So, we decided to have her to this project.
We wanted to talk about the difference between America and Japan.
Thank you for coming.

I was called Fancy Nancy.
Taplers.
Can we have an introduce?
My name is Yuuki Sugawa and I'm also from Nogizaka 46.
How old are you?
I'm 20 years old.
20 years old? Really?
Yeah, I thought you were like 18 or 19.
How old are you?
I'm 18 now.
So you thought we were like the same age?
Yeah.
Thank you.
Can I ask like your favorite things?
Of course, my favorite things?
Like your favorite food, your favorite place.
Actually, this question is really hard for me right now because like...
You like bread.
Yeah, I do.
Why did you remember?
Like three years ago, you said it.
You love bread so you didn't eat it.
Right?
Wow, I'm so surprised you remember it.
Did you have any like trouble when you came back to Japan?
Oh, when I came back to Japan?
I was really bad at Japanese.
Me too!
I didn't like great kanji.
Yeah, like kanji was the hardest part.
Yeah!
My school had like a kanji test every week.
And I was like always the lowest score.
Yeah, like 20.
Like zero.
Really?
Zero?
Like zero.
Zero or 10.
Oh, that was like...
That was my routine for my kanji test.
I didn't want to say like french fries.
In Japan, you say like fried potato.
Fried potato is like...
It's like English, but it's not English.
And...
Like mechanical pencils.
Yeah, mechanical pencils.
Highlighters.
I thought, like, highlighters were, like, the word everyone uses.
But it was only in English.
Oh my gosh, I'm, like, so bad at Japanese.
Like, what does keiko mean?
Yeah.
I was like...
And you said, like, a mechanical pencil?
Yeah.
Mechanical pencil was, like, I think that was the most shocking word for me.
Oh my god, yeah.
Didn't you think so?
Me too.
Oh, staplers.
Staplers!
Staplers.
Celebrities.
Celebrities!
celebrity is not, like, celebrity, right?
Yeah, it's not.
celebrity means, like, former old man in Japanese.
But I think Japanese celebrity means, like, rich people.
That was a big difference for me.
Oh my god, corn dogs.
Oh, corn dogs.
Corn dogs.
I still forget this.
Yeah.
When I want to, like, buy a corn dog at, like, convenience stores,
I almost say, like, corn dogs every time.
Am I right?
Oh, One Piece.
Like, clothes?
Yeah.
In Japan, like, dress means really fancy dresses,
but, like, I think these are dresses as well.
Yeah.
These?
This is dress, but you say, like, One Piece in Japan.
Um, I think it's just my school.
Everyone, like, jeans and T-shirts.
And I was, like, wearing these clothes,
and my, like, teacher said, like,
you're so fancy nancy.
Do you know Fancy Nancy?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fancy Nancy is pretty.
Yeah.
So that's...
Yeah.
I was called Fancy Nancy.
Really?
Yeah.
Why do you say Costco?
I said Costco.
Costco
Costco. But I can understand because we write C-O- S-T- C-O. So like, oh that T. We can understand
that there is a T in Costco but I didn't read the T so it was weird.
So, thank you for coming today. Thank you for inviting me. How was the day? The day?
Only like an hour. It was really fun. I think it was like my first time like actually really
speaking with you in English. Yeah, me too. We barely had any chance to speak in English
together so at first it felt so weird and strange but it was fun. But you like talk
more in English than Japanese. Isn't you really? Isn't you really? I think I have like double personalities.
Yes, well, in Japanese it sounds like English but if you use it in America, it's a word that makes you wonder what it is. I would like to introduce them in summary.
First, French fries and corn dogs are called French fries and corn dogs, so when you want to eat American dog,
can I have that American dog? American dog? Please say corn dogs and French fries.
Corn dog, corn dog, French fries.
French fries.
If you want to buy...
Oops, I said it wrong.
You have to say it in Japanese.
Okay, so I have to, like, switch.
Please! Please speak Japanese!
If you want to draw a mechanical pencil,
you can't say mechanical pencil,
so you can say pencil.
You can also say hotchkiss.
But you can't say it.
Please say stapler.
Like that.
Please.
Mechanical pencils, mechanical pencils, staplers, staplers.
So, I hope you enjoy learning English with us.
See you soon!
