Nostalgic Notes and Mystical Musings in the JPOP and KPOP Scene

As the snow falls, Sarah and Panic cozy up to the mic and invite you into our world of Asian music reverie. Expect a hearty dose of nostalgia mixed with modern flair as we kick things off with TVXQ's U-KNOW (Yunho) and his disco-inspired "Fix It." Our chat sways through the beats of his solo adventure, and we also discuss his behind the scenes collaborator. Plus, we've got a little mystery on the burner, as Sarah teases out the remnants of a peculiar dream that's more than just a sleepy memory.

Transitioning with the ease of a well-oiled turntable, we pump it up with PSYCHIC FEVER from EXILE TRIBE (feat. F.Hero & Bear Knuckle) on the track "Spice," where metal riffs meet spitfire lyrics. The diversity in their music mirrors their ethos of inclusion, something we celebrate as much as the tracks themselves.

Last up we have ORβIT and the single "Bull's Eye"! Yugo's charm and Tomo's allure- our hearts can barely keep up as we discuss our boys, and the beloved group's reunion song. It's a melting pot of happiness that only gets richer when we shine a spotlight on June's songwriting genius , and the entire groups vocal talents .

Now, brace yourselves as we head down a sparkler-lit tunnel, where dreams weave into reality and hint at an auspicious encounter right around the corner. Our banter takes a playful turn with the latest social media shenanigans from entertainers like Nino and Fuma, with a selfie that could give the new CEO a run for his money. It's a glimpse into the jovial world of Japanese entertainment, and just like that cheeky post, our podcast is sure to leave you with a smile. So, join us for a session that's part melody, part mystery, and wholly mesmerizing.

I'm like, oh, I need to send this to Sarah. Look at cat daddy.

Speaker 1: 3:01

It was so amazing because he just like yeah.

Speaker 2: 3:13

Well, I bet he he was probably trying for like an hour to get them, because cats do not cooperate, they're not like dogs, they don't perform, so he's probably like trying and trying. So when he finally went and they both responded, I know because his reaction of Koi was like so genuine, like you could see him melting onto the floor because his cats are so adorable- he loves these cats to death.

Speaker 1: 3:37

Speaker 1: 4:20

We're talking about singles today. It's not. It's not right, yeah, rambling.

Speaker 2: 4:23

Yeah, yeah, I said that on the second intro. Oh, okay, the second time we started. Wow, the sleep. I believe I said it anyway Sleep, the pride brain over here.

Speaker 1: 4:38

I have not taken a nap after the show. Oh, I got hooked on a show on a Netflix series. What one? It's called the Brothers Son. I have not heard of it. I have a thing now I'm liking, like Asian gangsta, you know, drama or whatever. Okay, so it's about this Taiwan gangsters, you know yeah.

Speaker 1: 5:07

I'm just only going to say, but it has a lot of actors that I do follow. Okay, so I saw the first episode and I'm like I'm just going to watch it. You know one here and there. And then I was like and yeah, I'm hooked.

Speaker 2: 5:17

So I just been.

Speaker 1: 5:19

I finished it, so I've been to watch the whole thing, that's one thing, I'm sleep deprived, you know. And then also the one that Okada did the dogs, that Miyabi was in it too. I know it's dogs, Geez, I forgot, but it was, or still, in Netflix, anyways. So I'm liking like, yeah, cool song Kind of thing comes out and start watching it. I just like the fight scenes, yeah, especially the whole, like martial arts, mm-hmm. Just love it, because it reminds me of, like I'm gonna go old kung fu Series back in the 80s.

Speaker 2: 5:57

Oh, and like 70s, yep Love that.

Speaker 1: 5:59

I just like it All right, anyways. So we're gonna be talking about three songs, yes, yes. Not things that I'm watching. So we usually talk about five, but my ADD brain, as you can tell from the beginning, cannot concentrate on more than three, so we're doing three songs today and we warned everybody about that last time. Yes, so yes, plus work and whatnot, which now has changed, but we can talk about that later.

Speaker 2: 6:38

Well, I was gonna sit before we start later. I have to tell you to crazy it was a dream. I only remember a small part, so it's gonna be real short, but we'll talk about that later too. Oh, okay, yeah, so you want? I haven't looked it up, so I'm sort of weirded out and fascinated at the same time.

Speaker 1: 6:55

It was one of those vivid ones.

Speaker 2: 6:57

Yeah, it was very vivid, but, like I said, just this small part.

Speaker 1: 7:00

Nice, yeah, so you want to go ahead and introduce our first song.

Speaker 2: 7:05

I shall, because you know, I love this artist. Yes, who happens to be, you know.

Speaker 1: 7:16

TV. Excuse, but it's you know solo right. Yes, featuring His name is Dinden, and then the song is fix it.

Speaker 2: 7:25

Yeah, well, what I love? This boy loves disco. That's oh yeah, oh yeah. This is like elements of old-school, like disco and funk, with the chicka chicka guitar and the bass Organ in there, and then there's like little touches of 80s synth pop. He throws in some early hip-hop rap sounds and you're like what is going on? So it's like perfect, because it's got everything. Mm-hmm, love it, love it. And his voice is so Perfect for this sound. Yes, because he can do the General melody and then the falsetto and he's just so versatile. Oh god, I love it. I just you can't get it out of your head. You know what I mean. You're like yeah you can fix it.

Speaker 2: 8:18

fix it, fix it or not?

Speaker 2: 8:20

You can fix it, fix it, whatever, just. I love that. It's sort of just this like do you boo? You know, like, whatever happens, you can fix it or not, you know? And I there's a line in there, I I kept listening, like what is he saying? He's like even God's not perfect, right? I love it. So he's like just don't be so hard on yourself, relax, do what you got to do and you can deal with the consequences Later, yes or not, yeah, yeah. But this one was such a like groove. You know what I mean? I'd be at work, like just and it's so funny because last week I sort of screwed up at work no, so this song because that is true.

Speaker 2: 9:11

I'm like wow, wow, thank you for giving me the, you know, the absolute. Okay, that Shit goes wrong and you can fix it, because I did, I was able to fix it. Break, damn. I'm talk about, you know, like Synchronicity, exactly.

Speaker 1: 9:28

This is your song Exactly, wow. Well, that's cool, right?

Speaker 2: 9:36

I like that yeah.

Speaker 1: 9:37

I like that. Well, speaking of fix it, because I was gonna tell you something about a work, so you know, later on I told you that I needed a birthday project. I have to redo the project, oh yeah, to make it more User-friendly.

Speaker 2: 9:53

Okay, smoother running.

Speaker 1: 9:55

So you got to fix it too, I gotta fix it too, but it's not like oh, my goodness, you know, like okay, else, this is something that is a developing project.

Speaker 2: 10:03

Gotcha.

Speaker 1: 10:03

So you have to make it more friendly Because, long story short, it was supposed to be for my benefit on how to keep track on some things. But then Management like what I was doing, so they wanted me to now incorporate it for the our department and Fortunately, not everybody in my department are tech savvy, so now I have to like dumb it down. So yeah, I need to fix it, just like this song. So yes, mr, you know from TV xq Still going around. That's awesome that he's still going around, you know? I mean, he's, my god, 10 years.

Speaker 2: 10:52

Yeah, I was gonna say they've been.

Speaker 1: 10:53

I think they debuted in active for no more than 20 years.

Speaker 2: 10:57

I think their second generation k-pop. Yeah, cuz I thought didn't they debut in like 2003.

Speaker 1: 11:04

Yeah, yeah, so it's been 20 plus years now and he's still. I mean, his voice is amazing, come on.

Speaker 1: 11:11

Oh yeah, the man's voice is amazing so is him, and also didn't in didn't did the rap, and also Mr Dinden with his swap rap. He also was part of writing this song, oh cool. So yeah, like your favorite, the disco groove. The upbeat song goes against you moving. Come on with the funkiness and all that stuff. But when I was looking up into Dinden, I forgot that he debuted it on show me the money to. That was him back in 2013. So he's been a rapper. He's main thing is hip-hop rap, composing and writing, and I was really happy that was that he was part of this. So, just like, the song is part of an album, though, but this was was actually single, you know for his solo.

Speaker 2: 12:02

Yeah, no, I did see that they had a whole album. So it's funny, when you were like let's do this one, I was like, yeah, picking the solo alright. I'm okay with that.

Speaker 1: 12:14

Cuz. I know you're like. This is like Sarah's type of song. She loves this, she likes to groove to this.

Speaker 2: 12:22

I can't help it. It's catchy.

Speaker 1: 12:26

When I go, you know what, let's go instead of going in order because yeah, okay, okay. The next song that I would like to talk about is the psychic figure fevers Featuring Thai rappers. Actually, these are all rappers F hero and the Taiwanese Japanese group, bare knuckle. You know, the song is spice. This is another, you know, collaboration type of song. Yeah, but this is like hip-hop, heavy full hip-hop, with like metal melody sprinkles, because you will need to have that break. What it's like one of the members from bare knuckle she will like it's a co-ed. Oh, bear knuckles is a co-ed group. But what I love about bare knuckles, they're also from Thai, they're tight at Thai group and one other members is from an LBGTQ community. How did that happen? Because the company was looked at, made addition to finding people, finding people in the in in that community.

Speaker 2: 13:29

I'm like this is awesome.

Speaker 1: 13:31

So they were like a casual company purposely was looking for people who were you know, I'll be, you know the alphabet people I call it. So it was really cool. And then they made this group I but this. Yeah, this is all like spice On your face. You have F-Hero, his voice is like on your face and this song is pretty spicy, you know, just because it's just fire and it's like on your face. Everybody got their own thing. Very, I don't want to say it's groovy, but it's more like get it done, kind of thing you know, I was gonna say I like they have some traditional sound music going on.

Speaker 2: 14:12

It sounds like the Samuelson, I'm not sure Some sort of oboe-like thing, but then they also have trumpets, you know modern sort of drums, and just random instrument sounds all over the place. So it's very grabs your attention because there's just this sort of whole musical adventure going on. You're like what, what am I hearing now? What am I hearing now? There's parts that sound like Rasta Reggae. I mean it's crazy. I heard steel drums going on. I'm like what, what is happening here? It is like a cacophony of sound, but in a good way, like it's another one grabs you, totally grabs you.

Speaker 2: 14:52

And I don't know about you, but there were times where I was like I feel like I should be mashing. Yes, I need to be in a pit shoving people around, because it's got that attitude. Like I mean just that opening statement there, hate to interrupt. We about to turn it up. Yeah, I'm like okay, this is in your face, we're going to be amping you up. Oh, my God, it's so awesome, you know. And they're just like hands up in the club, take off, do you know? Spice it up, burn it up, turn it up. I mean, it's just. This is totally them being like we are here, we're in your face and we're going to get you going. This is going to be. You're going to remember this show, oh yeah. So yeah, this was the total polar opposite of fix it, but I loved it just as much. This. I was like I'm in my office, turn it up. I'm sure everybody at work was like what is she listening to?

Speaker 1: 15:57

Yeah this is one that you had to be up. You know up. This is not like a groove in.

Speaker 2: 16:03

you know groove.

Speaker 1: 16:04

Oh yeah, this is just like head banging, almost to.

Speaker 2: 16:08

Yeah, that's what it was like. I'm one mash Because because it's got that sort of aggressive sound, you know, I mean it's yeah, this is like stomping your feet, you know, yeah, and so they're definitely. We're here to show you how it's done.

Speaker 1: 16:25

Oh yeah.

Speaker 2: 16:26

Yeah, love it, love it, love it.

Speaker 1: 16:28

Yeah, now that I like the whole collaboration here from the Japanese and also the Thai artists as well. So, because you hear that as well and you know the lyrics, you hear which is that was amazing, just awesome, very powerful song. Okay, our last song because, of course, three songs today.

Speaker 2: 16:48

It's so much shorter when we only do three, I know.

Speaker 1: 16:51

But then I threw you that curve ball and you're like not for this time, right? And you're like, no, we'll do it next time. Well, for the fourth song, you needed to pick the one that you oh, oh, that was supposed to be for that. No, no, no, no for next time. You're like okay, we'll do it for next time, okay, okay.

Speaker 2: 17:10

Because I'm like I thought we were only doing three. Yeah, we only doing three, Okay.

Speaker 1: 17:16

I like to throw curve balls and Sarah's like why don't you want? Why is she making me do this?

Speaker 2: 17:22

Well, no, no, no, no, I was just, I was. I'm like I only prepared for three. I don't know.

Speaker 1: 17:29

Okay.

Speaker 2: 17:30

So third song you gonna introduce it, or am I? You can go ahead, all right, so it came out. We were actually both surprised because I was like, wait, I thought this was coming out at the end of the month.

Speaker 1: 17:42

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 17:43

And so we must have mixed our signals. But anyways, on January 11th, bullseye from orbit came out, and we were like, yeah Well, they've been teasing it for so long with all the little you know each member posing.

Speaker 1: 17:58

And whatever, and the cover for the, for the song, and whatever, and we're like we can't wait, we can't wait.

Speaker 2: 18:05

Yeah. So when I finally came out, I was like wait, it's already.

Speaker 1: 18:09

I know when we were recording our episode of the Christmas box that I was holding to see Sarah, I'm like come on, we have a pressy, we need to look at it. And then that week after that's when you know the song was released and we're like, oh my God, we have to do this Definitely.

Speaker 2: 18:29

Yes.

Speaker 1: 18:30

Yes, it's bullseye. Oh my God, he's so cute. It's just so peppy, it's just pop cuteness, it's a peppy song. This is the song of you know. Just all of them together, finally, you know, but sometimes in the middle you can hear them all like you know, like bullseye.

Speaker 2: 18:53

Like yeah.

Speaker 1: 18:55

We got this, of course, my boy, hugo, and his little voice is so cute. You know, tomo, oh, my goodness Girl, I was like, oh okay, now I know who has the sultry voice here Mr Tamo. Yes, it's Mr Tamo. You know, he has an amazing, amazing voice. All of them do All of them in unison, all of them just. You know, the harmonies are so good. This song just makes me feel so good and so happy to hear them all together.

Speaker 2: 19:24

I know I was like wow, so this is what. Like the whole group, yeah.

Speaker 1: 19:29

I can't wait for the album.

Speaker 2: 19:30

I can't wait for the album, I know.

Speaker 1: 19:32

That's why I was. I'm like I don't, I mean bullseye, you know, it's like you nail it, you know you were having, you know, and I was. I was more excited to hear them sing than actually just trying to find a meaning to the song. Then I'm like I just want to hear them sing because it's been too long. It's been too long of a hiatus. Even though the group has continued with only five members, but all seven together. Oh my God.

Speaker 2: 19:59

It's so sweet. It'll be awesome to see like performance performances too.

Speaker 1: 20:07

I just got a glimpse of Sarah's screen.

Speaker 2: 20:16

Do you know who it is?

Speaker 1: 20:17

Yeah, of course I know who they are. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2: 20:23

I mean, that's who it is works too. But anyways, back to the, my turn. Go ahead. Well, I wasn't sure if you were done. Yes, I'm done, okay. So, yes, I love the very playful opening. So it is, it's very, it's so cute. Yeah, it is. You're like, oh, this is going to be a sweet song. So it's just immediately uplifting and energetic. But I like there's this slight reverb on the bass and the synth, so it gives it sort of just a little bit of edge, even though it's not an edgy song.

Speaker 1: 20:56

You know, because sometimes you hear this little that is so cute, it is, it's just so cute. Oh, and, by the way, june is in these credits. Oh, is a right. Yes, yes. I'm like yes, he's getting paid. So this is the cool thing about this group that some members will be writing. You know part of the songs and it's like awesome, because we love that, we love when they do that.

Speaker 2: 21:23

Absolutely. Yes, yeah, there's. They got the like steady clap going on throughout it to sort of keep you moving. Just, you can feel the energy like, yeah, just keep going.

Speaker 2: 21:33

Oh, I totally got like summer beach party, feel out of this, like everybody's just playing, having having fun, enjoying themselves, hanging out, sort of flirty. You know what I mean. Like, because I get the impression from some of the lyrics they're talking about I'm gonna hit a bullseye with you. I'm gonna like get you right in the heart. Yes, boom bang center, because it's there is a little bit of you know, like I want to be by your side and All of that you know. So it's definitely like I don't know so much flirting or a love song, but just like we're gonna hit it off. Yeah, and as we've talked about before, that can mean any number of things, not necessarily romantic, but just we're gonna have a good time and we're we are going to connect. It's gonna be a bullseye and I just I love the overall Uplifting, happy feeling about this song. You know what I mean. It's just positive in every way.

Speaker 1: 22:34

The music's positive, the lyrics are positive now that you meant you saying that it's just bringing in my, is what I'm Calculating, or just putting together in my head is that they are all now together, so they just bringing it, just them and the fans. We're all together now. We know we're bringing it together.

Speaker 2: 22:52

Oh yeah, that's why I was thinking. I was like it's not necessarily, like they could be talking about them Actually finally reuniting and we're gonna we're gonna hit a bullseye with this.

Speaker 1: 23:01

Yes and they are. They totally are yes, so we can't wait.

Speaker 2: 23:05

But yeah, the parts, well, you can always tell when your you go is saying there is right off the bat. But when you were saying Tomo in the song, I was like oh yeah, oh yeah, listen to that. And now everybody knows why, love. Boy he has the soul tree voice, mm-hmm. Well, there's a couple of them.

Speaker 1: 23:32

It shows another one. Mm-hmm but um, yeah, tomo, it's all. Of course you go, he's okay, um, Not at, the other ones are not. But I mean you can tell like it's the timber. You know yeah when you have a sound that you like, that timber, that's the one that sticks in your head like oh my god, yes, this is he's my favorite, you know, but you go is just like his persona.

Speaker 1: 23:58

He's just himself, and then the voice is just just Whale. That's why I just love this boy so much. He's so teeny and pocket-sized.

Speaker 2: 24:06

I know he's so cute. I'm sure he would totally be offended by that, but he like he is, he's so precious.

Speaker 1: 24:14

Yes, I call him my cherub. He is a cherub. He's so adorable. I love him. I'll just put little wings on him. You know he's so cute.

Speaker 2: 25:40

Well, and he's got such a serious face, but it's like he can't be too serious, cuz it's right you're like he's he, just he can't look like. You know tough and edgy.

Speaker 1: 25:55

And that's not an insult, that's just he's so so who he is? Yeah and you can't believe he's like what he's early 20s Howdy little liiiip like the Rosie cheeks.

TikTok. But I was like, whoop, what he looked so good. That was, like, you know, not a costume, not an outfit, not, he was just, it was just him being who he is doing his little TikTok. I was like, oh Tomo, I knew immediately who.

Speaker 1: 29:09

I was, sarah was melting. I was, I was like more, more. So it's something called Smash Beat 3, but it's hit them Super Dragon in another group. Or is this a TV thing? No, it's there's April 3rd at Zep Diver City in Tokyo and then April 12th in Zep Osaka Bayside. How?

Speaker 2: 29:41

come I thought it was March.

Speaker 1: 29:43

Right, okay, I wonder if there's something else. Let's see April, april. That's just the most recent dates I've seen. Maybe they were doing a fan thing, because they sometimes do fan. Like fan meets and stuff Right, like club fan club members thing. Oh, okay, yeah, I don't know. Okay, no, that's the only thing I see. That is with dates.

Speaker 2: 30:09

So it's in April, but it's not just them, it's, and it's like a two-day thing, though, or?

Speaker 1: 30:14

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 30:15

Over a couple of days. Okay, just two days. Either way, we're still excited. They're doing stuff. They're getting out there.

Speaker 1: 30:23

Yay, yeah, twitter has just pretty much promoting novels.

Speaker 2: 30:28

I what Twitter?

Speaker 1: 30:30

You said yeah, x Twitter.

Speaker 2: 30:32

X Twitter. I really am not liking how it works now. No, yeah, me neither. You go to look at something and then there's like 30 things that have nothing to do with what you were. You're like yeah, oh, what's the comment here? What were people saying? And I'm like what does this have to do with? Like, that's not a comment for this. How is this even in there? Right, right.

Speaker 1: 30:53

Oh, it's annoying. Okay, so now this is not giving me what I want either, so now I don't know when is the album coming out, but they have made an announcement.

Speaker 2: 31:03

Yeah, I thought it was the end of January, like January 31st. I could be wrong, anyway, so.

Speaker 1: 31:10

Yay, arbett, yay, the boys are back and we can't wait to hear more. Ooh, now I'm looking at their pictures and I'm like Swung, swung.

Speaker 2: 31:23

Definitely.

Speaker 1: 31:23

All right enough, I can't Okay.

Speaker 2: 31:25

Bye, all right.

Speaker 1: 31:29

Okay, so tell me about your dream.

Speaker 2: 31:31

Okay, so like literally, it's really just this very short part that I remember so vividly. Okay Is I was walking in like a tunnel, but not like a street tunnel, like it was more an arbor tunnel.

Speaker 2: 31:47

You know, set up gate Like if you think of like that gate, walk to temples and stuff you know, something like it was similar to that, okay, and I was walking along it and then all of a sudden it was like sparklers were all around the edges of the gates as I'm walking this tunnel, so the whole tunnel was sparklers.

Speaker 2: 32:10

And I was just walking in this fire, basically, but not, you know, burning fire. It was just magical looking and that that's all I remember from the dream. Okay, but it was just. Yeah, I was walking and it was like nothing at first, and then just all of a sudden it lit up and just as far as I could see was sparkler. So I was literally just like surrounded by a ball of sparkliness. Oh wow, you know, like that was all I could see once they started going. It was just it went on forever.

Speaker 1: 32:42

Wow.

Speaker 2: 32:43

Right, isn't that weird.

Speaker 1: 32:44

And that's it. You wrote by yourself.

Speaker 2: 32:46

Yeah, yeah, it was, it was, and it was dark when I first started walking. Okay, so that's why when the sparklers started, it was so intense, that is intense, and I just I was walking a lot peacefully, like I wasn't surprised by the sparklers, yeah, I just was like, oh cool, do, do, do, just keep walking. But like I couldn't see an end, it was just all light and shimmery and glittery and it's a tunnel. Well, it wasn't. I call it a tunnel just because it was a series of like these, or arches, arches, yeah, so it's, but they weren't quite rounded arch, it was like, like I said, it was more like those gate entrances. Only it was one after the other.

Speaker 2: 33:34

So you were, you know, you couldn't just stray off whatever path, it wasn't fully closed in but it wasn't open air. You know what I mean, right? So it was like you need to keep walking along here. It wasn't pitch black, because I could see what I was walking in, but it was dark. I couldn't see anything outside of where I was and then, magically, just the whole thing lit up. It was just kind of crazy. I almost like near death experience. I see, only the tunnel was the light, not the light at the end of the tunnel. It was crazy, very crazy.

Speaker 1: 34:14

Okay. So seeing a lit up arch in your dream, or an archway decorated by sparkling lights, tells you that you are about to meet someone who will make a big difference in your life.

Speaker 2: 34:32

What oh my god?

Speaker 1: 34:38

Wow.

Speaker 2: 34:39

I know I was like oh no Satoshi, oh no Satoshi, oh no.

Speaker 1: 34:42

Satoshi.

Speaker 2: 34:44

Oh my god, that's crazy, that is so weird.

Speaker 1: 34:49

That's not why she always use all kinds of sparkles. Oh yeah, sparkles everywhere.

Speaker 2: 34:56

Sparkles, shimmery.

Speaker 1: 34:57

Leave it to June.

Speaker 2: 34:58

Who misses June? Sequins, yeah, or Nino, hey, it could be Nino, we always talking about Nino?

Speaker 1: 35:06

We don't know Nino. Yeah, in that picture that he posted, yeah.

Speaker 2: 35:12

That boy always knows what he's doing. He always knows he said he was drunk. Uh-huh.

Speaker 1: 35:19

He's like I'm tired and drunk and he's like doing this. You know, His eyes were red.

Speaker 2: 35:25

Oh yeah, he was drunk.

Speaker 1: 35:29

I was, I couldn't. I'm like why, nino, you're so adorable and tired? Thank you for sharing your picture.

Speaker 2: 35:38

Actually did you see him posing with Yamada's photo book? Yes, and Fuma said something about Are we going to get in trouble? Because the pose he was doing, I guess, sort of mimicked the head of Starto?

Speaker 1: 35:55

Yes, fuma, starting some Starting stuff.

Speaker 2: 35:58

Thank Pisces. Villain, I know right, and I was drinking out of my villain mug this morning, so get out. Which one? The evil queen? Only when she's the evil hag. Oh, okay, I switched it up. I had been using the evil queen in her glory.

Speaker 1: 36:17

So on Fuma's Instagram, when he took that picture of Nino posing like their new CEO, I guess In the background he put the godfather music, yes. So I was like, okay, nino being the godfather. And then it's like, oh no, there's more to this.

Speaker 2: 36:36

No, I think the godfather music had to do with. Are they going to get in trouble? And like who would have thought that if Fuma hadn't brought it up Right, nino was just being sassy Nino, as far as I could tell, fuma is the one who made the correlation, so he's he's stirring the pot.

Speaker 1: 36:54

He always does. You know he, he loves Nino. If Nino starts something, he needs to finish it. Somehow those two think alike too much. Yeah, you know.

Speaker 2: 37:06

Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 1: 37:07

It's, yeah, the shenanigans. Those two have it's insane Money. No man, oh, okay, I know we're singles, but how about the part that? Okay? So I was on air when this whole conversation happened because Nino was going on a tweet, like he was just posting and posting, and of course our friend was translating those posts. I'm on air, I'm, you know, I'm doing playing the music and whatever. I'm reading this stuff that he's being posted.

Speaker 2: 37:40

And.

Speaker 1: 37:40

I'm like, oh my god, I'm going to start crying. This is crazy. So about the taxi?

Speaker 2: 37:47

Yes, okay, you know took a taxi.

Speaker 1: 37:50

The taxi driver asked him if he was you know the, you know, guess, you know. He named his name, you know me, a cousin. I went up from our she means like yes, and he's like he thought maybe was a taxi driver he has taken before. And then the driver proceeded to tell him that he was truck driver that used to truck around our. She's the sex yeah.

Speaker 1: 38:15

And Nino was like oh, how come you're not, you know, a truck driver anymore? And he's like well, since our she's on hiatus, I'm taking also hiatus from driving. But if you guys come back together I want to try, you know.

Speaker 2: 38:30

I'm a big fan. Please, please, come back soon. I'm a fan.

Speaker 1: 38:35

He's like I'm an Irish you fan, and if you come back I will, I'll be your truck driver again.

Speaker 2: 38:42

I'm like, oh my god, basically like I will only come back to truck driving for you.

Speaker 1: 38:48

Yes, I'm like I'll start crying.

Speaker 2: 38:53

I know, yeah, I saw all that too.

Speaker 1: 38:55

I'm like, the nation needs you, are she even? Even truck drivers?

Speaker 2: 39:01

are going on hiatus. Ono Satoshi, come on on.

Speaker 1: 39:05

Even truck drivers are going on hiatus. It's like I'm not trucking. Nobody's equipment is just for our she, well, that's.

Speaker 2: 39:15

You know, that's like a testament to them to obviously they made an impression on him.

Speaker 1: 39:20

Yeah.

Speaker 2: 39:21

Like because he, if he were just moving sets and never interacted with him. Because I think in her translation she said he mentioned I've met Nino Mias on before and Nino was like really what?

Speaker 2: 39:35

you know, Nino, you know just like well well, he's had well no, you know, you gotta think about how many people they see all the time when and work with. But like, obviously they were nice and polite to this man. They treated their staff well. He obviously saw them being kind and good and there's a reason he you know what I mean there's a reason that he went on hiatus with them because he doesn't want to do this job with anybody else.

Speaker 1: 40:05

Yeah, it's just like who was the taxi driver and if I'm in Japan, I only gonna ask for him. I want to be like. I want a taxi driver who's an odd she fan send me out. I want this person to drive me around. Oh yeah, that was sweet.

Speaker 2: 40:31

Yeah, it was.

Speaker 1: 40:32

Yeah, I was like, oh my God, I'm crying. My friend I send up this is making me cry. And then she proceeded to send me a picture of Fuma mocking June drinking so much water, and I'm like I like this, thank you. He wants face like question and June.

Speaker 2: 40:55

Fuma's always got that face, little grumpy pussy, till the name change happens anyways, all right.

Speaker 1: 41:09

That's it. Yes, it was like singles slash rent and rambling.

Speaker 2: 41:14

Yeah, a little. You know well, because we always, we always have something, something to say something to talk about.

Speaker 1: 41:22

Some sort of craziness again. My ADD mind, just you know, jump from one thing to another because something is said will key another thought that I have in my head that I have to walk.

Speaker 2: 41:32

Oh no, me too, my train of thought derails constantly and you know, and even when I try to stay focused, I'm like, okay, keep goal in mind, goal in my what's that? Yeah, what's just? Oh, hey, pretty right, like what is it? Magpies? They see something sparkle or, you know, brightly colored, and they're like what's that? Yeah, they don't focus on anything.
