Oh my goodness!

[Life in Japan Theme Song]

ソファを解体してます あと少しです

Oh my goodness! This couch is all but gone — almost!

- 何とか出来たね - そうね

It wasn't as bad as I thought. No.

- 車に載せないと - そうだね

You still have to put it together! Ha ha True.

頑張ろう！

Yea, that's the fun part.

Look how spacious it looks now. I know!

- ネオクッパシティ - ルースのお気に入り

どうなるか楽しみです！

And there's a big hole in our living room, we're going to be able to fill it with something new

編集は大変？

We'll see what — I don't know yet.

かなり時間が掛かるわ

How much work goes into editing?

子供達は可愛くて 最高の仕事よ

Oh my- it's just ridiculous amounts [of work].

編集は… 楽しいけど…

Oh, it's so cute, so fun! The end project is wonderful.

私の職業は牧師です 教会のお父さんみたいです

The process is— fun, but... but.

家族が好きなので 天職です！

You know, I love being a pastor. Being a pastor is like being a father of a spiritual family.

- 家族作ってるの - 家族を？

And I love families, so it's just a natural fit for me!

作ってるんだね

We're making families! You're making families?!

ママとパパ

You're making matches here?

待って！ どっちがママ？パパ？

Mom, Dad.

女子は車で 家族ごっこ出来るんだね

Wait, wait, which one? Mom, Dad?

そうね 結婚ごっこも

(Singing "Here Comes the Bride")

数日前はバレンタインデーでしたね！

This is the way that girls play with cars. They make matches and families.

その起源は3世紀に 遡るのをご存知ですか？

I know. And marriages.

ローマ皇帝クラウディウス2世は 兵士の結婚を禁止していました

Well we just celebrated Valentine's Day — the day that the whole world celebrates romantic love — awww.

聖バレンタインは 秘密裡に婚礼を取り持つ牧師でした

But did you know that the origins of Valentine's Day go way back to the 3rd Century?

投獄されたバレンタインは 刑務官に 盲目の娘の為に祈るよう依頼されました

The Roman Emperor Claudius II outlawed marriage for his troops, thinking that they would fight better if they weren't married.

バレンタインが祈ると 娘の目は癒されました

Saint Valentine was a pastor who held up biblical views of marriage and would secretly marry the troops.

刑務官はクリスチャンになり 他の多くの人も続きました

Valentine was arrested and put in prison and there, awaiting execution, the jailer asked him to pray for his blind daughter.

バレンタインは処刑前 "あなたのバレンタインから" と記した手紙を残しました

Valentine prayed and the jailer's daughter miraculously received her sight!

西暦269年2月14日 彼は処刑されました

The jailer became a Christian and was baptized along with many others.

現代でも 愛する人に バレンタインカードを送ります

Right before Valentine's execution, he wrote a letter to the little girl and signed it “from your Valentine.”

でも起源は 結婚を導いた 一人の牧師でした

He was then executed on February 14, 269 A.D.

何してるの？

Now, centuries later, we still send Valentine's cards to people we care about.

ボールで倒すの

But originally it was all about this priest who would marry people.

何かのゲーム？

What have you been doing here?

そう！してみる？

Rolling the ball, trying to get all of these.

見せて

Did you set up some sort of game?

ミス！もう1回

Yea, should I show you?

- 1個倒した！ - 出来たね！

OK, let me see.

- もっと倒すよ - 沢山？

Oh miss! Try again.

- 3・2・1！ - 倒れてないよ！

Oh, I got one! You got one!

少し強かったね

Yea, I'm going to get more than that. You're going to get more than that?

- 全部倒さないと - 全部？

3, 2, 1 You got none, Dude!

1・2・3

Wow- that was a little strong.

- ワーオ！上手だった？ - うん！

You need to try to get all of these. All of them?

1週間に 4つの動画を作成します

1, 2, 3... Oh! I did pretty good, huh?

Life in Japan は金曜19時に配信 今から最後の仕上げです

So we produce 4 different videos for the weekend.

ルースの叔父 ティム牧師の新チャンネルは20時配信です

Of course there's Life in Japan at 7:00 PM, which I'm putting the final touches on now.

Paul - what's the most challenging part of a livestream of this caliber?

ミスはすぐ修正しないと

Everything's live, so if you make a mistake, everyone sees it!

集中力が必要だよ

And you have to like fix it on the spot, as fast as you can.

お会いできてうれしいです

It's like: focus. A lot of concentration.

2～3年前かな？

Becca, how long has it been since you came to IKEA with mom and dad?

多分そうだね

3 or 2 years maybe? 2 or 3 years?

そうだよ！ プレイグラウンドに行きたかったの

That's probably about right, huh?

まだ閉鎖中だね

I'm not joking. We wanted to go in the play place so bad.

迷宮に到着！

Yea — the play place is still closed.

巻尺と鉛筆があります

Here we go. Into the labyrinth.

欲しい商品を記入します

OK, so here you can get a measuring tape and pencils

最後の倉庫で必要です

And this little booklet where you can write what you want, the price, and where to find it.

- ソファです - 布のは嫌よ

Because you have to go into the warehouse and find your own things

布地はダメ

OK, we found the sofas. But Mommy does not want cloth.

それは布地だね

No cloth. No cloth.

- あれ欲しい - すごいオレンジ色！

That's cloth.

布じゃないのあるよ

This is my future sofa. That right there? That is so orange!

I found not cloth over there — see there's not cloth.

他の人がいるみたい

Very excited, I think I found—oooooo, leather sofas. Ooooooo

好みじゃないわ

Uh oh, somebody hold Momma chan back!

- これじゃない！ - 皆はどう？

I don't like that one.

良いソファだよ

I don't want to get this sofa. What do you guys think?

確かに良いわ

This one is a good sofa. Is it nice?

- 予算オーバーよ - 試していい？

It is nice.

イケアの偉い方 見てたらこのソファを贈って下さい！

Can't really afford this. Ok, hang on, should Daddy try this?

すごく気持ち良いよ！

Oh, yeah!

If any of our viewers are IKEA investors, please send me a couch!

あれと比べてみる！

This one is comfortable. This one is really comfortable!

こっちはもっと良いよ！

How does it feel? It's feels comfortable.

- そう？ - 本当に！

Wait! Let me compare with this one.

こっちは固め

Oh yea, this one is more comfortable.

向こうにもあります

定番のソファです

This one is harder than this one.

譲ったソファだね

And there's more around the corner.

- ベットになる！ - そうよ

Oh yea. This looks familiar.

- 座面が深すぎ？ - そうね

These do.

こういう椅子もアリかな 座り心地は？

Got rid of our sofa to get the same sofa.

過去最短の滞在でした

Wait! It turns into a bed! Yep.

良いのは見つかった？

It looks really deep, huh? It is really deep.

うん でも予算オーバー

What! We could just get a couple of chairs like this. How's your chair, Dude?

高かったです！

World record fasted IKEA trip ever.

皆が気に入ったのは イケアで一番高いソファだったので

Well, did we find anything we like Becca?

他のお店も見ます

Yeah, but it was too expensive.

25万円

It was so expensive!

もう少し手頃な値段の ソファを探します

The one that we all liked was the most expensive couch that IKEA sells

イケア vs ニトリ ソファ編ね！

So we're going to go look some other places

ニトリはどうかな

It was 250,000 yen.

どうかしら

We're going to go check out some other places, see if maybe there's a more affordable option out there.

着いたね 良いソファはあるかな

IKEA vs Nitori on sofa hunt.

床に置けるね

Here we go — see what Nitori has.

凄い！沢山あるね

Let's see.

- これ見て！ - こっちも！

OK, here we go. Let's see if we can find a couch here.

良い商品が沢山ありそうです

Well, we could just get one on the floor, huh?

見つけたかもしれません…

Oh my goodness! Choices, choices, choices.

- どう？ - いいわ！

Look at this one. Look at mine!

試してみよう

I would say there are so many good options here.

- 気に入ったわ！ - 見て！

We think we found one that... It's a little different.

これ見て！

Could it be? Oh! This is better!

納品まで1か月待ちです

Oh- let me try!

僕らが最後のお客さん 長い1日だったね

This is what I want! And look at this!

- 親切な店員さんだったわ - 本当に！

Look at this!

- 車まで見送ってくれたわ - 流石だね！

We're buying a sofa, so we have to wait one month until it gets delivered!

ソファが無いと広いね

Yea, we were the very last ones here. Who knew that buying a sofa could be such a process.

今回は牧師の仕事を少し紹介しました いかがでしたか？

But we had the best salesman. Oh my goodness, he was so nice.

Q&Aの回も企画しているので

He even walked us to our car, practically. That was amazing!

皆さんの質問も教えて下さい

There's a lot of space without that couch there, isn't there?

ジャパンタイムズに感謝します！

So that's just a little look inside of our lives as pastors.
