00:00The reason why I live in Japan.
00:07Today's guest has arrived.
00:12Mousetrap cheese can only be found in a mousetrap.
00:16Free cheese can only be found on a mousetrap.
00:20There is nothing more expensive in Japan.
00:24No.
00:25I have lived in Japan for 30 years.
00:31Far East Japan.
00:33Why do I live in Japan?
00:38Because I am a foreigner, I can see the beauty of Japan.
00:46We will know the charm of Japan.
01:00Mousetrap cheese can only be found in a mousetrap.
01:10Look at this.
01:14This is only found in Japan.
01:17This is a colorful manhole.
01:20Isn't this cute?
01:21This is cute.
01:23I can see the beauty of Japan.
01:25Who started this?
01:28It is peaceful to paint and decorate with a manhole.
01:35That's why there are so many people.
01:39Ryuda Shitinitsuka.
01:41He is 48 years old.
01:45His hometown is 7,800 km away from Japan.
01:51Hollywood, Donetsk, Ukraine.
01:56It looks like this.
01:59He was born in 1976 to his father and mother.
02:06He spent his childhood in the Soviet Union.
02:12He was a naughty boy.
02:15This is cute.
02:18He came to Japan three years after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
02:23He lives in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture.
02:32Look at this.
02:34This is Kawaguchi Auto Race.
02:37This is a very famous auto race track.
02:39One of the reasons I opened this shop is because of this track.
02:44I was looking forward to the customers of the auto race track.
02:47I thought they would be my customers.
02:51Ryuda runs a restaurant.
02:55This is my restaurant.
02:57It's called Pelmeni Boutique.
02:59Pelmeni is a Ukrainian restaurant.
03:02I named it Pelmeni Boutique.
03:07At first, it was a Russian dish.
03:11Many people ask me what a Ukrainian dish is.
03:18I opened this restaurant on February 23, 1922.
03:23It was a day before the invasion of the Soviet Union.
03:26The war was not over yet.
03:29I thought this restaurant was serious.
03:33So I changed it from a Russian dish to a Ukrainian dish.
03:36I'll show you around.
03:38Let's go.
03:42Hello.
03:45Hello.
03:47Are you a staff member?
03:50Yes, I am.
03:51There is a counter and a table in the back.
03:55It's a little small.
04:00I thought about the design.
04:02Is this a sign?
04:05Yes, this is a sign.
04:07Who is working with you?
04:09She is Olga.
04:11Olga?
04:12She is young.
04:14She is young.
04:15She is Russian.
04:16Is she Russian?
04:20Olga has lived in Japan for 14 years.
04:23She became friends with Ryuda as soon as she came to Japan.
04:29They have been working together since two months after the restaurant opened.
04:34I think the war is a bad thing.
04:37I want the war to end soon.
04:40We are friends, so we don't care about the war.
04:44She is Russian and I am Ukrainian.
04:46We don't care about the war at all.
04:49The specialty of the restaurant, Pelmeni, is a Ukrainian dumpling.
04:56The meat is the standard.
04:59Ryuda's specialty is the original salmon.
05:03It looks delicious.
05:05It looks delicious.
05:12It's delicious.
05:13Ryuda's bright color is beautiful.
05:18Of course, it's beautiful.
05:21It's close to the restaurant.
05:24It's beautiful.
05:28Say something interesting.
05:30You don't have to say something so obvious.
05:33It's a harsh comment.
05:35I see.
05:37Do you like the atmosphere of the restaurant?
05:39Yes.
05:41The peace of Japan found by Ukrainians.
05:46This is Minami Hatogaya Elementary School in Kawaguchi.
05:51In Minami Hatogaya and Kawaguchi, there are many elementary, middle and high schools.
05:59Is that so?
06:00In such a place, it's safe and peaceful.
06:05It may be a natural scenery.
06:09But it's peaceful for Ukrainians.
06:13It may be a natural scenery for Ukrainians.
06:24But it's peaceful for Ukrainians.
06:26I think it's important.
06:32Why do I live in Japan?
06:41Nice to meet you. I'm Kasanori Takahashi.
06:42I'm Miki Handa.
06:43Nice to meet you.
06:47I'm Ryuda Shichinitsuka.
06:49Ryuda Shichinitsuka?
06:51Yes.
06:52Ryuda's home country is Ukraine.
06:54It's still a difficult situation.
06:56Yes, it is.
06:58I have relatives and friends.
07:01So I'm very worried.
07:03I see.
07:04Ryuda's hometown is Horryuka in Donetsk Region, east of Ukraine.
07:11Let's check the location.
07:16It's quite east of Ukraine.
07:18I've heard the word Donetsk Region in the news.
07:21Yes, it's Horryuka.
07:23But it's still occupied by Russia.
07:28Don't you have any family in the town?
07:30No, my family has left the town.
07:34Ryuda's hometown Horryuka used to be like this.
07:41It must be cold.
07:42Yes, it is.
07:43It must be cold in winter.
07:44When I was there, it was minus 25 degrees Celsius.
07:48Do you have an air conditioner?
07:50No, we don't have an air conditioner.
07:54We have a pipe attached to the wall at home.
07:58Hot water flows from the pipe.
08:00So we keep the house warm.
08:02It's okay in winter.
08:05Ryuda, Horryuka has a lot of memories.
08:08Let's take a look at the recent photos.
08:17Ukraine is a beautiful country with a lot of nature.
08:23Let's take a look at Ukraine again.
08:29Ukraine has more than 40 million people.
08:32It's beautiful.
08:34It's 1.6 times larger than Japan.
08:37It's rich in nature.
08:39It became independent in 1991 after the collapse of the former Soviet Union.
08:44The color of the flag represents the blue sky and the yellow of wheat fields.
08:49It is also called the bread basket of Europe.
08:53Ukraine has a lot of historical cemeteries, including the capital Kiev.
08:57Ukraine is a beautiful landscape.
09:01There is a tunnel of love, which is said to grant wishes when lovers walk on the green tracks.
09:08It's beautiful.
09:12Pink Lake, which has changed color due to a special effect, is located in the southern Crimea Peninsula.
09:20It's amazing.
09:21Is it the color of nature?
09:23Yes.
09:24It's amazing.
09:25The movie starring Sophia Loren, which is set in Ukraine, is a hit in Japan with the theme of war and peace.
09:36In Ukraine, the sunflower of the country is a symbol of peace.
09:42It's a beautiful place.
09:45How many years have you lived in Japan?
09:4830 years.
09:4930 years?
09:50Yes.
09:51That's a long time.
09:52That's true.
09:53Let's take a look at why Ryuda, a Ukrainian, has lived in Japan for 30 years.
10:01Ryuda was the leader of the Brezhnev Initiative.
10:05He was born in 1976 in the old Soviet Union.
10:11Here is a picture of him when he was a child.
10:14So cute.
10:15Is your mother human?
10:18So smooth.
10:19She's almost like a talkative child.
10:20Every time a child says something different last words to him, he says it in a different voice.
10:24He's internationalism genius Ryuda.
10:26Yes, he is.
10:27The film starring 2 of the main characters is red queda.
10:29Red Queda?
10:30Red Queda runs a TV program.
10:31Welcome to Russia.
10:32Are you a guest?
10:33The movie stars the beautiful Yemenova's personality in the hope of entrenching the popular capital.
10:36What borns each episode could be another episode.
10:37The story proceeds according to the problems of people like Ryuda himself.
10:38So pretty!
10:39How many years have you lived in Japan?
10:40The movie stars the beautiful Yemenova's personality in the hope of entrenching the popular capital
10:45How old is your brother?
10:47He's 9 years older than me.
10:49What a wonderful family.
10:51Two brothers.
10:53The family had a peaceful life,
10:56but when Ryuda was 7 years old,
10:58his father, Mr. Urajimiru,
11:01had an accident at work and couldn't go home.
11:05I see.
11:07It must have been hard for you.
11:09Yes, it was.
11:11Who raised you?
11:13I worked at a food warehouse
11:17to manage the refrigeration system.
11:19I worked there for a long time.
11:21I see.
11:22We were raised there.
11:24What kind of person was Ryuda?
11:26He was very mischievous,
11:28and he was very bad to you.
11:30He often made you and your friends cry.
11:33I think I know what you mean.
11:36I think so, too.
11:38He was a power worker.
11:41He was powerful in a good way.
11:43Yes, he was.
11:45What is your favorite landscape in Ukraine?
11:53This is the motherland.
11:55Yes, it is.
11:57This is my mother's hometown,
11:59Ternopil.
12:01When I stand here alone,
12:03I feel like I can't say anything.
12:07I'm speechless.
12:09It's amazing.
12:11It's like destiny.
12:13Yes, it is.
12:15This is Ryuda when he was 7 years old.
12:19It's very cute.
12:21He has a big ribbon on his hair, too.
12:24Yes, he does.
12:26It means that he is a good boy.
12:28His parents raised him well,
12:30so he is a good boy.
12:32I see.
12:34When you were in Hollywood,
12:36did you have an image of Japan?
12:39At that time, Japanese electronics and cars
12:43were at the top of the world.
12:47Everyone knew about the quality.
12:50Everyone knew about Japanese electronics.
12:53In 1989, when Ryuda was 13 years old,
12:58this was the most fashionable one.
13:01It was made in Japan.
13:04Oh, it's a bear.
13:06Yes, it is.
13:07Was this sold in the Soren era?
13:09No, it wasn't.
13:11It was only sold in black markets.
13:17My friend got it.
13:20When he saw it,
13:22he hung it from his neck
13:24and walked around like this.
13:26He thought it was cool.
13:28Even when the batteries ran out,
13:30he wore it as a school uniform.
13:32He wore it as a school uniform.
13:34In 1991, when Ryuda was 15 years old,
13:38the Soren collapsed.
13:40This is Ryuda when he was 15 years old.
13:45When you look over there,
13:47there are many people like him.
13:50He must be popular.
13:52I don't know.
13:54He is popular.
13:56Yes, he is popular.
13:59Three years after the independence of Ukraine in 1991,
14:04Ryuda graduated high school.
14:07At 17, he suddenly came to Japan.
14:11Suddenly?
14:13At that time, he was in contact with Japan,
14:15but he was a walkman.
14:17He was a walkman.
14:19He was a walkman.
14:21He was a walkman.
14:24After graduating high school,
14:26Ryuda wanted to go abroad.
14:28He wanted to go abroad.
14:30The education committee,
14:32which had his mother's support,
14:34decided to pay for his study abroad to Japan.
14:36He jumped to that story.
14:40So, Ryuda went to a Japanese language school in Ikebukuro, Tokyo
14:43and lived near there.
14:45He went to a Japanese language school in Ikebukuro, Tokyo
14:47and lived near there.
14:49He went to a Japanese language school in Ikebukuro, Tokyo
14:51and lived near there.
14:53How was your first time in Japan?
14:55There were a lot of things that were not in Ukraine.
14:58It was not real.
15:00So,
15:01I was very excited.
15:03Let's introduce the things that made you excited
15:06when you first came to Japan.
15:09This is the first thing you saw when you arrived at Narita Airport.
15:14What is it?
15:15An airplane?
15:16On the right side,
15:17there is a boarding bridge.
15:19This is my first time.
15:21Me too.
15:22On the left side,
15:24there is a track.
15:26You can get off from there
15:28and transfer to another bus or
15:30get on the train directly.
15:32This is very comfortable.
15:34You can enter the building
15:36as soon as you get out of the bus.
15:38It's amazing.
15:40It's convenient on rainy days.
15:42It's convenient on rainy days.
15:44It's convenient on rainy days.
15:46I thought it was amazing.
15:48I was very excited.
15:50What made you excited when you saw the scenery from the car?
15:53This?
15:54That's right.
15:55I thought,
15:56this is something that human power can't do.
15:59It's amazing.
16:00What made you excited when you saw the scenery from the car?
16:03What made you excited when you saw the scenery from the car?
16:08This?
16:09That's right.
16:10You can see it from the highway.
16:13There are a lot of cars lined up
16:15in the same direction.
16:17They are lined up neatly.
16:19This is something that human power can't do.
16:22I thought,
16:23I thought,
16:26I thought,
16:29I thought,
16:31Japan is advancing in technology.
16:34That's why I had that image.
16:37Is that so?
16:38What about food in Japan?
16:40In Ukraine,
16:42I wasn't interested in food.
16:45I was hungry.
16:47If I was hungry, I would eat a little bit for my body.
16:50I didn't think it was that good.
16:52But when I came to Japan, I realized how good it was.
16:56I got excited again.
16:58Everything.
16:59At first, I ate cup noodles.
17:01The first thing I ate was cup noodles.
17:03Soba, udon, and sushi.
17:06The most delicious thing was karaage.
17:08Karaage.
17:09This is amazing.
17:10I thought everything was delicious for the first time.
17:13You thought it was fun to eat.
17:15Yes, it was fun.
17:17I was supposed to study abroad for two years.
17:21But I've been studying abroad for 30 years.
17:24That's a long time.
17:26You've been studying abroad for a long time.
17:29It's amazing that you want to live in Japan for a long time.
17:33What's your charm?
17:35I like the distance between people.
17:38Even if we get along, it's not too deep or shallow.
17:44I'm protected by privacy.
17:47Does that mean you feel closer to people in Ukraine?
17:50I feel closer to people in Ukraine.
17:53Oh, really?
17:54I feel closer to people in Ukraine.
17:55I'm already tired.
17:57But when I go back to Japan, I feel like I'm back home.
18:03I feel safe.
18:05Ryuda decided to continue living in Japan.
18:09When he was 23 years old, he got married to a Japanese man.
18:15He lives in Narashino City, Chiba Prefecture, where his husband lives.
18:18He is blessed with two children.
18:22He got a divorce when he was 13 years old.
18:24Ryuda took care of his children.
18:26He is busy with childcare and work.
18:30He works hard at various jobs to raise children, such as nurses and staff at restaurants.
18:41When his eldest daughter turned 20, she opened a Ukrainian restaurant near Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, in 2022.
18:53You worked hard.
18:54Yes, I did.
18:56Did you have any relationship with Saitama?
18:58No, I didn't.
19:00Why?
19:02Where do you live now?
19:04I live in Kawaguchi City.
19:06The rent is cheaper than in Tokyo.
19:09The rent is much cheaper than in Tokyo.
19:14I was surprised.
19:16It's close to Tokyo.
19:17You started living in Kawaguchi City.
19:20Ryuda started living in Kawaguchi City in 2020.
19:24In the following year, he moved to Kawaguchi City, which is easy to live in, twice in a row.
19:30What?
19:32Kawaguchi City is easy to live in.
19:34Kawaguchi City was disliked by many people.
19:37Was it?
19:38The producer of this program lives in Kawaguchi City.
19:41I don't know why, but he disliked it.
19:47I was told to say that in the script.
19:50Everyone, it's not true.
19:53The store is not near Kawaguchi Station, is it?
19:57It's not near Kawaguchi Station.
20:00It's near Minami Hatogaya.
20:03I don't know where it is.
20:05Minami Hatogaya.
20:06Let's find out.
20:08Let's find out the charm of Minami Hatogaya Station in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture.
20:33Hello.
20:35Hello.
20:36Nice to meet you.
20:37Nice to meet you, too.
20:39This is Kawaguchi Station, Minami Hatogaya, Saitama Prefecture.
20:44There is a good place.
20:46I'll show you the way.
20:49This way, please.
20:55For example, Japanese people like flowers.
20:59Like this?
21:00Yes, like this.
21:02There are flowers everywhere in Japan.
21:04However, Minami Hatogaya is a local area.
21:10There are beautiful flowers in this local area, too.
21:13In Japan, people go out of the station and say,
21:17Oh, it's beautiful.
21:19I like this kind of place.
21:21That's a wonderful place in Japan.
21:25Even in the local area, people plant flowers with all their heart.
21:29That's amazing.
21:31I don't think you can see this kind of scenery in the local area.
21:35In Kadan, volunteers plant flowers and take care of them every season.
21:43It's a nice place.
21:45Yes, it is.
21:46And this is a unique residential area in Japan.
21:51Look to the left.
21:53Isn't it wonderful?
21:55This?
21:56I see this kind of thing sometimes.
21:59Yes, it is.
22:03I haven't been here for a long time.
22:04I often came back from Russia.
22:06Did you go back to Russia recently?
22:18Look to the left.
22:22Isn't it wonderful?
22:24The scenery of this town.
22:26This?
22:27The fence of the house.
22:29The plants.
22:30The design of this beautiful house.
22:33The bricks under the window are beautiful.
22:39And if you look from here,
22:41you can see this apartment.
22:44It's a little modern and fashionable.
22:46The contrast.
22:47The apartment behind?
22:49Yes, I like it.
22:51You can enjoy it.
22:53I want to live in such a place.
22:55I love this contrast.
23:01Look at this.
23:02This is a cleaning room.
23:04When I came to Japan,
23:06I was taking a video.
23:08When I looked out the window,
23:09I saw clothes hanging on the wall.
23:13There was a vinyl.
23:16I thought it might be a shop.
23:18I wondered what brand it was.
23:21When I came in,
23:23I thought it was a select shop.
23:27I thought so, too.
23:29I asked her to show me this.
23:31She said,
23:32No, no, no.
23:33She said it in Japanese.
23:34I said,
23:35I don't know.
23:36I want to see this.
23:37She said,
23:38No.
23:39When I went to the cleaning room,
23:40I found a system like this.
23:41I thought it was great.
23:43It's fast to get in.
23:44It's fast.
23:47This is my shop.
23:49Is it here?
23:50The name of the shop is Pelmeni Boutique.
23:53Pelmeni is a Ukrainian dumpling.
23:56It's a shop where you can choose Pelmeni.
23:58Pelmeni Boutique.
23:59That's the name of the shop.
24:02On February 23, two years ago,
24:04Ryuda's shop opened the day before the Russian military invasion.
24:17Hello.
24:18Hello.
24:19Hello.
24:20Hello.
24:21Are you an employee?
24:23She is Olga.
24:24Olga?
24:25Yes.
24:26Russia.
24:27Russia?
24:28Yes.
24:29Why did you come to Japan?
24:30I came to Japan because my husband is Japanese.
24:34Is your husband married to a Japanese woman?
24:37Yes.
24:39Olga, who was born in the Ural region of Russia,
24:41came to Japan 14 years ago.
24:44Cool.
24:46At that time, she met Ryuda in Japan and became friends with him.
24:50What a couple.
24:53They have been helping each other's shop for two years.
24:57We are friends, so it doesn't matter.
24:59It doesn't matter.
25:00She is Russian and I am Ukrainian.
25:02It doesn't matter at all.
25:05That's right.
25:06Olga is a very important person to me.
25:10It doesn't matter if the country and the country are fighting.
25:13It doesn't matter.
25:14That's right.
25:16The two of them always prepare Ukrainian dumplings, pelmeni.
25:21You are beautiful.
25:22Yes, I am.
25:24I am very beautiful.
25:27You are beautiful even if you wear that hat.
25:29Yes.
25:34In the Soviet era, there were many shops called pelmeni.
25:39Pelmeni?
25:40Yes, that's right.
25:41Was it a specialty store?
25:42Yes, it was.
25:44Itadakimasu.
26:08It looks delicious.
26:09Yes, it looks delicious.
26:10I want to try it.
26:11There is such a dish in Italian cuisine, isn't there?
26:13Yes, there is.
26:14It's either sour cream or vinegar.
26:17Vinegar or sour cream.
26:18You eat it sour.
26:19Yes.
26:27It's very delicious.
26:28It's very delicious.
26:30I really want to go there.
26:32Borscht, which is said to be the origin of Ukraine, is also popular.
26:35That's right.
26:43It looks delicious.
27:03This is Ukrainian cookie.
27:13Slava in Ukraine.
27:25Slava in Ukraine.
27:27Yes.
27:28Slava is a hero.
27:30Ikkida.
27:31Oh.
27:32Yes.
27:33Ikkida.
27:34Is there vodka?
27:35There is vodka.
27:36There is vodka.
27:37There is vodka.
27:39It's completely different when the camera is on.
27:41It's completely different when the camera is on.
27:43I always dance with my legs out.
27:45Oh, is that so?
27:46No, I only did it once.
27:48It's been a while.
27:50You often came back from Russia, didn't you?
27:52Yes, I came back to Russia recently.
27:54I have a mother and a son.
27:57Oh, I see.
27:58I have a mother and a son.
28:00That's right.
28:01Two of my best friends in Ukraine run a restaurant in Russia.
28:07I often go to this restaurant.
28:09I often go to this restaurant.
28:10I often go to this restaurant.
28:11I often go to this restaurant.
28:12He was shocked when he first came to this restaurant.
28:18These two are my friends.
28:22They are white girls.
28:25They look like real white people.
28:27Real white people?
28:28Real white people?
28:30I was surprised to see such a uniquetle.
28:32I've never seen something like this at the restaurant in America.
28:35It was the first time I met my wife like this in the rural area.
28:40I was nervous.
28:43She is real.
28:45She was happy.
28:46Yes, she was very happy.
28:48That was a chance.
28:49Our customers were very kind.
28:52Our customers at Kawaguchi restaurant were very kind.
28:56There are a lot of unique customers.
28:59Yes, that's right.
29:00How is the town of Kawaguchi?
29:02I don't know Kawaguchi that well.
29:06There is a foreigner who knows Kawaguchi better than I do.
29:13I was guided by that person.
29:16Is that so? Is there such a pattern?
29:18It's a new pattern.
29:21This house is my favorite person's house.
29:28The foreigner who lives in this house is...
29:32Oh, she is cute.
29:39Hello.
29:41Hello.
29:43This is actually my mother.
29:46Mother?
29:47That's right.
29:49Hello.
29:54She is cute.
29:56My mother came to Japan in May of 1922.
30:01In Japan?
30:02That's right.
30:03She came as a refugee.
30:05Is that so?
30:07Stephanie lost her husband when she was 7 years old.
30:12She raised two children with one woman.
30:17I see.
30:19She lived in the eastern part of Ukraine, Donetsk Region, for a long time.
30:26In 2014, when she was 67 years old,
30:29she was occupied by the new Russian regime.
30:34She was forced to move to Kyiv.
30:38In 2022, when the Russian military invasion began,
30:43she moved to Kyiv as a target of attack.
30:46On the first day, when I went to the store to buy something,
30:53and when I was returning home,
30:56a plane flew over me.
31:00It was very fast and low.
31:05In a few minutes, there was an explosion.
31:08That's scary.
31:11In a few seconds.
31:13Of course, I was very scared.
31:17But then I believed that it was really a war.
31:22In May of 2022,
31:24Stephanie moved to Japan with Ryuda's suggestion.
31:29She also lives in a private house provided by Mr. Kawaguchi to Ukrainian refugees.
31:36I see.
31:38I was able to meet them.
31:41I was able to escape the war.
31:44And most importantly,
31:46I was able to meet my daughter and grandchildren.
31:51I thank the Japanese people,
31:54the Japanese government,
31:57for giving me warmth and shelter.
32:05After living in Japan for two years,
32:07Stephanie, who is now enjoying Kawaguchi more than Ryuda,
32:12has a place where she can feel the beauty of Japan.
32:17This is the park where my mother often walks alone.
32:21Green Center.
32:23This is probably the eighth time.
32:25This is the eighth time.
32:27This is the sixth time.
32:29This is my first time here,
32:31so my mother will show me around.
32:34Kawaguchi Green Center is a park of flowers and greenery
32:37that is about three times the size of the Tokyo Dome.
32:42It's amazing.
32:44It's a place where citizens can enjoy colorful flowers all year round,
32:49but Stephanie has a favorite place than flowers.
32:57Oh, it's not this way.
33:04This is my favorite path.
33:07This one?
33:08Yes, this one.
33:09I want to touch it.
33:11I walk here all the time.
33:15Because it's unusual.
33:19It's not normal.
33:21This is not normal.
33:23It's still some kind of design,
33:25some kind of decoration.
33:27It's not just some kind of grass.
33:30Because there is no such thing,
33:32I feel a little different
33:34when I make Japanese nature,
33:36when I make Japanese design.
33:38I like to touch human hands
33:40and make them look more beautiful
33:42than nature.
33:49Stephanie goes around Kawaguchi City
33:52alone because she is fascinated
33:54by the natural beauty
33:56that Japanese people make.
34:00Japanese food culture
34:02is also mysterious to Stephanie.
34:08This is a supermarket
34:10where I often go with my mom.
34:12Supermarket?
34:13Yes.
34:14Let's go inside.
34:16This is an Australian restaurant.
34:18It looks like a dachshund house.
34:20Look, look, look!
34:22What is that?
34:24Ankibo.
34:26I like Ankibo.
34:28I like Ankibo, too.
34:30My mom loves Ankibo.
34:32Is there any Ankibo in Ukraine?
34:34No, there isn't.
34:36Did you like Ankibo after you came here?
34:38Yes, I did.
34:40I introduced Ankibo to my mom.
34:44It's creamy.
34:48It melts in my mouth.
34:50What do you like about Ankibo?
34:52Ponzu sauce and grated radish.
34:54It's delicious.
34:57Do you like fish?
34:59Yes, I always buy fish.
35:01I always buy fish.
35:03I don't know what it is.
35:05It's Chikuwa.
35:07I don't know what it is.
35:09I don't know what it is.
35:11It's made of fish.
35:13Is it made of fish?
35:15Be careful.
35:17I don't have it.
35:19She is trying many things.
35:21She is trying many things.
35:23She is enjoying it.
35:25Be careful
35:26She really enjoys it.
35:28It's not difficult.
35:30This is unprecedented.
35:32I'm shocked now.
35:38There are many tincmary in Ukraine now.
35:46The third year of Stayfania,
35:48a refugee who has been in Ukraine.
35:50They discussed things with their parents.
35:52I don't expect
35:54I don't know if there will be any payments.
35:57And I don't hope that the contract will be extended.
36:02You've been here until March.
36:05Oh, until May, right?
36:07Well, they said that...
36:09No, they said that...
36:11Yes, housing, yes.
36:13Yes, so what are we going to do?
36:15Stay here in Japan.
36:17And go to Ukraine as well.
36:20I don't know if there will be any payments.
36:24And I don't hope that the contract will be extended.
36:27But I still hope, I think there will be.
36:30But what kind of help should there be?
36:32Okay, they'll take your house, your apartment.
36:36There is no language barrier here at all.
36:41For example, I would like you to be here with your friends.
36:43You have friends here.
36:45And I would like you to live in Japan.
36:47I see it that way.
36:49In Ukraine too.
36:51I would like to go back to Ukraine.
36:53If I can.
36:55No, I don't want to live there.
36:57I just want to go back once in a while.
36:59When the war is over, do you want to go back to Ukraine?
37:05Of course.
37:07Or do you want to stay in Japan?
37:09I don't know.
37:11I miss Ukraine.
37:20Ryuda and Stefania's favorite scenery.
37:26This is Minoma Lake.
37:30I always walk on this road with my mother.
37:33It's nice, isn't it?
37:36This is cherry blossoms.
37:39It's very beautiful in spring.
37:41I really like it when cherry blossoms bloom.
37:44I'm so afraid of them.
37:46But it's an inspiration for me.
37:49Do you enjoy it?
37:51Yes.
37:53I feel free here.
37:56These trees...
37:58We don't have a canal, of course.
38:01But there are streets.
38:04Ukraine.
38:06Ukraine.
38:08Even this moss.
38:10This moss, right?
38:12Yes.
38:14It's very nostalgic.
38:45I feel like I'm in a fairy tale.
38:49I feel like I'm in a fairy tale.
38:54I feel like I'm in a fairy tale.
38:59I feel like I'm in a fairy tale.
39:04I feel like I'm in a fairy tale.
39:09I feel like I'm in a fairy tale.
39:33Ryuda has given me my favorite kanji characters.
39:37What is your favorite fruit, Ryuda-san?
39:41Watermelon.
39:42Watermelon with no seeds, right?
39:44Watermelon means a bird with no seeds,
39:49but I also want to live my life with no seeds.
39:56That's wonderful.
39:58Compared to 30 years ago when you first came to Japan and now,
40:04what do you think was good about Japan at that time?
40:08In the old days, there was a rotation system.
40:11For example, you could have 5 or 3 plates of the same food,
40:15but you didn't have to wait in line.
40:18You could order whatever you wanted.
40:22But now, you can't do that.
40:26It's lonely.
40:27If you order now, you'll only get what you want.
40:30It's not fun.
40:32I wish I could get that.
40:34Then I might come back again.
40:37But I was looking forward to that.
40:39It's a great rotation system.
40:41I can understand why you were looking forward to it.
40:44Let me ask you one last question.
40:47Why did you come to Japan, Ryuda-san?
40:51The distance between people is just right.
40:54It's very comfortable.
40:56I was able to help my mother a lot in Japan.
41:02I really want to thank her for that.
41:06Thank you very much for today.
41:10Next, we'll take a look at the table of smiles of a family of foreigners.
41:15This is Nippon Meshihake.
41:17About Ryuda-san's marriage, Stephanie-san's mother is very happy.
41:33This is my mother's favorite Ankimo.
41:36This is Ankimo.
41:38My mother sometimes buys it at the supermarket.
41:41I love Ankimo.
41:47Ankimo
41:54Where do you want to go?
41:56An interesting place?
41:58Where would you like to go?
42:00Do you mean anywhere in Japan?
42:02Yes, anywhere in Japan.
42:04Do you have a dream to go somewhere?
42:06Of course, I would like to go to Disneyland.
42:10What kind of attraction?
42:13I would like to go to the haunted castle.
42:17It's very realistic.
42:19I liked everything there.
42:21There is a very different studio in Osaka.
42:25Is there a studio in Kawaguchi?
42:27No, there isn't.
42:29Why?
42:31I don't think there is anything interesting in Kawaguchi.
42:42What do you think if I get married now?
42:46What do you think?
42:50Are you serious?
42:52Yes, I am.
42:54I haven't met such a person yet.
42:57What if I do?
42:59You haven't learned anything?
43:02What kind of daughter are you?
43:05I shouldn't do it, right?
43:07I shouldn't do it, right?
43:09That's right.
43:11You have to think about it seriously.
43:17I think...
43:20No matter how old you are, you can't be like your mother.
43:25Why do you live in Japan?
43:29I moved to Takarazuka.
43:32The Australian who moved to Japan because of Takarazuka is now...
43:36Actually, I don't sell meat at all.
43:40That's amazing.
43:42I want to eat meat as soon as possible.
43:45I'm not good at using my own words.
43:47KT-san's Part 2 of the reason why I live in Japan.
43:51It's just a live-action version.
43:53I'm sorry.
