On August 12, Kenny & Kota played arcade games together. Michael Nakazawa was with them that day and was relieved that there is no language barrier in gaming and he could take a break from translating for the two for a bit.

The next day Kenny went to the gym and had an interview and took Nakazawa with him as interpreter.

According to theundergrounddog blog, Kenny discusses this time of being in Japan with Ibushi in a later interview (translated from Japanese):

Omega: There are lots of memories and it is difficult. If I had to give one, I guess it’s the hot spicy challenge with Ibushi. We went to a restaurant in Nagoya. There was a Russian roulette pizza in that shop, and one of the 6 piece pizza had hot sauce on it. Me and Ibushi are poor at eating spicy foods and can not eat them at all, but decided to do the challenge because it would be funny.

Eating with us was a rookie from Nagoya. He ate first but there was nothing. And then we ate, but there was nothing at all. Why?

‘The truth is that mine was hit.’ The new guy turned white, the Russian roulette pizza was over. But then it’s not fun, right? So Nakazawa passed a spicy sauce to Ibushi, and Ibushi made the sauce for my pizza. In return I put sauce on Ibushi’s pizza, but I slipped and put it all over (laugh) But, for the time being, I handed it to Ibushi and decided to eat that pizza quickly. 

Then it’s hard to do anything! The two of us drank water, I put ice in my mouth, but I still felt like drinking water. Ibushi cried tears it was so spicy. So, Ibushi wiped the tears with his hands, but his hands actually had hot sauce on and so more and more tears flowed. So, both of our tongues are still burning, I asked for ice cream, but my tongue was still burning, still continued drinking water and then it took a long time to settle out. That was a good memory.”
