00:00Google Pixel presents, Another Sky.
00:16And I was waiting for this beautiful moment to share.
00:20I wanted to be in camp and festival, so...
00:31Actress, Yumi Kawai, 23 years old.
00:37Shut up! Don't make so much noise in the morning!
00:40She appeared in many dramas.
00:43Then, Kankuro Kudo praised her.
00:48And she won many awards in three years.
00:54I'm not good enough.
00:58She is now praised in Japan and abroad.
01:01Two years ago, she visited New York.
01:05But...
01:06I don't know how to describe this feeling.
01:10I don't know where I'm going.
01:14What happened in her heart?
01:21Another Sky is brought to you by Google Pixel.
01:32Tonight's guest is Yumi Kawai.
01:34Nice to meet you.
01:39You are now the winner of many awards.
01:44I'm so grateful.
01:48You are 23 years old, right?
01:50Yes, I'm 24 years old.
01:52How do you feel?
01:54I feel very calm.
01:57I'm not nervous.
01:59You, too.
02:03No one is nervous.
02:05I was nervous when I was 23.
02:08I'm not nervous.
02:10I'm nervous, but...
02:12What about your heart?
02:14I'm looking forward to it.
02:16Yumi Kawai, where are you from?
02:19I'm from New York.
02:21Yumi Kawai.
02:23She was in a dance studio in New York.
02:31Did you dance?
02:33Yes, I did.
02:34I didn't expect you to move.
02:36I danced a lot.
02:38What?
02:41It's right in front of Times Square.
02:45She's been looking forward to coming here.
02:48I want to go there. I've never been there.
02:50You've never been there?
02:51No.
02:52I'm nervous, but I'm going to take a dance lesson.
02:56I started dancing when I was in the third grade.
02:59I learned street dance and hip-hop.
03:04I was in a high school club.
03:09She devoted most of her time as a student to dance.
03:14The place I'm going to is called Broadway Dance Center.
03:19It's a dance studio in New York that you can hear the name of even in Japan.
03:25I'm glad I came here.
03:28I'm nervous.
03:30The lesson she chose was...
03:33I chose it because I thought it was similar to the jazz funk that Chiyo was doing.
03:44It was exactly what I thought it would be.
03:57You're moving a lot.
03:59Why did you start dancing?
04:02My younger brother has been doing ballet since he was three years old.
04:06He said he wanted to take a dance lesson with me.
04:10But ballet didn't suit me.
04:12So I started dancing hip-hop, which is a different genre.
04:15You wanted to dance more intensely.
04:18She was obsessed with dancing in high school.
04:22Her passionate days led her to become an actress.
04:27Hello.
04:29I made a story based on my favorite musical, Chorus Line, at a cultural festival in high school.
04:40At that time, everyone was studying for the entrance exam.
04:44It was fun, so I enjoyed it.
04:49The more I danced, the more I couldn't control my impulses.
04:54I became an expressionist.
04:57At that time, the Chorus Line tour came to Shibuya.
05:04I went to see it.
05:06That day, I decided to start dancing.
05:14Her first dance lesson reminded her of her original intention.
05:20It brought a new stimulus.
05:25Cool.
05:26She's good.
05:55It looks fun.
06:02I was embarrassed to show my dance skills.
06:06I like dancing and singing.
06:08I started dancing because I was interested in the stage.
06:11I think it was a coincidence that I started dancing.
06:15I was lucky to be in a movie.
06:18I felt like I was raised in a movie.
06:22How many years have you been dancing?
06:25It's been 6 years.
06:27I started dancing in 2019.
06:29I was in a movie.
06:33I realized what it means to reach people.
06:39I got a chance to challenge myself.
06:44I see. You went to New York.
06:47She first visited New York when she was 21 years old.
06:53It's been three years since her debut.
06:59This is East River Zoo in New York.
07:04I took a walk around here when I was here last time.
07:10I stayed here for three weeks in the summer of 2022.
07:16The director from Taiwan made a short film.
07:21He was studying film in New York.
07:26It was a luxurious experience to come to the place where the director spent his time.
07:33Before the shooting?
07:35I still remember it.
07:38She stayed in New York for three weeks to prepare for the film.
07:42Her experience in the summer changed her life.
07:49My friend's film producer's family lives in New York.
07:55I stayed at his apartment.
07:59This is where I stayed for three weeks.
08:04This is his apartment.
08:09I don't like walking.
08:13So I walk a lot.
08:16She found time to walk around the city.
08:23This is it.
08:25I used to go here a lot.
08:27It's big and easy to get around.
08:31I used to eat fruits when I didn't eat out.
08:37She went to a local supermarket again.
08:42It's fun to go to a supermarket in a foreign country.
08:46It's fun to just walk around.
08:48Cheese.
08:50This is delicious.
08:51Cheese.
08:53I used to eat fruits, cheese, and beer for dinner.
08:57Fruits, cheese, and beer for dinner?
09:00I asked my mom what she wanted.
09:07She said yogurt, her favorite juice, and asparagus.
09:15Where is asparagus?
09:18I found it, but it's thin.
09:20Isn't it thin?
09:21This is all I have.
09:27Let's go back to the house in New York.
09:30Are you going to the park?
09:31Yes, I'm going to the same room.
09:38This is Francine.
09:40This is the mother of producer Eric.
09:44Good evening.
09:51She can speak English.
09:53She's cool.
09:55The movie producer was deeply involved in Japan.
10:01Did your son know the producer?
10:04Yes.
10:05He was a producer in Japan.
10:07He speaks fluent Japanese.
10:09When the director came to New York,
10:13he told you that you could stay at his house.
10:16Yes.
10:17It's like a network.
10:19I think we have everything.
10:20She's a lady.
10:23She likes white wine.
10:26Cheers.
10:29She's very kind.
10:33It's very good.
10:35Do you like it?
10:36This is one of my specialties of the house.
10:39Gazpacho.
10:40It was a day full of brilliance.
10:45I didn't know what day it was,
10:47and I didn't know what house it was.
10:49She was very kind to me.
10:52I've been in New York for decades,
10:57so I know a lot of things.
11:01You have very strong legs to walk.
11:06I'm 83 years old, and I'm still walking.
11:09She's young.
11:10It's very easy to get along with her.
11:12She can walk for 30 to 40 minutes.
11:15She's very upbeat.
11:16I don't feel uncomfortable.
11:18I don't feel uncomfortable.
11:19You live in New York, don't you?
11:22No, no.
11:23How do you speak English?
11:25English is...
11:30She got used to New York very quickly.
11:34How do you speak English?
11:36English is...
11:38My high school is an international school.
11:41It's not a regular high school.
11:44Did you speak English in high school?
11:46I could speak a little English,
11:48but I wasn't fluent at all.
11:49That's a strong point.
11:51Did you want to speak English,
11:52so you went to an international school?
11:54At first, I was looking for a high school for dance.
11:59If you were looking for a high school for dance,
12:01you went to an international school.
12:02That's right.
12:03I searched and looked from the top,
12:05and I found that high school.
12:06I thought it would be a lot of fun.
12:09You can speak English,
12:12and you can dance.
12:14Did you ever think of going to a world
12:17where you could learn professional dance?
12:20I didn't want to live as a dancer,
12:24but I wanted to act when I was in high school.
12:28I went to college,
12:31and it was an acting course at the Department of Performing Arts,
12:33so I dropped out.
12:35You dropped out of college,
12:37but you've been busy with your job.
12:39I've been busy,
12:41and I got COVID-19 in 2020
12:43when I was in my second year of college.
12:46You couldn't go to school anymore.
12:48That's right.
12:49And it was an acting course,
12:51so it was hard to take acting classes on Zoom.
12:56If you were in my class,
12:58you could learn remotely and take tests.
13:02It was a little difficult to take practical classes because of COVID-19.
13:06So you had to go to college.
13:08I joined the agency at the same time as I was in college,
13:12so I thought I'd study on the spot.
13:16It's the first time she's been abroad alone.
13:19It's been two years since she decided to become an actress.
13:24What did she do to prepare for the movie she was going to appear in?
13:30When I woke up in the morning,
13:32my main mission was to take acting lessons.
13:37The lines were in English, so I took English lessons.
13:40The lines were in English?
13:42Twice a week.
13:45After that, I met the director and talked to him.
13:50What kind of role did you get?
13:52I played a Taiwanese girl.
13:55She went on a trip to Spain
13:58and met the local people there.
14:01The lines were all in English.
14:04The rest of the lines were in Spanish and English.
14:07There's too much information in the middle.
14:09There are so many countries.
14:11It's a great role.
14:13Alex Lowe is the one who brought Yumi Kawai to New York.
14:19While based in the United States,
14:21he has produced many works as a director and producer.
14:26What kind of lessons will he learn?
14:29I wonder if the range of his acting will expand dramatically.
14:33She has a lot of expectations.
14:36Every time, Alex calls the other actors one by one.
14:43I want to deepen my feelings and emotions.
14:52I want him to remember a scene where he broke up with someone.
15:00I want him to remember that moment.
15:04I want him to remember where the table was,
15:06whether there was a cup on the table.
15:08I want him to remember the feeling and the lighting.
15:10I want him to remember everything.
15:12I want him to immerse himself in that moment.
15:16It's difficult.
15:18I've never made anything like that before.
15:21I don't give a specific answer.
15:23I don't give a specific answer.
15:25I don't give a specific answer.
15:27I want him to realize what he wants to do.
15:32I think I'm under a lot of pressure.
15:35I don't know where I'm going.
15:40I'm under a lot of pressure because I'm in a foreign country.
15:44I took acting lessons in New York.
15:49I was wondering what I could do to make Alex's movie in Spain.
15:58I was a little bit confused.
16:00I was a little bit confused.
16:05She has been acting for three years.
16:08She has been acting for three years.
16:10She has been working on her acting skills.
16:15That's why she was so confused.
16:20I was like, what is this?
16:24I was like, what is this?
16:27It's something that doesn't exist in Japan.
16:31I wonder what he wants from me.
16:34I wonder what he wants from me.
16:36I wonder if he is satisfied with his vision.
16:41I was worried if what we are doing in New York would lead to the result.
16:51She didn't have a clear goal.
16:54She didn't have a clear goal.
16:57She was tormented by the unexpected anxiety.
17:02What did Alex think of her?
17:07What did Alex think of her?
17:11Hey, Yumi.
17:12It's been a long time.
17:13Hi, Alex!
17:14It's been a while.
17:15It's been two years.
17:17Wow, it's been a while.
17:21I could definitely feel that she was confused and not sure about what she was doing.
17:28I could definitely feel that she was confused and not sure about what she was doing.
17:29Or if she was heading somewhere, if she was actually improving.
17:33But besides that, I felt that that part of fear is more self-doubt.
17:37It's just part of the journey on the way to something greater.
17:44It's not easy, but it was also that something that I feel like that she needed to go through.
18:03At that time, your family wasn't around. What were you doing?
18:08Well, I was in contact with my family, but...
18:12I was already here, so I wanted to go to a lot of places besides the lessons and talk to a lot of people.
18:22She wants to break the sense of isolation.
18:25She decided to spend time with people other than the lessons.
18:30I'm Mimiko.
18:32I'm Mimi.
18:34She's the one who guided me and played with me.
18:40You've been to a lot of places, haven't you?
18:42I've been to a lot of places. I've been to an amusement park.
18:44I've been to Coney Island.
18:46I've been to a live house.
18:48I've been introduced to Mimi's friends.
18:53I was grateful that she brought me a new encounter on the way.
18:59Cheers!
19:01She introduced me to a new friend this time.
19:06This is my friend, Keston.
19:08Keston is a rapper.
19:10MC.
19:12Kai is a fantastic pianist.
19:15You are a published author.
19:18A TikTok star.
19:21New Yorker's reality.
19:27New York is obviously a very...
19:29There's a lot of different opportunities between music, acting.
19:33So many opportunities and experiences are in front of you in so many different ways.
19:38I feel like I also was lucky that I dropped in on a very good circle of people.
19:44Eventually, something is going to make you really upset.
19:47And something is probably going to make you really defeated.
19:50And you're like, maybe I should leave. Maybe I should move. Maybe I hate this city.
19:53Forget about it.
19:55If you try to just move on and let it go,
19:58I promise you something about New York will give you a treat.
20:01You gotta go.
20:02I should remember that.
20:04As I got to know more about their passion,
20:06I started to like New York more and more.
20:10Yeah, I like New York.
20:12New York is fun.
20:14I don't care about what people around me think.
20:18I really like it.
20:21I've heard that a lot of people in New York do what they want to do.
20:29I don't think I've had a chance to interact with them.
20:32I feel like I've spent a lot of time with them,
20:35and I can feel it in my skin.
20:40As she jumped into the city bare-handed and made herself comfortable,
20:45she started to feel that their way of thinking was strange.
20:52And then, there was a change in the lesson.
20:56When I was there for three weeks,
21:00I remember there was a moment when I felt like I was going to break through.
21:05I felt like something was working.
21:08I felt like I was moving forward at the right time.
21:14It's hard to put it into words,
21:16but I felt like it was overlapping with my life in New York.
21:21All the unusual things were exciting,
21:25and I felt like I was getting a lot of nutrition in my heart.
21:29I think that was the last thing I did.
21:33What she was looking for was not to find the right acting.
21:42It was an experience of living an unfamiliar life in a foreign country.
21:51I think I grew up in Japan unconsciously,
21:55looking for the right answer and meeting my expectations.
22:00It was a short period of time, but it was gone.
22:04I felt like I could do anything,
22:08like acting, making movies, and living a life far away.
22:14I felt like I was freed.
22:16I felt like I was free from what I thought I was.
22:22I mean, bringing her to New York,
22:25and it was part of the experience,
22:27it's not really just about acting lessons.
22:30It's about being in a completely new environment,
22:33because the character that she's playing is also new to the environment.
22:37I remember she only went abroad once or twice,
22:40so that was something that I definitely wanted her to experience.
22:44So the character is Taiwanese, and she's going to Spain.
22:48Yes.
22:49It's like being alone in a foreign country.
22:52It's a luxury to get to experience that.
22:56The way she thinks about acting and the way she approaches it,
23:02it really broadened my perspective on the world.
23:14In that sense, it was a big journey.
23:20This is my another sky, New York.
23:33I'll always be there.
23:35I'll be your number 9.
23:37Danny.
24:03I haven't done it yet.
24:05I haven't seen it yet either.
24:07You haven't seen it yet?
24:08That's right.
24:10I haven't completed it yet.
24:14So you're still editing it?
24:16Yes, I am.
24:17I want to see it.
24:19You want to see it, right?
24:20I want a lot of people to see it.
24:23Another Sky was brought to you by Google Pixel.
24:32Next week...
24:33I don't think I had any confidence that I could make a living as an entertainer.
24:37We're updating photos that you can only see here on Koshiki X.
24:41We have a lot of off-shots of our guests.
