First 90 secondsRyotaro Sakurai· Guest0:00
[upbeat music] Wow.
Chris Broad· Host0:01
Hello, welcome to the Abroad in Japan podcast. Probably the best way of learning about life in Japan without actually being in Japan. We are firmly in Japan today, and we're in a hotel room with the one, the only Ryotaro Sakurai.
Ryotaro Sakurai· Guest0:13
Hello, everyone. It's been a while. It's been a while. Like, how, what wa- how long was that?
Chris Broad· Host0:17
It's been- How long was that? Yeah.
Ryotaro Sakurai· Guest0:19
It's been- Well, you were at the wedding. Yeah. Oh, yeah. But- So that wasn't too long ago. [laughs] That was... No, no, no. I mean last podcast we did.
Chris Broad· Host0:24
Oh, ages ago.
Ryotaro Sakurai· Guest0:25
Ages ago.
Chris Broad· Host0:26
We try and keep them off. Also, he's came into my hotel room with a packet of smelly- Fries ... oily... I haven't eaten McDonald's in a while. I've been trying to do, like, a good job avoiding, like, shitty food this year.
Ryotaro Sakurai· Guest0:38
Well, shitty food that you'll be eating- Like this ... every day.
Chris Broad· Host0:40
The whole hotel room. I'm staying here for a few days, and the whole room now smells of Ronald McDonald's fucking oil drum.
Ryotaro Sakurai· Guest0:47
Something.
Chris Broad· Host0:48
[laughs] It's horrible.
Ryotaro Sakurai· Guest0:50
So that I can seduce you to, like, into the, the world again, you know?
Chris Broad· Host0:53
[laughs] No, no, no. I'm a changed man. I'm a changed man because- A changed man?
Ryotaro Sakurai· Guest0:56
You're saying that ...
Chris Broad· Host0:57
yeah, 'cause I'm, like, 36 years old in a minute.
Ryotaro Sakurai· Guest0:59
Yeah.
Chris Broad· Host1:00
Like, a few days.
Ryotaro Sakurai· Guest1:00
Uh-huh.
Chris Broad· Host1:01
And I was like, "The day I turn 35, I'm gonna get fit once and for all." That didn't happen. Then I changed it to, "The day I turn 36- [laughs] ... I'm gonna get fit once and for all."
Ryotaro Sakurai· Guest1:12
Are you gonna repeat this over and over again?
Chris Broad· Host1:14
No, but I'm, I'm off to a good start, right? I've started this year. I was pretty not healthy 'cause of the stresses and strains of last year.
Ryotaro Sakurai· Guest1:20
Mm-hmm.
Chris Broad· Host1:20
Uh, and the wedding. And I just ate a lot of sausage rolls in the UK. But I, I've just been, like, running. I've been getting fit. I've been eating more carefully.
Ryotaro Sakurai· Guest1:28
True, though. You've been losing weight, right?
