00:00Now, tonight's guest is a voice actor, actor, and artist who is very active.
00:06She's really powerful.
00:08She's polite.
00:10She's very popular.
00:12Have you met her before?
00:13No, this is the first time I've met her.
00:17She's a really good girl.
00:19Thank you for coming.
00:20Thank you for having us.
00:22Giant is here.
00:24Giant is here.
00:26Can I come in?
00:28This is a really good place for a recital.
00:31Stop it.
00:32Everyone's going to faint.
00:34How long have you been doing Giant?
00:37It's been 20 years.
00:3820 years?
00:39That's right.
00:40My seniors did it for 26 years.
00:43I can already see their backs.
00:45But you're still in your 30s.
00:46I'm 34 years old.
00:47No, not yet.
00:48You can still do it.
00:49You can do it for another 30 years.
00:50I want to do it.
00:53Tonight's guest is voice actor, Kimura Subaru.
00:58He was 14 years old when he played Giant.
01:03Poor souls.
01:06He's acted in over 200 popular anime and dramas.
01:12He's also an actor and a rapper.
01:15What is his next ambition?
01:18I want to use Japan as a stepping stone.
01:22I thought Japan was just a stepping stone.
01:24But now it looks like a cliff.
01:26Stop it.
01:27Tonight, we're going to talk about life.
01:32Let's get started.
01:34Koji Kato's life is the best restaurant.
01:40That's right.
01:41I don't think it's meaningful.
01:42I think it's just a muscle to show off.
01:45I wake up every morning and squat.
01:48That's great.
01:49I'm surprised when I squat.
01:51I sweat a lot.
01:53No way.
01:54You're sweating.
01:58Tell me what you eat.
02:01I'll tell you what you are.
02:11Blue Mountain.
02:13Third store.
02:18This program is brought to you by Suntory.
02:27I remember when you auditioned for Doraemon.
02:31You auditioned for a voice actor from all over the country.
02:34How long did it take?
02:36It took until 3 o'clock.
02:39What was it at 1 o'clock?
02:40It was called a tape audition.
02:42I was told to play the role of a giant.
02:45I received a script.
02:48I recorded it like an MD recorder.
02:51Did you record it?
02:53I recorded it and sent it.
02:56This is when I went to the second screening.
02:59It was a group audition.
03:02There was only one person.
03:04Everyone gathered and said,
03:06I'm going to start a giant audition.
03:08I said, I'm not a giant candidate.
03:11I said, nice to meet you.
03:14Was there a child?
03:16I was the only one.
03:18Are you all famous people?
03:20I'm a professional.
03:22That's right.
03:24There were about 20 judges.
03:26I was sitting there.
03:28I had to go forward one by one and act.
03:32I was told in advance.
03:35Don't imitate.
03:37You can't imitate the voice of a giant.
03:40That's amazing.
03:42It's a new giant.
03:45It doesn't make sense to imitate.
03:48The first person comes forward and acts as a giant.
03:51It's like a horse.
03:53It's like this person.
03:55It's definitely a pass.
03:58It's amazing because it's a child.
04:01I'm going to the audition.
04:03I'm going to the audition with the school.
04:06I said to my classmates,
04:08I'm going to the giant audition.
04:10The teacher said,
04:12Let's all cheer for Subaru.
04:14Good luck.
04:16It's the worst situation.
04:18I was in a hurry.
04:20How did you tell the school?
04:25The information was canceled two months later.
04:30It's a common situation.
04:32It's a common situation.
04:34It's a common situation.
04:36Don't disturb.
04:38Don't be found out.
04:40When I got back to school,
04:42My classmates were surprised.
04:44I was like,
04:46What's going on?
04:48I'm not good at it.
04:50But I'm proud of you.
04:52I was like,
04:54What's going on?
04:56I'm not good at it.
04:58I kept talking to them.
05:00I'm not good at it.
05:02I'm not good at it.
05:04I'm not good at it.
05:06I'm not good at it.
05:08I'm not good at it.
05:10I'm not good at it.
05:12I'm not good at it.
05:14When the information was canceled,
05:16The heat had cooled off.
05:18The heat had cooled off.
05:20It's your college.
05:22Let's have a good meal.
05:24Where are you going first?
05:26In the
05:42It's a shop called Sasakiya, and it's located in Shinkoiwa, my hometown.
05:48I was born in Germany, my father is German, and I came to Japan when I was 7 years old.
05:55Ever since then, I've been going to this Dagashiya-like teppanyaki shop in my hometown.
06:02Oh, so you used to eat monja with teppanyaki in Dagashiya?
06:07Yes, that's right.
06:09In that shop, you can get fried eggs for 100 yen.
06:13It's made with flour, and there's a cheap version with only fried eggs and pickled ginger on top.
06:21But when you're in elementary school or middle school, eating fried eggs for 100 yen is...
06:29It makes you want to eat it.
06:30100 yen is a lot of money.
06:32It's a lot of money.
06:33100 yen for elementary school kids is a lot of money.
06:35If you add 30 yen, they'll put mayonnaise on it for you.
06:40It's a Sasakiya shop, but it's closed right now.
06:45The owner's daughter recreated it for me.
06:47Oh, really?
06:48Oh, I'm glad to hear that.
06:50It's a station, isn't it?
06:51The station has changed a lot, hasn't it?
06:53It's beautiful.
06:54It's very beautiful.
06:56Oh, this is me.
06:59You met her right in front of you.
07:01That's right. She was right in front of me.
07:03Oh, that's nice.
07:05It's nostalgic.
07:06It's a great place to eat.
07:08It's in a really nice place.
07:09I'm sure the kids were happy.
07:11I'm sure the kids will go there.
07:13I'm sure they will.
07:14Was it like this?
07:15Yes, it was.
07:16This pickled ginger and fried egg.
07:20This is delicious.
07:21It's simple, though.
07:23It's a snack.
07:24It's a 100-yen snack.
07:25Yeah, it's cute.
07:27You put it on top first, right?
07:29And then you turn it upside down?
07:29Yes, you turn it upside down.
07:32There's a table in the store, too.
07:34If you eat there, they'll serve it on a plate.
07:36When you take it home, they'll wrap it around you like this.
07:40You wrap it around with this, right?
07:41That's right.
07:43It's like a crepe.
07:45That's right.
07:47That's nice.
07:49This is 100 yen, isn't it?
07:50Yes, it is.
07:51Thank you very much.
07:53You're so good at talking to yourself.
07:57I thought I could do the stage by myself.
08:00Really?
08:00You're like a storyteller.
08:02I feel like I'm listening to a story.
08:04You've had that kind of experience, haven't you?
08:06Actually, I'm a student of Mr. Shirakawa, who is known as Mr. Shirano Tatekawa.
08:11Is that so?
08:12That's right.
08:13You've done a lot of things.
08:15I've been learning Japanese from Mr. Shirano.
08:18Actually, I've been asked to appear in a TV show.
08:21You're good at that.
08:23I'm doing it.
08:24I'm working hard.
08:26That's amazing.
08:28I'm embarrassed.
08:29Actually, I started learning Japanese in my hometown.
08:34My grandfather was a linguist.
08:38That's amazing.
08:40At that time, I couldn't speak Japanese at all until I came to Japan when I was 7 years old.
08:45Because it's German?
08:46That's right.
08:47My mother tongue is German.
08:48At that time, my grandfather was the one who taught me Japanese.
08:52Your grandfather was a linguist?
08:53That's right.
08:54That's great.
08:55My grandfather often took me to the park in Asakusa.
09:01Did your grandfather like to cry?
09:03I love my grandfather.
09:04That's a great family.
09:05Is your grandfather a linguist?
09:07Yes.
09:08What about your grandmother?
09:09She's a writer.
09:10What about your mother?
09:11She's a baroque music soloist.
09:14What about your father?
09:16He's an opera singer.
09:17What about your sister?
09:18She's a Broadway musical actress.
09:21That's a great family.
09:24Really?
09:26Do you use Japan as a stepping stone?
09:31No, no, no.
09:32I don't use Japan as a stepping stone at all.
09:34I thought Japan was just a stepping stone.
09:36Suddenly, Japan seemed to be a bad place.
09:38Stop it.
09:39I didn't say that at all.
09:41That's a great family.
09:43He doesn't say much on TV.
09:46You should say it.
09:47He doesn't say much on TV.
09:48I'm sorry.
09:50I don't know if I can say this.
09:52My parents have been playing classical music for a long time.
09:57I hate classical music very much.
10:00Did you say that?
10:01Yes, I did.
10:02Did you hate it?
10:03I don't hate it.
10:04Why?
10:05Because you're still young.
10:07My parents are professional musicians.
10:11They are very strict.
10:13That's right.
10:14They are very strict.
10:15Your parents are professional musicians.
10:16Yes.
10:17From the age of four to the age of 14,
10:19I played the violin for 10 years.
10:21The violin is a very difficult instrument to play.
10:25When I try to play the first note,
10:27my parents say,
10:28That's wrong.
10:29Even the first note is wrong.
10:31That's right.
10:32They are very strict.
10:33I was traumatized.
10:35Didn't your parents scold you for rapping?
10:38That's right.
10:39I was traumatized by classical music.
10:44I became addicted to rap music because of my parents.
10:51You wanted to play music that your parents wouldn't notice.
10:54That's right.
10:55Don't say,
10:56Don't say,
10:57Don't say,
10:58Don't say,
10:59Don't say,
11:00Don't say,
11:01Don't say,
11:02Don't say,
11:03Don't say,
11:04Don't say,
11:05Don't say,
11:06Don't say,
11:07Don't say,
11:08Don't say,
11:09Don't say,
11:10Don't say,
11:11Don't say,
11:12Don't say,
11:13Hyotannabe in Asakusa.
11:15It's a famous oden restaurant.
11:17When I was about 23 years old,
11:19I started drinking alcohol.
11:21When I wanted to go to various places,
11:24I stopped by this restaurant in Asakusa.
11:27I've been going to this restaurant for a long time.
11:30What's delicious here?
11:32It's oden.
11:33What I especially like is
11:35the oden with tuna eyes.
11:37What?
11:38I was surprised.
11:39The gelatin around the eyes?
11:41The gelatin?
11:42Here.
11:43The eyeball?
11:44The eyeball.
11:46I've never eaten it.
11:48I've never seen it.
11:49I'm sure you have.
11:50It looks amazing.
11:51It's as big as Kitaro's father.
11:54Oh, the whole body?
11:56No way.
11:57Can I see it first?
11:59Please take a look.
12:00I'm curious.
12:01Tuna eyes?
12:02Tuna eyes?
12:03Are you still doing it?
12:05I'm still doing it.
12:07It's a cool restaurant.
12:09It's not a restaurant for 23-year-olds.
12:11It's not.
12:12It's a place for women.
12:13I think it's a place for women who went to see a love story.
12:16This is a normal oden, right?
12:18Yes.
12:20This is it.
12:21Yes.
12:22The whole face?
12:23No, no, no.
12:24This is the eyeball.
12:25Look, look, look.
12:26Here it is.
12:28Because it's tuna.
12:29Yu-san, look at his face.
12:31Yu-san.
12:32This is it.
12:33Look.
12:34This is it.
12:35This is the eyeball.
12:36It's the eyeball.
12:39It's like an old man with an eyeball in the bath.
12:43Really?
12:44That's right.
12:46That's amazing.
12:47There's a lot of meat.
12:49No way.
12:50How many eyeballs do you have in a day?
12:53I ordered up to eight.
12:56Really?
12:57That's a lot.
12:58That's four.
12:59It's not one.
13:00That's four tuna.
13:01I like this, so I asked my friend to invite eight people to eat it.
13:07One by one.
13:08That's amazing.
13:09Who did you go with?
13:11I went with a theater troupe.
13:13I've been in a theater troupe for a long time.
13:16What did you do?
13:17I've been in a theater troupe for 13 years since I graduated from high school.
13:24Is it your own theater troupe?
13:26Did you start it?
13:27That's right.
13:28That's amazing.
13:29I'm in charge.
13:30You're a genius.
13:31Yes, I'm a genius theater troupe.
13:33Which one?
13:35I'm wearing a green jacket on the right from the front row.
13:39It's sharp.
13:40You didn't join a theater troupe after graduating from high school.
13:44Isn't it amazing that you started it yourself?
13:47What is it?
13:48I wanted to study only theater to become a voice actor.
13:57My teacher is Tomokazu Seki, who is now a voice actor for Suneo.
14:02My teacher is also in a theater troupe.
14:04I wanted my teacher to tell me that he would join my theater troupe.
14:11You wanted your teacher to tell you that.
14:15Until then, I went to see him many times.
14:18I've been helping him with his part-time job and theater troupe.
14:23So I thought it would be nice if my teacher scouted me.
14:29When I consulted him, he said,
14:31Why don't you make your own theater troupe?
14:34Seki-san?
14:35Yes.
14:36I thought it was a good idea.
14:39But I trust my teacher very much.
14:42So I thought my teacher would give me a deep message.
14:47So I said,
14:48Okay, I'll make it.
14:50I graduated from high school and started a theater troupe right away.
14:53I heard from Seki-san this time.
14:55Really?
14:56I heard from Tomokazu-san.
14:58Please take a look.
15:00You said you wanted to make your own theater troupe.
15:02Why did you say that?
15:04I said that, but it was hard to understand at first.
15:08When I was recording the drama,
15:10Kimura-kun sat next to me and said,
15:13I'm going to work hard as an actor.
15:18I asked him what I should do.
15:21At that time, Kimura-kun said to me,
15:24Let's join our theater troupe and act together.
15:28I thought he would say that.
15:31I don't think he would say that.
15:33In that way of asking questions.
15:35That's right.
15:36I'm talking in various places like Kanga-nibui.
15:39He didn't say that at all.
15:41He said it and put it in.
15:43At all.
15:44Oh, I'm glad.
15:46I'm glad, but the story is completely different.
15:48It's true.
15:49When I asked him to join our theater troupe,
15:51He said, let's do it together.
15:54I guess I didn't know what to do.
15:57Until now, you've been talking like Seki-san is dull.
16:00That's terrible.
16:02Why didn't you say that with pride?
16:04I thought it would be nice if he invited me from above.
16:10It's strange to ask for that.
16:13Because I was a child.
16:16Please forgive me.
16:18You were a child.
16:19Let's move on.
16:21This is the third item.
16:23Next is the best item of life that is cheap and delicious.
16:27Kimura Subaru's best item of life.
16:31That is...
16:34Kani Shinjo, who taught how to live.
16:39It's a shop called Fukuchan in Takadanobaba.
16:42Fukuchan?
16:43Takadanobaba is cool.
16:45When I decided to be a voice actor for Zion,
16:49It was not forbidden to interact with senior voice actors.
16:57I tried not to do that.
16:59Is that what the production team told you?
17:01Why?
17:02In short, I'm sure you'll ask for advice.
17:06Is that no good?
17:07It's possible that the voice will get closer.
17:11So the staff told me to make a new Doraemon.
17:17Of course, I think there are opportunities to meet other than Doraemon.
17:22In that case, it can't be helped.
17:24However, I decided not to do such a ceremony.
17:29Anyway, I was so anxious that I couldn't help it.
17:32When I thought about what to do,
17:34I met Kazuya Tatekabe, who became a voice actor for Doraemon.
17:40We got along well.
17:42Tatekabe was a former voice actor of Zion, right?
17:44Yes, he was.
17:45I'll tell you now.
17:47I secretly asked Tatekabe if I could meet him.
17:53When was that?
17:54It was about a year after it started.
17:58Did you rely on Tatekabe?
18:00I wanted to rely on him.
18:02So I asked Tatekabe if I could meet him.
18:04And I met him for the first time here.
18:06You shouldn't have met him.
18:08You're wrong.
18:12Did Tatekabe make a reservation here?
18:14Yes, he did.
18:15He's a nice guy.
18:17I took a picture of Tatekabe's favorite food here.
18:22Wow, it's nostalgic.
18:24That's right.
18:27Tatekabe used to go to this restaurant.
18:29I went to this restaurant when I first met him.
18:31I went to this restaurant when I first met him.
18:33Is this a picture of you two?
18:35This is a picture of us when we first met.
18:37You're the first giant.
18:39You're the first giant.
18:41This is rare.
18:43It's rare.
18:44Did you take a picture of this?
18:46This is a crab.
18:48It looks delicious.
18:50This looks really delicious.
18:53I can eat three or four.
18:55What is this?
18:57I didn't know you were eating this.
18:59This is salt.
19:01This is salt.
19:03He's an adult.
19:05He's an adult.
19:07At that time, Kimura was worried about being a giant.
19:11What did he talk about with Tatekabe?
19:15When I entered the restaurant,
19:17When I entered the restaurant,
19:19I felt like I was sitting on a giant.
19:21I felt like I was sitting on a giant.
19:24I was surprised.
19:26I was surprised.
19:28How did Tatekabe perform the giant?
19:30How did Tatekabe perform the giant?
19:32How did he make a voice?
19:34I wanted to ask everything about him.
19:36I wanted to ask everything about him.
19:38I asked him.
19:40Tatekabe said,
19:42Tatekabe said,
19:44I don't know.
19:46I don't know.
19:48I don't know.
19:50I don't know.
19:52Wow, that's really good.
19:55This was so frustrating that I couldn't help it.
19:59You couldn't understand it?
20:01No, I couldn't.
20:02I mean, I was doing it with this kind of feeling.
20:07For example, in the recital scene,
20:10it's good to do it while imagining this kind of thing.
20:12When I make a voice, I use this part of my throat.
20:15It's good to make a voice like this.
20:17After all, the technique.
20:18The technical one.
20:20I wanted the technology.
20:21That's the one you hate the most, isn't it?
20:24That's the answer you want, isn't it?
20:27I couldn't understand it anymore.
20:30After all, I wanted the technology.
20:32So, when I was 20 years old,
20:35I finally started drinking with Mr. Tatekabe.
20:39It's been about 6 years since you did Giant, right?
20:40That's right.
20:41Mr. Tatekabe said,
20:42this will be the last advice,
20:46but Giant is a gory one,
20:49so you can do it as much as you want.
20:51That's what he said.
20:53I understood this meaning
20:55when Mr. Tatekabe passed away.
20:58I was able to meet Mr. Tatekabe,
21:00who was in the coffin, just once.
21:03You could see his face.
21:04Yes, I had time to see his face.
21:05It was really one-on-one in the room.
21:07I won't forget it,
21:11but when I saw him lying down,
21:13he was wearing an orange striped T-shirt.
21:17It's a Giant T-shirt, right?
21:19There were a lot of microphones and stuffed animals
21:22in the recital of Giant.
21:25I thought,
21:27he did his best until the end.
21:31This is not the kind of technology I want to get,
21:36but a character who will play for the rest of his life.
21:41I was able to make up my mind.
21:47I can't forget his face.
21:50If it wasn't for Mr. Tatekabe,
21:52and if it was someone else who was playing Giant,
21:54I would have never become the Giant
21:58that Mr. Subaru is playing now.
22:02I would have been lost for a long time.
22:05Because I was imitating the previous person.
22:07But Mr. Tatekabe told me that,
22:10what I was able to do now was because of Mr. Tatekabe.
22:14I'm really grateful.
22:16So I will continue to play my Giant
22:19in a grand way.
22:21I will continue to do what I learned from Mr. Tatekabe.
22:23But someday,
22:25when Mr. Subaru gives the baton to the next person,
22:28don't tell him.
22:30He talks a lot.
22:32He talks a lot, doesn't he?
22:35After this,
22:36Mr. Kimura's ambition...
22:38You made Giant a step, didn't you?
22:41I'm going to Los Angeles and New York to make a fortune.
22:46There is a field that I want to try now.
22:50Tell me clearly.
22:51What is it?
22:52My dream is big.
22:54I want to make a Hollywood debut.
22:55That's great.
22:56You can do it right away.
22:57I have a question.
22:59When the movie you played in English is released in Japan,
23:04do you want to change your role by yourself?
23:07That's great.
23:08That's wonderful.
23:09There was no one like that.
23:11If there is such a chance in the future,
23:13I want to try it.
23:14Then you should go to the audition.
23:17You made Giant a step, didn't you?
23:20Wait a minute.
23:22Even if you go to Hollywood,
23:23Giant will continue, right?
23:24Of course.
23:25That's right.
23:26That's natural.
23:27That's right.
23:28It's the most important thing.
23:29I'm counting on you.
23:30If you go to Hollywood and Giant becomes someone else,
23:32I'll go to Los Angeles or New York and beat you up.
23:35That's right.
23:36No way.
23:37Absolutely not.
23:42Cheers.
23:43Thank you very much.
23:44Thank you for the meal.
23:45Thank you very much.
23:51It's delicious.
23:52It's delicious.
23:54I want to ask you one last question.
23:55Yes.
23:56I heard that you want to buy a mountain.
23:59That's right.
24:00What do you mean?
24:02I want to buy a mountain.
24:03I want to go camping on my day off.
24:06I want to invite my friends to a barbecue.
24:09I want to have a mountain.
24:11I think it's a good idea.
24:12Do you want to buy a mountain?
24:14I want to go to the 5th floor.
24:16Do you want to buy a mountain?
24:17Yes.
24:18I'll look for a mountain.
24:20That's good.
24:21I'll help you.
24:22Really?
24:23Yes.
24:24Really?
24:25Yes.
24:27This program was brought to you by SUNTORY.
24:35Do you have a dream?
24:37Do you want a mountain?
24:38Yes.
24:39I don't have one.
