Hey, guys.

I mean, Akihabara right now, actually.

Gonna go get an air conditioner for my new place because I don't have one in there yet, but my entire morning has been crazy.

All right.

I guess I should introduce.

This is Clement on Clemens.

Company owns the DOT Asia domain on today.

We're doing an interview.

About what?

About you.

About me.

Clinton asked me to bring up the Chevy thing, which is why I've got that.

Yes.

Guys, we're walking Bridge, Come in.

And I are heading out to a sound studio.

Right here is like, this big true Tokyo hotels can be really breaking up.

Our whole studio rental is gonna come to, like, 14.

There's how room That's what, 14 bucks for an hour against you, And it would have been seven bucks.

It was just be a swell.

I just noticed your hat.

Oh, is that a Toronto Teoh?

First things first, though.

I've actually got to get the shamisen set up because now that I have a new one, it's it's in pieces.

Let me show you.

Show me.

The more I do it faster on yet beginning takes a walk Be really careful of these parts here because if any part of this chips air brakes, shamisen is stuck.

So yeah, the big benefit breaking down is it's super portable.

The Theo downside is obviously takes a lot of work together, and then it doesn't It doesn't stay into okay, And it works were good.

Not everyone's used to be dropping.

What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna share a little sample of the interview today.

Clement sing of the full interview is gonna come out in July.

So a link it down below and I'll let you guys all know when it comes out.

But we're about to get started.

Why did you Why did you want to live in Japan is like the most commonly asked question that I get after over a decade of being here.

And I never really have like, a standard answer that appeases anyone.

My grandfather was a guitarist, and so I think I got my first guitar when I was, like, seven or something like that.

But after moving to Japan, I kind of just put down the instruments until I picked up shamisen and totally thought that picking this up since I could play guitar was like, It's a string instrument.

It's gonna be all right.

I got a pack up, the semi thin.

Now the shamisen is just kind of held together by these joints here.

And each one of these has a corresponding wooden block.

Line it up, slide it in and lock.

Each bank has its own little space right there within the case.

There we go That our just flew by up.

I didn't know how much work it takes to put away and start the show.

Understand this crazy?

Yeah.

A lot of people ask like, you know, I want to get a show me saying Where should I start?

I tell a lot of people like Don't because it takes that much effort.

There is the shamisen that I recommend.

If you want to know, let me know in the comments.

I'll let you know which one it is.

But for the most part, Chevy Thin Care is just as difficult is actual Chevys and play.

Thank you again for your time.

No worries can catch up some time.

Yeah, so he's off to see she's a connects now to go get an air conditioner is my still doesn't have American.

All I know is I want an eco friendly one on.

There's a bunch of other stuff.

It's boring stuff.

I've gotta go home and do a little more practice because I have a shamisen performance in, like, two days.

So let's get out of here.

Japan, especially Tokyo, really has a problem with people running red lights taxis more than anyone.

Very dangerous.

Just just watch out for taxis.

Just a little change of plans.

Just got a phone call that I think is gonna make all of us pretty happy.

So we're gonna head to a Kasatka for just a little bit.

Thing is insanely long.

Very there is a A Have you ever been to this?

It's It's actually insanely photogenic on.

And there's a set of total Gate, just like Fushimi unity.

That goes really key.

A strike My buddy Lucas took me and my little brother Alexander there to teach Alexander photography.

I had never been there before.

I got really good smoothies, but e I don't know Guys should tell her that I just had sushi wait.

Like like vegetable powder in that sounds wonderful by the way.

If you're like one of the six people watching this, who has no idea who Charlotte is?

E.

I like Channel appears, So check it out.

She's finally back in Japan on doing exciting projects, like getting a phone call.

Painful thing ever.

You've never gone to folk context so bad, and it just takes hours, and I'm probably gonna abandon Charlotte part way through way while Charlotte is using the team.

I just wanted to take two seconds and say, I'm really actually glad that I got to share this with you guys today.

There's a lot of you guys have been asking for me to share more of the shamisen side of things, and it's kind of my first States like, share me going out with the new Chevys and soul.

I hope that you guys enjoy this and Charlotte back Little league right now.

You got all your money, My money also, I kind of wanted to show you guys how the show me send when it comes apart, goes back together.

So that's a thing.

But that being said, I think I'm just gonna spend a little bit is on with Charlotte because it's been a long time since she's been in Japan.

And we've been able to hang out on E on that yet.

Charlison right over here on, uh, so yet I will see you guys again real soon.
