Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
All right. We are doing our...
Oh, yeah.
...eikaiwa lesson.
Yeah, English class.
Which is fresh.
Yeah, yeah, it is.
All right, let's continue the...
Yeah, thank you.
So, um, um...
So, where are... where was I?
Oh, Haaland.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, he's got... he's got everything this season.
Mm-hmm.
This season, right?
This season, yeah.
This season. And still, he's very young, so he has, like, about 10 years to play.
Okay.
So, still, he is very young.
Yeah.
Makes sense.
But, like, he's still very young.
It's even more natural.
That makes very... so much sense.
Yeah.
True.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
When you say, still, he's very young, that means, like...
Yeah.
さっき言ってたことはあるけれども、だけどまだ彼は若い。
Yeah.
まあ、意味は一緒かもしれないけど、
But that's very important.
Yeah.
Yes, yes.
流れ的には、he's still very young のほうが...
Yeah.
That's right, that's right.
Oh.
Young.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
I mean, you're very... very good at English, yeah?
Well, I thank you.
Thank you.
I should use this for my job or something, you know?
True, you should put some content on...
I should put some...
Yeah.
Right, I should speak English on the internet, see if I can make some content, right?
That's a good idea, actually.
I might do that.
So, he's still young.
Yes.
And so, these few, I guess, 10 years will be his...
These few 10 years, that's...
That doesn't make sense.
That doesn't make sense.
These few 10 years.
These few 10 years means like...
23...
No, no, sorry.
I want to say 10 years.
10 years.
So, these few years.
These few years or these 10 years.
Right, that's 10 years.
Okay.
So, this 10 years...
10 years.
Yeah, this 10 years will be his era.
This coming 10 years.
Yeah, that's good.
Right, that's what I wanted to say.
This coming 10 years will be his era.
Just like these 10 past years has been like Messi's era or Ronaldo's era.
This is going to be...
Holland.
Never even heard of his name though.
Really?
So, we have two huge stars in like recent football world.
03:00
One is Haaland.
Okay.
One is Mbappé.
Yeah, Mbappé I've heard of.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The bald guy, right?
Yeah.
What?
The bald guy, you know?
Yeah, bald guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Very fast guy.
Not bald, but like he's very...
Yeah, like, you know.
Yeah, sports guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That guy.
So, these two will be like Messi, Ronaldo, kind of Mbappé, Haaland.
Those two, not these two.
Oh, those two.
Yeah, those two.
Those two will be like Messi, Ronaldo, kind of like two biggest stars in the world.
And they're both still very...
They're both still very young.
Yeah, they're both still very young.
So, that's what happened in this year.
Haaland just like broke every team.
Broke every team up?
No, has beaten every team?
Yeah.
Has defeated every team?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Haaland has defeated like every team in every countries.
Right.
So, yeah.
Right.
Talk to me about something that...
Talk to me about, okay, Tokyo.
Tokyo?
Yeah.
Any place you've been recently, you've been to recently, you've went to recently?
Something that you enjoyed?
I went to Roppongi.
Oh, okay.
Was two, three days ago.
All right.
I went to a live show.
Okay.
In a live house called Billboard.
Yes, I know that, yeah.
That's in Roppongi.
And I went to the Billboard to see the live performed by Eric Benet.
Okay.
That's a R&B singer from the United States.
Okay.
And I went there.
So, you want me to explain about this like more like city?
No, just tell me about the show.
Okay, okay.
How was the show?
Okay, so the show was very good.
Okay.
First of all, it was very energetic, very touching.
Okay.
And very smooth at the same time.
Wait, smooth?
What are you trying to say by smooth?
So, one moment he had very loud and like dancing beats, like very hard songs.
Everybody was just dancing and clapping.
At the same time, he had like very chilled, sweet, mellow, smooth R&B love songs.
I see, I see, I see.
Yeah.
So, you had two genres.
Two...
Yes, yes, yes.
Bipolar genres.
Yeah, two bipolar genres.
Yeah, that's a new word for me.
Magyaku?
06:00
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ryokyokutanna?
Like a South Pole, North Pole.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bipolar, yes, yes, yes.
So, he's got like very funky songs with, you know, drummer.
Yeah.
He was very big.
Like physically big?
Yeah, physically big.
He's almost like this big and he was very tall and he brought his backpack on his stage.
I don't know what...
Backpack?
Yeah, what was inside, but he brought his backpack on the stage.
God.
I don't know what...
Yeah.
What he was trying to do.
But anyways, he was very big and he sounded very loud and that made, you know, stage.
He performed very loudly.
Ah, right.
When you say he sounded very loud, that means he himself emitted the noise.
Talk loudly?
Yeah, like talk loudly or like he walked loudly.
His performance was loud, right?
Yes, yes.
Drumming was loud.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right.
So, he performs very loudly.
He performed very loudly.
He performed very loudly.
Yeah.
His drums was very loud.
Yes.
And very strong.
Yeah.
So, that made, that gave, you know, the whole stage so many like power, energy.
So much power.
So much power.
Yeah, yeah.
That's one common mistake I guess I make.
Much and many.
Much and many?
Yeah.
That's scrambling.
Yeah.
So, that was amazing.
Can I keep going?
Yes, yes.
Yeah, yeah.
In many cases, actually, I'm not that into like those love songs actually.
Okay.
Like, you know, there are so many love songs in the world.
Like singing, oh, I was in love with her.
Yeah.
But she's gone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I'm still thinking about her.
Yeah.
And I always feel like I don't care, kind of.
That's your problem.
Yeah, it's your problem.
I don't actually, like, I don't sympathize to that song so many times.
Right.
So, I prefer like more like singing about dreams or like lives, like friendships or like
more like it could be political.
Instead of saying lives, singing about dreams or singing about lives.
Yeah.
If you say singing about lives, that kind of means like singing about lives.
I wanted to say like,
Singing about life.
That would be singing about life, not singing about lives.
Lives is more,
Yeah.
It's life.
Life.
Not live.
Yeah.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
09:02
So, I have a question.
Yeah.
I wanted to say like multiple lives.
Oh, so people's lives.
Yeah, like people's lives.
Yeah, you would say people's lives.
Right, right.
If you say lives, that means like more
Inochi.
Yeah, I get that vibe.
Oh, I see.
Thanks, thanks.
So, singing about dreams, people's life.
Yeah, lives.
What did I say?
People's life.
Oh, people's lives.
Yeah, there you go.
Oh, okay.
I see.
People's life.
People's, no, you said people's lives.
People's lives.
Yeah, yeah.
People's lives or like world environment or like friendships.
World environments.
World environments.
I don't know.
Yeah, it's a kind of world environment.
Okay.
But I'm up to...
World environments, you know, like friendships or like,
or like, more like, like a general love.
Not like, like, oh, my girlfriend or something like those,
but like more like humanity things.
Like more, like, you know, deep love.
All those songs are what I'm into.
But if they sing about, if they sing about...
Yeah, that's another common mistake you make.
If they sings about, right?
If they sings or sing.
It should be if they sing about.
If they sing about, yes, yes, yes.
I suck at this sometimes, but like, yeah.
Yeah, thanks, thanks, thanks.
Those two are common grammar mistakes.
Yeah, if they sing about those, like, oh, I had a girlfriend.
And like, it makes me like feel the distance from the performer.
Right.
Is what happens all the time.
And especially like R&B singers, they...
It makes me feel, you said it makes me feel the distance.
Yeah.
I think you should say it makes me feel distant from the singer.
Distant.
Yeah.
Or it makes me feel a distance, a distance, instead of saying the distance.
That's very precise and difficult.
Yeah, it is very, a slight sort of difference.
But I want those things.
Right, right, right, right.
Oh, a distance.
Yeah, a distance.
If you say the distance, that's like...
12:01
So you want to put, you want to change it into a, or I feel distant.
Distant.
Yeah.
Wow.
That's very interesting.
So that makes me feel a distant, distance.
Is that weird?
It makes me feel distant.
Oh, it's better.
Okay.
Makes me feel distant from the performer.
But this time, Eric Benet, he performed many love songs.
Talking about, singing about his lover, or like his girlfriend, like his, you know,
things, histories.
But I don't know why, but that was very, like, smoothly came into my mind.
That, okay.
Okay.
Can you say what you just said?
Do you remember?
I don't remember.
Okay, okay.
I think you said smoothly came into my mind.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All those things smoothly came into my mind.
Yeah.
So I think what you're trying to say is like, in Japanese, it would be...
It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All those things came into my...
All those things smoothly came into me.
Oh, came into me.
Yeah.
I see.
If you think about it in a flat way, all those things resonated.
Resonated.
Easily resonated.
Resonated, I guess.
So I easily resonated.
Easily resonated.
Wow, this is very fun.
I resonated really...
It came natural to me.
Ah, right.
Came natural to me.
Yeah.
Right, right, right, right.
I really felt him.
It came natural to me what he was saying in his message.
Yeah, that's what I wanted to say.
Yes, that was it.
Right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It came very naturally.
Nah, it came very natural to me.
Okay, it came very natural to me.
Yeah.
That's a phrase, right?
That's a...
I see.
Yeah.
It came natural to me as a jyukugo.
15:02
That means...
Okay, so it came natural to me.
To me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What he...
Like, I guess the way he sang, like...
Like...
Yeah.
He was singing about love, but more like a bigger love, like human love.
I see.
So that's why it was almost first time...
It was almost first time?
It was almost first time...
It was almost the first time?
Sorry?
It was almost the first time?
Yeah.
That's very fair side.
It was almost the first time for me to felt.
Feel?
Oh.
Yeah.
Is that feel?
Yeah, it's feel.
It was almost the first time...
I don't know what you're trying to say after that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can you continue the sentence?
Yeah.
It was almost the first time for me to felt.
Oh, right.
Yeah, it's feel.
Okay.
So it was almost the first time for me to feel.
Yeah.
In that way.
Feel that way.
Yeah.
That's right.
Feel that way.
Yeah.
From those love songs.
Okay.
That stage made me want to write any kind of love song.
Oh.
So that was very fresh to me and so like inspiring.
The stage is very inspiring.
I see.
Yeah.
Let me get to...
Wow.
Let me get to the reviewing on the next episode.
Yeah, please. Thank you.
Okay. Wow, this is...
Wow.
This is new, right? It's great.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
