Intro
🦁: This week, it’s us two again
🐧: That’s right!

🐧: We went to Kanagawa again [for the arena tour]
🦁: And 🕺’s from Kanagawa
🐧: Yeah, and remember when we learned about the locations, he was super hyped
🦁: He was! “KITAAAAA KANAGAWAAAAAA!!!! YOSHAAAAA!!!!”
🐧: I also cheered when I saw Fukuoka btw

Status update
🐧: Christmas is coming~
🦁: Christmas is coming~ Have you gotten anything lately 🐧?
🐧: I think there are more illuminations on the streets and Christmas trees decked out so it gets you excited
🦁: It does right~
🐧: You feel like it’s closer now [to Christmas]

🐧: After practice one time
🦁: Yeah after we finished~
🐧: All of us had a Christmas party (🦁: party!)
🦁: Chicken!
🐧: We had chicken. We were at the studio so we had a Christmas playlist
🦁: 🕺 put the playlist together
🐧: He did! He put all the songs that I’d listen to in it. It’s a playlist of all the famous songs.

🦁: I was on a taxi with 🕺from Tokyo Station because we did some shopping around there. We saw a lot of illuminations. We got off the taxi, and I said “It’s pretty!” and – we didn’t agree to do this beforehand – both of us went, “Ohhhhh!”
🐧: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🐧: So you went, “The illumination’s pretty” and both of you went “Ohhh”?
🦁: We laughed for a long time afterwards, it’s been a while since I saw illuminations so 😂
🐧: It happens when we spend so much time together 😄 Very in synch in what we say or do sometimes.
🦁: Yeah, when we link up
🐧: Yeah!

About “Paris” by Kenya Grace
🐧: I wanna dance to it
🦁: You did a little, just now.
🐧: On its own
🦁: Ah, so your cells had a mind of its own
🐧: Yeah
BOTH: 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

🦁: Pick your favourite Christmas song!!
🐧: Yoiay yoiay yoiay~
🦁: From L-E-O (🐧: L-E-O is good!), when it’s Christmas I think of my youth, so I’m going with back number (🐧: Of course!)... It’s coming (🐧: That’s right! Our generation, this song definitely). Lots of memories with this song. When I go to their lives too, and hear their songs, you go back to that point in time.
🐧: I totally get that
🦁: Your tears just come down.

🐧: My choice.. Well, there isn’t any particular reason behind it.. A senpai sang this and I got really interested. I looked it up, and it’s by a guy called Donny Hathaway. I thought it was a really cool song and he has a voice I liked from first listen.

🦁: I picked back number’s “Christmas Song”, 🐧 picked Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas”

Junon’s challenge corner
[ 🐧 called Junon “shogun” before 🐢’s corner started lmao. I assume they shot the karuta YMB around the time they recorded this episode]

🐢 doesn’t surf (the athlete thought he looked like he surfed)
🐢: I do catch on quite quickly though
Athlete: If you do soccer you can also surf
🐢: Really?

🐢 also swims (besides soccer)
🐢 thinks he’d also be good at ball sports

Ending!
🦁: I think it’s fun!! It’s been a while since doing radio
🐧: True! Mmmmmmm…
🦁: It’s fun right? 😄
🐧: Yeahhh
🦁: Radio is good, there’s only voices

🦁: B-Y-E, B-I-E
🐧: BYE BYE!
