Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Getting your English on a higher level.
Okay, okay.
Ah, the reservations. Okay.
Yeah.
Okay, so...
Okay.
I have a...
So, every year, I set up kind of like a...
Like a phrase. I make a phrase.
Okay.
For this year.
Okay.
Like a few years ago was like 晒す。
Was the word. Was the theme.
Okay.
Right, I remember that. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, after that, every year I set out those phrases.
And then this year, it's a phrase.
Okay.
It's...
Well, it's embarrassing to say this, so...
Oh, okay.
Give it to me.
Was that...
Is that that embarrassing?
Like, what kind of embarrassment are we talking about?
It's my goal, so...
It's like I feel a bit uncomfortable of like saying in public, but...
Well, it's not that much, but...
Okay, okay.
Anyway, so I'll talk about the different ones then.
All right.
Okay, the plans about my music then.
Okay, sure. Give it to me.
Yes, yes, yes.
I'm going to do the second My Life on April 3rd.
Oh, yeah.
Yes, yes, yes.
Oh, shit. Wait.
We got the date?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, April 3rd.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, it's April 3rd.
That's like a fixed...
It's a fixed date.
Yeah.
Oh, shit. Okay.
We're preparing.
We're kind of preparing for that day.
And so that's like the first step of this year.
That's my journey.
And then like second step would be like I would love to, if it's possible, do a kind of touring for Japan.
Yeah.
Yeah.
In Japan?
In Japan.
Yeah.
In Japan, yes.
Like 47 every cities, but like maybe like Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka.
Prefecture.
Oh, yes.
Yeah, 47 prefectures.
Yes, yes, yes.
Like Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, maybe Sapporo, if it's possible.
Those ones.
Those like major cities.
Yes, major cities.
Like two, three major cities.
And like going to the small houses and do the gigs.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
Hopefully.
That's my plan.
Around November, December, August, like late this year.
Late this year?
Shit.
03:00
Late this year.
Shit's moving fast.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No?
Right, right, right.
Right.
We're moving really fast.
Yeah, true.
That's my plan.
And yeah, other than that, besides that, I'm planning to make an album, like a physical album for the first time.
Okay.
And releasing some digital songs.
Okay.
Like songs through the, you know, the distributions.
Like, you know, streaming services, Spotify and all that stuff.
Yeah.
Amazon Music.
Amazon Music, obviously.
Obviously.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But finally, like I would love to make a physical one.
Okay.
It could be CD, it could be like, I don't know, record.
Yeah.
And yeah, that's one plan.
I'm planning making it around summer time.
I'm planning to make it around summer?
What did I say?
You said, I'm planning making it around.
Oh, yes.
Yeah.
I'm planning to make it.
Yeah.
I'm planning to make it around summer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm planning to make it, make those LPs.
Okay.
Around summer times.
What's an LP?
It's like a.
It's like a.
Landing page?
Yeah, true.
It's like a analog vinyls, like a record.
Ah, okay.
I see, I see, I see.
Yeah.
Or CD.
Yeah.
That's, that's basically my like plan.
Okay.
Yeah.
Wow.
And after the live show on April, you have to see the numbers, like how many people are
interested in that show.
Okay.
How many people are seeing my show and everything like that.
And kind of see the numbers and then decide if we can do that tour or maybe not.
And then, yeah, if the numbers are not enough, I have to like do something, some campaigns
to like boost the numbers that having interest to me.
Ah, you have to do a campaign that would boost the number of people that would join my.
Yes, yes.
Join your concerts.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I have to do that.
If the numbers were not enough, I have to do the campaigns to boost my, what did you
say?
To boost my.
To boost the numbers, boost the people.
Yeah, boost the amount of people that would possibly join my concerts.
Yes, that's what I want to say.
So maybe I haven't decided yet what to do.
Wow.
Maybe.
Is that different from like, for example, you would do a show in Tokyo?
How's that different from, isn't that several individual shows done in each places?
Like why do you have to recalculate the numbers?
06:05
Because they say, they means like the companies, like those event companies guy.
They meaning, they meaning.
Yeah, meaning the event guys.
Okay, yeah.
So they say, they said that.
Event planners?
Yeah, event planners.
Yeah.
Like event, yeah, event planners.
Yeah, they said like, they said that they, they think, they said that they thought.
Okay, oh yeah.
They thought, you know, Tokyo is a big city.
Yes.
So there are many people living in Tokyo.
Like around Kanto area.
I see.
They can come to Tokyo easily.
I see.
If you take a look at like Kyushu, might be not many people are interested in.
But the cost for the live house is lower, right?
Yes, yes, yes.
So it's, isn't that going to balance it out?
Yeah, that's true.
Could be balanced because of the lower rent.
But it's also difficult to find live houses, actually.
Because in Tokyo, there are many numbers of like big ones and small ones.
Okay.
But for example, like in Osaka.
I mean, they have some places, but not many as Tokyo has.
Not as many as what Tokyo has.
Yes, not as many as what Tokyo has.
Yeah.
So we have to be careful about which size and where to do the live.
I see.
And based on the numbers that I have now.
I see.
Yeah.
Okay.
That's my plan.
You know, I've been doing this music not for like numbers for many years.
Just making music is the main thing.
Yes, yes.
And that's still the main thing to me.
But now kind of, you know, now talking with those company guys and like planners and musicians.
Then like they are very professionals.
So they always, you know, kind of think this music as a business, obviously.
Then they are like more like focusing on some stats and like numbers.
Right.
Yeah, so.
Right.
And I understand the numbers are the power.
So, yeah.
Is that sort of like a friction that you're feeling?
This day not yet became friction.
So today it hasn't been.
It's still not.
I haven't been feeling any friction yet.
09:01
Oh, yes.
That's right.
Yeah.
I haven't been feeling any friction yet.
Because it's within like my understanding.
Okay.
But if it goes like too much of like numbers, like numbers, how do you say numbers?
Profits.
Profits.
Or like numbers focusing, numbers juicy.
Well, if it starts to focus too much on the numbers.
Yes.
That's right.
Yeah, they start to.
Start.
Yeah.
They start to put like values, too much values on those numbers.
Then it could be.
A potential problem.
Yeah.
Potential like frictions.
Yeah.
But at the same time, I do understand the numbers are very important.
Right.
So, yeah.
Right.
Right.
So, within my comfort, like one, two steps out from the comfort zone, I, yeah, I would
try.
You're open to trying.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
To get attentions.
I see.
I see.
Yeah.
You kind of have to be careful.
You don't go too far out the circle.
Right.
Right.
Right.
I see.
Yeah.
Interesting.
That's what I'm planning.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's what I'm planning.
Yes.
Yeah.
That's right.
Yeah.
Good stuff, though.

Of course.
Yeah.
Anytime.
Thank you.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Oh, those are good.
I think that was, you know, I wasn't, I didn't find any mistake as much as I did.
Oh, really?
Probably not compared to last time, bro.
True.
True.
Yeah.
Yeah, like if I explain something, then it will be more difficult for me.
Right.
Yeah.
But, yeah, true.
I felt a bit more smooth, a bit smoother than the last time.
Yeah.
I think we can keep this up.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Thank you.
All right.
That's good.
Yeah.
All right.
But like small s or like small two or like.
Does that help?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That helps?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.

Thank you.
Bye-bye.
