.
Hopefully something would happen.
With NUGENES.
Yeah.
I wonder what Yogo is doing.
I wonder what...
It's the magic of MinHeeJin and Yogo
that made those fantastic music.
I wonder what he's doing.
I've seen his name recently.
Oh, really?
I guess in Japanese.
Oh, shit.
That's great.
But I forget what it was.
I would love to hear more of his artwork.
Yeah.
Who was that? I forget.
But I was like, oh.
There he is.
Oh, Yogo's here.
He's quietly
doing a lot of work.
Doing things with people, I guess.
I see.
As a NUGENES lover,
you're kind of sad?
Yeah, I'm getting very sad
that it's losing
relevancy in this music
industry. People aren't listening to it anymore.
Yeah.
It's kind of sad.
People are forgetting NUGENES.
It's kind of sad.
So, that's that.
Yeah.
Recently,
I'm just listening to the popular
ones, as you guys know.
Le Seraphim.
You know Le Seraphim, right?
Le Seraphim, doing great.
Oh, not
K-pop, but
them.
XG.
The Japanese girls, man.
They're doing really well.
Really well.
You know,
that's it.
Nothing too wild.
I'm just listening to some of the popular ones and that's it.
Okay.
Is there any new stars coming in?
KPopの現状
Still these days?
Nothing big.
Nothing big that I find.
Still like, I don't know,
the huge players
such as like, well, NUGENES
they're kind of
in trouble, but
the, you know,
BLACKPINK.
Yeah, BLACKPINK is still very big.
TWICE, all those.
Big players still there.
Yeah.
What about BTS?
I've heard they're coming.
That's right. I've heard of that too.
I've heard they're done
and they're coming back.
That's what I heard.
But they're not coming back.
I don't know what's happening.
Preparing maybe?
aespa's doing great too.
aespa.
Islet's doing great.
Okay.
I guess they're doing great.
Yeah.
So I guess those big players still
keep going
on their way.
Not many new stars.
Yeah.
Maybe they're too strong.
I guess.
There are players like, I guess,
Hearts2Heart, that's a new one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Babymonster, that's a new one.
Yeah, something like that.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, they're great.
They're great? Okay.
Not much like they didn't
hit you?
No, they're doing great.
Yeah, they're doing great.
I listen to them.
So, yeah.
Who's your favorite?
Do you have
one specific?
Well, that was NUGENES.
Oh, that was NUGENES.
So I don't have any right now.
Or like this guy.
This one
people.
No, sadly.
Yeah.
I've been listening to more
different genres recently.
Like, you know, J-pop.
The Yougaku.
I'm into more
of those, like right now.
I'm listening to,
you know,
the recent J-pops.
The
Yonezu Kenshi.
Utada Hikaru.
Ariana Grande released a new album.
Oh, didn't know that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you're listening now, like, not only K-pops,
but like a lot of genres.
Yeah.
Nothing special, though.
You're kind of
exploring everything.
Yeah, I guess.
I think that stands out
エルトン・ジョンの魅力
for you.
Oh, it stands out for me?
Earth, Wind & Fire.
Earth, Wind & Fire?
Is that a recent hit for you?
Earth, Wind & Fire.
Yeah.
The live version.
Live at Veil Fade.
That's the live version.
That's great.
When was that?
1995 or something?
I guess a bit earlier than that.
Earlier?
I'm not good at those numbers
and everything, but
I don't remember.
Yeah.
It's so good.
The live version is so
perfect.
It's so good.
Okay.
It's so good.
You know,
Earth, Wind & Fire?
They've got
tons of hit songs, right?
And then in live version,
in that album, in that live,
they put in
one long medley.
Okay.
And the way they do that
is so good.
Yeah, the transition is perfect.
The moment the
next song comes in,
that's good.
The rhythm and tempo
and everything is perfect.
Yeah.
Is it?
Everything is perfect.
What is it? What's the keyword
that people should search on YouTube?
Earth, Wind & Fire live at
Veil Fade.
V-E-I-L
F-A-R-I-E, I guess.
Okay.
They're like green version and red version.
Okay.
Both, I guess, basically the same.
So you can choose. So it doesn't matter which one you go for.
Yeah.
It's on all those
streaming services. Got it.
And maybe YouTube too.
And I want to see the video version of it,
but there's no video.
Really?
Unfortunately.
I'd love to see the video version of it.
But unfortunately
not out there.
If you know where it is,
please tell me. I'd love to
pay for that.
Okay.
There you go.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Bye-bye.
