bmsgTranslation of BE:FIRST's MILLION BILLION PODCAST, Episode 4, July 1st, 2023
Other than BE:FIRST's main MILLION BILLION radio show on J-WAVE every Saturday, they also started the MILLION-BILLION podcast back in June, 2023. In the MILLI-BILLI PODCAST, members answer listener questions, messages, give advice, and / or have discussions around the messages listeners send in. The atmosphere is more relaxed, so I've started listening to them!
All podcast episodes are available on MILLION-BILLION's AMAZON Music page, so feel free to follow along as you listen to the audio. I will have each episode's podcast linked under the cut!
Enjoy!

🐬: It’s SOTA from BE:FIRST
🦁: And LEO~
🦁: It’s #4 today!
🐬: We talked about summer in the official (MILLI-BILLI) too. Summer!
🦁: We did! Summer festivals!
🐬: If it’s summer festivals then Tanabata..?
🦁: Yeah, we brought up a lot of things, but in general it was that summer festivals are great right?
🐬: Wait, summer festivals (natsu matsuri) and Tanabata are different? There’s Tanabata matsuri?
🦁: I think summer festivals encompasses quite a lot of festivals?
🐬: I know! Things like the taiko and bonodori are natsu matsuri right?
🦁: That’s true. We were talking about summer festivals and food (in the official MILLI BILLI). You have any stories?
🐬: Like I mentioned in the opening I did a lot of dance performances, in parks and stuff. So after we performed, if some of us have a competition then they’ll head back to the studio to practice and the others will enjoy the natsu matsuri
🦁: Oh~ I see~
🐬: But we were training and practicing pretty much. Our coach will call for us to head back to the studio and we’ll all cycle back the studio and practice
🦁: So Sota’s life was dance pretty much
🐬: During Tanabata season (July) we would usually be able to go [to natsu matsuri], once it gets to August it’s competition season, so we’re pretty much training and practicing
🦁: So Sota’s impression of natsu matsuri is Tanabata
🐬: Yeah, natsu matsuri where we perform and then go back to the studio…
🦁: I feel like the impression of natsu matsuri varies depending on who you talk to…
🐬: Yeah, and once I could start drinking I actually didn’t go at all
🦁: Wait, me too, but when you turned 20 and well, I was a little over 20 already.. There was COVID so a lot of what was normal was not normal anymore… Let’s go to a natsu matsuri together, the seven of us. I also want to see fireworks
🐬: The seven of us watching fireworks wwww
🦁: I think it’ll be emoi!
🐬: I think natsu matsuri would be fun going with Bifa members
🦁: It will!
🦁: And when you’re at natsu matsuri you want to eat right? And if you see a booth with a long queue it makes you want to eat it..
🐬: Uwaaahhh, yes!
They start talking about grilled cucumber and 🦁 has also tried grilled eggplant and 🐬 started getting hungry
🐬 started talking about candies with a hole in the middle that you can use to whistle with but 🦁 had no idea what he was talking about 😂 Souchin went to get manager-san’s phone to show 🦁 a picture
[Listener message 1 has trouble falling asleep and asks if 🐬, 🦁 falls asleep easily or have a routine before they sleep]
🦁 says both him and Souchin fall asleep easily
🦁 says him, 🐬 and 🫧 share a dorm room during zast. 🦁 slept in the middle, 🫧 was on his left, 🐬 was on his right. 🦁 will talk to Souchin and then talk to 🫧, and try to talk to 🐬again but Souchin would already be asleep (🦁: It wasn’t even a minute!)
And if 🐬 really can’t fall asleep, 🦁 says Souchin has an English vocabulary chain he says to help him fall asleep LMAO
Souchin says he can fall asleep pretty much at any time, anywhere (he gave the example of 5-6pm, or if he’s on his bed or in the shower), but if he’s not super tired then he can’t sleep. When that happens he’ll start visualising himself writing English words, for example, “SPEAK”
🐬: What starts with k… “KEEP”
Souchin emphasizes that he “writes” it in his head, slowly, and usually by the sixth word he falls asleep
🦁: That’s amazing!
🐬: I’ve never gone to the tenth word
Souchin says when he can’t think of a word (that starts with “n” for example), he’ll keep thinking and thinking (“What is there” x10), sometimes writing it out a few times, and by the time he realises he’s sleeping (he doesn’t get anxious if he can’t think of a word)
If he can’t think of a word, then he doesn’t write it.
🦁 says Souchin asked him, “LEO S S S!” once and he had no idea what Souchin was referring to
🦁: Sorry, I couldn’t think of one 😂
🐬: I was getting antsy at the time 😂
🐬 : The key is to not get anxious!
[Listener 2 is from the person who suggested making “Leonidas Kataridasu” into Leo’s corner on Spark and they’re now suggesting Souchin should have his own corner too]
Souchin doesn’t have any ideas on his own corner though lmao
🦁: No idea? OK, let’s move on to the next message…
🦁, 🐬: wwwwwww
🦁: Joking, joking ww
🐬: What would it be?
🦁: I think 🐨, 🧨, and 🐬 can do something related to food. Like introducing the food you had recently or something
🐬: Ohhh, sounds good!
🦁: You like food too
🐬: True… I want to do something like encouraging / cheering for teens corner, or like giving them advice. I am confident that I was a teen that suffered the most
🦁: So it’s going to be limited to teens?
🐬: Mm, well we don’t know yet right? But even if we say like, something to encourage them before they’re 20 would be cool
🦁: And usually what we get from when we were teeangers stay with us!
🐬: Yeahhhhh, for life!
🐬: I will remember us having brown rice instead of white rice for the rest of my life
🦁: What’s this about?
🐬: On my birthday, my grandma prepared steak and I wanted to have it with white rice, but it was brown rice
🦁: That’s good isn’t it? It’s healthy~
🦁: I remember my mum telling me “Home is inside, house is the outside” (家は内、外は装 “uchi wa uchi, “sota wa yoso”)
🐬: And then “If you don’t like it get out” or something right www
🦁: I think she’s said to everyone, and I agree with her
🐬: So I want to cheer teens on
🦁: In the last podcast, there was a message where the person they like is sitting next to them in class
🐬: Ehhh, yabai!
Souchin wants to make his corner: Cheering for teens; cheering on people chasing their dreams
[Listener 3 is in their third year of junior high (Grade 9) and used to do gymnastics. They stopped for a year and encountered BE:FIRST’s music. Now that they’re better, they want to perform a BE:FIRST song. Something Leo said in his MC resonated with them. They had a blank period but has been able to return to the sport because of BE:FIRST and wanted to express their thanks to them no matter what]
Souchin and Leo were really happy this was from a teen.
🦁 thinks them and their music may have inspired them, but he wants the listener to also pat themselves on the back for doing their best and not giving up
🐬 thinks listener 3 wanting to do this again is great
Hope you enjoyed!
