超リアルトークをお届け！SUPER IMMERSION RADIO 【#50】

Stop. Please. Stop. Don't throw it away.

Shut up. It feels good.

Baking powder, right? Baking powder?

Baking powder. That's it.

Wow, that's it. Hey, maybe I'll just lick it.

Immerse immersion immersion immersion. Immersion. Immersion. Immersion Radio.

This is Toriyama from Japanese Supermarket. This is Miyazaki.

This week ,

we're here because it's Special Week.

We're here. Special Week.

Yes, I'm sure you all don't know, but Special Week is

... yes. We do a radio show with a membership, yeah

. Right, today

is the 50th episode. That's right.

The 50th. Yes. And

every 10 episodes, we're not just a membership show, we're open to the public, uh, we're allowed to do it.

Oh, so this is open to the public. This is open to the public.

Everyone can listen. Everyone can listen.

Wow, is that okay? Yes. So, please, um, don't say anything weird.

Oh, I've never said anything weird. Haven't you?

Yes. Haven't you ever thought of anything like that?

No, I see.

Yes. Well, today is, uh, Special Week, Japanese Super Miracle Ultra Radio

, here we go.

Here we go. Yes.

Well, this is a real conversation at the speed of our real conversations, so I think it's very educational, so

please listen carefully and listen carefully.

Yes. So, well, let's get started.

Let's talk about something that's been a hot topic in Japan recently.

Oh, is it a topic in Japan? Has something happened?

Yes. Something, recently in Japan

, yes. Something like bullying

, yes. Yes. Um, stabbings with knives and stuff

, there's a lot of that kind of news.

Well, yeah, that's true. Someone uploaded a video on social media and it went viral and all sorts of things happened.

I saw it recently. Um, um, the one about bullying, right?

Yes, I saw it.

At school, in Oita Prefecture or somewhere, there was this bullying, yes.

Well, the video of the students punching and kicking,

yeah. Right. Yeah. It

went viral on social media. Amazing. Who do you feel sorry for?

But have you seen the video? I did.

It's awful. They were doing it in the toilet, right?

Toilet? Toilet. Yeah.

Yeah. I guess students are bullying in the toilet now.

It hasn't changed at all. When you put it that way. Right. It hasn't changed at all, but

if I had to say what's changed, it's that the video

goes viral. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. In the old days, there were no videos,

yeah.

There was no social media, so there were no tragedies like there are now.

Right. Well, I shouldn't say it's common, but it does happen quite often.

Yeah. Once a video goes viral like this,

it's all over. It's a sin in life. Yeah. But I wonder why videos like that go viral.

Yeah. I think maybe the person filming it,

yeah. They probably upload it casually, hoping for it to go viral.

Ah. And it went viral

. It caught the attention of the public, and everyone retweeted it. What I thought was, the person who took this video probably

wouldn't post it on social media. What a normal person would think.

Oh, well, if they were normal, they would. But they're not normal. So

, the friend who took it... They sent it

to their other friends, saying, "Isn't this crazy?

Isn't it amazing?"

Yes. And they sent it to their friends, and one of them posted

it on social media. Well, I think that's a possibility, or maybe

he posted it himself. Yes. It's possible that the person who hit him also posted it.

Well, like, "I messed up, huh?" Well, Miyazaki-san is about to have a child, after all.

That's true. There's a chance that he could be bullied.

Yes, there is. There's a possibility that he could bully them.

No, it's true. I don't know which one it is, though.

What do you think? If the child

found out that he was being bullied

... It's the weather.

Oh, you mean Tenkou? By weather, I mean changing schools.

Yeah. They'd transfer schools.

For those kids who were worried.

Yeah. Well, I guess it can't be helped with kids, right? It's just an extension of a fight.

So it's not like it's between parents, right? The conversation is

just punching and such.

Nothing in particular. I mean, it's true that stabbing someone with a knife or

obviously burning their clothes or something like that. Yeah. Yeah yeah yeah.

That would be a bit of a scandal and it would be difficult in many ways, but

punching and such is okay. You can't know how angry you'd be

unless you were in that situation . Yeah. You wouldn't know. Yeah.

I'd probably be super angry. I'd be angry.

And what if the video was already circulating? Oh, if the video was circulating,

I'd be pretty mad. Yeah, yeah. Like,

I'd just blow this guy up a bit.

No, I'd probably just erase him from society. Yeah. That's scary.

Scary, I have a scary partner. Well, you see, violence is no good in this day and age.

It's no good. Yeah. So I think we need to use a shady hand

. Yeah. I want to socially erase them.

But teachers can't do anything now either.

Yeah. Oh, that's true. Yeah.

It seems it's difficult for teachers to take sides too.

Right. I don't know if this is unique to Japan or if it's the same around the world now, but yeah.

Teachers can't hit people anymore. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

In the old days, teachers would say, 'Oops,'

yeah. I got hit. I

got hit a lot too. I got hit a lot too. Yeah. I got hit and kicked a lot.

Yeah. I was called into an empty classroom

and beaten up so badly I guess I did something pretty bad. No,

no, well, well, well, well, well, when you're young, you don't understand things so you do them.

Yeah. Well, yeah. Yeah

. Because you're an idiot. But then they get hit, and they realize, oh, I did something wrong.

And they regret it. Yeah. That's how they grow, yeah.

But the teacher can't do anything about it

, yeah. The students get cocky and do weird, bad things like this.

That's right. Yeah.

Well, it can't be helped, teachers, it's the modern age.

And it's the age of social media now, so they probably don't think about the risk of the video going viral.

They...

I wish teachers would have the courage to hit students. That's

what I want to say to teachers today: If a teacher hits someone, it's all over for me.

It's all over, but the teacher has no choice but to do his own job.

Right. That's about it.

They need to get that worked up, for example

. There's a guy going through a fight right now,

right? Yeah. The teacher says to the bully, "No, I'm okay with quitting school? You can quit, but I'm going to beat you up. I'm

going to beat you up," and then beats him up. Yeah.

There aren't many people who criticize this. There are,

there are. There definitely are. In this day and age, I think there's a lot of refusal.

Well, there is refusal, but I think there's also some minor praise. Ah, well. There will probably be praise, but in this day and age, it's not okay. Absolutely.

That's right. If you lay a hand on someone, it's over, so

if I were a teacher, that's what I would probably do, and then the teacher would end up spreading the word. The teacher who saw this student hit him. Yes. It makes you think, ``Let's attack this person.'' Yeah.

So, it's a terrible world we live in.

That's right. We really are in an age where the internet can kill you, these days.

Oh, I see. I see. Yeah.

More than other people. Yeah. So

yeah. I went to the mall with my kid the other day.

Oh. Did the topic suddenly change? Or not? It hasn't.

Well, it's probably completely unrelated.

I'll just say that, then. Oh, I see. We've changed the topic now. Yeah.

So, I went to the shopping mall with my child.

It was my child's birthday. Oh, isn't that great?

Yeah. Birthday. Happy

birthday. Yeah.

And, when you go with a child, well, she's a girl.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah. It's tough after all. When you go together, you buy

all sorts of things.

Yeah. Children and wives

buy all sorts of things that they don't really understand. Things that men aren't interested in

. They shop for things.

Yeah. Yeah. Clothes. Yeah yeah. That's it. Like a general store

. Right. A general store. Accessories and stationery

, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There are. What do you do at times like that?

Oh, in reality, I sit on that sofa and wait.

Yeah. Ah, I see. I never go inside the store.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I do.

Yeah. I use massage machines.

It's not really massage machines, but there are regular sofas.

There are quite a few. Like in front of that store. Yes. Yeah.

I always sit there. Yeah. Yeah.

And me too. Yeah.

Um, our shopping mall, well, what's it called, I don't know. Hmm.

Well, in the mall, what do you call it. Well,

it's a general store, and they sell all kinds of toys and stuff

. Yeah.

A place where they sell. Yeah.

And the kids there were looking at things like Licca-chan dolls and stuff

, and they were like, 'Wow, aren't they nice?' And I was looking at those toys.

Yeah. So, I

watched the first 23 minutes like this with them. Isn't that short? 23 minutes, anyway. No,

23 minutes? That's a long time. I watched 23 minutes.

It's almost 23 minutes. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, that's tiring.

Yeah. I was tired, so I sat on the sofa, a little further away

. I was bored

, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then, before I knew it, I was watching that sample video of an adult video on my phone. And, what's it called, kids? There's a space where kids can play, right?

Ah, the kids' space. The kids' space.

There were only chairs inside. Places to sit.

Yeah. Oh. So it was full of kids. That's right.

I was in a place full of kids, looking behind and to the side,

thinking how amazing I am to be watching a sample video of an adult adult video in the kids' space, so I was watching it like this,

it's kind of crazy, yeah, the title of that sample video

is, yeah, it's fine, is it okay?

It's fine from a YouTube perspective.

Yes. Yes.

It feels like a 24-hour escape game where your whole body starts moving at high speed. I don't know why, but it caught my eye and I thought

, wow , this looks like a really long video. Yeah. Is it 24

hours long? Apparently the video is 24 hours long.

And then they're sledding at high speed for 24 hours and then they escape.

Yeah. Well, I watched a sample video, but please mute the sound. Of course.

No, of course. If you make any noise while sledding, you'll get arrested. I made sure to mute the sound properly.

Yeah. Yeah.

That's what it is. Maybe it'll be filmed and spread.

That's dangerous. You'll be killed by society. There are people all around, like,

1- or 2-year-old kids playing like this, and then their parents on their day off say

, "What? What are you doing? No, no. It's dangerous if you go over there."

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, well done and cute.

Yeah, a nice guy, with a nice mom

. I was watching a sample video of the full body being sled at high speed.

By the way, how was the lower half of your body? Well, I guess not.

Oh, he didn't respond to that, of course. Yes.

Oh, that's good then. That's where

I said, yeah. If Hanshin

had evolved, that would be a bit of a crime.

That would make people think I was getting excited by the kids around me, and I'd come off as a dangerous old man.

What I'm trying to say is, yeah.

Crime is yeah. One

wrong step and you're out. No, that's it.

Be careful. He's a god. Crime and

crime are right in front of your very eyes.

That's what it is.

You enjoy the thrill of doing something that would be a crime if you took just one more step.

But I'm not committing a crime. Ah,

yeah. I'm just one step away.

That's me. One more step would be a crime.

One more step would be a crime, so I'm not committing a crime. I'm one step away.

Yeah. Why do I want everyone to understand that much?

I get it.

So, yeah,

I've got song requests this week too. Oh, that's good. There have been a lot of requests lately.

Thank you. Thank you for all your requests

. By sending in requests like this, it means we don't have to choose one by one, which makes it easier.

Oh, do you understand what I mean by one by one? Yeah.

Yeah. I mean it's not a hassle.

That's right. Yes. Oh, song request goes to Makihara.

Yeah. I'll never fall in love again.

Oh, it's Macky. Yes. Okay, let's play this.

Thank you.

I was thinking about the evening atmosphere, thinking that I can do nothing without you,

but I don't know where the tea is. See, I made breakfast, too.

But it's not very pretty. If you had made it,

I could have complained to my heart's content.

It feels cramped when we're together, but now that I've finally achieved my freedom, I

feel even lonelier. I don't know how you felt when you said goodbye, but

I'd like it to be longer than usual. I'm a little confused by the left. If I could be strong-willed and say just one thing, I

'd say I don't fall in love again. Absolutely.

Makihara's song is "I'll never fall in love again.

" It's a good song, isn't it? Yeah. The title is "I'll never fall in love again." Yeah.

It's not "what?" Right? So, isn't the grammar tricky? I'll never say I'll never fall in love again, absolutely.

Which song is it? Or, "I'll never say I'll never fall in love again."

Right. This is grammar, don't you think that for a moment?

Yeah. It feels natural, well, this is a super famous song and everyone sings it at karaoke, and

they sing it naturally, but it does seem to be true.

Try saying it for a second. Grammar I'll never fall in love again.

I won't, I'll never fall in love again, that's weird, not that, I'll never say I'll never fall in love again, absolutely.

Oh, that's what I mean, oh, that's what I mean. Yeah, I'm stuck there, you

know? This is difficult. I'll never say I'll never make my voice heard again. Never again.

Yeah. Never again. Yeah. That's why he said he'd never make his voice heard again, in the past.

Yeah. He must have had a painful love in the past.

A painful experience, a painful love. But I guess he probably fell in love.

He did fall in love. So I'm not going to say I'll never fall in love again, that's for sure.

Yeah. It's difficult. I want to fall in love now. Me too. Oh, this is no good. This kind of thing.

This isn't difficult. That's why I recommend this title to people studying grammar.

Yeah. Japanese lyrics,

yeah. I don't think it's possible. Well, I'm sure it's the same with lyrics from overseas songs, but

we studied English. What is this grammar? What is this English grammar?

I think it's the same as when you're like, "What is this grammar? What is this English grammar?"

I don't think you can understand it.

Yeah. Especially Japanese lyrics, they mix in English too.

Yeah. There's some weird neologisms mixed in, too.

Mixed in. Like words that the person made up

. And there's also some omatopeia.

Yeah. I think it's all confusing.

Yeah. Yeah.

So, let's get started now. Let's

get started. The 50th Radio

Okay? Yama Miyazaki

's Immersion Radio.

Hey, Miyazaki-san. Yes.

I was in the bath yesterday,

yes. Yeah. I had some doubts,

doubts.

Questions, yeah.

What were you wondering about? Men and women. Questions between men and women.

You really love that kind of material. No, it's not a joke.

It's a worry for me too. Worries? Well

, not worries, but worries and questions are also dissatisfaction.

Worries, questions and dissatisfaction are quite different. Which one?

Well, look, this is quite serious.

Yeah. A serious international issue.

Is it an international issue? Yeah. You know, there's that mask for women.

A face mask for the face. Yeah. Right. Face packs.

Yeah. Beauty packs, yeah. Yeah.

I have them. Aren't they pointless?

No, I don't know. But, yeah, sure, they do have some meaning?

Does Miyazuki's wife do it every day? Oh, she does it almost every day.

Right. Yeah.

Because it's pointless. Well, it's not pointless, is it?

So, for example. Yeah.

Um, that beauty pack, yeah.

Let's say Miyazaki's wife has been using it for, well, 10 years.

Yeah. Well, I think she's been doing it all this time.

Let's say she's been using it every day for 10 years. Yeah. So,

since 10 years ago, yeah.

Has her skin gotten better? Ah, probably, that, yeah, Miyama's wrong. That

's fine. Can I just argue a bit? No, I don't really like face packs, but, I still have a lot to say.

Hold on a sec. I'm that pack. I'm not an emperor type,

probably. Yeah.

What Miyazaki is trying to say is yeah.

It's not meant to make your skin beautiful.

Yeah. It's not something that keeps your skin from aging.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's something that maintains the status quo. That's what you want to say, isn't it?

I think so. Hmm. Okay

, yeah, yeah. My skin is

yeah. Well, um, I've never used a mask since I was born. Yes.

Yes. I've never used a mask.

Yeah. My wife and I

yeah. I don't think there's much difference.

No, there is. No, is there really that much?

Yes. People who take care of their beauty have beautiful skin.

But you know, you never know the results, right? Because women are creatures that generally have beautiful skin.

And they're creatures that spend a lot of time indoors, so

that's a harsh way to put it. So, of course, men

go out more. Yeah. Well, yeah

, your skin does get a little sunburned. That's true. They say sunburn is bad for your skin.

Sorry, but even if women don't use masks,

yeah. There are plenty of people with beautiful skin.

Oh, that's true for both men and women. Yeah. Yeah .

There are people whose skin is ugly even when they use masks. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.

There are people who look beautiful without using face masks. And there are people who look ugly even if they use face masks.

Yeah. So it's not something that necessarily comes with it.

Ah. So, then, can I dig in a little?

Yeah. I think the reason why those people use face masks is

, yeah. Well, it's because they feel guilty about using face masks. Basically,

yeah. It's so they can answer when people around them ask them what kind of face mask they're using.

Ah. Eh, wait, wait. Well, they're creating a situation where using face masks is the norm.

Hold on a second. Let me confirm one thing. Yes.

My ally. Ah, my ally. My ally. Over there, over there. Um, I'm a Toriyama fan, too.

Honestly , I'm a Toriyama fan too. I don't use face masks.

Yeah. I don't think face masks will make your face beautiful.

Yeah. In fact, I did.

Yeah. About 10 years ago, I used face masks every day, but it didn't make any difference,

it was a hassle, and it cost money, so I stopped.

Yeah. But

, you know, yeah

. Even though he uses those face masks every day,

yeah. Oh, a man does weight training.

Yeah. So he buys dumbbells for weight training.

Yeah. Yeah. He'll say things like, "I bought some more dumbbells for this house." Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. But weight training definitely

yeah . Gets results.

Well, weight training gets results. You get results.

You get results. So, you bought dumbbells already? What,

5,000 yen? That's a bit much. Wow, they're in the way. You're probably going to stop using them anyway.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, even if you buy a bunch of dumbbells,

it's only about 30,000 yen, right? Well, yeah.

Yeah. What about those guys?

They probably spend a lot of money on cosmetics, don't they? Just the face masks are about 100 yen each?

No, probably not, they're cheap on the surface. Oh, well, let's just say 100 yen.

Oh, I don't think it's even 100 yen. Yeah.

About 50 yen. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think it's even 50 yen.

Eh, but they have all these weird masks. Like mud masks,

I think they're like 1000 yen for a pack of 30.

Yeah. So it's not 30 yen or

anything. 30 yen. Well, but, well, it's a tight budget.

So, let's go with 50 yen. That's fine.

If you use 50 yen for a year, that's about 15,000 yen.

Well, that's just under 10,000 or 20,000 yen. Just under 20,000

yen. 200,000 yen for 10 years. Just under 200,000 yen.

I don't know if you can see results from that.

Well, yeah. And their excuse is,

yeah. They're doing it to keep their skin from aging.

Yeah. Plus,

over those 20 years, humans will deteriorate. Right.

So it won't be enough. Just masks. Right. They'll probably eat sweets instead.

That's right. Yeah. If that's the case, I think you should do some strength training and get in shape.

So, what about women who do strength training and use face masks?

They're very conscious. Yeah. Well, I'm not mad at face masks or anything.

Ah. What are you mad at? Oh, it's like your wife, right?

Not yours?

Eh, aren't you mad at your wife

? I won't say it any more strongly than this because it's not a membership.

Right. Your wife might be watching. Yeah.

She can hear. Your wife too. Oh, right. She can hear.

Yeah. She might be listening in secret.

Right. Yeah.

So, well, I don't have a specific thing I want to say, but

can you summarize what you want to say?

Who were you trying to communicate to and what? Well,

in the end, is face masks even worth it

? Yeah. That's my question. You

have a question. First of all , listen

to that question . Yeah.

Who are you dissatisfied with in relation to that question?

All these women.

Did you just say women? I won't.

I wouldn't say that. I have complaints about women.

Yeah. Yeah.

So, I want more. No. I want more. What?

The meaning of the pack. Ah,

I want comments and stuff. Ah, like, packs have this effect.

Yeah. Those are packs, they're just packs that the pack industry makes money from.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, well, yeah.

You know, when you say a face mask, they say it has this effect. Yeah.

Effect. Yeah. Yeah.

Effect doesn't translate to results. Yeah.

Because with weight training, even if you say this exercise will have a great effect on these muscles, weight training definitely has an effect,

yeah. It directly translates to results.

It's a physical issue. Right, right. You could even say this muscle will get bigger. Yeah.

Yeah. But

with face masks, they only say it has an effect, so

they lose in that respect.

Face mask. Yeah.

They lose, and I think you shouldn't compare weight training to face masks.

Hmm. Toriyama-san,

I wish those people who use face masks

wouldn't say anything

about the weight training they're doing.

Yeah. Yeah. Like

, these dumbbells for weight training are in the way.

Oh, it can't be helped if the dumbbells for weight training get in the way. Because they really are in the way.

But those guys are like that too. Yeah.

I got a face mask. I've finished using the face mask. You peel it off, right? Sometimes Peripele leaves it on the table. Huh?

Yeah. Only my wife does that. Yeah. It picks me up and makes a box of it.

Oh, I'm just complaining.

So

you came here to complain, on such a special week

. Right. In fact, I don't think I need lotion or anything like that.

Ah, you know, I'm a bit of a regular lotion fan.

Ah, you know, what do you mean? Ah, the process, yeah. I mean, I accept it, or rather, I use it.

Ah, you use it? Yeah. I use lotion. You put lotion on after you take a bath.

That's common, isn't it? Yeah.

It's common. Well, it's fine in the morning too. Ah, well, women, women are common. Among women. Right. You put it on after you take a bath.

Yeah. Yeah. So, I, I have pretty dry skin.

Yeah. My skin is so dry.

So dry that my skin starts to flake off. It gets so dry.

Yeah. Yeah. Especially after a bath

, if I put on cream to prevent that, my skin doesn't get so dry. So it doesn't bother me. So creams from the hospital won't work?

Oh, but it's a pain to go to the hospital. Yeah.

So I slather on some 500 yen over-the-counter lotion

, yeah. Ha. I sleep refreshed.

I use lotion every day.

This isn't to make my skin beautiful. Yeah. I do it to prevent it from drying out.

Yeah. I, too, have another question about that

. Yeah. You use lotion every day, don't you? Yeah.

If you do that, won't your skin become one that needs to be used on a daily basis?

Ah. I mean, you have to water it.

Right? Yes, you do. Yes, you do.

If you don't, it'll dry out. Right, right, right, right.

It's about strengthening your skin. Oh,

you don't think about training your skin? Oh, no.

I've never worn makeup either. Yeah. That's fine, isn't it?

Yeah. Doesn't it depend on the person? Some people have sensitive skin after all.

Right. Like atopic dermatitis. I just

don't like that. Fight back. What's the thing I hate the most? They use

lotion and masks , and it's like, 'Oh,

that's obvious.'

Ah, the way they give off that vibe. It's the

way they say it, you know? You get it? I get it

, I get it. What, you don't use lotion?

What, I don't.

That's what I think. What's that? Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, from my perspective, it's the same thing, like, 'What, you don't have heavy ramen?' I guess it's the same thing. Is it the same?

Same, same. Oh, right.

Yeah. Ramen is already a regular portion, right? All the guys?

Mine is normal, though. Yeah. Oh, that's surprising. It's because they wear makeup, and oh, they use lotion. She's using lotion, so she gets a regular portion of ramen.

Ah, I see. Yeah.

She's being violated. Ah, so a theory has been born.

People who use lotion don't do it unless they get a large portion of ramen.

Yeah. Aren't most women's dicks probably getting smaller too?

Ah, probably. Yeah.

Oh, it's smaller. Compared to before. That's right. That's the makeup they use. Ah, that's what I mean.

What is it? It's gross. Don't prick your finger.

When you use lotion, your dick gets smaller. Um, stop it. You stop it. Hey,

what if the AI ​​picks it up? Forbidden words.

No. You'll get banned for using NG words. Right

. He didn't say it clearly. Yeah. That's right. I couldn't hear what they were saying. Probably everyone did.

Yeah. I could hear it, but I speak Japanese.

Yes. So

what were they talking about after all? Eh, well, forget about the face mask.

Yeah. Is this okay? Is it okay to do something like this for Special Week?

Yeah. Yesterday, when I was thinking about what to talk about,

yeah. I was thinking about this in the bath.

Ah. Yeah. I wondered why women use face masks. They're definitely beautiful even without them.

Yeah. Yeah. And I've said before that they're definitely beautiful even without them.

Oh, I have. I've said it before, but they were like, no, no, no, no.

And I wonder how they can be so sure.

Ah, especially Toriyama's wife, well,

don't say she's not that kind of person. Hey, hey, Miyazaki, go and see it today too.

Why? Why do you ask your wife if you use face masks?

Hmm. Well, I think you're definitely beautiful even without them.

Ah, that's it. If I say that, they'll definitely say no, no, no.

Yeah. They'll definitely argue. Yeah.

Well, if I don't use face masks, it's like this and that. Yeah. Face masks are strong.

They're into face mask religion, so

they turn them off. That's right. In the pack industry.

Yes. So everyone, please be careful not to spend too much money on packs.

That's the bottom line. Yes.

No, Toriyama-san. Yes.

Work has started. It's started. The New Year.

Yeah. The last radio show

was a Happy New Year show, but a week has passed since then

. Work has started for us too

. Finally. That's

right. We've had more than a week off. It's

probably tough after all.

Working after this long weekend, yeah.

Aren't you tired? I have a cold right now.

You said that earlier, like... Yeah. I think I have a cold.

It just came. I got a LINE message from Toriyama-san. He said maybe I have a cold today, maybe, maybe, but for me, the

thought of maybe having a cold crossed my mind.

Yeah. And when I say crossed my mind, I kind of think maybe it's the wind.

You think it, don't you? Just that, yeah.

I kind of get into that mode.

I get into that mode. Yeah. I know.

More and more and more. Like, Oh, this pain in my shoulder and neck feels like a wind.

Oh, you're being brainwashed by the wind, aren't you? Yeah, that's right. Because I'm mentally weak.

Yeah. And that's how it gets worse, right? That's right. Wind, I

don't have wind. I'm talking fine even now.

You can't talk like this with the wind

. Yeah. Well, I had a wind this morning.

Yeah. I had a cold.

Yes. I'm cured. I took Eve. Eve. Eve is that wind medicine, or rather a painkiller.

Yeah. Painkiller. That's not wind medicine.

Yeah. Just a painkiller. I took the painkiller and ate some food

, and then after about 30 minutes, I thought, Oh, I'm cured.

Yeah. Eve is strong, so I'll listen to anything you say. I'll listen.

That's amazing. Yeah. Yeah.

So, yes. Oh, what is it? Sorry.

Work has started. It's started. It's tough.

So, I was watching a program on TV yesterday, and there were a lot of foreigners on it

. Yes. Like, what's life like in your country?

Oh, what's life like in your country? I mean, what kind of life do you lead? Well,

people from all sorts of countries were on it. Yeah. There was one thing that surprised me a little, I think it

was France? Apparently they don't have New Year's holidays

. Apparently it's only January 1st

. And I was surprised by that. So apparently

the French don't feel that sluggish feeling after a long holiday.

Ah. They do have holidays.

Yeah. That's why they work until the 31st. And

, oh, I see. So it seems like they feel more like it's just one day off rather than the New Year's holidays

. Well, I guess Japanese people put a bit too much emphasis on New Year's.

Yeah. Well, there are some people who work over the New Year holidays.

Yes. But most people, most Japanese people, have a long holiday over the New Year holidays.

They take a week off, I guess. I guess a

week off. Well, people who work at regular companies,

yeah. Us office workers and such, I think they take about a week to ten days

off. They take a week off.

So, well, it's open. So, well, we've taken a survey here.

It's out. Yes. Here's another survey.

The Miyazaki survey is out. Miyazaki survey. Now, I'm going to read the English, so what's it saying? Right,

listen, listen and understand the English.

Right, everyone's listening, so say it a little better. It's good.

How do you spend of the year in your

count? Wait a minute. I get it. I couldn't understand the katakana English at all.

On the other hand, How do you spend? How do

you spend? What's SP again?

Spend means spending. Ah.

Yeah. How do you spend the

end of the year?

Yes. End of the year. Yes.

How did you spend the end of the year? In your country. Ah, in your country, yes yes yes yes, that's right.

I asked how people spent the end of the year in your country, yes yes.

Yes.

There are so many comments, about 3,000 already, it's amazing.

Yes. I'd like to select and read a few excerpts from there.

Yes. So, how did you all spend the New Year holidays? I spent it listening to music with my family. Wow.

That's kind of stylish. Isn't that new?

I don't listen to new music.

That's amazing. Ah, but you know, there's this thing called the Red and White Song Battle that Japanese people do.

Yes, there is. They're divided into the red team, blue team, and white team on TV, yes

. Does that count as listening to music?

I think it does, right? Red and White. Well, at the end of the year in Japan, about half the population,

about half the population, listens to the Red and White Song Battle. Yes.

It's called the Red and White Song Battle, and they listen to artists singing. Well, that feeling, maybe it's similar in that respect.

Yeah. Um, isn't it like that? Yeah.

Yeah. And then, after that, the family eats fondue.

Fondue, um, I wrote it here because it sounds English.

We eat something like fondue. Fondue, there's cheese fondue and stuff.

Wait. What's fondue? Fondue, uh, it doesn't say. It says fondue.

It means to put fondue on something, right? I'm sure. Maybe they

have a lot of dip or something? Aren't they preparing a lot of sauces?

Chocolate, cutlet, strawberry

, ah, I don't know.

In Japan, most people just think of cheese.

Yeah. And chocolate.

I went to Katsuya the other day and yeah. They

had this cheese cutlet fondue. Oh, it looks delicious.

The cheese flows out and you put a lot of cheese on the cutlet and

yeah. It's called.

Wow, that sounds fattening. Yeah.

And we spent the day drinking another glass of champagne and singing songs.

Wow. It feels like the end of the year. Oh, that's nice. We spent the day drinking champagne and singing songs.

Oh, it feels like a scene from a foreign movie.

Yeah. That's nice. Yeah.

Yeah. And this person is Mexican.

Yes. Can I guess Mexico? What do people do in Mexico?

Oh, they spent the day eating Mexican tacos. Not at all.

Um, uh, they eat a lot of food and drink, and then they do fireworks.

Fireworks. They do fireworks.

What's that? Oh, I don't know.

Yeah. These are fireworks.

Ah, fireworks. Fireworks. It says they'll set off fireworks and party until the morning.

Is it a party? Is it a party party?

Probably. Yeah.

Oh, they're pretty active. They're active.

They drink alcohol, eat food, set off fireworks, and drink until the morning.

Kind of like what we call party people in Japan.

Ah, party people are young people who

drink alcohol, yeah. They dance and have fun,

yeah. Young people are called party people, but

party people. Party people, yeah

. Ah, party people.

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Party people. Yeah. Yes. That person is a party person.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And the other person is on Netflix.

Oh. Movies.

He spent his time watching movies. Ah.

I think that's the best way to relax. And it even includes the title of the movie.

Do you know this movie? Ghost of Tsushima.

It's not a game. Oh, a game. Ah, but yeah, it says he played a game. Oh

, there's a game called Ghost of Tsushima?

Yeah. Do you know it?

I played a little bit. It's fun.

It's fun. Is it a game you play at the end of the year?

There aren't any games to play at the end of the year.

Hey, so what about this guy? Apparently he was playing games at the end of the year. And it was a solo game.

Yeah. It was a solo game. Yeah. So that means he was playing games

alone.

Yeah, he watched Netflix, played Ghost Island alone, and probably

masturbated alone before going to sleep. Yeah. Ah, so it's already the end of the year solo.

The end of the year solo. I see. Well,

it ended on a good note, didn't it?

But I'm jealous, you know. Well, yeah.

Yeah. I admire people who spend their time alone.

Improve themselves individually.

Improve yourself individually, too. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, some people say they were also immersed in their work.

Poor guy. Poor guy. Yeah.

What do you think about that? If Toriyama-san

told you there was work over the New Year holidays, would

you go? Work?

Me, yeah.

In the past I would have gone, but work, yeah. Yeah.

Now I try to turn down all work. Why aren't you going to work?

I want a break now. Yeah. I want to rest, I just

want to rest. Yeah.

I want to rest a lot. I want to rest a lot. Yeah.

Yeah. The more you work, the more money you get, right? Yeah

. I'm not in that kind of place anymore.

Not. Not at all. Isn't it the same for Miyazaki-san?

Well, as you get older,

it's like, how much more you can earn by relaxing rather than working.

Ah, that's right. Basically, I want to take it easy.

I want to earn money easily. Ah,

This is number one. Well, that's my goal.

Hmm. But you can't make money easily right now. Right

. There's no such thing as easy money. Yeah. Making

money easily is the best.

That's right. Yeah. So

I want YouTube to grow. I want it to grow.

You know, YouTube really isn't easy either. What are you talking about? All of a sudden.

Well, it's something like this. Also, a lot of people say they spent time with their family or went to a party, so I

guess it's surprisingly similar to Japan. Yeah yeah. But the cultural aspects are a little different, after all. Well, yeah.

But it's more or less the same. Yeah. We all eat sashimi, yeah

. Sushi,

yeah. We probably eat crab

. And we watch movies, yeah

. It's something like that.

Especially TV shows. In Japan, there are a ton of comedy shows

. Yeah. Yeah. There are a ton of them. There are a ton of them, right.

That's right. They're on all the time, especially around the New Year's holidays

. It's annoying. Yeah. They've been doing it all this time. Comedy from morning till night.

I guess it's a comedy culture thing. Yeah. Not especially now.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. Yeah.

Even recently comedians are kind of boring. Boring.

Yeah. There aren't any big names coming out.

Yeah. Yeah .

Well, that's how it is.

Yes. Yes. That's all. Yes. Thank you.

What is the etymology of this word? Roots

9.

Yes, it's Roots 9. That brings back memories. Now, it's begun.

Roots 9. Roots 9 is a quiz about the

etymology of the word.

Everyone, including Miyazaki-san.

Yeah. I'll have to guess the etymology of that

word. Can I ask one question? Yes.

What is etymology? What is origin? Well,

origin, in English, is roots,

roots, yes yes yes. It means

that it originally had this meaning

. Yes. It originally meant that it was used like this in the past.

: Right, right, right. Yes, yes, yes

.

There are a lot of words that we don't know why they're called that way, right? Well, there are.

Let's try to guess the origin of the word.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay

, yes.

First question please.

Let's go. Root 9

: Darashi. I see.

What is the origin of the word darashi?

Ah, I see. First of all, darashi means, yes

. Well, please explain. To explain, it means, like having a messy room,

yes. Like not flushing the toilet after using it,

yes. Like not vacuuming at all.

Like lazing around at home all day even though it's your day off.

That's the image I get. Like when a woman puts on a face mask and then peels it off and leaves it on the table, something like that.

Right. That's

when you say,

"Hey, I'm darashi, huh?" Yes. Is this darashi?

Yes. So, what is the origin of the word darashi?

I just realized as I was saying it that it might come from daradara. Yes.

It's called daradara suru. Well, there's a topic there. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

From this daradara, it becomes daradara straggling. It's a negative form. Darashii. Darashii. Ah, it's difficult though.

Yeah. Daradara shi.

No, but I think it comes from daradara. The word daradararu is a shame.

What, so it has nothing to do with daradara? Daradara has nothing to do with it. Does everyone get it? I guess it's the root of darashii. Give me a hint. The hint

is yoshiya darashi. Darashii. Oh, darashi ga nai

. Yeah. It's darashi ga nai. Well, wait, I don't think you'll get this.

Ah, it's difficult. Yeah. You won't understand if you don't know it. They

don't use the word darashi anymore,

do they? Yeah. They don't use it. So maybe something changed? Something

happened. Some word changed to darashi.

Right. Ah.

Well, this originally came from "shi." Shida changed to "darashi."

Right. Like calling Ginza "za Gin."

Right, right, right. So the word "shidara" has a little meaning, yeah

. It's not "shidara."

But what is "shida"?

Shida. Yeah.

Eh, I don't know. Not at all. Ah, I'll tell you then.

Yes. So, shida is

the yeah of this thing. Well, logic, well, it's a difficult word

, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, um,

it means order or, well, straight. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Shidara, well, straight meaning.

Hmm. That's difficult. Yeah. Da, chanma, uh, to put it more simply, I guess it means something like being neat.

The word "shidara" means being neat. Right. This, yeah, is a very old, old word,

yeah.だわ。 English: So, that was in the Edo period, this ancient time, and

apparently it was popular to switch the order of these words

during the Edo period. Yeah. Ah, so that's why we say Ginza as I mentioned earlier as Za Gin.

Right, right, right, right. And this

becomes Shida Darashi, yeah. Hmm. Sloppy

. So it's not done properly.

Not done properly. Ah, I see

, that's what it means. Wow, I learned something from this. I

learned a lot.

It didn't really click for me. Ah, I see.

Yeah. Okay, let's move on to the next question. Okay,

ah, let's get started. Yes. Yes.

Let's keep going. Yes.

Roots 9: Saboru.

Yes. Yes. I've even shown this word in a short video about this town where people are saboru.

Oh, I see. Yeah.

Saboru means not working even though you're at work,

yeah. Hmm. It means not doing what you have to do,

like playing games instead of studying when it's time to study . That's right.

There's also Tama who skips this

. Oh, if you write it like that, it's called Taman.

Yeah. This is difficult.

This is difficult. And, you know, skipping. Yeah.

It's the same word. Yeah. That's right.

It's written in katakana for "throw."

Yes, it's in katakana here. Servo is in katakana.

I'll give you a hint right away. Ah, hmm, something like that.

Well, isn't this really "sabo"? Yeah.

First of all, this isn't of Japanese origin. It's not Japanese. What language is it

? French. Wow, it's difficult.

I don't know a word of French. Didn't I do something about that? Spanish.

I was Spanish. I tried, but I stopped

. I stopped. I used to study Spanish at Deolingo, but it got so

difficult that I seriously didn't understand anything.

Ah, I gave up.

It's French. French French that starts with "sabo."

Yeah. Oh, like "sabon."

Ah, that's a pity. Like Savonne.

Ah, sa, sabot, savoiver.

Ah, well, you make a good point. Yeah.

Survivor. Not survival. This is sabotage.

Ah, I feel like I've heard of sabotage before. It was originally a French word for worker, or craftsman

. Um, wooden shoes, they call wooden shoes sabot.

Oh, I see. Yeah. Apparently that's what they say.

I don't know though. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. With sabotage,

um, you smash the machines.

He interfered with work. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yeah. I think that's where it got to be, from sabotage.

Has it been around for a long time?

Yes. Isn't it strange that Japan has a cognate word of French origin?

Yes. That's true. I wonder when it started. A long time ago, famous French people would come to Japan to visit

. Is there any explanation for the origins

of this word, like they started using it

? Ah. A linguistic explanation. Sorry.

Sorry. There isn't.

But even this...

Older people use it too. It's a word that everyone knows.

It's not a recent word. That's right. It's not a youth slang word.

Someone from France could please explain.

Yes. I'd like to know the feel of sapotage. Yes

. Now, the third question.

Yes. Please. Um, 'tageru'.

Wow, that's difficult. Something that is extremely surprising.

We say 'otta' or 'ottageru'. Wow.

That's what we call 'tageru'. Yes.

What does this ball mean?

And it's another cognate. That's right.

Tamagelu. And Tamagelu. The "ge" in "gelu" is strange.

You get "tamage" when you're surprised. What's the difference?

When you're surprised, your heart skips a beat.

Yes. Your heart rate goes up

. Yes. And "ottagage" is when you see something amazing

. For example, if Toriyama-san

wins 10 million yen in the lottery and brings the cash.

When you see his energy, you say "Wow, ottagage."

That's better than "surprise."

Higher, I guess. That's right. Maybe it's high.

Surprise. Yes. Yes.

Oh, is that a hint? But I might get it right.

There's a word that

sounds like Dan-chan and two sticks

. I see. Well, it's probably a ball. Oh, no.

You know, a shoe ball, you know, when you pop it open, it goes "ottagage." Is that a ball?

Yes. So the ball broke.

Yes. Time. Yes. Tage

. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.

Oh

. Got it.

Yes. Fireworks.

Hmm? Fireworks have the balls that are launched into the air.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then those balls are launched into the air, creating those huge flames.

Yeah. They pop. Does this come from the ball? To pop.

Ah, maybe fireworks makers used it.

That's right, that's right. Yeah.

They say it can pop now. Ah, I'll give you the bullet, so if you shorten it, it will pop.

Oh. Oh,

let's go with this. Shall

we go with that? Final answer.

Duduguduguduboo. That's right.

You 've been building it up for quite a while . I wonder. Answer.

Hint. Hint.

What kind of balls are you talking about?

Hmm. Well, a picture of a body,

ah, that one. Testicles. Not testicles.

Only testicles come out. Ah, I get it.

Yes. They're eyes. Ah, not that. When a face ball pops out, it's like a ball pops out, but it's not physical.

It's not physical. It's a psychological ball that comes out. That's right.

There are no balls in the heart.

You know, you used to call the heart a ball, right? Eh, balls?

Not the head.

Eh, nipples, then you have them. In the body.

Balls in the body. Yeah.

No. They say something falls out.

The soul. A soul-

soul ball, huh? A soul ball.

The ball comes out of the soul.

The soul disappears, but well,

it's more like the soul shrinks a little. The soul disappears. The soul disappears. Lift. Lift

. I-I'm so surprised that my soul leaves my body.

Ah, I see. So it's an extremely strong shock.

I see. Yeah.

Ah, that's educational. Yeah. It's Louis.

That's right. I was so surprised that my soul left my body. Yes. Yeah. Oh, I was imagining a ball on my body the whole time, so

my soul didn't come out. If I won 100 million yen in the lottery,

yeah. It's like you're just blank for a second before the noodle balls pop out.

Like your soul has left your body. And.

Yeah. That's what it means to lift it. It's lifting.

This is. Wow. I see.

So I learned something. That was roots level. How many questions did you all ask? Well, the time is nearing the end.

Oh, it's already been an hour? Thank you again this week. Everyone,

everyone, are you all listening? That's all. But somehow we've made it to 50.

Yeah. 50 times.

We've made it to 50. Amazing. 100

times. One more 50 and it'll be 100. We're

at the halfway point. That's right. Maybe we should do something for the 100th time. Maybe we should do

something for the 100th time. We always do something, but something even more special.

Yeah. I'd like to give a present or something. I read the guest. Guest.

Guest. Yeah. I wonder

who's coming? Ken-san. Ken-san. Ken-san. Yeah.

He said it was the 100th

anniversary, so please come. Right. I saw Ken's video yesterday by myself

. Lie.

Yeah. I was wondering if Ken had uploaded any videos recently

, yeah. And when I looked,

yeah. He uploaded a video of him on a picnic, and

it got 10,000 views in just one day. Amazing.

You really have to go out and picnic like that. Yeah. Yeah.

And it was a picnic with his wife and kid, the three of them.

We're on the radio constantly complaining about our wives,

and we really do complain a lot, but

yeah. He forgot something important. He forgot how to get into the groove.

He was having a kind conversation about how it's okay if his wife doesn't get on board.

He's making fun of him. He's not making fun of him at all.

I already respect him. Ken's amazing. Seriously amazing.

Yeah. Seriously amazing. Because our channel subscriber numbers aren't that different .

Yeah. There's only a difference of about 40,000 or 50,000

, but the difference in views is huge. So, well, let's keep inviting Ken to collaborations and keep working hard. Yeah.

That Japanese, on Japanese YouTube,

yeah . I think I'm probably number one.

Yeah, but I'm sure there are others higher, right?

Some have a lot of subscribers. There are, but

in terms of views, that's pretty high.

Right. Um, those who consistently put out videos and get views,

yeah. I don't think they're anywhere near as high as Moshi-Kesa.

I'd like them to be in the top 10 or so.

Is they in? I'll do a detailed search next time and find out.

Yeah. So, are they putting out that many videos? Isn't that a lot? Like us. We have a lot of videos, you know.

Yeah. Too many is a problem.

Yeah. Right. So, since it's a special week, did you all enjoy it?

Yes. So, if you're listening, Ken-san, please leave a comment.

Ken-san, Ken-san is listening. But that's fine. Right.

Yeah. I think a lot of people listen to Ken-san.

Oh, I think there are a lot. Our listeners.

Right. All of our listeners listen to Ken-san. Yeah.

That's right. From K-san. From Kensa.

Yeah. Well, but, you know,

there are people who say that our channel is number one, so let's take that as encouragement and do our best.

That's right. Yeah. Why are you all so concerned about this,

eh, with this membership every week, it

's usually 30 minutes, but we do a 30-minute radio show every week,

Yes. Yes. Can I listen for 90 yen?

90 yen a month. 90 yen a month

plus another radio station, yes.

We've recently started something called Man-Polishing Radio, yes.

We air it irregularly.

Yes. Well, this is a bit, you know, minors and, er, women

, yeah, can't listen to it, but

listen, don't listen. Yes.

Adult talk, well, you know, it's a bit popular recently.

Those might be more popular.

Yes. Is that all? Yes, it's all.

Yes. So, is there anything else I want to say?

Yes, nothing. Okay. So, next time will

be the 51st episode. Everyone, let

's pay 90 yen and see each other. We'll be waiting for you.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
