Where does this voice sample of Karl saying "What was it like in Japan ?' come from ?
Where does this voice sample of Karl saying "What was it like in Japan ?" come from ? (The sample can be clearly heard in this song also.)

There's no original source, as such. It's just one of countless spoken word recordings the band have made over the years and deployed across various live performances and jams. I can't place it at the moment but I remember one where more is heard, and it went something like: "What was it like in Japan? Hot and sticky."

Yeah, that's the same sample as in this song. It's just pitched and/or slowed down. You can hear "it was hot and sticky" at least once if you listen closely.

I don't think it appeared on a studio recording previously. Just live shows and/or radio broadcasts.

I found at least one instance of it, when they used it at the opening of the 2005 Osaka show, but I know there are several others.

You are right, I remember this. I think it was from 2003/2004 era radioshow broadcasts. Post AHDO era, pre RiverRun era. I guess.
