# 電車で一目惚れした人に、話しかけたい - Show: ※もはや仕事ではありません - Published: 2026-09-30 - Canonical: https://podc.club/en/episode/6812948734_d3d4c5f94cea.html - Audio: https://traffic.megaphone.fm/HDYMP2736801631.mp3 - Source: Edited from a machine transcript of the first 30 minutes of the episode. Not an official summary. Fukai and Higuchi launched the first episode of their new podcast Moha ya Shigoto de wa Arimasen (※もはや仕事ではありません) by settling on a show name, picking an original P-sound for bleeped words, and working through three listener topics: dream travel destinations, conquering pre-performance nerves, and how to approach a stranger you've fallen for on a train. More than 700 listener messages had already arrived before the debut episode aired. The show is slated to drop every Wednesday around 6:00 p.m. as a casual, no-frills conversation radio program. ## What this episode answers ### How was the show's original P-sound decided? "Oh my god" was chosen — it came to both hosts on the spot and was adopted for being simple and natural. Candidates had included "Obenkyou" (お勉強), "Pikutekuu" (ピクテクー), "Nannan?" (なんなん？), "Stop" (ストップ), and "Itadakimasu" (いただきます); they also ran a live check by actually saying a NG word to confirm the sound worked. ### If Fukai and Higuchi were to travel together, where would they go? River sauna (already done together), Los Angeles, and Paris (for fashion) were all on the table; after verifying each other's bathroom habits and morning routines, they officially concluded: "We can go." ### What advice did the hosts offer for people who freeze up with nerves before big performances or exams? Fukai's method is a mindset shift — approach the situation as the evaluator rather than the one being evaluated; he tried this with a co-star on a drama set and saw it work. Higuchi offered the inverse logic: "It's only ten minutes in your whole life — if you can't give everything for ten minutes, how can you give everything in life?" — but Fukai pushed back, arguing that all the hard work put in beforehand is exactly why nerves hit; they disagreed on approach but both agreed that being nervous is proof something matters. ### How should you approach someone you fell for at first sight on a train? Through roleplay, honest and direct expression won out — lines like "You're incredibly beautiful" or "I've never seen my type before and don't want to miss this chance" played naturally even when the other person said they had a boyfriend, leaving no hard feelings. The drop-something trick collapsed the moment Fukai took on the crush role and immediately announced he was leaving; peeking at the listener's name on their phone screen was rejected as "way too creepy"; the conclusion: when someone shows genuine emotion, the other person is always glad. ### What hashtag was decided for the show? "Fujisaku Sekizui Radio" (藤作石髄ラジオ — 藤作 written in hiragana, 石髄 in kanji, ラジオ in katakana) was decided; the hosts encouraged posting on X and other SNS and set trending as a goal. ## Article ## Episode 1 Kickoff: Show Name and MC Confirmed After weighing several candidates, the show settled on its title: Moha ya Shigoto de wa Arimasen (※もはや仕事ではありません). Episodes will drop every Wednesday around 6:00 p.m., with Higuchi taking the MC seat. Fukai admitted he has almost no hosting experience, so handing the reins to Higuchi was a natural fit. The concept is deliberately low-key — a casual conversation show meant to be enjoyed like bar snacks alongside whatever you're doing. Listener team names and a hashtag are still being worked out, and the pair made clear they want to build the show alongside the audience as it grows. ## First Project: Creating an Original P-Sound (NG Sound) The first project of the debut episode came from the staff: instead of the standard "beep," the show would develop its own original sound for blurring out any slip-ups. Candidates came from everywhere — Higuchi drew on a drama script line for "Obenkyou" (お勉強), Fukai proposed "Pikutekuu" (ピクテクー), and a freeform brainstorm produced "Nannan?" (なんなん？) and "Stop" (ストップ). In the end, "Oh my god" — which surfaced on the spot — won out for being simple and sounding completely natural. "Itadakimasu" (いただきます) was a close runner-up. They ran a live test by actually saying a NG word to confirm everything worked, which prompted one of them to blurt out something so far over the line that, as they put it, "no P-sound can cover this" — earning a big laugh. ## Listener Q&A 1: Where Would the Two of Them Travel? More than 700 listener messages arrived before the first episode even aired. Among them, Sakuragi-san and several others asked: if you two could travel together, where would you go? The hosts first established the practical ground truth — yes, they could actually travel together as a pair. Destinations on the table: a river sauna (they've already done this one together), Los Angeles, and Paris. The fashion-loving member of the duo pushed hard for Paris, picturing the two of them attending a fashion collection together. Sharing a room was the next item to sort out — bathroom habits, morning routines — and after checking off each point with a "safe" or "OK," they officially declared: "We can go." ## Listener Q&A 2: How Do You Overcome Pre-Performance Nerves? Listener Chamu-san wrote in about freezing up during important performances and exams. Both hosts took the question seriously. Fukai revealed that he gets severely nervous — during script reads for acting work, his voice drops to barely a whisper. His personal solution is a mental reframe: stop thinking of yourself as the one being evaluated and start thinking of yourself as the evaluator. He shared that he passed this advice to a co-star on a drama set and saw a real improvement in their performance as a result. Higuchi countered with a different angle: "In the grand scheme of your whole life, an audition or interview is just ten minutes. If you can't give everything for ten minutes, how can you give everything in life?" Fukai pushed back, arguing that the nerves come precisely because of everything you've put in — and that's not a flaw. The two landed on different approaches but agreed on one point: being nervous is proof that something matters. ## Listener Q&A 3: How Do You Talk to Someone You Fell for on a Train? Listener Tsuki-san asked for help approaching a stranger they'd fallen for at first sight on a train, so the hosts worked through several strategies via roleplay. The classic "drop something to get their attention" move fell apart the moment Fukai stepped into the role of the crush and immediately announced, "I'm leaving" — ending the demo on the spot. A phone-screen-peek strategy — reading the listener's name off their screen as a conversation opener — was shut down as "way too creepy." The one approach that actually held up was the most straightforward: just say how you feel. Lines like "You're incredibly beautiful" and "I've never seen my type before, and I don't want to miss this chance" played out naturally in the roleplay, and even when the other person said they had a boyfriend, the exchange ended without awkwardness or regret. Their conclusion: when someone expresses genuine emotion, the other person is always going to feel good about it — no tricks required. ## Takeaways - When nerves threaten to derail a big moment, mentally flipping from 'the one being judged' to 'the one doing the judging' is a practical technique Fukai has tested and verified on a drama set. - Every role-played trick for approaching a train crush broke down immediately — the only approach that held up under pressure was honest, direct expression of how you feel. - The show's original P-sound landed on "Oh my god," its hashtag on "Fujisaku Sekizui Radio" (藤作石髄ラジオ), and it debuted with over 700 listener messages already waiting.
