虎ノ門ヒルズの物件について
Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
Hello.
It's a great view.
I know.
Every time I come to this building, I always think, what a view.
Yeah.
What a view.
I think this is like one of the best views in Tokyo, maybe.
I think so.
Like, this office is great.
Yeah.
I wonder how they're doing it.
We're lucky.
We're a little lucky.
That we're able to use this place.
We are.
You can see the tower, the Skytree.
The Skytree, yes, you can.
And it's, you get, I mean, the whole floor is this 事務所, right?
So, like, if you go to the other side, you can look at, what, the Roppongi side.
The Tokyo Tower.
The Tokyo Tower, Shibuya, Shinjuku.
Almost any city that you'd want to look at is viewable.
It's pretty amazing.
Pretty amazing.
Yeah.
It's great.
If you, you know, Skytree is higher and they have 天保台, right?
If you go to 天保台 with Skytree, obviously you have the view, but you cannot see the Skytree.
That's right.
That's right.
If you go to Tokyo Tower, it's the same thing.
You cannot see the Tokyo Tower.
I guess from here, I mean, you can look at Skytree from a pretty decent height.
You're not looking down at it, but it's pretty, like, you know, pretty decent height.
And, I mean, you don't have to see this building.
It's just a building, so it's just a boring old building.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But even though it is new, though, this building's pretty new, right?
Is this something you had dreamed of, now?
Being inside one of those buildings?
Yeah, it is, yeah.
Right.
I think about it every time I get here.
I always wanted to be in that picture that I was looking at from Rome, Georgia, you know?
Pictures of Tokyo.
This is what you see.
Right.
What you saw.
Now I'm part of it.
Yeah.
Exciting.
Yeah.
Very exciting.
It's good.
It's great.
I mean, this floor, this jimusho is too gorgeous, I would say.
Yeah.
Too fancy.
I do want to look at their books.
I do.
Yeah.
I do.
Are they bringing in enough revenue to cover the rent?
I don't know.
Because I know we're not the one who contribute the most, obviously.
We're not.
We're not.
We're definitely not.
Yeah.
I wonder what their main source of income is.
Do you know?
Advertising?
Advertising?
Because they have...
They are an ad agency.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, this floor consists of many different companies.
So it's not...
They're not paying all of the area, all of the floor.
We're sharing.
I see.
We're just sharing the office.
I see.
Yeah.
And I think there's like...
If you look at the thing there, I think there's like eight, seven...
Oh.
Companies, you know?
Yeah.
Oh.
I didn't know that.
So I guess it's not like full on.
I see.
Yeah.
I see.
I see.
Yeah.
Good to hear.
Good to hear.
Yeah.
Still, it's pretty expensive, I'm sure.
Yeah.
Do you know how much you pay?
I don't.
I do not know.
I would love to know, though.
Yeah.
Can you search that?
Is it out there?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Oh.
Yeah.
Like, officially, you have to...
You have to...

Hmm.

Not related, but...
Toronomon Hills' residential tower...
Okay.

If you buy it, how much do you think it would be?
Niel DK.
Which floor is it?
I don't know, but the residence is probably...
Oh, I see.
Usually high.
Oh, wow.
Higher than the offices.
I have no idea.
94 square meters.
Okay.
I mean, only the office is higher than the office.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.

You can see balcony chairs.
Yeah, true.
I think those are the resident floors.

1.6 billion.
Really?
That's crazy.
It's crazy.
1.6 billion?
How much is that?
I know, it's crazy.
Wow.
But I think it's...
I don't know, it's worth for them?
I guess it's worth it for them.
Yeah.
I don't know if they even care about the price.
You know, the people who buy 1.6 billion places, right?
Yeah.
They're just...
They just buy it because it's like for the brand and for the status.
虎ノ門ヒルズの価格
Yeah.
Wow.
So residence, you mean the house, right?
It's for one's house?
Yes.
Not like the offices?
Not offices, but yeah, residence.

People buy them, right?
They sell it because people buy them.
Yeah.
Who though?
Maybe...
I...
So I had a friend of mine who was just randomly shopping.
Okay.
Just looking at the Toronto Moon place.
Ran into...
Okay.
A Haiyu-san.
Oh, okay.
One of the top-running Haiyu-san...
Okay.
Of this day.
I'll show you a picture, not for everybody else.
Of course, yeah.
Him.
Oh, okay.
He was at the...
He walked out...
He was walking in a...
Suetto?
Okay.
Coming out of the residence...
Wow.
Door.
Okay.
So I think he's living there.
I see.
But you make that much?
You make this much?
If you're like the top Haiyu in Japan?
Really?
How much do you get paid if you're on like a Getsuku?
I have no idea.
You should get paid.
I have no idea.
You...
Once...
You are the actor of...
Wow.
That was...
What?
Getsuku?
That was not a Getsuku.
You know how much that was?
Yeah.
It was free.
Yeah.
It was...
I got a line from my engekibu who's working on the drama.
I see, I see.
Hey, man.
Yeah.
Do you want to do this?
Like, do you want to try this?
Like, you get to be with this person.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That'll be a great experience.
Yeah.
Sounds really fun.
I was tricked into doing the job without any money.
That's right.
Okay.
So I guess they take everything and then just put him...
Yeah.
Put into him and then...
Yeah, maybe, probably.
Maybe he get...
Yeah, but...
But like...
Really?
Okay.
I have a person that works at the ad agency.
Okay.
That pays to TBS, Fuji and all those...
TV Kyoku, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They get clients.
Ajinomoto.
Those big clients.
Yeah.
And they're...
Yeah.
With the TV spots and...
Right.
And I do hear, it's not...
But it's expensive.
Yeah.
But it's expensive.
Yeah.
Like, one spot is like...
Really do depend on which spot.
But like...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
5 million, 6 million, 7 million per spot.
So like, you have to buy in bulk.
Yeah.
So like, 500 million.
Yeah.
Or something.
Yeah.
And...
But that's just...
That's...
It's the whole project.
Yeah, the whole several blocks of spots.
Yeah.
That's 500 million or something, right?
Right.
And then you have several of those companies.
But you have to share that with all the dramas.
Yeah.
Right?
So ultimately, I don't know how much a drama...
How much budget a drama has, but like...
Is it enough to get you a 1.6 billion mansion?
Really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I have no idea.
Yeah.
But they have like...
Not like, buy the house, but...
Is there like...
Right, it's rentable.

look at the gym. Yeah. And crazy party room that you can... Right. Some place like Bruno
Mars can do a little concert. Did you know Bruno Mars was under a huge debt? Yeah, I'm

hit that he was able to pay back the... I thought he was so stupid. I mean... He posted
it. He posted it, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody, go listen to our song so I can
pay back my debt. Yeah. I was like, was this the guy that I was listening to when I was
a college student? And he was, I thought he was such a huge talent, genius. Idol talent.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was under, what, nanjuu nanoku? Yeah, nanjuu nanoku. What the hell

Looks very gorgeous. Yeah. Guesthouse dining, 41st floor. Okay. Let's look at the gym.
They have a picture of a gym in there? Oh, right here. It's not that big. I would say an average
Anytime Fitness is bigger. Don't you think so? Yeah, yeah. Anytime Fitness has more machines
that we want. And like free space in it. Right, and free space. I'm sure the view is great, but.
In terms of like. Machines. Yeah, can you work on your inner legs with any of these machines? I
don't think so. Yeah. Can I work on my ass in any of these machines? Yeah. And it's like, it's not
big room. It's like. It's packed. Yeah, you have to walk this little space, right? You have one aisle.
You will be like this if you want to pass by. Yeah. Oh, no.
No, just gym is just not worth it. See, they have to put a mirror up in here to make it look like
it's big. Wow. But you have spa too. They have spa. That's great. Well, that's great. But yeah,
that's great. Yes. I would love to have a spa. Like this. What's that? The library. Yeah,

pretty fancy looking pool. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's not free. You have to pay. What?
You have to pay to use the spa when you're already spending hundreds on rent. You fucking serious?
Other than the rent? Yes. Other than the rent. You're already paying for Kyoiki,
but you still have to pay to use the fucking spa. That's ridiculous. No,
wait, the gym is not free. Oh, no. Wait, what? What the fuck are we paying for?
We're not paying for anything because we're not. But what the fuck are those people paying for?
Is that even, is it like legal? I don't know. Maybe all the other ones are free,
but maybe the ones you actually want to use are not free.
But maybe those people don't care. Yeah, they don't. Yeah, they don't. It doesn't even matter
for them probably. True. Yeah. Well, if you, if they, if they paid $160,000,000. Yeah.
Like they don't care about like those like little. Right. Those fees. One time fees. Yeah. Like,
you know, I don't know. Probably. Yeah. $300,000,000 but it's just nothing for them. Wow.
Pretty wild. That's pretty wild. Yeah. A different world. Yeah.
