Translation of BE:FIRST's MILLION BILLION PODCAST, Episode 2, June 17th, 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 BE:FIRST’s LEO!
🧨: And RYOKI! AMAZON MILLION-BILLION Podcast, Chop two!
🦁: So it’s begun~ 😄
[As for 🧨 's chop two I'm sorry but idk what he was even tryna say 😂 Part 2? Chapter 2? #Martinglish]
🦁: Let’s get to our first message of this episode!
[Listener 1, Rinaanosuke-san read by 🧨: I listen to Western music as I drink coffee every morning]
🦁: Coffee~ /🧨: Stylish!
[Listener 1, Rinaanosuke-san read by 🧨 continued: What coffee do you guys like to drink? Black? I used to put so much sugar (9-10 bags) into coffee I get at the convenience store that it becomes cafè latte]
🧨: It’s true though, if you put too much sugar in black coffee it isn’t really black coffee anymore is it?
🦁: Yeah
🧨: I get the impression that 🦁 drinks black [coffee] often though
🦁: I do, yes. I recently got coffee beans from someone, so I’ve been brewing and drinking drip coffee at home. I actually asked a barista how much a coffee machine costs. It’s pretty expensive and the machine is pretty huge so they said why not make my own coffee at home and taught me how to brew it. So I’ve been doing that lately.
🧨: Wow, you thought of buying a coffee machine?
🦁: Mm
🧨: Like the ones we see in cafes right?
🦁: Because you know, if you have something like that at home, it gets you excited right?
🧨: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🦁: It’s very cool!
Here 🧨 talks about how most people start with cafè latte, then as they get used to the taste of coffee they try black coffee around high school or college.
🦁: But putting 10 bags of sugar isn’t good for your health..
🧨: Right? You might get diabetes or something
🦁: Yeah, it’s dangerous. So don’t take too much sugar, please!
🧨: Max. two right?
🦁: Yea two!
[Listener 2 read by 🦁: I recently moved to a new apartment, please give me recommendations on interior items / decors that can get me excited at my new place!]
🧨: Well, our member 🐨 is very particular about his interior…
🦁: 🤣
🧨: Whether it’s music, it’s gotta be part of the fridge, tables…
🦁: Pretty crazy 🤣 So that means when you open the fridge..
🧨: Music plays / 🦁: Music plays?
🧨: And he’s particular about lights too. Lights, fridge, music…
🦁: For me, I fill up my room with stuff I like, such as Captain America figurines, Marvel ones, DC… Plus manga and books. I think when you decorate your room with stuff you like it keeps you excited
🧨: I totally get that. I made my own wardrobe, for all my favourite clothes. Though I have one sandbag in there 😂
🦁: For training right 🤣
🧨: HAHAHAHAH! 🤣
🦁: Well it’s your hobby right?
🧨: Yeah, but it’s a sandbag right in the middle of my wardrobe, lol
🦁: I feel like it’ll start to smell of sweat…
🧨: I wash it often
🦁: Ohh ok
[answering the listener] 🦁: Maybe decorate your room with things you like!
[Listener 3, Shirokuma-san (🦁: A white bear!), read by 🧨: I’m a middle schooler BESTY. I’m in my third year and it’s currently exam period. I messed up on a recent test and got a really low score. I wonder if I’ll keep getting scores like this. What do you guys do when you feel down? Please send a message of encouragement to BESTYs too!]
🧨: It says to give a message of encouragement to BESTYs, but I think we should focus on Shirokuma-san who’s in the midst of exams right? Lmao
🦁: Right? They got a low score…
🧨: Why did they get a low score though? Did they not study enough or there was some things on the test that weren’t what they studied? Or it was just a hard test?
🦁: Well, it didn’t go well right?
🧨: What would 🦁-san do? How would 🦁 interpret this?
🦁: I don’t refer to myself as LEO, but when I was in high school, washi too (🧨: So you use “washi”? 😂) would mess up on tests. But it’s not the be all end all right. You’re working hard right now for your future, it’s not all going to waste. Don’t dwell on it, it’s going to be OK.
🧨: I got influenza the day before I was to take the entrance exam for my dream school. I had a fever and couldn’t think straight. So I couldn’t take it in the end and went to another school. Looking back on it, the school I went to is now a very treasured place to me. Of course, with exams and tests you wanna work hard on it and it’s great if you pass and get to the school you wanna go to. But there’s still a long life ahead of them, they’re only in middle school now, there’s still high school, college, and once they start working a job too. Of course, it’s exam period so it feels like this is the most important, life-changing thing right now, but life isn’t all about this, you know. So I want to tell them they can look ahead and consider other things.
🦁: Yeah, studying is important, but life is not all about that. Of course life isn’t always smooth sailing, but whatever happens there are moments where you consider what’s important and a treasured part of your life. We want to support everyone in that.
🧨: Yeah, don’t drive yourself into a corner. Live and enjoy life!
🦁: Yeah and if something happens…! [send a message to them again? IDK, LEO didn’t finish his sentence lol]
🧨: OK, so, “Don’t overthink it. Get in there calm and relaxed and do your best. Find moments of joy and you may find your perspective broadening!”
🦁: We’re confident that we’ll love you no matter what so do your best! 😊
🧨: Do your best!
[Listener 4, Koji-san, read by 🦁: Do the members check out each other’s solo gigs?]
🦁: They do!
🧨: Everyone’s schedule is shared, so we’ll all check to see if [their free] times match up.. And you guys watched..
🦁: Yeah, we watched Ryoki’s variety appearance, and my red carpet members watched that too.
🦁: Surprisingly, everyone watches! I’ll get messages later saying they watched it 😄
🧨: Yeah, it makes us happy.
🧨: It’s great that we can do work related to our hobbies and we get work that shows off our personalities too. It’s like, “do what you like”
🦁: BE:FIRST’s full of possibilities right?
🧨: Do you have anything else you want to do?
🦁: I was really happy when 🧨complimented me on my acting for a MV 😊
🧨: Hahaha!!!
🦁: And I like writing essays! 😊
🧨: I did compliment you a lot didn’t I?
🦁: You sent a long message!
🧨: Hahahahahaah! Surprised you right?
🦁: I was going, “OOOooo!!”, I was really happy! 😊
🧨: I thought it was really good so I wanted to convey that.
🦁: I want people to see that~
🧨: The little acting before the MV starts was also really interesting. I think it’s a waste just leaving it there. Please release some of the drama before the MV starts 🙏
🦁: It turned out pretty good didn’t it?
🧨: It did It did!
🦁: I was really happy you complimented me for it 😊
🦁: What about 🧨, you’ve got acting gigs…
🧨: I want to get into Hollywood
🦁: [happy sigh] Amerika~
🧨: America. Hollywood.
🦁: 🧨 can speak English. I feel like you can get there the easiest [out of the seven of them].
🧨: Going to the world as a group and as an actor are two very different approaches. No matter which way we get to the world first, I want to create an environment where it’s easy for us and for me, that’s always been my goal for a few years now.
🦁: You slept on the bus didn’t you?
🧨: Yeah we did, one person one [bed / bus????]
🦁: Ehhhh, I wanna goo
🧨, 🦁: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🧨: I - I might need to talk to my manager
🦁: I can take a trip to the place where you’re shooting it, then when I get sleepy I sleep on your bed. Then I continue my trip after.
🧨: So it’s a hotel 😂
🦁: Just like for an afternoon nap? I’ll still go to a proper hotel
🧨: I see, but you’re still going to be in the way 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🦁: 15 minutes is not enough! 😤 We should do 24 hours!
🧨: 24 hours of MILLI BILLI Podcast?
🦁: Impossible? 🥺 Probably right, you can’t go to the toilet either.
🧨: We can still go, when music is playing
🧨, 🦁: 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🦁: I want to do it more often, it’s been a while since we got listener messages…
🧨: We did that a lot during SPARK, that was fun. I’m glad we can continue this here.
Hope you enjoyed!
