Wow!

Hello and welcome to the Abroad Japan Podcast, probably the best way of learning about life in Japan that actually being in Japan.

I'm your host Chris Broad and we're joined as always by top London radio DJ and certified Japaner file Mr. Pete Donaldson Pete. How you doing?

I'm in a box Chris, there's not two words about it. I'm in a box. I didn't want to mention it but now the video, right, the audio started, I'm a little bit scared. I'm in a box.

What is this box?

A box that isolates me from the rest of my building because my building is very loud and quite wooden so there's a lot of reflections, sound reflections and so I thought I'll get myself a little vocal booth.

And now a minute, I feel like probably how dead mouse feels when he's DJing.

What's led you to do this all of a sudden?

Rampant professionalism Chris, rampant professionalism and the fact that there was an advert for this vocal booth, advertised by the singer songwriter Seal.

And who doesn't want to be Seal? He goes out with like supermodels and that. Who doesn't want to be Seal?

He does. He does.

And is it a good purchase? Has it actually worked? Well, well, find out, won't we? I'll probably sound like I'm in a multi million pound studio where as you will sound like you're in a kitchen.

But I am also a kitchen in Sendai. But also I am in a kitchen.

Brilliant.

Pretty exciting.

Well, I've had a good week. I've just finished my coffee and I've had a video come out for the first time in a while.

People have been complaining there's been no videos. I don't really know why that's been. I don't know why there's been no videos.

I think I've just dropped the ball for a bit because I was off seeing Netsky as we heard in last week's podcast.

Yeah.

There's new videos come out. Have you watched it? I have watched it.

That Riyotaro's friend is Riyotaro's school friend was that?

It's very charismatic.
