[TABI] Traveling with Snow Man.

[Ren] It's moving.

I see someone waving.

Good morning.

Watanabe.

Together again today.

What?

Are you okay? Tired?

-I'm not tired. -[chuckles]

-We're in a tunnel now. -[exclaims]

Cool.

Cool. This is exciting.

[♪ enthralling music playing]

[Shota] Awesome. This is cool.

Pretty.

It's beautiful.

[Ren] Cool. We're going over a bridge.

-[Shota exclaims] -[train horn blows]

-[Ren] I've never done this before. -[Shota] This is refreshing.

This might be what I needed.

[exclaims]

We should go over here.

[Shota] It's on this side now.

-[staff] Thank you for riding. -[Ren] Thanks.

-[staff] We'd like to take a photo. -[Ren] All right.

-[staff] Thank you. -[Ren] Go ahead.

-[staff] Ready? -Go ahead.

[staff] One more. Pose. Checking.

-Thank you. -No, thank you.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

[staff] We'll bring it to you.

-Thank you. -Yes, thank you.

-They're waving. -[Ren] Yeah, they are.

-[Shota] Nice. -Yeah.

[staff] Excuse me.

Your photo is ready.

Thank you.

-[staff] Have a look. -Thank you.

-[staff] If you're happy with it... -[both laughing]

Awesome.

[staff] It captured the Hozu River boat too.

-[Shota] You're right. Cool. -[Ren] It did. Awesome.

-[Shota] Good photo. -[Ren] Good timing.

[staff] You can purchase it for 1,500 yen only while you are in the train.

-[Shota exclaims] -So, Watanabe...

-Well... I'll pay, then. -[Ren laughing]

-Yes, please. Thank you. -Thank you.

-[Shota] Nice. -[Ren] This is good.

[Shota] TABI...

-TABI is out of service. -[Ren] True.

Looking at this photo closely makes me feel like crying.

[Ren chuckling] How come?

Does it resonate with you?

It's pretty emotional.

It'll make you cry. Watch out.

-[Ren] Seeing ourselves back then? -[Shota] Yeah.

[conductor] Thank you for riding

with Sagano Romantic Train.

We are arriving at our final stop.

[♪ pleasant music playing]

[Shota] Doesn't the breeze feel better here?

[Ren] Yeah. Very nice.

-It's the smell. -[Shota] I get you.

-[Ren] You know? -[Shota] The air feels light.

[Ren] And this...

-The scent of the greenery. -[Shota] Yeah.

-[Ren] It's nice. -[Shota] This feels really good.

[Ren] Being with Shoppi made me feel comfortable.

KAMEOKA STATION

So I think I was able to get into a space for just us two.

Lately, I haven't really had

a chance to hang out one-on-one

with another member.

And the trolley

was a really lovely one, the type you don't get to ride often.

And we got to start our trip by soaking in the natural scenery.

So it was a lot of fun.

Awesome. Look.

-[Shota] Suddenly the speed... -[Ren] For real?

We're going here?

[both exclaiming]

-This is exciting. -[exclaims]

-Awesome! -Cool! [chuckles]

-Isn't it awesome he can control it? -Cool.

This feels good.

The sounds are nice too.

-[Ren] Yeah. The sound of water. -[Shota] The water sounds.

[Ren] It's nice. It's soothing.

It really is soothing.

This isn't the kind of sound

-you can hear in Tokyo. -Exactly.

I know maybe we shouldn't be the ones to say this,

but we don't always have enough time in the day, right?

It's a good thing for us.

But just for today,

let's not worry about time at all.

[Ren] You're right.

-I want to just enjoy a leisurely time. -[Shota] Leisurely.

This is really cool.

Why doesn't it bump into rocks?

-I steer around them. -[Ren] Wow.

-That's amazing. -[Shota] So it's all...

-I'm steering from behind. -[Ren] I'm impressed.

-[boatman] Thank you. -Everyone's appropriate use of force...

-Look, look! -[Ren exclaims]

[boatman] It's a white heron.

-A white heron? Pretty. -[Ren] A white heron.

Look. What's that?

-[Shota] What? [exclaims] -[boatman] That's a cormorant.

[Shota and Ren] A cormorant.

-[Ren] Black. -[Shota] I saw its face.

-Come up! -[Ren] It's swimming.

[boatman] It's chasing a fish.

[Shota] I saw it for a second.

We're entering the rapids.

[Ren and Shota exclaim]

-[Shota] This feels good too. -[Ren] Amazing.

-[boatman] All right. -Awesome.

[both exclaiming]

-[boatman] All right. -[Ren and Shota laughing]

-[Ren] Cool. -[Shota] This is the best.

Very nice.

[boatman] Next up,

we'll pass by the Koayu Waterfall.

-It has a drop of about 20 meters... -[Shota gasps]

Sorry, two meters.

-That was a huge lie. -[boatman laughs]

I really believed it was 20 meters.

That's a lot.

-We'll believe anything. -[boatman] Right.

-Yes. -[boatman] Twenty meters is too much.

-[Shota] Awesome. -[Ren] Is that it?

-This is crazy. -[boatman chuckles]

-So exciting. -Awesome.

This is awesome!

-[boatman] Here we go. -Awesome!

[Ren and Shota exclaiming]

[boatman] Here we go!

-Cool! -Awesome!

-Amazing. -So cool.

This is fun.

It is fun.

There are slow, relaxing places, and there are thrilling places too.

[Shota] I get you.

[Ren] Both are fun.

-[boatman] Boating down Hozu River... -[Ren] Yes.

[boatman] Out of all river cruises in Japan,

this has the longest history.

-It does? -How many years?

Since Keicho 11.

-[Shota] Keicho? -Keicho. [chuckles]

-How long ago is that? -[boatman] Over 400 years ago.

-[both exclaim] -It's 1606.

-So... -Really?

[boatman] Yes, really.

-You lied before. -True.

I don't know what's real anymore.

-[boatman] I think that'd be the Edo era. -[Shota] Edo?

-Since the Edo era. -[boatman] Yes.

Long rapids coming up.

[Ren] Awesome. Here we go.

[Shota exclaims]

Wow!

-Awesome. -[Ren chuckles]

Cool.

[Ren] Awesome.

[♪ pleasant music playing]

-[Shota] Look at that majestic heron. -[Ren] A bridge?

It's flying.

[Shota] I wish I could be a heron.

[Ren] They said Meme.

-[woman] No way! -[Shota chuckles]

-They said, "Is that Meme?" -Wow.

[people exclaiming]

[Ren] Bye-bye.

[Shota] Awesome.

Kyoto is totally the right choice.

Yeah. Why Kyoto, though?

Did you say something?

I was just curious about Kyoto.

I had the impression time moves slower here.

[Ren] So it was your idea, Shoppi.

Thanks.

-[Shota] Thank you. -[boatman] Thank you.

[Shota] It was a valuable experience.

-[Ren] I'm glad. -[Shota] It was great.

[TABI] I would like to see you two in kimonos.

-Excuse me. -Excuse me.

[man] You look good.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Thank you for choosing kimonos for us.

Yes, of course.

[Ren] What do you do here?

[man] We specialize in Nishijin-ori.

HATTORI ORIMONO

Does this say it was founded in... Ten...

-[man] Yes, Tenmei Eight. -Tenmei Eight?

That's 1788 in the Western calendar.

[Shota exclaims]

-We mainly make obi. -Obi.

So the obi you're wearing now were made by us.

They are?

This is so pretty.

-[man] We handweaved this. -[Shota] By hand?

-[man] Yes, by hand. -[Shota] I see.

[man] Handweaving is less common in Nishijin these days.

-So it's by hand. -[man] Yes.

-[Shota] They make these by hand. -[man] By hand.

If you take a look at the back,

you'll see how many different shades of green are used.

[Ren] That's so cool.

[TABI] Now it's time for us to watch

the creation process.

Okay, go ahead.

Sorry. TABI is being unreasonable.

-[man laughs] -True. Sorry.

-Sorry. -His request, so please.

[machines whirring]

[Ren] Excuse me.

-Cool. -This is the machine...

-[Ren exclaims] -...for handweaving. The handloom.

Wow, it's so elaborate!

[man] It's made of wood.

They don't make wooden looms anymore,

so we're still using an older one.

So this form itself is really valuable.

-Yes. It's very old. -Yeah.

[Shota] Hello.

Wow!

[exclaims]

Interesting!

[man] Like this.

Amazing.

-We use something called hikibaku... -[Ren] Yes.

[man] ...and tie it

with the weft.

-It goes in here? -Yes.

[Ren] This is amazing.

[man] It's a long process, so it takes a lot of patience.

[Ren] So all of these individual threads...

-Are layered together. -[man] Yes.

-[Ren] To make this obi. -[man] Yes.

[Shota exclaims]

I forgot him.

TABI was there the whole time?

We forgot him.

-In the middle, between the obi. -[TABI] You forgot me.

[Shota] He's mad at us.

-"You forgot me." -[Shota] "You forgot me."

The obi is impressive, of course, but...

-Some people have done this for 50 years. -[Shota] Fifty years?

Being able to meet the weavers

might be the best part.

Those women gave me so much energy and power.

-Made me straighten up. -Yes. Thank you.

-No, thank you. -Thank you.

-[TABI] Let's go get food. -[Shota] Okay.

[TABI] The perfect summer food in Kyoto is pike conger.

-It's very good right now. -Pike conger?

-Pike conger is good. -[TABI] How about a pike conger dish?

-Pike conger. -Awesome.

-[Shota] Thank you. Excuse us. -[Ren] Thank you.

I've never gotten to enjoy Kyoto like this.

[Ren] I'd like some warabimochi too.

[Shota] Yeah, some Japanese sweets.

And the classic.

-The Kyoto thing. -You know...

A wooden... Wooden sword.

A wooden sword.

From field trips.

The classic field trip souvenir.

-Did you do that? -I bought a wooden sword.

I remember people doing that.

What's up with that? [chuckles]

-I got both a long one and a short one. -[Shota chuckles]

A wooden sword in Kyoto is nice for sure.

"Watanabe buys a wooden sword."

Nice. I'd like to do that.

-And swing it in this kimono. -Good idea. [laughs]

Do some swings every morning.

-Film myself doing that. -Nice.

[Ren] Where was your field trip?

-[Shota] To Kyoto. -[Ren] Kyoto, I see.

-And Kinkaku-ji, Ginkaku-ji... -You went?

-I did. -You've been?

We had to choose among several places.

So I couldn't go to Kinkaku-ji.

[Shota] There were so many choices, and you chose a wooden sword.

I decided even before leaving.

-To buy a sword? [laughs] -I'll get a sword.

It was a must.

That's really like you, Meme.

It was a must.

-Something is happening. -[driver] We're here.

[Ren and Shota exclaim]

Wow, this is exciting.

Isn't this awesome?

It feels so traditional.

[TABI] This is Shimogamosaryo.

-It was founded in 1856. -[Shota] 1856.

[Ren] Awesome.

The driver said it's a well-established place.

Let's go in.

SHIMOGAMOSARYO KAISEKI

-Welcome. -Wow.

-[Shota] Thank you. -Welcome.

-[Shota] Thank you. Wow. -[Ren] It's so fancy.

[Shota] The folding screens.

-[staff] Right this way. -[Shota] Excuse me.

[staff] Here you go.

[Ren] Isn't this a really high-end place?

[chef] Excuse me. Welcome.

-[Ren] Thank you. -On this hot day.

[Ren] The pleasure is ours.

It is indeed hot today.

-We've created for you... -[Shota] Yes.

...a menu centered around pike conger to showcase Kyoto cuisine.

And there is also uncooked pike conger waiting for you, so if you'd like...

-Can I see? -Yes.

-I want to see that. -Thank you.

Thank you.

-Wow. Huge. -This is a pike conger.

[Ren] Wow!

-I know they have many bones. -[chef] They do.

Cutting pike conger bones is where chefs can show off their skills.

-[Ren] Is that so? -Yes.

When cutting bones, you must not cut the meat through.

-Right. -Keep it connected.

-Or they'll break. -Hard.

-That's a pro technique. -So professional.

-[Ren] Listen. That sound. -[Shota] Awesome.

-[Ren] The bones being cut. -[Shota] Yeah.

[Ren] Awesome.

How does he do it so fast? That speed and rhythm.

-Awesome. -Amazing.

[chef] Here.

-[Shota] That's art. -[both clapping]

Would you like to try it?

-I can? Awesome. -[chef chuckles]

-I'm interested. -Go for it, Meme.

Can I watch from above? How thin do you slice it?

[♪ captivating music playing]

[Ren exclaims]

It's rare you get to watch from this angle.

It's rare I get watched from this angle too.

-I imagine. -[chef chuckles]

[Ren] I'll try.

[chef] One millimeter at a time.

-Go for one millimeter. -[Shota] One.

Show me one, Meguro.

-Watch your hands. -Okay.

-[Shota] Go. -A Meguro millimeter.

[Shota] It's crackling.

[Ren] Should I go further?

[Shota] It went enough.

-[chef] Good sound. -[Shota] Yeah, I hear the bones.

You're not cutting the skin, right?

-[chef chuckles] -Is it okay? I hope so.

[Shota exclaims]

Should I go back to Tokyo while you're cutting the bones?

-This will never end. -[chef chuckles]

You're gonna be cutting forever.

-[exclaims] -[chef] That looks good.

I pulled it just now.

It's not cut through. It's all connected.

-Amazing. -Impressive for your first try.

Today, not only seeing craftsmen at work

but also seeing them spending a long time making one thing,

seeing how careful they are,

made me realize there's human emotion in that care they put in.

I don't want to let that go.

It made me want to take care in creating

every single piece of work

no matter how busy we get.

[Shota] Shall we say cheers?

[Ren laughing]

[TABI] May I ask a few questions?

How long have you two been friends?

[laughs]

Since before joining Snow Man.

When we were in different groups.

-But we performed at the same events. -Right.

-And when we stayed at a hotel... -[Ren] Yeah.

-[Shota] We had separate rooms. -Yeah.

-But he came over. -[Ren] Yeah.

Pretty often.

-I remember one image. -[Shota] Yeah.

Shoppi in bed in a bathrobe,

and the futon up to about here,

had this backrest.

The TV was in the center, and Shoppi was watching.

-[Shota chuckles] -[Ren] And I...

-You know the table and chairs at the end? -[Shota] Yes.

I was sitting there.

That brings me back.

[TABI] Do you still go out to eat often?

-A while ago. -He used to come over...

-[Shota] Yeah. -...to hang out.

We do it every so often, but it's been a while.

-New Year's too. -[Ren] Yeah.

-Once our livestream was over... -Right.

...I went to Meme's house.

-New Year's meal. -[Ren] Yeah.

-We got seafood delivered. -[Ren] Lots of seafood.

-On the first day. -Yeah.

-Several years ago... -Mount Fuji.

-Mount Fuji, yes. -We went to Mount Fuji.

-[Shota] We went on drives too. -Yeah.

[staff] Excuse me.

-Thank you for waiting. -Here!

-It's here. -Yes.

-Here is your soup. -[Shota] I've been looking forward.

Thank you.

[staff] It has pike conger and matsutake mushrooms.

[Shota] So luxurious.

[Ren] Let's eat.

[Shota sighs contentedly]

I can't believe it.

That hits the spot.

This is tasty.

[Shota] I'll start with the conger.

Here I go.

[♪ mellow music playing]

[Shota exclaims]

Try this. It's so fluffy.

[Ren slurping]

This is great.

[Ren] How is it so good?

-It's creamier than I expected. -[Shota] For sure.

It's fluffy and springy with a little creaminess.

So good.

This'll be gone right away.

This is too delicious.

-Please get across. -[Shota] Yeah.

It's already gone. This is the last pike conger.

I'll pamper myself today.

It's good.

[Shota exclaims]

-[staff] This is... -Yes.

[staff] The piece Mr. Meguro prepared earlier.

[laughs]

Let's taste.

It's good.

Yum.

It's gonna be gone right away again.

This is hari-hari nabe made with pike conger and matsutake mushrooms.

HARI-HARI NABE

[Shota] That looks good.

It already tastes good.

[Ren] The scent is amazing.

-[staff] I'll portion it out for you. -[Shota] Thank you.

[staff] Thank you for waiting.

-[chef] How is it? -This is shocking.

-Lastly, this is the hot pot. -[Shota] This is it.

With pike conger and mushrooms.

You started with the broth. I'll go for the conger.

Yum.

The variety of ingredients makes it savory.

Good soup.

[chef] And tofu skin for a Kyoto flavor.

Totally different taste.

[chef] And Kyoto scallions.

[Shota] What bliss.

[Ren] This is amazing.

-Can I go for it? -[Ren] Yeah. Do this.

I'm going for it.

Let's go.

[♪ captivating music playing]

[staff] Finally, here is the rice dish.

[Shota] Awesome.

-We get rice too? -[staff] Yes.

We've prepared it with corn, edamame,

-and beltfish. -[Ren] Beltfish.

[Shota] So pretty.

[♪ pleasant music playing]

Yeah.

-Isn't it mellow? -Mmm.

Isn't this great?

-I won't be able to forget this in Tokyo. -[Shota] Yeah.

[TABI] Are your stomachs full?

[Shota] Almost.

You want us to go somewhere else, don't you, TABI?

We have more to eat, TABI.

[TABI] Let's go on a walk when you're done eating.

-[Shota] Yeah. -Let's.

-Let's go. -[Shota] Let's go.

-[Ren] Thank you. -[Shota] Can we leave TABI?

-[TABI] Please take me with you. -[Shota chuckles]

-[Ren] Well... -[Shota] I'm full now.

Shall we walk?

Wanna take a walk?

This is the best!

-That was so good. -It was great.

-Nice. -Awesome.

[Ren] A river.

-[Shota] Look. -[Ren] What?

-[Shota] In front of you. -[Ren] The big "dai"?

-[Shota] You can see the "dai" there. -[Ren] You're right.

-[Shota] Right there. -[Ren] Amazing.

[Shota] This is so nice.

[Ren] Places like this are nice.

-Walking by the river. -[Shota] Awesome.

-So peaceful. -[Ren] Yeah.

[Shota] Wonderful.

-This feels good. -It really does.

Let him pass.

A boy.

Hello.

[Ren chuckles] Cute.

-This is great. -[Shota] Nice.

We don't often walk like this.

[Shota sighs peacefully]

It's really nice.

[Ren] I wish I could walk this path every day.

[Shota] Yeah. It would feel so nice to walk here every day.

This feels so out of the ordinary.

Is something there?

I hear splashing.

[Ren] There are dragonflies.

Wanna go further?

[Shota] Let's keep going.

There's a bench there.

Let's sit down.

[Ren] It's made of stone.

[Shota] Let's get some sun.

[Shota sighs]

[Ren] This is the best.

[Shota] This is great.

I can't believe it.

We never have time like this. For real.

Hello.

-Hello. -Hello.

-[Ren] Naturally. -[Shota chuckles]

-Us two without a camera nearby. -[Ren] Right.

She was hesitant.

[Ren] It looks like we're just hanging out.

[Shota laughs]

It's hard to find words, for better or for worse.

If you can't find words, you don't have to.

But the comfort of this place...

-We don't have time like this often. -Exactly.

[Ren] We should enjoy times like this when we have the chance.

[Shota] For sure.

[Ren] The atmosphere is so nice.

[Shota] It really is.

And the sun

-is gradually setting. -[Ren] Setting.

-[staff] Thank you for waiting. -[Shota] Thank you. What is this?

[staff] These are iced coffee and our special matcha terrines.

-[Ren] Terrines? -[staff] Yes.

A mixture of matcha and white chocolate.

-[Ren] Thank you. -[staff] Yes, of course.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

[sighs contentedly]

It has gold leaf.

You're right.

Terrines.

[Ren] Yeah.

-Yum. -The matcha is so rich.

Too luxurious.

[Ren] Do we really deserve this?

[Shota] Apparently, Koji was having a back-and-forth with TABI.

I bet.

Knowing Koji, he can't sit still for long.

-[Shota laughs] -He's a comedian.

You know...

This is really nice.

[♪ pleasant music playing]

[Ren] My wish for Snow Man

is that each one of us can lead

an enjoyable life of his own.

Also,

however our relationships may change,

whatever paths we go down, however old we get,

wherever we may be, I want us to have a good relationship

and to enjoy each of our individual lives.

That's what I want for Snow Man.

[TABI] Now let's go see the best evening view in Kyoto.

-[Shota] Let's go. -[Ren] Amazing.

[Shota exclaims]

Coming through.

-Awesome. -[Ren] That's awesome.

So cool.

So pure!

-Pure. -Pure!

[Ren] Pure?

Awesome.

Excuse us.

-Coming through. -[priest] Hello.

Thank you for visiting on a hot day such as this.

[Ren] The pleasure is ours.

I am Mori of Kiyomizu-dera Temple.

-I'm Ren Meguro from Snow Man. -I'm Watanabe.

-Nice to meet you. -Thank you.

[priest] Thank you.

-Now, allow me to lead you in. -[Ren] Thanks.

[priest] Go ahead.

-[Shota] This is a rare opportunity. -[Ren] Cool.

I haven't been here since the field trip.

-Me neither. -Really?

-So... -[priest] Oh my.

-Over 15 years. -[priest] Is that so?

Maybe we were still under construction then?

-Perhaps. -Was it?

-It was under construction. -Yes, right.

I'd like to show you first

-to the west gate. -[Shota] Okay.

-[Ren] Thank you. -[priest] Yes.

-This way. -[Ren] Thank you.

[Shota] Wait, this is awesome.

-Yeah. -[Ren] Cool.

[priest] The sun is just about to set right now.

Go on in.

-[Ren] This is amazing. -[Shota] So impressive.

-[priest] Yes. -[Ren] Can we go in?

[priest] Yes, go ahead.

-[Shota] May I? Thank you. Excuse me. -[Ren] Thank you.

[priest] Yes.

-[Shota] Cool! -[Ren] Wow.

It's going down.

[priest] This is called the west gate.

-It's facing west. -[Ren] Yes.

[priest] This view you're seeing here...

In Buddhism, it's said that Amitabha's Pure Land lies to the west

beyond the setting sun.

-It's starting to set now. -Oh no.

-Don't. -It's going away!

-Wow! -[priest chuckles] Yes.

It's just about to disappear.

At the moment it goes below the horizon,

the edge of the mountain turns red.

-[both] Okay. -[priest] Yes.

It makes it appear as if there's a red glowing world

-beyond the mountain. -[Ren] It does.

[priest] So it's said that's where the Pure Land is,

where people go after they die.

So people came to this gate to pray.

Really, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness

a scene like this.

[Ren] And the beautiful Kyoto skyline is right in front of it.

[chuckling] This is amazing.

Thank you for showing us.

-[priest] Of course. -[priest] It's wonderful.

-So valuable. -[priest] Of course.

You're rewarded for your daily effort with the timing to see this sunset.

[Shota] It's like nature is celebrating Snow Man's fifth anniversary.

[Ren] You're right.

-[Shota] Wow, this is... -[Ren] I'm glad we came to Kyoto.

[Shota] Me too.

[♪ mellow music playing]

This reminds me how many places I have yet to see in the world.

I want to lead a life that allows me to see many things.

For sure.

[Ren exclaiming]

-Amazing. -Yeah.

It's beautiful.

IMPORTANT CULTURAL PROPERTY TODOROKI-MON

-[Ren] Excuse us. -[Shota] Excuse us.

-[Ren] Yes. -[Shota] Wow.

[bells chiming]

-It's summer. -[Shota] Amazing.

-It's summer for sure. -[Ren chuckles]

Nice sound.

[priest] You can proceed to the main hall.

WIND CHIME CELEBRATION

[Ren exclaiming]

Amazing!

I keep reading the tags.

-Me too. -[priest] I understand.

Amazing.

[Ren] So impressive.

[priest] Right this way.

Kannon is in the back here.

The principal image.

[Ren] Okay... Hands.

The Stage of Kiyomizu.

Yes.

-[Shota] I hear that phrase a lot. -[priest chuckles]

-Leaping off the stage of Kiyomizu. -Taking the plunge.

It's because of the height of this here. [chuckles]

[Shota] This is my first time seeing this view as a grown-up.

[priest] It's about 13 meters high.

[Ren] I saw this from over there when I came on the field trip.

It was under construction, there was scaffolding...

[priest] I see. The roof here and the stage boards...

The stage is made of hinoki cypress.

It's completely hinoki.

There's a saying "standing on a hinoki stage."

Some say it may have originated from this very stage.

-[Ren] That's amazing. -Wow.

-[Ren] This has been valuable. -[Shota] Yes.

-[priest] Any time. -[Ren] Thank you.

-[Shota] Thank you. -[priest] Welcome. Thank you.

[Shota] That golden hour was awesome.

The sunset was so cool.

Wow.

It'll be amazing here too.

-The scenery. -[Shota exclaims]

-Yeah, this image right here. -[Shota] This is exactly it!

-Beautiful! -[Ren] We were there.

Amazing.

What did you think of our trip to Kyoto, Shoppi?

Well...

I felt like...

I spoke fewer words than usual.

[Ren laughing]

-[Shota] But... -[Ren] Simple. Yes.

-[Shota] That's because I was enjoying it. -[Ren] Yes.

-This is just something I imagine. -[Ren] Okay.

-When it's just us two in Tokyo... -[Ren] Yeah.

-...we talk about work a lot. -Yeah. True.

[Shota] So I thought maybe

-we'd end up talking work here too. -Yeah.

-But we didn't. Not even once. -[Ren chuckles] Right.

But I felt it rather genuine.

I was actually glad that work didn't come up at all.

[Ren] Right.

That being said, it wasn't uncomfortable or anything.

[Shota] I get it.

-It was just us enjoying a trip as is. -Right. Yeah.

-Not getting worked up. -[Shota] Totally. I get you.

-I felt like we could just be ourselves. -[Shota] Yeah.

So work may not have come up, but with this Kyoto scenery,

it was like "there's so much we haven't seen,"

or "we could show this to our fans."

-[Ren] Yeah. -It's like...

we learned through scenery, not conversation.

[Ren] Yeah.

-[Shota] That's my feeling. -Yeah.

-It was a good trip. -[Shota] It really was a good trip.

I haven't had many trips this satisfying and rich.

It's been really nice.

[♪ exhilarating music playing]

Although we have forgotten about TABI sometimes.

[Shota] We forgot TABI a lot today.

Sorry, TABI. [chuckles]

Sorry, TABI. We left you behind a few times today.

-[TABI] It's okay. -[both laughing]

[TABI] Let's travel together again.

-Let's. -[Shota] Yeah, let's travel again.

-[Ren] The three of us. -[Shota] For sure.

Us three.
