[@MeelRm]

It's funny because Kageyama hates studying english too xD

[@whatTFisThis]

Kato actaully tried to learn English but the app he used to learn kept on making him the same sentence over and over again so he quit 🤣 "TEA AND SUSHI PLEASE!"

[@minhinguyen]

Kageyama is so talkative and it is quite scary

[@esatravieza4life]

Kaito is rather a hyper person compared to a lot of his characters and I love when hosts or guests on these shows ☺ the gap is just so much fun, specially because alot of times he is one of the younger ones in a lot of seiyuu interactions

[@minhinguyen]

@@esatravieza4life yeah it is so much fun to see him on radios and stages like this

[@itz_rubyflare6052]

And hinata being quiet is bit scary

[@MVero96]

Minh Nhi Nguyễn dude !! That’s what I think every time I watch these.. like it’s so different, but I also found interesting in this video how the voice actor says “I hate foreign language.” (I low key felt a bit hurt haha) it reminds me of that time when Kageyama says “I don’t need to know English.” 😂 haha like so alike in that sense

[@tafannumnaima5238]

well he's the class representative of class 1-A so what can we expect 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@lanat.3547]

I just like how when they're talking about how hard it is to speak a foreign language, Ayumu just stays quiet XD

When they were talking about it, I spent the next seconds staring at the Hinata bubble waiting for Ayumu-san to speak up or even mention he speaks English.

i’m half japanese and half filipino yet im blaming my parents for making me go to philippines to learn tagalog instead of japan. i am now officially struggling with exams in japan.

[@brinettevalorie4554]

That sucks. I'm kinda going through the same thing, except I was never a half in the first place. You see, I'm a Filipino aswell. Though, my parents taught me English instead, which I'm fluent in. Everything would've been fine, but I don't know how to speak or fluently write in Tagalog, so- :C Anyway, I hope you're doing fine in your tests. Stay safe and take care!

@@choco_matsu5184 Studying Malay and Chinese at the same time is probably a Malaysian's priority to do so. I'm Malaysian too, and we must learn Malay, Chinese and English in our school. Since our country is full with different races, and we can't use only one language to communicate with each other. I'm Chinese Malaysian, but my Malay and English is great, although that doesn't mean it's easy to learn (especially Malay), there's a lot to memorize.
