タイトル作成の重要性
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hey guys.
All right.
So, okay.
Oh, I have a question about your talent.
Okay.
Which is, we've talked about in the last episode.
Okay.
You're very good at making titles.
Oh, okay.
And subtitles and everything.
Okay.
I feel like that is a very, very important skill.
Especially for those like contents.
When you want to put out some contents.
Like a thumbnail.
Sure.
The titles.
Yeah.
Those two are, well basically, those two are the only information that you decide you're going to click it or not.
Yeah.
So, I want to learn something.
Okay.
Like if you have any tips.
Oh, okay.
The way you think.
YouTube?
Whatever.
Whatever?
Yeah.
Oh.
Maybe YouTube, maybe?
Yeah, it really comes down to which platform you're working with.
Oh, okay.
Each platform has a different nuance.
Okay.
Like, for example, X has more of a, you know, a little bit of a, you know, edgy vibe to it.
Maybe a little bit like 攻撃的気.
It has more of a negative vibe, you know?
Okay.
You know, yeah.
You need a title for X?
Oh, no, not a title, but like, you know, how you're going to express your words, right?
That's not titling, but you're playing with words, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I see.
Yeah.
Versus like, you know, yeah, YouTube.
Yeah, definitely thumbnail and titling.
Instagram doesn't really have a title, just captions, but it's all about the photos.
But, you know, a shorts video, you can put a title at the beginning.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know?
Right.
Sure.
Yeah.
So, you know, in all platforms, you need at least put out some, like, very important parts,
important oil from the main content, and then you put it into, like, very short sentences.
Oh, yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
And I feel like you're very good at it.
Oh, thank you.
Yeah.
Even though you're saying you're not good at literature, like the words and things,
but I feel like you're very good at those, like, wording.
プラットフォームごとの違い
Oh, thank you.
Yeah, honestly.
Thank you.
Appreciate that.
What do you think when you...
There's not many things.
Well, there's several.
I guess one could be, like, curiosity, right?
Curiosity.
Makes people curious.
That'd be great.
The more I could get people to be curious at what the show's talking about, that'd be great.
And another one is, like, I try to not do clickbaits.
Okay.
You know what a clickbait is?
It's like...
Clickbait is like, I exploded this building.
And then when you click the video, you're not exploding the building.
Oh, I see.
You're kind of lying.
Yeah.
I punched my friend.
Like, in the thumbnail, like, you're about to punch a friend, but you would click it,
you're not punching the friend.
That's a clickbait.
Oh, okay.
Clickbait?
Yeah, bait.
Okay.
You know when you're fishing?
That's bait.
Oh, I see.
Clickbait.
ポッドキャストのタイトル作成
That I try to do, because if you do that, you're going to lose trust.
So, I try not to do that.
Yeah, I guess that's...
That's it?
I also try to, you know, relax in terms of this podcast.
I try to relax and not maybe...
I act it...
I treat it more like an X, like a tweet, rather than a title.
Oh, I see.
Because it's...
I guess it's easier for me to add color.
It's more relaxed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, and it kind of fits the show, I guess.
So, I guess that's it.
I guess that's...
I can't think of anything else.
What title would be to this episode?
This episode?
Yeah.
Well, it could be something like...
That's very straightforward.
That's very straightforward.
But what I don't like about it is like...
That's kind of praising my ability of like...
It kind of makes me feel like I'm the master of...
And I don't like that.
So, maybe I might change it a little bit.
Okay.
Like, I don't know.
Maybe, I don't know.
Maybe tackle it from another angle.
Maybe I might title it from your POV.
Okay.
Something like that.
Just makes it feel like you're having a conversation
instead of like, I'm teaching you how.
Right, right.
That makes it...
Eases the tension of like...
Yeah.
Oh, nice, nice, nice.
Yeah.
I see.
That's very interesting to me.
Is it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because I like building things and write things for very long,
like long, long books.
I like those things.
And I feel like I'm pretty good at those things,
like reading very long.
Yeah.
But I'm not good at like putting things into very short words.
Oh, okay.
Like, you know, those things.
I guess this is a very different skill set, I guess.
So, I want to know the tips.
You know, I'm very bad at long form.
I'm very bad at long form.
So, yeah, very different skill set then, I guess.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
I see, I see.
Yeah.
Because you're very titling and it's very instant, right?
You're not taking like two or three minutes to write one.
Yeah.
You just write it.
Yeah, that's true.
So...
Yeah.
I see, I see, I see.
I see.
I mean, I can't write lyrics.
I don't think I can write lyrics.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Are you satisfied with your lyrics?
Well, yeah, sometimes yes.
Okay.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
But sometimes I feel like...
So, I think I'm relatively good at writing what I just feel.
And beautiful as poem, as lyrics.
Okay.
But sometimes you need something very catchy.
Yeah.
In the lyrics like...
Yeah.
If you see like the top chart.
Yeah.
Songs and you have something very catchy and very, you know.
And that's not in me.
Oh, okay.
I've never tried those things and that has not been in my skill set.
So, I feel like I need to try those things.
タイトル作成の感覚
And to me, it's very close to like titling, like putting into like very...
I see.
You know, preparing something catchy, like a very hook part kind of.
Yeah.
And that's not...
I'm not good at it.
So...
Like, isn't it...
Agree or disagree.
I think that when you try to...
Let's say, if I were to write a song and I have to put something catchy.
Yeah.
That's a little bit...
Okay.
Don't...
No?
Agree?
Disagree?
Like, let's say, for example, APT.
Rosé and Bruno Mars, right?
Yeah.
Let's say I was the first one to come up with that idea.
The lyric is going to be...
That's a little bit embarrassing for me to like publicize that.
Like, you know, it's a little silly, you know?
It doesn't have a strong background.
It doesn't have a strong reason to back up why I went with the APT.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, it's like I'm exposing my sense of like pop.
And it's a little bit...
It's like I'm exposing my dance moves to everyone when I'm not a dancer.
I see.
That's kind of a similar feeling that I get.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I understand that.
Yeah?
Yeah, I agree with that.
Yeah.
True, true, true.
When the lyric has everything has, you know, as a reason behind it, it's not embarrassing.
It's like, the reason why I did this is because, you know, this word relates to this, this
and that.
And my experience is related to that.
But like APT, that has nothing to do probably with...
I don't know.
I'm just assuming here with anything, right?
Anything meaningful.
So, I don't know.
I don't know.
So, like, yeah.
True, true.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Something has to be connected to your experience, your personality, your background.
But like when you try to go for like a hook, right?
It gets less and less of that meaning, don't it?
Right?
You have to go more and more into like, what do you think is going to go viral?
What do you think is going to...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
If you go too much, that's not something I want to make.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right, right.
True, true, true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, I want to balance it, need to like in between.
Yeah.
But I've been like doing this for all my songs that I released.
So, I need to kind of...
Go more on the pop side?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Some, you know, I don't know, like some...
Sprinkle?
Yeah, sprinkles on top.
Yeah, yeah.
Maybe I need to put some strawberry on top kind of?
Yeah, yeah.
I understand.
This is what I feel like I need to do this year.
I see, I see.
But I'm very, very bad at it, so...
Yeah.
Yeah, I want to know if you have any tips, so that's why I...
I don't know.
I don't know if I can help you with that one, though.
Yeah, but to me, it's very, very similar to that sense.
I see, I see.
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
Well, if it helps.
Yeah, and to me, it's a very, very good balance.
Okay, okay.
タイトルとサブタイトルの重要性
There's like topics, the titles and subtitles on Spotify.
Okay.
It fits what we're doing.
At the same time, it's clickable.
It's like clicking.
It's got some sparks in it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Some sprinkles on it.
Okay, I see, I see.
So that's what I want to aiming for.
I see, I see.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So...
Okay, I see.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
