【中級日本語】If You Could Live Anywhere… Talking About Our Dream Homes ｜ 理想の家 w@yuyunihongopodcast)

Yes, this time the topic is about the ideal home. Like a YouTuber, you know Are you living in your ideal home right now? Living there Ah, I see. The reason is that I'm coming back to Japan today. You're at your parents' house right now, aren't you? That house is an ideal home to me. Where exactly is the ideal point? First, there is a garden. Is there a garden? There is a garden. And in the yard, you know That front entrance garden is Pines whose leaves never fall, like that one There are trees planted there, giving off a distinctly Japanese atmosphere. On the opposite side, there are maybe four or five trees planted. And this is a tree my grandmother requested to be planted. I want to plant four trees that clearly express the four seasons. And originally, my grandmother was from the countryside. I just want to live in a house with big windows. So, you know that ordinary tall, narrow house, right? All of this side is windows. Isn't that unusual? It's just that it's an old house, that's all. And in front of this window, there are four trees planted like this, five in total. When spring comes, this flower will bloom. When autumn comes, this flower blooms. And when winter comes, it's enjoyable to see these leaves fall off. Oh, it's wonderful—so thoughtfully made. Well, apart from that, there's also its size, you know. Are there really no such wooden structures or anything like that? That's true, too. A wooden house, just the right size Two rooms on the second floor The first floor has a living room and a sitting room. And there's the tokonoma shelf there. Yeah, nice. There's a tokonoma. So. Want to have tea? I don't drink tea; I just have coffee normally. Is there a veranda or something like that? There is also a veranda. It's the best, isn't it? What do you call a veranda on the outside? It's not that there's a veranda inside the house or anything like that, but... There's something like a bench outside that window. Dudududu, you know? Then sit there and gaze at the garden for a bit while having some coffee. Yes, yes, yes I don't drink coffee in the morning, but Grinding coffee with a gritty, grating sound Why? Drawing coffee from those beans is I pull it out and drink it, though. You said you wouldn't drink it, so I don't drink coffee, you know. Drink coffee Ah, I see. Drinking. And when grinding that coffee Look at the tree Ah, it's falling down, huh... While looking at things like "Hmm, it's turned quite red now," Like But what about Mexico's current homes? That's no good. It's not okay? What's wrong with it? It's the exact opposite now, isn't it? I can't feel the changing seasons. There aren't that many windows either. It's pretty strict, isn't it? Are you satisfied with the size? The size is fairly satisfactory. In a 2LDK, the living room is fairly spacious, I'd say. One? Or maybe In the human body apartment Is it an apartment? So. I'm living there just because the rent is cheap. But you know, even in an apartment, you know Aren't you doing a lot of exercise at home? Hello. It's okay, Mexico That's fine. Mexico is really okay with everything, you know. I don't know if it's exercise or not, but... That's right. And yet, I still wanted to give it a distinctly Japanese atmosphere. I paneled it. Actually, it's more like marble, or rather It was a stone floor, but And cover it with wooden tiles. So, is my knee going to be okay even if I exercise? Really? That's the vibe How about you, Sayuri? Your ideal home The ideal house is The bath is spacious. That's great. and the kitchen is There is a two-burner stove. How long do you suppose? I'd like a sink, something like this, don't you think? A sink, yes, it's nice that the sink is big, isn't it? Now, probably really small About the size of A4, slightly larger A4, is that too much? There's only a sink with about a 42-fold magnification at most. You know, about the cooking... It tends to get pretty complicated, you know. Once it becomes a plate plus a frying pan, it's already tough. I see, I see. That's why the bath is so spacious I think I'd like a house with a wider sink. Then there is You're right. I'm renting this place today. I thought this place was nice somehow. Where would be good? There is a television. Is it a problem with the house or something else? There is a TV and a TV stand. There is a sofa. Yeah, there is. There is a place where one can truly relax. I haven't had a TV for a long time already. Living without a sofa, huh? Right now, the house has a sofa, but A life without television So I'm just not watching TV for a bit. I've started wanting it. There is one, you know. If you have it, time runs out and it melts away. Time. Really? I can't help but stare. But what about it? Japanese people really turn on the TV a lot, don't they? Isn't it different when you go back to your hometown? You're always leaving the TV on, aren't you? You're right. Are you okay? I can't do it. I can't talk when the TV is on. Together? Really? You know, I just get sucked into the television. I'm listening, you know. Now the sound from this side is getting louder, you know. That's the way it is, isn't it? So it's fine to try concentrating alone, but If I'm in the living room or something, I might not be able to focus on the conversation. I see. Then, for example, living alone While making dinner Shall we turn on the TV for now? Or do you want to cook without turning on the TV? Something ordinary I don't watch movies much, but I want to live a life worth seeing. Even a like after finishing work for the day I'm beer, though. Sayuri-san isn't particularly in the mood for tea or anything like that. While drinking, say this I wonder, I'd like a place where I can relax like that. You're right, we do need some healing. Nowadays, it's really just my desk and bed. There's just a sofa in the wrong room. I'm living like a complete prisoner. Being in the cell I think we could maybe improve our quality of life a bit more. You should raise it. And as for this room here, you know Christmas trees and such Properly, some lamp or something These various decorations There's something called decoration, you know. My house doesn't have anything like that either. Maybe I should buy even more unnecessary things, though? Ah, well, I guess so. If I could take one thing from here, what would I take? Something you can take home? TV? Because batteries are expensive I'm not taking it back. I'm not taking it back home, though. You're right. You're right, probably something like TV. The sofa is also like this, properly done It's amazing that it can seat about three people, isn't it? That's good, isn't it? Really? You know, I'd really like to live in a house that, to put it nicely, has a nice view. What would you like to see? Lake, sea, or mountain? You can see nature. You're right; natural scenery truly changes with the seasons. Especially with mountains, that's probably the clearest. Maybe a lake would be fine? The lake is nice, huh? I want to live near the lake. I see. A house or an apartment? Hmm, that's tough. If you're thinking about maintaining it at all, it's definitely an apartment or condominium. But if you're not going to think about anything, a standalone house is really good, isn't it? A single-family home, you know. Cleaning is a hassle, but I just don't want to think about it like that. If you're going to enjoy the waste of life, a single-family home is nice, isn't it? You're right. Like putting in a stove and stuff Ah, yes, it's great—watching those claps, clap clap clap. Shall we do some knitting? I'm really bad at knitting, though Reading books and stuff like that, you know Like Just talking about this already makes me feel healed. Yeah, yeah, yeah And, you know, last time, Miku I was talking with Miku from Vocaloid Japanese. You know, Miku has been making this thing called a vision board. Vision board? Yeah, stuff I kind of want to have in the future, you know or things like ideal ones, and so on Make something like a collage, you know. Collect some photos and such. So that's what you were making. It was made because I was told to try making another round as well. So mighty Then, as I thought it would be, you know It was the house near that lake. Ah, I see, that's what I thought. I like grass too. Yes, yes, yes, yes There was also a dog around. There were even dogs. Yeah It would suit you well, likes and all. It sounds odd saying "it seems to suit," but it actually does suit. It was a large dog. Yeah A little house by the lake, with a lawn spreading out. Yes, yes, yes Come here, Patrasche Patrashu Sorry and stuff like that Yes, yes, yes It kind of feels like that, doesn't it? That's nice. One day When will it be, I wonder? Well, it's okay even if that comes true. I think it might be okay if it doesn't fade away. Yeah, maybe you're right. You know, just having it is fine too, right? That ideal So. Then, you know... Isn't it fun to enjoy while traveling? This place is nice too, huh? That place looks nice too. But once you get hold of this, I have to keep liking it, even though I don't want to. Yes, that's right. You're right, indeed. So. I like that kind of thing. I always end up trying to fulfill them right away, don't I? That's why I immediately start making plans. A type that becomes really tough If there's a target, head straight for it It makes me feel like I should just give up and let things go. But it's like a dream or something Even just having admiration is enough, isn't it? I think it's good. Then I also want a large window. Let's go to the big window. Let's go ahead and take the big window too. Let's go to the big window too. It's nice that you can see mountains and lakes from there. In summer, lying on the veranda I end up wanting two. I want it, then. You're right. Let's go to two or three more places. Just in imagination, that's all. That sounds fun, huh? That's great. Yes, then. What kind of house is your ideal home? Are you living in your ideal home now? You're right. Please let me know in the comments. Yes, Yuyu-san, thank you very much again this time. See you later Bye-bye
