Show Notes Transcript Chapter Markers

Have you ever wondered what it's like to navigate the eccentricities of New York City, from quirky baristas to disappointing cheese bread, or get lost in the neon-lit hustle of Las Vegas? We've got you covered. This episode is a wild ride through our weekend escapades, where we let you in on the nitty-gritty of our travels, from Panic's Greyhound bus adventure and hilarious encounter at the Port Authority to Sarah's tales of exploring Vegas's unique facets such as the Mob Museum and the Neon Boneyard.

Strap in as we shift gears to discuss some fascinating music releases, fashion trends, and a touch of pop culture. Travis Japan is coming to SoCal for a festival, BE:FIRST in the running for MTV Europe VMA's, Jungkook's much-anticipated solo album 'GOLDEN", and Snow Man's RAUL modeling finesse! Plus how did David Lynch and "Twin Peaks" work into the discussion?!

Finally, we tackle the complex topic of name changes amidst scandal in the music industry, focusing on the potential name changes for Sexy Zone, Johnny's WEST, and Jyanino Channel. We talk about Fuma's opinion of the 'Sexy Zone' name, and what it might mean if the fans get to help reinvent the group's identity. We didn't shy away from tough conversations about the need to pivot artists in a new direction, rather than penalizing them for matters out of their control. Join us on this journey full of personal stories and industry insights as we uncover the challenges and opportunities in the music industry.

Hello, this is Tannick and this is Sarah and you are listening to Music Elixir a podcast between two friends discussing their favorite Asian artists in music. Hello everybody, welcome to Music Elixir. I'm Sarah, and with me is Da na na na na na.

Speaker 1:

Did you panic yeah?

Speaker 2:

and we're going to be doing a Ranson Ramblin's because we love that. You know, we love to talk.

Speaker 1:

Yes, we do. We are actually leaving our major talks for Ranson Rambling because we don't want to talk. We just did an awesome episode on a very awesome group.

Speaker 2:

Yes, we did.

Speaker 1:

Thanks to a very awesome fandom who made their request to talk about their boys again. So choose, check that episode. So, we're leaving these for here and you guys can laugh and, you know, leave it in the background, thinking that you have some besties there hanging out with you. Which, by the way, on X Twitter, I put up a question on OK Asia's X Twitter asking what kind of activities you like to do on the weekends. I want to ask you so what kind of activities you like to do on the weekends?

Speaker 2:

Well, this Recording the podcast, that's always fun Actually I really because work is just so crap all week A lot of times. I like to just sort of relax and hang out, like chill and do my own thing at home. But I do also like getting together with our girls and we haven't done that in a while. We got to plan our little group gathering yes.

Speaker 2:

But it depends on the season. Like summer, it's usually too hot. I don't even want to go out. I'm like forget it, ac, keep me indoors. But for the fall, walking around checking out foliage, going to like the apple picking farms and stuff, things like that. So that's what my weekends are.

Speaker 1:

So yes, kind of similar to mine. They're living in New England. Well, like I like to do is just binge watch, you know, like if there's any hot new anime out there, I'll be doing that. Or movies, or rewatch, any like definitely anything with comedy. Nothing that, will, you know, depress me or stress me because is during the week is now stressful.

Speaker 1:

You know, and you know why. We need something to destress and have some fun. So that's what my weekend is about. But Sarah and I, we took some time off. Yes, we did so. I went to New York City, you went to Las.

Speaker 2:

Vegas yes.

Speaker 1:

And yeah, I think I needed another time off from NYC because this I will never do this again. We usually do the weekend where we just stay.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we go down like overnight, right? So yeah, you've got two days to this time family.

Speaker 1:

They just wanted to do one day. Omg, no, we left Northampton at 7 am to go down to Connecticut, hartford, catch the bus with you. Lose a train this time. Oh, really, yeah, we did the bus because it was cheaper. Yeah, we were in a budget. We're like in a really yeah, yeah. Anyways, it was my first time doing the bus. Like I said, budget is cheaper to take the bus See my mama time but it will leave us a port authority. Oh, yeah, I know, girl, I know. Oh, my god.

Speaker 2:

I know Another reason not to take the bus.

Speaker 1:

Girl, I know, I know very well. So I was just like you know what New Adventure? Maybe, maybe I'll like it, maybe it's not like that anymore. You know it's. You know pandemic had happened and a lot of things had changed. So I'm like, well, you know, let's try it out. We took the Greyhound, not the Peter Pan. Okay, so I don't know how the Peter Pan buses are, but this Greyhound was not really. I mean, I was hurting when I came out of that bus. No, buses are terrible. I was crunched in. We were all divided, but we were not divided. That was with one half of the family and the other family set by themselves. But no, it's still not. I was wearing my mask all the time.

Speaker 1:

Special in a bus because we were really like on top of each other. You know really some ventilation, at least at the train. You know the um. I forgot the name of the train, nor is the metro.

Speaker 2:

The metro.

Speaker 1:

It's. You know it's more spacious and you get more of a space. You know better circulation.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, well, it's more open in general. So, yeah, this bus and there's multiple bathrooms as opposed to the one that did, or actually did the bus even have a bathroom on it?

Speaker 1:

I have no idea, but we could select a seating, oh, really. So we select a seating. So you know it really, yeah, like an airplane, oh that's crazy.

Speaker 2:

It was like an airplane.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I didn't know that, so it was good. You know, we selected our seats, you know, in a row, even though the family had right next door. So it was like you know, whatever. Anyways, already you know we were all scrunched in there. We're not a tiny family, we're all tall, you know it. Even the runt of the family is 5'7", 5'6", 5'7" Still tall, yeah definitely 5.

Speaker 1:

So you know our knees were touching to. You know it was uncomfortable period. Alright. So, that being said, we got out of the bus. We go to the bathroom. I waited for another part of the family went to another bathroom. Yeah, there's something about us that we attract like very smelly people to talk to us and I'm like meaning this is poor authority. There's a bunch of people around. Oh yeah, there's just one individual. He just passes this group of people, all the little people, not even big group of people, just little ones, just me and my family and come straight to us. Hi, can you spare her? Like, oh my god, let's go. Oh, my gee, the wreak. You know this is, I know this is a homeless person, this is somebody who needs help. Oh, the smell already and I'm like hello, new York City, the smell already. Just one person alone. There's not even the streets. Anyways, we leave, we run out of poor authority.

Speaker 2:

Well, you should run out of there anyways.

Speaker 1:

We run out at least. Actually, the bathrooms were nice, they were maintained. Oh yeah, I'm very happy about that. You know, not like Grand Central gets so packed that it's just. Yeah, you don't even know exactly so I was. I was like, well, I like this, this is a good thing. The bathrooms are clean, nice, number one okay, we ran out of the board authority and we hit our first store, woodie, yeah, but she was like right, actually right outside of authority. It's a tiny one, not?

Speaker 2:

a big one, okay, okay.

Speaker 1:

But it was enough for the things that we were looking for. So I got myself a new umbrella, but it's a little tight on opening and closing, so I think it's because it's new, but it's so lightweight Love.

Speaker 2:

Love, love, love. Does it like fold up to you know pocket book size or?

Speaker 1:

something. Yeah, oh, cool, it's really awesome. But it's just, I guess, because it's new, the opening and closing is kind of tight and the family was like you're not going to like that umbrella. I can see that You're very particular and I'm like, listen, it's because it's new. All right, I'll figure it out. I'll break it in, I'll figure it out. You know I pay good money for it. It's Muji, we love Muji. You know we love that brand. Yeah, muji, we love that brand. Hello, sponsorship, come on, what was that?

Speaker 2:

I know I get my updates from them New sale. I'm always like, oh my God.

Speaker 1:

Girl, I know, me too. I love their towels. Remember when we bought the towels they had that sale.

Speaker 2:

Oh so.

Speaker 1:

I went over to check out their towels no sale yet but oh, I saw an eye on this set that I'm like. I want a new pair. I mean a new set. So I'm looking at it. I love their slippers too.

Speaker 2:

They were having a sale one time on the exact style I like, because they don't always have the ones I like in stock, so they had a sale. I bought four pairs, so I've got got them sitting in the closet. So when one pair wears out, gets you know, yeah girl, messed up out, they go. And I have I'm going to do that Backups.

Speaker 1:

Backups. I'm going to do that too. When they have their sale on slippers, they have these like booty slippers which I still have. There's somewhere over there which. I only use during the winter time. Oh my God, my feet are like in a cozy cloud and it's amazing. Love it, love it, love it, love it. So, anyways, but this one was a small one, so it had the style you like. Only on that in that store, okay.

Speaker 2:

So I was like oh look, I'm like Sarah slippers.

Speaker 1:

So family were like they're kind of simple and I'm like it's just all you need you know?

Speaker 2:

yeah, it's just to keep your feet protected while you're wandering around.

Speaker 1:

Well, this is what Sarah likes Doesn't mean, you guys should get some you know they're super comfortable.

Speaker 2:

They're warm in winter even though they're open back, yeah, Even though they're the little slides.

Speaker 1:

They're particular, they want a more close slipper, whatever.

Speaker 2:

All right, yeah, they're like the ones I have to each their own, exactly so that's what I said.

Speaker 1:

This is Sarah slippers. You don't even have to go away, but we got some few things there and of course, their stationery is so cool. Mm, hmm, Love, love, love their stationery section and their you know compartments and what not. So, yeah, I'm like I'm not here for big things because I brought I brought a foldable pack pack because I knew I was going to do some shopping. Of course, when I brought out my foldable backpack, I pulled it, pulled it out, Family goes, oh, can I put this in your bag? And I'm like, no, yeah, no, you should have thought ahead Exactly. And I'm like you know it's, this is the Mm. So I was like I'm gonna buy, but this is just a pack of the cotton ball, the cotton, you know the square cotton.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

I'm like it doesn't wait and I'm like, no, but it's gonna make bulk on my backpack. You knew very well, but we're coming shopping. Where is your backpack? You should have brought a backpack. Why you didn't bring a backpack? No, you just wanted to wear this little purse that is not gonna put in, carry anything but your phone and your money. Okay, no, you are responsible for your own purchase.

Speaker 2:

You put your foot down. No, I, no, I yeah, I lay down the law.

Speaker 1:

Excuse me Exactly. You know you don't do that when you go with your friends. I'm sure, yeah, exactly, no, no. Even the other family was like yeah, I brought my backpack. I'm like, see, because you said Exactly, because we're even. It was like, no, you're putting nothing in mine. I got things to put in here, of course, but you know what?

Speaker 2:

Lesson learned Well, you know what. It's so funny, though, because when there was a time where family part of your family came with my family down for a trip, they were prepared with us, see no, I'm not gonna be nobody's mule in my family.

Speaker 1:

No, you're responsible for your own stuff. See, I know, I know how this person works, so that's why I put my foot down under like, and they just I'm like no. And then the other I know family, so family. Family one was like like what's going on, Because they see family too, Like, like, already, like, why you know, like already, like sauce, like, and I'm like well, this is the situation. Family one was like uh, yeah, no, yeah, my space is also taken.

Speaker 1:

Meanwhile, we haven't done any shopping yet but we're putting the kibosh on that. Here we go. My word, no, come on. You know we're all making the same walk. We all carry our own things. That's just to remind you. You need to have being a budget. You know, let me buy no, because then they're like, oh, I would like to buy this. You know the boxes that they have. They're big ish. You know how are you going to be walking around New York City with these storage pieces, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

I'm like you want me to. I'm like, first of all, don't be thinking about that and buying it here now. Nobody's you're going to be carrying that all the time. We got me taking care of that. That put a stop on that. Well, my thing, small, that's what I said. Think small.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, if you're going to do the big shopping, like that's for when you're down there for the weekend and you have a place to go and Exactly so, or? It's the last stop you make before you head home, right, so you're not lugging it around, exactly.

Speaker 1:

So, anyways, we go to this coffee shop called grumpy's. I we've been there. I will lie to tell you. Buddy, please go to grumpy's cafe. It's so good, coffee is amazing. They have few places around. There's one in Grand Central, the one that we went to, which it was the first time we went. We tried this cafe was by the fashion district. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, oh, my God, that place is so nice and it's still the same and it's so nice. It was quiet, which is amazing. It was quiet. I think that, yeah, it was quiet. We got our coffees and whatever. The barista a bass player.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, you got to chatting with them.

Speaker 1:

So of course, family number one is a bass player. So he well, the guy the barista had the bass in the back, you know, open you know, like Conversation piece, he was cute, oh really.

Speaker 1:

He was like six, two long hair, but he looked Asian. He was like Asian, plus something else. You know, yeah, he had a bender bass Nice, really nice, I'm like. And then I'm looking at family too, like not paying attention. I'm like, all right, family one was just all about the bass because of being a bass player, anyways. So family doesn't even interact with this gentleman.

Speaker 1:

This is this guy, and I'm like, I'm like, why are you talking about? And so I started the conversation oh, is that your base? It's like, yeah, it's like you're. Oh, it's like, yeah, I'll, I'll, I'll. After work, I'm going to go no band practice. And I'm like, oh, which band? So, right away.

Speaker 1:

So that conversation. I'm following them on Instagram. I should have brought up the name. And I'm like so what, what kind of music, what kind of genre is like? Oh, and it's like every, I know this like facial expression when people who are musicians don't know how to describe what kind of music. So they just start getting a little uncomfortable trying to describe the type of music and I'm like, oh, I see a boo, that means that your, your, your group is good, the band is good. So it's like it's kind of jazzy and, you know, kind of pro-pro, pro-pro, kind of pro-pro, and I'm like, oh my God, we love that, this is the thing.

Speaker 1:

And then we just went off and then family one was like really, and then started chatting away and I'm like, you know, they're a bass player too. Oh my God, we were. I just like I sat there and drank my coffee while they interacted and I'm like, good, this is what I wanted. You know, this is part of the experience. Why do I always got to initiate everything? Of course, of course. Anyway, well, that was amazing. But besides, I don't want to take this to be only in New York City because, yes, there was so much going on. We went to an Brazilian restaurant. I'm not saying the name, what A Brazilian we went to. Yeah, okay, family one wanted to go to a Brazilian restaurant and I'm like, cool, they had that, that, that cheesy bread, remember, where a coworker used to make for the potlucks. I couldn't eat it.

Speaker 2:

So, no, this is before you knew about that. Oh, before that. Hmm, I guess you never tried it. I may not have, I might have missed it too. Well, I wasn't always there.

Speaker 1:

I was very excited to try their cheesy bread because you know Brazilians make this like pound the casio, which is cheesy bread. Our co-worker makes it better. This was a little bit dry. Okay, I'm a flavorless even the meal.

Speaker 2:

That's too bad, because you would think the cheese I mean cheese has a flavor and it can be, I guess, depending on the kind of cheese you use.

Speaker 1:

But it Didn't, it didn't give me no, I was just like.

Speaker 2:

Land, that was too bad.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it was like no flavor. And then it was Right, some beans, and I'm like, yeah, it was lack flavor. I'm like why can't?

Speaker 2:

Brazilian's lack flavor. I was just gonna say how is that possible?

Speaker 1:

I'm like what I'm like. We come here because of that. You know, yeah, portuguese food, you know well not put cheese like Europe. You know the European, but still it has no flavor. Well, it is similar fluffy rice. I love that no flavor Dang. I was just like is it because I'm so tired? Because this was dinner, this was.

Speaker 2:

That's what you know. I'm wondering if it's just cuz like in the city. They want to appeal to as many people as possible, so they don't do it because we have. Where I grew up, we had a Brazilian restaurant and oh my god, oh my god, it was like the best food it was so good see, like bursting everything, everything, everything. Just flavor filled your mouth so I can't imagine going to.

Speaker 1:

Being to all the Brazilian restaurants like, especially Miami like area. Well, there's one here in Noho, there's really good. Oh no, though. Oh my god. Yeah, I don't know, it's what the one underneath?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that one. Have you ever been there?

Speaker 1:

It's good.

Speaker 2:

Yes, it's good.

Speaker 1:

They're Argentinian. Oh are they?

Speaker 2:

Yes, Damn, but anyways but still well, region, they're American. Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1:

Exactly yeah, so I don't know well, family one asked for steak, which you know they're well known for beef. Mm-hmm, yeah, I was like it's alright, it was well cooked. There's hot, everything was well cooked. No seasoning how can you have no?

Speaker 2:

seasoning. Well, like I said, maybe because they're trying to, some people can't handle that, so they're not willing to try if it's too, too expensive ethnic, I don't know, and, of course, because it was a friend, I'm like too expensive.

Speaker 1:

No, I'm like too expensive it yeah, no, anyways.

Speaker 2:

Sorry, it was disappointing.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we were so excited for that restaurant and I'm like yeah, I'll give you a 20 half. We all gave it a 20 half.

Speaker 2:

Oh dang.

Speaker 1:

I don't even want to say the name.

Speaker 2:

You don't have to okay.

Speaker 1:

Anyways, it's by noise in the house kitchen. That's all I have to say now. Well, how?

Speaker 2:

about Vegas. Oh, vegas was awesome. I mean, I've been there before, so it's not, it wasn't new. But we did, instead of the usual like Going up and down the strip and checking out all the hotels, because I've done it and you know they're nice, but Vegas is under construction, so it is hell to get around, that's crazy because I was driving.

Speaker 2:

That was that was my job, was to be the driver and and it was like worse than Boston. I scared because we were driving. It wasn't just my family that I was driving, I was driving other people, because we were out there for my dad's Yokohama High class reunion Well, not class, it's, they do sort of a whole big reunion. For anyone over the years who's gone to school in Japan, mm-hmm, these are like Navy and Army Brats who family was stationed there, so they, you know, had to go to school there, right? So this is a big event with my dad and all these people that he knows from school. So I was driving. Were you driving a minivan? Well, I was driving like a big Jeep and I hate Jeeps because they're top heavy.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they're all squarish.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was. But so I, oh my god, there were people from, like you know, rural Texas and people from, you know, rural Everywhere around the country who are not used to City drivers and city driving. Really, they were scared, they were like. They were like, oh my god, that car so close, I could touch it.

Speaker 2:

I was like, don't worry, this is because you know, you're on a highway right, and they've got lots of like lane shifts, so the, the road just slightly curves and you have to sort of drift back and forth. Right, we're used to this because in Boston that like the entire city is a lane shift, uh-huh. But they were freaking out because they thought, like that I was good, that I was gonna side swipe or someone was gonna side swipe us. I was like, no, honest, we're all just drifting along with the, the movement of the road. Right, it's okay, it's all good. And then, of course, you know, when I'm like, oh, I got to be over to this lane and I just put on the blinker and move, they were like I'm like don't, I looked, I saw there was nobody there, but you've got to make your move.

Speaker 2:

Oh, yeah, because there's so many people on the road like you have to take your opportunity Telling my dad, your daughter and my father. But thank God, yeah, my dad actually was saying to everybody my daughter is like the best driver in the family. So then people are like what do you want If that's the best driving? But he's like, no, seriously, like my daughter is an amazing driver, she can handle anything right. So I was like yeah, I was like you can't, you can't be meek. No, in this type of traffic, not in the city. No, no, you, you can't be. Oh, please, let me know you. You need to just put on that blinker, let the person back there. No, you're moving, yeah.

Speaker 2:

So, yeah, so we were. We were driving around Downtown, you know, we were at the far end of the strip and we checked out the mob museum. So cool, like my family was all like what do you mean? You want to go to the mob museum? I was like, come on, it's Vegas. Yeah. Vegas is no Hello mob connections mob connection, that's what brought up Vegas this were mob.

Speaker 1:

It's, this is a mob town. It started as a mob town, exactly.

Speaker 2:

She so. So that was. It was really cool Because it wasn't just about what was going on in Vegas and how that got built. They talked about our guy Whitey bulger. Oh yeah, you know everywhere so oh yeah, but that was cool and we went to our guy.

Speaker 1:

Well, he's from. Well, yeah.

Speaker 2:

I didn't mean like well-known mob in Massachusetts. He's the, yeah, pretty much the most known mob member Mm-hmm in Massachusetts. Mm-hmm, I mean, they even made a movie about him for.

Speaker 1:

Christ's sake.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so. So that was cool. But we went to the neon Boneyard at night, oh, so that you could see their refurb. Like not refurbishing some of it.

Speaker 2:

Restoration yeah, that's it, okay, that's the word restoration of a lot of the old neon signs from just hotels that have been closed down or Needed to revamp their signs or whatever cool. So it was awesome. You, you got to sort of see the whole history of neon in Las Vegas, which was so cool. And there's they have this awesome playlist they created because at the end you go to like the for real graveyard of signs, like they just couldn't be fixed, but what one guy did was digitally restored them by frame by frame, adding color and life and Entity to these dead things that they project nice onto them. So there's this whole playlist and it's synchronized music and light show. It is the coolest thing.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's cool, it was awesome.

Speaker 2:

But then we also. We drove out to fire Valley on like the hottest freaking day it was already 97 degrees in Vegas, Ew. And then we go out to fire Valley, which is just open rock Climbing hiking oh my god.

Speaker 1:

If anything with fire in the summer, please you'll be melting.

Speaker 2:

It was beautiful. And then we also checked out, right so, valley of Fire and Red Rock Canyon a different day, but we did that too. So we were, we were sort of more out there to check out, you know, nature and the sort of odd things you don't necessarily think of. We were so bummed out. There's a burlesque museum, ooh, with all the like to see that, yeah, it's only open one day a week.

Speaker 2:

Why, I have no idea. So we missed it because we we landed on Thursday. We had plans for Friday Friday's, the only day they're open, what yeah, and then we left the following Thursday, so we missed it. But so it's a reason to go back, though, check it out. And they've got punk rock museum is out there. Yeah, I mean, there's so many cool things. And I did. I did gamble, because, after all, it was Vegas. Of course, I broke even. Okay, I put in my money, I was losing, I was losing, I was losing. Finally, I hit a good one. I won back my money. I was like, you know, I'm good quick.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, one into the other, okay but, it's cool. Well, if I was there, I would have done it with you. Well, thank you. Yeah, we'll have to go. Well, the girls keep talking about we should go to Vegas for a weekend. I know we should, well, we should, and then we can do that, yeah, but, um, we should. And then another thing was there's a this place called pizza rock, and they have got the best pizza that I can actually eat really mm-hmm nice, it was so good.

Speaker 1:

That you were like.

Speaker 2:

We were wandering around gluten-free pizza.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they just asked them it's. Are you sure this is gluten-free? Mm-hmm, how was the though?

Speaker 2:

They had an actual like section of their menu that is gluten-free and they're like and we can do Within reason, we can do any of the other pizzas because they do a lot of specialty ones. Yeah and they're like we can do those just depending on the ingredients, because it may or may not be something you know, like a lot of mm-hmm spiced up chickens or you know right Whatever's have a sauce that has gluten in it, yeah.

Speaker 2:

So I was like, well, could you do this one gluten-free? A lot of gluten-free? Pizza crusts are either crumbly, yeah they're really thin or they're real flat. Yeah, thin cardboard. Yeah, no, this was. It was sort of in between, okay wasn't a nice puffy Greek one right. I missed so much. You know, with little air bubbles, right, it wasn't totally flat Whoo and it didn't like harden as it cooled off.

Speaker 1:

Okay, okay, that was another thing. Yeah, and you're like what the hell?

Speaker 2:

That gets. No, it was perfect, perfect. So I don't know what was in their sauce. It was so good. But if you go to Vegas, people go to Pizza Rock. It's down on Fremont Street like oh no, no, it's a block over from Fremont, but you can see it, mm-hmm, if you walk the Fremont experience, you'll see it. So definitely check it out. Nice, but we just we had a good time. It was more about like Chilling out, relaxing. Actually, the festival the life is beautiful festival was happening. Okay. So the day the rose was supposedly playing, I wore my rose t-shirt and walked around town, but it was actually like three blocks away from our hotel, oh my god.

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:

I played 3D Single that drop.

Speaker 2:

Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun yeah.

Speaker 1:

It's still, but not as heavily sexual, I guess. Well, no, except well, there's a clean version Hello even the clean version.

Speaker 2:

Some of the things he says are code for certain things.

Speaker 1:

I know, girl, this boy is coming fierce like heavy, but I mean yo he's wearing a shirt.

Speaker 2:

I don't.

Speaker 1:

I'm like. Ok, now that you said that, I'm like I said I commented to family. I hope he doesn't get as big of a see like one oh yeah. Have you seen his back, mm? Hmm, like yo, it's a freaking table.

Speaker 2:

I know. I was like how is that even possible? Because he's still got that teeny tiny way. No, I was like that is like unreal.

Speaker 1:

I'm thinking that was going to be an angle that they took the picture of, because I'm like yo, I thought, ok, from the back. I'm like, well, I know those tattoos. Well, that back I do not recognize. And I'm like, wait a minute, they want to have a freaking sleeve tattoo. Nope, no, it was. But I'm like whoa?

Speaker 2:

Well, because usually the way he dresses, he wears baggy clothes because he's so damn big now and so it covers it, it hides it. You sort of just go, oh you know, look, he's all cute in his big baggy jeans and baggy T shirt, and then, and then he takes the shirt off and you're like what? Yeah, oh, my gosh, my eyes.

Speaker 1:

My eyes, I just my eyes just pop out and rolling all over his damn body, but anyways good thing he's a man now.

Speaker 2:

Well, did you see his Vogue spread? Yeah, I love you. Know that. The plaid punk rock thing, yes, those pants, imagine like a red steward plaid yeah, that I had those when I was younger, oh, cool. So those are just so. Everybody knows those are old fashion, that he is now finding.

Speaker 1:

We're talking like 70s. This is 70s fashion, 80s for me. Oh, 80s but it's the punk era. Yeah, yeah, 70s In.

Speaker 2:

England. It has never gone away. So one of my journeys over there, yeah, when I was younger we went to a huge market and there were these, those pants, and I was like, oh my God, only they're red plaid.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Well, I don't have them anymore.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. I don't fit in them anymore, so they're gone, but you can get the size that you can.

Speaker 2:

I'll have to go back and buy them again, but what I loved was there's the sort of Jazzy when he's got the piano and like the wingtip shoes. I was like, is that the Twin Peaks set? Did you recognize the floor? I?

Speaker 1:

don't know Twin Peaks oh oh my God, really. Yeah, I know, I never seen Twin Peaks.

Speaker 2:

I had a Twin Peaks moment. That's what happened to me when I saw I looked at the floor, and went oh my God, like did they steal the set from Twin Peaks? Because there's this weird dream phase, which is funny because what he's doing is like a little acting out different scenarios, so it's like a dream. So I was like he's going through his Twin Peaks era.

Speaker 2:

But it was just, it was cool because, I don't know, it brought me back, you know, memories of certain things. So yeah, there's, but there's a scene, a dream scene, sort of weird.

Speaker 1:

I mean, it's David Lynch.

Speaker 2:

So David Lynch, it's, it's bizarre anyways.

Speaker 1:

But I, I I do like his art Sometimes. I fall asleep on his movies because sometimes it just well, it's heavy. His stuff can be heavy. I know girl I had. There was one time I was really heavily in looking into his stuff on his art and whatever that. I even have my own David Lynch movie, dream type of. I even wrote it down because I was like I can't believe I actually created this in my mind but it was a lot from his influence, so yeah, I have it.

Speaker 2:

Well, he's sort of like the Fellini of the US, because Fellini has some weird things to it, but the it's that floor, that zigzag floor. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the dream sequence of Twin Peaks. Ok, actually I think it's from the movie. The TV show didn't last, it was only two seasons, ok. But then they did a movie to tie up all the loose ends, because I don't know why the the series got canceled or just stopped. No budget, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

It's because he's too out there and probably couldn't even afford it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so it was like you were left with all these questions. So they did this movie fire walk with me to serve, put everything in order, and that, I think, is where that floor is the dream sequence. But I was just like, oh my God, and the way he was dancing around it freaked me out. Because I was like, oh my God, you know, they had a behind the scenes of the photo shoot and he's dancing to some music or whatever. I was like, oh my God, this is so Twin Peaks, so Twin Peaks.

Speaker 1:

So, ok, I got to find you know what, but he was dancing around to some jazz, like playing the piano. I saw a reel or somebody took a reel, you know, made a reel out of him with the Johnny Walker, with the Johnny Walker label, black, oh, ok, yeah, yeah. And I'm like, I'm like who is waving that bottle? And then all of a sudden he sits down and I'm like, oh, I'm G and he's opening that. And he's like you're going to drink it like that, you hanging out with Yungi.

Speaker 2:

That's where you got it from. That's where you got it from. Yeah, he drinks it, I think with some sort of like.

Speaker 1:

I hope it's not an energy drink or something.

Speaker 2:

No, really like seltzer maybe.

Speaker 1:

I only saw him drinking it neat. Well, again, this was just a real. Yeah, I didn't saw the whole thing. I'm sure that was from a, not a chat a live or something.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, ok. No, there's some. Sometimes it is just the honest, other times it's mixed with something. So if it's the good stuff, I think he drinks it straight. If it's the you know off label stuff he makes.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah. Yeah cookies out there snatching everything Mm. Hmm, that boy.

Speaker 2:

Now it's his moment to shine. It's a moment to shine.

Speaker 1:

It's his solo, it is solo and he's just. Yeah Well, the same thing. You know, like the magazine spreads for RM. Oh my God.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I know the dazed yeah.

Speaker 1:

Oh my God, I love it, love. It was so Archie, it was so him. It was like oh, with the blue hair he looks so temporary blue hair. Yeah, I love it. Now was like oh maybe boy.

Speaker 2:

So, speaking of modeling stuff, did you see Raul's? Latest stuff Girl what are those boots?

Speaker 1:

Girl, girl, girl and whatever top he had. Yeah, it was like a mini. It looked okay.

Speaker 2:

Mini dress, mini dress, yes it was a mini dress with long tails on the coat. Yeah, the thigh high boots that, hello. What are you doing, raul? Wow, your baby, don't do that.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

Stunning work. No, it's. It's an incredible little photo spread that he did.

Speaker 1:

Not just because he's part of snowman, but if he, if I never ever met known him as being part of snowman, just seeing his fashion work, I would have fallen in love. Yeah, no, I would have been modeling. It's this kid.

Speaker 2:

Incredible.

Speaker 1:

He just pops. He's modeling pops, it does. You know? He does bring live to the garment, you know, it's not just like you always see me, I'm not all, but just walks up and they're called them walking coat racks, you know. But not Raul, no, he brings a soul to the garment, he brings a personality. I just love this kid.

Speaker 2:

He's larger than life. He is just so amazing. Oh my goodness.

Speaker 1:

I still have in my mind, I'm still going to put it out there Raul, can you, please, please, please, dance some flamenco. I would love to see Raul dance flamenco, putting it out there again, because I he will be amazing, definitely. Oh because, of course, we know him as being an amazing dancer as well. And now these vocals I know right.

Speaker 2:

I know right, hey. So yes, with Raul, should we move into sort of a brief moment of some changes going on? Yes, in the entertainment industry that he's part of. Yes, as many people know, johnny's is going through a little something and therefore making some changes. Yes, and we've been learning that some of the groups are changing their names. Yes, or at least looking into changing names.

Speaker 1:

Oh, no, they're changing names.

Speaker 2:

They're definitely changing names. Well, I know at least two are definitely the third one I thought they were still debating. Now they're going to go through with it fuma, fuma and kenti. Oh yeah, no, they're definitely sexy zones.

Speaker 1:

Definitely change okay so, as we know, kenti have made an announcement on ig for everybody who are not part of the fan club, but he actually made the announcement in the sexy zone fan club that they are thinking of changing their name and even shory made a statement of why this is best for the group in future and also the agreement. So I'm gonna say things that I heard from the sexy sexy lovers because you know they have been open communication with some of them. They have told me what the group have been said, have been saying in the uh in the fan club that we don't know about. But even though kenti have made the announcement in his ig that they're gonna be changing the name of sexy zones. So what I? What sexy lovers have told me in what?

Speaker 1:

In the chat that they had in the fan club, one of them, shory, was saying that is best for the thinking ahead of future to be outside of japan, internationally, a group named sexy zone. It's non pg, yeah, it's kind of front upon. And also, when you search, did you use any like internet engine? You put the word sexy zone? It's gonna bring you to x-rated material. You know things that is not about the group. Even the name is a bad name. Um well, fuma never liked it. Fuma never liked it. He have vocalized it. I what actually saw this uh, in show interview program from japan where he even said when I was debuting in this group, I was afraid to tell my classmates the name of it because it sounds lewd so he's right and he is right um, he even made the comment in the fan club the back in 2019.

Speaker 1:

They were actually wanting to change the name. Oh wow, and what happened? In 2019? Mr johnny passed away yep, so I'm thinking he was over, like okay, now we can change it. He's not around. Yeah, let's be fuma. You know how he is. He has no near his tongue. He's straight to the point. He's kind of like both of the Pisces. He's like us, doesn't like something.

Speaker 1:

He just spoke, you know, says it tells you yeah, you know right now this is how I feel you know it's not so much, yeah, yeah but now, with the changes in the company and also the company no longer being called johnny's and associates is now called smile up, and even that, I think, is there's some stuff going on, yeah nothing has been finalized.

Speaker 1:

Some things are happening in the month of october. Uh, besides sexy zones changing their name, we have also johnny's west johnny's west. I've also vocalized with the fans that they want to change the name and they want the fans to help them with a group name I think also sexy zones. Not sure about that, but I know johnny's was have actually vocalized. So the fans to please leave those comments in their youtube channel which is amazing yes, definitely, we don't know about can johnny eight though.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that one's. That's tough, but janino channel janino channel changing talking about it.

Speaker 2:

And yeah, there's. There's a whole lot going on here with sponsorship and agents and managers and and things. That's sort of complicating life for a lot of these artists and it's we talked about this before. Yeah, it's unfortunate because I think it's bs that the artists and the talent, all of these kids that have so much talent and potential, are men. You know, young men, column kids started getting punished for something that's not in their control, right? You know, a lot of them are, in fact, victims and they're being punished for being the victim of something, yeah, which is terrible. And I really hope that a lot of these sponsors and a lot of these management and agents work to help them and promote them and move them in a new direction, as opposed to dropping them because of something that had you know they had no control over this wasn't their fault. You know what I mean, so I some I want.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I wonder how these contracts are, because how can you drop somebody out of the contract? Out of the blue? You have a contract. Is that stated on the contract? You? Know like this is so iffy because you know you're getting paid by this sponsor, but if it doesn't have a clause, whereas, like, we're dropping, you know if this happened well, I think you know it's.

Speaker 2:

These are, these are contracts maybe that are up. Their time is up. Also, I I'm not sure you know there's a lot of legalese and stuff. Yeah, I know because the company is no longer the company that if that changes everything, if that makes it null and void. Do you know what I'm saying? Yeah because contracts can be broken because of that's.

Speaker 1:

That's the legal thing. You know that we don't even know what's going on in those contracts, but there's, yeah, so there's a few, a very few. You're playing with people's payment.

Speaker 2:

You're playing with people's payroll. Well, yeah, just their livelihood. And you know, and as much as you want to erase association with something in the past, right, um, you need to sort of transition it, move it forward. Because all of these, all of these kids, all of these acts, all of these performers, you know, again they're, they're being punished for something, right that they're just working their asses off, yeah, to do what they want to do, to do what they love, they're just an employee and yeah, yeah so, but, like I said, there's it a very few that are working to to maintain association with the artists themselves and disassociate from the agency.

Speaker 2:

Right, and that's a big part of it, is the they are independent.

Speaker 1:

They're under this agency, but outside of that they are independent artists so keep that, you know what I mean yeah, I'm uh, um, yeah, when, when nino was trying to describe and he was at a loss and you know how well nino is with when it comes to money he was even like I don't know. We need an expert to really explain to us what's going on, because even the rest of the groups are like, yeah, there are like in a loss, they're lost. And um, there was one question the fuma says like, can we be in two different contracts? Can we? You know, we can say we have seen from kpop artist hello wasa, from mama mu. Yeah, she, she's still with mama mu but she's under p nation but still works with mama mu. Um, there is so different contracts in there, even though she's not, you know.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, well, I am from monsta x exactly he's not with the, the company, but he's still with the band exactly. So, yeah, it can be done, but there's I'm sure there's so much tied up in all of this exactly johnny's was Such a huge company that covered so many different things, and it's it's hard to say.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I Seen comments out there like how is this have gone for decades? How has this been going on for this long? How come nobody said anything which it had in the past now it has come out because of this happening have come on. Oh yeah, things that did happen in the past, but it's just you know like, oh my god.

Speaker 2:

Well, it's unfortunately Very common thing in the entertainment industry. Look at here in Hollywood. Well, remember that I mean the me too movement, right, huge years, and, and this is years and years and years and we still in the me too movement because I've seen some of the information from this and even amongst all of the people in the organization there's sort of different views and different takes on what was happening.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you know what I mean. Like, oh yeah, I see some comments from other artists about the agency and the owner and the CEO that I was like yo, really this is reflecting Lee really bad on Japan. I Mean, you know, mm, because already there's people out there that have some negative things about Japan and Now, with that, with this coming out to light, they're like see, I told you about Japan. You know, yeah, those who are big it's, they're quickly gonna be, you know, oh, don't go to Japan because look at what they do that's, but you know what that's?

Speaker 1:

it's everywhere you know, but you know, they just don't they don't talk about it.

Speaker 2:

No, exactly, that's sort of the bigger difference. And for a long time though, you know, here with the me too movement, people weren't talking about it. Everybody knew it was happening and nobody said anything.

Speaker 1:

I'm glad that this is happening and I hope that in other nations that things are happening like this. It comes out to light because this has to stop worldwide.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, no, it's like I said, it's sort of like the biggest well-kept secret. That's not a secret exactly. Every everybody knows it's happening and it's just, it's completely unacceptable and it's totally. The entertainment industry is kind of a predatory place.

Speaker 1:

Oh, yeah, you know, only those who have money are the ones that you know it comes back, logs down to people have the money, then they can shush those you know with money and power and and I'm glad that this happened and I'm glad that those groups are moving on from. You know, this is a new, a new, a new chapter in their life, a new chapter as a talent, and I'm happy that sexy songs are in this. You know their decision to change in their name, so happy.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so happy.

Speaker 1:

Definitely okay. Example BTS wasn't called BTS. Bts changed it. They used to be bangtan boys. Also, rm changed his name. He used to be called rap monster and he's like. You know what I see in the future ahead for the, for myself and the group. All right, at least for himself as a solo artist. I'm just gonna go with RM and that's a great move. So for those who are Sad, because I have seen the comments, I'm so sad they're changing their name. I'm like don't be sad, this is good. Mm-hmm, this is, this is even great, it's well.

Speaker 2:

It's growth for them and it's them taking control of their future.

Speaker 1:

Exactly. It's like they're taking off shackles that they had since they were preteens.

Speaker 2:

I'm sorry, yeah, they were none even. Yeah, when you're 11 and 12.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's a when you have the youngest one being 11 years old, poor Mario's yo debuting in a group called sexy zone, cringe, cringe. I remember when we did our episode on sexy zone and we have to listen to the sexy zone Song. Yes, then I'm like, geez, these are kids. No, that song was so cringy, so cringy again as as outsiders from it.

Speaker 2:

When we first heard the name it was cringy, was like Not who names you know anyways like that's a strip club song.

Speaker 1:

I mean the name. Yeah, yeah that's not a poor boys, unless young boys unless this is Like I said, strip club Is not it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah. Well, like I said, now, this is, this is good groups they're. They're moving on, and I think it's also good that, in the case of, like Johnny's West and con Johnny eight, if they are changing the name, that they're considering the association of the name. Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah, they're like, we know this could trigger people that this is they're aware of what it means to have that in in the name. So it's a move for themselves as well to break free of that.

Speaker 1:

So rebirth association.

Speaker 2:

So it's, it's good. I'm happy for all of them that they're they're taking their future into their hands and trying to make make a change. I'm happy. Yeah, move forward.

Speaker 1:

I'm happy I'm. What's the one we gotta change? We're changing it. Now I'm seeing fuma. Okay, it was 2019. Let's change it. And maybe somebody said no, no, no, no, you can't yet, no, we can't do that?

Speaker 2:

No, no, no, you're, you're a brand, and I'm sure he's like we're changing it Some point.

Speaker 1:

We're gonna change his name. I've done with his name.

Speaker 2:

With a group.

Speaker 1:

I'm done with the name, yeah you know, and now that this is happening, I'm sure he's like yes, yes, freedom, I can see him doing. It's like you know, like he gets so crazy and extra.

Speaker 2:
