00:00I'm sure I'll be able to jump at a certain time.
00:15I'm looking forward to it.
00:19I think I'll definitely get better.
00:21I want to be patient at this moment, but I also want to get results.
00:28I want her to protect her life.
00:34I was just afraid that my life would go parallel to hers.
00:48In the spring of 2024, a woman was about to compete in the Olympics.
00:57Her name is Aika, and she is 25 years old.
01:01Are you nervous?
01:03I'm very nervous.
01:06What she was trying to bet her life on was...
01:10I think this is it.
01:15Yes, a kitchen car.
01:18She knew that she could lease it for 88,000 yen a month,
01:23so she decided to jump into the unknown world.
01:39It's pretty small.
01:42If I was a little fatter, I would have been stuck.
01:47From now on, this is her workplace, where she will face various difficulties.
01:56Does it look good on me?
01:58Yes, it looks great on you.
02:00It looks good on me?
02:02After graduating from university, Aika worked at a coffee bean sales company.
02:09After saving 1,000,000 yen for two and a half years,
02:12she quit her job and got a driver's license to open a kitchen car.
02:18What's this?
02:21This is how I get off the handbrake.
02:26I'm scared. I'm really scared.
02:33Do you think about the price?
02:36The price?
02:38I think I can sell it for 500 yen.
02:43I want to sell it for 100 times a day.
02:4950,000 yen?
02:50Yes.
02:51To put it simply,
02:54100 meals a day is a dream number for a kitchen car owner.
03:01There are many ways to earn money.
03:04For example, there are owners who earn most of the sales at weekend events like this,
03:11and there are also owners who earn constantly outside the office on weekdays.
03:17However, the absolute condition is that the taste is good and the product is rich.
03:26Now, there are kitchen cars that serve authentic pizza with stone plates,
03:34and there are kitchen cars that serve sushi that are as good as first-class restaurants.
03:41However, the reality is that it is difficult not only to discriminate, but also to survive if it is just delicious.
03:53Among them, the ultimate winners are the owners who can sell super first-class products even in the city.
04:01In such a place, there are always middlemen who pay about 15% of the sales,
04:09and even the taste and the personality of the owner are severely judged.
04:14But for that, the daily sales are...
04:19It's a little over 100 meals, right?
04:22In terms of sales?
04:23In terms of sales, it's about 98,000 to 85,000.
04:27In addition, it is also necessary to have the spirit of continuing without changing the menu that becomes a pillar.
04:34Here, the female owner of Hawaiian Karaage...
04:38Now, it's about 130 meals.
04:41In terms of sales?
04:43It's about 110,000.
04:47It's been quite a long time here.
04:50That's right. It's been more than 10 years.
04:54At first glance, it looks gorgeous, but behind it is a world of kitchen cars that are working hard.
05:02I don't know if you know this, but Aika decided to quit her stable company and jump into it.
05:16In the case of her, who lives in the city, the parking fee is also a large expense.
05:25Aika's house is a tower apartment where her boyfriend, Yuuki, pays the rent.
05:35Yuuki, who has a Japanese father and a Chinese mother, has been in business since she was a student and has made much more money than a man of the same age.
05:47However, is it Aika's pride?
05:50She didn't try to rely on her boyfriend for the kitchen car.
05:57Yuuki doesn't support me that much.
06:00I don't know what to do.
06:02I don't know what to do.
06:04I don't know what to do.
06:06I don't know what to do.
06:08I don't know what to do.
06:10I don't know what to do.
06:12I don't know what to do.
06:15Yuuki doesn't support you that much?
06:18I want to make a living with the company's money.
06:27Was it a long time?
06:29It was a long time.
06:31It was hard for Yuuki.
06:33I thought she was a little girl who didn't know anything.
06:38I thought she was a little girl who didn't know anything.
06:42What should I do?
06:44What should I do first?
06:46What she relied on was the company's support system, where she could borrow money at zero interest rate.
06:52Thanks to that, she was able to borrow 1 million yen forcibly.
06:58This is seafood and this is sweet soy sauce.
07:03I'm going to make those three today.
07:05Was that abalone?
07:07It's abalone.
07:09They eat abalone with sweet soy sauce.
07:14The sweet soy sauce she makes was taught to her by her boyfriend's mother, Zusi, who died of cancer a year ago.
07:28She hasn't even been married yet, but she's been taken care of like a daughter.
07:35How did you get in?
07:39Whether the taste is authentic or not,
07:43I decided to have a Chinese friend who I met at a part-time job taste it.
07:50It's good.
08:08How is it?
08:10It's good.
08:12It's really good.
08:14Is it seafood?
08:16Yes, it's seafood.
08:18Oh, that's good.
08:20It's good.
08:22I'm sure they'll say it's not very watery.
08:30It's good.
08:32I'm glad it tastes the same.
08:36What's the score?
08:398 out of 10.
08:418 out of 10?
08:44I'm sure they'll say it's not very watery, but I'm glad they're encouraging me to say that.
08:58After opening the kitchen car,
09:01on the last day of the first Golden Week,
09:04I was able to rent the site of the Itabashi-ku facility at a 10% discount.
09:12What's on the menu?
09:16I'd like to have two kinds,
09:18one with a sweet taste of abalone,
09:21and one with corn.
09:24One with corn and one with shumai?
09:28Yes.
09:30That'll be 750 yen.
09:32She's the first customer.
09:34She's the first customer.
09:37I'd like to have two kinds, one with corn and one with shumai.
09:42That'll be 750 yen.
09:44I'm sorry.
09:49That'll be 250 yen.
09:53Here you go.
09:58That's the beauty salon.
10:00The one across the street.
10:02I see.
10:04Here it is.
10:07I saw it from above,
10:09and I heard you bought it.
10:11It looks good.
10:12I was wondering what it was.
10:14It was good.
10:16There's red sugar from China,
10:19and it's a bit sweet.
10:21It's good.
10:22I'd like this one and this one.
10:25That'll be 750 yen.
10:28Apparently, it's quite popular among female customers.
10:32But...
10:34Hello.
10:35We have Chinese soy sauce and fruit vinaigrette for 1 coin.
10:39It's hard to get customers.
10:45And when it's past lunchtime,
10:47the number of customers has stopped.
10:52I don't think they're coming out of the kitchen.
10:56I'm trying to get them, but I don't think they're coming.
11:03In the end, the sales of this day were about 9,000 yen.
11:10It didn't change for a month or two.
11:25My goal was to eat 100 meals a day.
11:28It was a dream come true.
11:31I'm so hungry.
11:34All the leftovers were taken home.
11:40It's been a day of dinner and breakfast.
11:44We didn't get any corn today.
11:47Don't you get tired of making porridge?
11:50Of course I get tired of it.
11:52Of course I get tired of it.
11:56But there was someone at home who was more tired of making porridge.
12:03It was her boyfriend, Yuuki, who supported her in every way possible.
12:14Let's eat.
12:26I think it's getting better.
12:29Compared to the beginning.
12:33I don't think it's going to change in a month or two.
12:40If there's still a problem after a year or two,
12:43I don't think it's going to improve that much.
12:48There are people who can cook.
12:50The people who are doing it.
12:53I think it's okay to work hard from the beginning.
13:00I think I'm blessed.
13:06You have a house.
13:08That's right.
13:09You have a house.
13:11That's why it's a little easier than other people.
13:16I have to do my best.
13:19Easier than other people.
13:22I know that better than anyone else.
13:27I was frustrated.
13:29I lived with Yuuki.
13:32He's been doing a lot of things by himself since he was a college student.
13:37He's been successful.
13:40At first, I blamed the environment for not being able to do what I wanted to do.
13:48I thought I was educated as a person who stands on top.
13:56That's how I convinced myself.
14:01It's not going to work out for him anyway.
14:04Is it a kitchen to drive away such feelings?
14:09On the contrary, Yuuki supports me now.
14:14In terms of my life.
14:16At this moment, I want to be spoiled.
14:20Instead, I want to get results myself.
14:25I thought it would be nice to have a big company.
14:34That's how I started.
14:39I'm glad I did it.
14:42July.
14:44Aika's kitchen car was in the suburbs of Tokyo called Takashimadaira, where she had never been before.
14:57Thank you very much.
14:59Is it near here?
15:00Yes, it is.
15:01This woman named Takagi connected Aika with this place.
15:07Takagi has a kitchen car community of about 20 people, mainly in Takashimadaira.
15:16It's fun to clean up like this.
15:26If there is a side connection between kitchen cars,
15:30you can communicate with each other when and where and what kind of shops are open.
15:41We don't have a restaurant, so when customers come to our neighborhood,
15:48they ask us what we're doing and when we're coming.
15:54There are more and more people who are looking forward to it.
15:59Takagi says he can only talk to the owner who produces really delicious products and has a good personality.
16:08That means...
16:10Can I say hello to you?
16:12She is a member of our Takashimadaira kitchen car community.
16:20Thank you very much.
16:23Aika was able to join the community.
16:27I could see the light for the goal of 100 meals a day.
16:35And what I was most grateful for was that there was no cost for the amount of exhibitions
16:43that Takagi introduced.
16:47Takagi wanted to liven up the kitchen car with everyone,
16:51so he looked for a place to exhibit himself and introduced it to his friends for free.
17:04What is that?
17:06I buy this every year.
17:09It's called a shouun.
17:12It's a kachuu.
17:14I buy this.
17:16I have to buy it because I'm going to do something.
17:21She made friends and started walking on her own.
17:25She is 25 years old.
17:28On the other hand, in Setagaya, Tokyo,
17:31there was a 25-year-old who was walking a completely different path while riding a kitchen car.
17:40Yasunori-san.
17:42His policy is not to rely on medium-sized businesses,
17:46but to look for a place to exhibit himself as much as possible.
17:50He is looking for a place to exhibit himself as much as possible.
17:56The place to exhibit himself on this day is...
17:59It's a record shop.
18:01It's closed today.
18:02It's closed on Wednesdays, Sundays, and holidays.
18:04How did you find this place?
18:06I found it on the same website.
18:08What about the number of exhibitions?
18:10It said zero, but I think it was 15%.
18:16I want to move to a different place.
18:20I think it's easier to rent a place like this.
18:23It's a parking lot, so there are a lot of water pipes outside,
18:27but I think it's cheaper than where I live now.
18:31I think it's more advantageous.
18:36Yasunori-san was from Mie Prefecture,
18:38and when he was in high school, he was the head of the art department.
18:41He has tried everything, from a band to a student council.
18:46However, the kitchen car, which he challenged with confidence,
18:50was not easy.
18:55For example, it was difficult to find a place
18:58to drain the water from the tank in the car.
19:08By the way, is there any water supply?
19:11If you put on this makeup, you can put in as much as you like.
19:15Thank you very much.
19:17It seems that this car can both drain and supply water.
19:22You can come here all the time.
19:26Please use it here.
19:28Thank you very much.
19:30It seems like a god to Yasunori-san,
19:33who hasn't been able to do anything well since the opening.
19:38If it was possible to drain the water,
19:40the car would be very light.
19:42It's very light.
19:45The site of this day is the location of a record shop.
19:52Good morning.
19:54Good morning.
20:00This is the first place to put out a kitchen car.
20:03It's a waste because it's already open,
20:06so I'm wondering if I can use it for something.
20:10The eggs are broken.
20:13I wonder why.
20:15I can only make two topping eggs today.
20:25Yasunori-san's main menu is an onion cutlet,
20:30a hamburger with an original patty that is delicious to eat as it is.
20:35A hamburger.
20:38The price is going up.
20:40Two hamburgers with cheese and fried eggs.
20:43You put everything on the Deluxe?
20:45Deluxe.
20:46Deluxe. Thank you very much.
20:47It will be 950 yen.
20:50Originally, it was an arrangement for a hamburger
20:54with my mother's favorite food.
20:59Do you buy it here?
21:01Yes.
21:02I may come here every Wednesday.
21:08It may change depending on today,
21:11but I may come here again.
21:16Do you have a lunch break now?
21:19Lunch break.
21:27Thank you very much.
21:29Thank you very much.
21:32The person who came there was...
21:36Hey!
21:39I'm here.
21:40Thank you very much.
21:41What are you wearing?
21:42I'm wearing a T-shirt.
21:44It seems to be an old acquaintance.
21:48It's a good one.
21:49Really?
21:50Thank you very much.
21:53Thank you very much.
21:54Thank you very much.
21:56He was the manager of the restaurant I worked at at that time
22:00and he was like my boss.
22:03We both knew each other very well.
22:08Yasunori worked as a security guard at Roppongi
22:13and saved 1.5 million yen in half a year.
22:17At that time...
22:19There were people around me who were very conscious.
22:23It was very stimulating and I was very happy.
22:27Instead of getting on someone else's ship,
22:30I wanted to control my own ship.
22:33Time is life, isn't it?
22:36Life equals time, doesn't it?
22:39I want to use it myself.
22:43I don't want people to judge my value.
22:47And one more thing.
22:49He had a life-changing experience.
22:54Do you have any siblings?
22:56I had a younger brother.
23:00He died in a car accident when I was 20 years old.
23:05He was the first one to wear clothes.
23:12My grandfather, my father, and I were the only two children in the family.
23:18I was supposed to take care of my brother when he graduated high school.
23:23But he suddenly passed away.
23:28Until now, my family consisted of four people.
23:32I had a dog.
23:34There was a family of four people and one dog.
23:40Now there are three of us.
23:47Even if I don't have a dog,
23:51there are many interesting people in the world.
23:56But my family is irreplaceable.
24:01I really think so.
24:06Of course, my parents were the ones who suffered the most.
24:18Especially my father, who was looking forward to the day when his son would become a carpenter.
24:24He had a lot of tools that he wanted to inherit someday.
24:31This is a set of chisels.
24:37I don't use them very often.
24:41The chisel that my grandfather used was also a set of chisels.
24:45This is a set of chisels that my father used.
24:50I went to a vocational school to become a carpenter.
24:55I've been working with my father since then.
25:00I've been working with my father since then.
25:05If he could go back to that time,
25:10his mother, Mie, would say that his way of thinking about life has changed.
25:16I've come to think that I want to cherish the present.
25:21I've come to think that I want to cherish the present.
25:26When I look at the disasters and the loss of my family,
25:31I can understand how painful it is to lose your family.
25:36So this time, I'm going to do my best to do what I decided to do.
25:41I'm going to do my best to do what I decided to do.
25:46I'm going to do my best to do what I decided to do.
25:51I'm going to do my best to do what I decided to do.
25:59Yasunori keeps looking for a shortcut to success,
26:04as if he were in a hurry, not knowing his parents' feelings.
26:12Even if I continue to work at this place,
26:15the sales won't go up to 10,000 yen.
26:18The minimum is 20,000 yen.
26:21If it's 20,000 yen, I can make it 400,000 yen in 20 days.
26:26To find a place where middlemen don't work,
26:32Yasunori decided to make a flyer himself.
26:41This is 1,500 yen.
26:44One flyer is 50 yen.
26:47If I were to do normal work, it would be impossible.
26:51I would have to get a job on social media,
26:55or I would have to go down the road myself.
26:59If you have an image around here, you can come here.
27:07There's a real estate agency, so you can come in.
27:10He has a lot of motivation.
27:20Many kitchen cars pay middlemen
27:24to find a high-quality place to work.
27:29Yasunori's motivation to go against this trend
27:33will he be able to find a job?
27:42May, 2024.
27:45Yasunori went to a rental car shop
27:49after a rough Golden Week.
27:53For some reason, Yasunori went to a rental car shop.
28:00That's my new car.
28:03I'm going to buy it at an auction.
28:05It's really nice.
28:07I like this one.
28:10What did he rent it for?
28:14It turned out to be moving.
28:18To save on rent and parking,
28:22he moved his house to Machida,
28:26where he opened his shop for the first time.
28:32I'm sure I'll be able to find a job.
28:36I'm sure I'll be able to find a job.
28:41I'm not worried about that.
28:44I'm looking forward to it.
28:46I'm looking forward to my first job in a year.
28:50I'm sure it's going to get better.
28:53It may seem like a small town,
28:57but Yasunori is very proud of it.
29:02Wow.
29:04What is this?
29:09If this shared space is a real estate,
29:13it's like a test kitchen for new menu development.
29:18In a rental car shop,
29:21you can reduce the price by half
29:25by paying 100,000 yen per month for rent and parking.
29:30And...
29:32Let's take out the old house.
29:35And let's find a good one.
29:38Look at this.
29:41It's a memo.
29:45I'm going to put some food in here.
29:48You're going to put food in the fridge?
29:51But the problem is that the initial cost is too high
29:55and he has to pay the consumer finance.
29:59I have a credit card loan.
30:02If I need money, I can get it from the card.
30:07Don't you want to worry your parents?
30:11I'm not worried.
30:14I just don't want to send them bamboo shoots.
30:18I don't want to send them food.
30:21I have a lot of food at home.
30:24I don't want them to think I'm crazy.
30:27It's very convenient to ask them to lend me money.
30:32That's my pride.
30:35It's annoying.
30:37I think they'll leave me alone.
30:40But there was something that made him happy.
30:47It was a children's event held in Sumida Ward.
30:53In front of the line was an onion cutlet line.
31:00You're busy, aren't you?
31:18I spent about 60,000 yen.
31:2160,000 yen in four hours? That's good.
31:29I was invited.
31:34On the other hand,
31:36Aika's Okayu Kitchen, which is on the Takashima Dial,
31:41started to get more and more customers.
31:49Thank you very much.
31:52If you'd like, I'll put up a flyer.
31:56I'm in a different kitchen every time.
32:02Thank you very much.
32:08She put up a flyer in the store and contributed to the community.
32:16Like now, Aika said,
32:18I'm not here, but if you'd like, I'm a member of the team.
32:23Then someone else said,
32:25Aika is here, so please come out.
32:29Then I said, I'm interested in money, so I'll go.
32:33Everyone is helping each other without knowing.
32:36If it catches someone's eye, it leads to happiness for others.
32:41It's not just my happiness, it's everyone's happiness.
32:45If you don't have a strong connection,
32:50I realized how important it is to have a connection.
32:55While enjoying it,
32:57it's tough if you don't think about money.
33:04It's tough on the Takashima Dial.
33:07Aika's unknown resolve is in the meaningful words.
33:14And Yasunori, too.
33:18When did you update?
33:20September.
33:22At the end of September?
33:24I think it was around September 16th.
33:26I have to tell Matsuno about this.
33:30I'm thinking of quitting the kitchen.
33:34What?
33:36What happened to Yasaki, who was finally recognized for her onion cutlet?
33:48This is the day of the debut match.
33:51At an event in Machida.
33:53Thank you for your service.
33:55You're welcome.
33:57This parent and child have been regular customers since their debut.
34:03I'm really happy.
34:05I didn't know I could eat something so delicious up close.
34:08When I saw the information about the exhibition,
34:10I went to Toyota or here.
34:12This is the first time I've been to Shibahiro.
34:16I'm doing a car lease now.
34:19I'm going to close it by the end of July because of the number of times.
34:26I'm a little sad because I'm always doing well.
34:31That's right.
34:36I'm happy to hear that.
34:38Thank you very much.
34:40Thank you very much.
34:42Even a regular customer like this came with me.
34:46I feel bad.
34:49Why did he decide to quit?
34:53I started because I wanted to balance time and money.
34:58If you want to sell 1 million units, you have to work really hard.
35:03If you want to sell 50,000 units a day,
35:05you have to do something like the Children's Excitement Festival.
35:09You have to do something like that every day.
35:12And there's a preparation for that.
35:16If you think about the preparation for that,
35:20even if it's a week later,
35:22I think it's pretty tough.
35:27If you think about it, it's about the same salary as when I was working as a carpenter.
35:32It's a little...
35:37I don't know if it's right to compare the income of a carpenter and a kitchen car,
35:42but it's true that Yasunori-san's heart is broken.
35:51This day started in the morning.
35:57There was a battery stand.
36:00I think it's the engine oil.
36:03He was neglecting the maintenance of the generator,
36:07which is used for the ventilation fan of the kitchen car and the refrigerator.
36:12I'm sorry.
36:22Of course, it's my fault.
36:35I'd like a burger, please.
36:40There are so many people who want it.
36:45Wow, that's nice.
36:47That's great.
36:49In the end, this day...
36:53It was the last business day.
37:00The next day, he was peeling off a sign that he had ordered twice by mistake.
37:10The next day, he was peeling off a sign that he had ordered twice by mistake.
37:18The car was also a mess.
37:28Thank you for waiting.
37:31I'd like to check the contents.
37:37So, there are three parts here, here, and here on the sign.
37:45You can hit it three times.
37:48Oh, and this.
37:51I didn't notice it.
37:55I see.
37:57So you didn't contact the insurance company.
38:00I see.
38:01This is just to change the hood, so I don't think it's that expensive.
38:05I see.
38:09Thank you very much.
38:11I think it's better not to leave a strange debt on the way.
38:18I think it's better not to leave a strange debt on the way.
38:21Thank you very much.
38:23Is the switch fast or is it not sticky enough?
38:29Thank you very much.
38:33In any case, it may be a decision that can be made because the car is a loan.
38:45As proof of this, Mr. Yasunori had decided on the next part-time job before returning the car.
38:56Mr. Yasunori is saving money here until he finds what he wants to do again.
39:03This is also a good way to get a job early.
39:10Can I have a moment?
39:12Yes, of course.
39:13Thank you for your help.
39:16Are you sure you don't want me to come back in August?
39:20No, it's okay.
39:22Thank you very much.
39:24Thank you for your hard work.
39:26He was also informed at a new workplace.
39:31I don't feel like I'm done yet.
39:38I feel like I'm starting from here.
39:47I have to do a lot of things from here.
39:50Is this vitality the present?
39:59August 2024.
40:02Mr. Yasunori, who rented a rental car again and returned to his parents' house in Mie.
40:10He had already told his parents that he had quit the rental car, but neither his father nor his mother denied it.
40:20Welcome back to your first birthday.
40:23It's cute.
40:25It's a little hard to see.
40:27I'm fine.
40:28He introduced me to a new family.
40:32I'm looking forward to it.
40:34Cheers.
40:39It's a celebration of work.
40:43It's over.
40:45It was fast.
40:47It was fast.
40:51It's important to find what you want to do.
40:59I've been doing this for a long time, but it's not profitable.
41:04If I quit, it's just a snack.
41:07If I eat a lot of snacks, I'll just get more.
41:10I can't do anything.
41:12I'm going to be hungry someday.
41:17I have to stop this.
41:19I have to set a goal.
41:22I think it would be nice if I could do it right away.
41:26I don't want to waste my time.
41:29There may be a natural disaster in the next life.
41:36I may die tomorrow.
41:38I may not be able to live even if I want to.
41:43I want to live a life where I can say that it was fun every day and it was the best.
41:53Don't waste your life.
41:56Those words pierce my heart.
42:00I'm going to get a carpenter.
42:03I'm motivated.
42:08If I aim for it, I think it's a profitable business.
42:13I'm sorry, but there are more disasters.
42:16You can register a carpenter online.
42:20I don't know if I can do it here.
42:24I've been doing this for six months.
42:29I can't do it.
42:31I'm looking for a job online.
42:34I'm looking for a job online.
42:38I'm looking for a job online.
42:41I'm looking for a job online.
42:44I'm looking for a job online.
42:49I'll do it for my brother in heaven.
43:07I've got a 10,000 yen bill.
43:09I'll think about it.
43:12I'm going to make a plan B.
43:17I'm going to make a plan B.
43:20I'm going to make a plan B.
43:22Yasunori's next challenge begins.
43:29And Aika's kitchen car came out of Tokyo.
43:37The menu has become quite new.
43:40Kiyuki designed it.
43:44It was terrible.
43:46She made it for me.
43:51Hello.
43:53I feel sorry for Mr. Takagi.
43:56However, the sales of Takashima Daira did not increase.
44:00This is the second time.
44:03It was delicious last time, so I'll buy it again.
44:06I wanted to eat mushrooms today.
44:09I'm sorry.
44:10It's okay.
44:11This is the third time.
44:14It's because of Yuki's support.
44:19If I were told to live alone, it would be difficult.
44:26I want to continue to live alone, but I don't know.
44:33No matter how delicious it is, it's one of the places.
44:37It's a world of kitchen cars that can be a big hit.
44:45Thank you very much.
44:47Be careful.
44:50But I'm sure she...
44:53Excuse me.
44:55Thank you very much.
