00:00Episode 2
00:02Hello.
00:04Oh, it's started.
00:06Oh, it's started.
00:07I heard about it.
00:08I was surprised when it first came out.
00:11It's started.
00:13When Riku was 19 or 20 years old,
00:18there was a movie called Children Who Want to Die.
00:21I played the role of Kuraku,
00:24and I had a lot to do with it.
00:27It was a very private and casual relationship.
00:30Yes, it was.
00:32You two had a close relationship.
00:34I could feel it.
00:35You two have been together since you were little.
00:37Was I 9 years old?
00:38I think you were 8 years old.
00:39I was 9 years old.
00:42I was 3 years younger than you.
00:43Yes, you were 3 years younger than me.
00:45It's been a long time since we've met.
00:47We have the same age.
00:48I played the role of Takemichi in Tokyo Revengers.
00:53I was one of the five members of the Tokyo Revengers.
00:58Just during the pandemic,
01:01the self-isolation period started,
01:04and the shooting stopped for two months.
01:07We played games together every day for two months.
01:12We played games together every day for two months.
01:14Because of the coronavirus,
01:16I lost my job.
01:18I couldn't go out.
01:20We played games together for two months.
01:26We were so close to each other.
01:28We were like brothers and sisters.
01:32It was more private than work.
01:36Riku was like that, too.
01:37If you didn't have those two months,
01:40you might not be here now.
01:42That's right.
01:45It's been a while since I made the movie,
01:51and I've been thinking about it since then.
01:55I see.
01:56I quit.
01:58I quit world domination.
02:00Takumi Kitamura's first short film,
02:04World Domination.
02:06Kitamura planned and wrote the script
02:09for the soundtrack of Wonder Boy.
02:14Is there any meaning to this short film?
02:17It's not as easy as you think.
02:19Riku Hagiwara plays Kanata,
02:22a passionate young man who spends his life as a salaryman.
02:25He has appeared in many popular films
02:27and plays a wide range of roles.
02:29He is active in various genres,
02:31such as variety shows.
02:33You're dark.
02:35Hinata Todo plays Hoshino,
02:37a colleague of Kanata,
02:39who has a bright and cheerful company.
02:42Mr. Kitamura fell in love with his talent
02:44and made a name for himself in this film.
02:47When I was in the 6th grade,
02:49I appeared in a film directed by Oguri Shun,
02:51a director named Ishwari Samude.
02:53I was just a cool elementary school student.
02:56I admired his coolness.
02:59When I read the magazine,
03:01it was all written there.
03:03I want to be a director.
03:05I want to be a director.
03:07That's what happened.
03:09I met him.
03:10I talked to him every day for two months.
03:12I want to be a director.
03:14That's how I met him.
03:18His life is very interesting.
03:21He's been a surfer since he was in elementary school.
03:24He surfed before going to elementary school.
03:28The waves are good in the morning.
03:31He only appears in dramas.
03:33He's the main character of a drama.
03:35It's very interesting.
03:38Talk about your life so far.
03:42I joined the agency when I was 15 years old.
03:48I did a commercial there.
03:51I quit right away.
03:53When I decided to go to college,
03:57I thought I wanted to be an actor.
04:00I did a lot of acting.
04:02I did it for about 6 years.
04:05I played the role of Katsuyagi in Revengers.
04:10I thought I wasn't the role of Katsuyagi.
04:13I played the role of Katsuyagi.
04:15I played the role of Katsuyagi.
04:18He laughed a lot.
04:20He said,
04:21I'm the main character.
04:23I played the role of Miwa.
04:26I played the role of Miwa.
04:28I said,
04:30I can't make a low voice.
04:33I was tired.
04:35You're tired.
04:37I was tired.
04:39I said,
04:40I can't make a low voice.
04:42Please read this.
04:44I read Miwa-san's script.
04:46I said,
04:47I vowed.
04:49I said,
04:50Ekubo, are you sure?
04:52He said,
04:53I'm not sure.
04:54I said,
04:55It's okay.
04:57What an interesting reaction.
05:00I've never heard that.
05:02I've never experienced anything like that with her.
05:05It's amazing.
05:06It's crazy.
05:07I'm very lucky.
05:10She found me.
05:12When I was in elementary school, I was a surfer.
05:15But when I was in elementary school, I wanted to be a director.
05:18When I was in elementary school, I wanted to meet Yoshio Kojima.
05:21That's all I wanted to do.
05:23That's so funny.
05:24And now you're doing a show with Yoshio Kojima.
05:26That's amazing.
05:27It's like a dream come true.
05:28That's all I wanted to do when I was in elementary school.
05:31It's the best.
05:32I don't think I'll ever see her again.
05:35I have to join the entertainment industry.
05:37That's amazing.
05:38She's the best.
05:40I've known her since I was a kid.
05:42Is she a child actor?
05:43Is she a child actor?
05:44I really admire people like Riku.
05:47There are people who call me the best.
05:51She's one of the best.
05:53That's right.
05:54I've never thought about it.
05:56I want to meet her.
05:57I've never thought about it.
05:58It's easy to understand when you say positive.
06:02I've been doing it for a year or two.
06:05I've been doing it for a year or two.
06:07I've been doing it for a year or two.
06:10I don't remember exactly.
06:12I only had one commercial.
06:16After that, I became a member of OKAREMON.
06:18I became a member of OKAREMON.
06:21When I was in elementary school,
06:23I didn't play a lot of games.
06:25I was a member of the Extra.
06:28I learned a lot about society.
06:30I learned a lot about society.
06:32I learned a lot about society.
06:34I learned a lot about society.
06:38He's not an actor.
06:40He's a young man who likes sports and variety.
06:45The first commercial we did together was a mini version.
06:55I said, wow.
06:57I said, wow.
07:04I said, yes.
07:07We started with that.
07:09We started with that.
07:24We started with that.
07:43I don't think these two people understand each other.
07:49I don't think these two people understand each other.
07:52It's a perfect match.
07:54It's a perfect match.
07:56It's like Hoshino and Kanata.
07:58It's like Hoshino and Kanata.
08:00Hinata is a very bright person.
08:02Hinata is a very bright person.
08:04But when I get closer to him,
08:06I feel like he's a dark person.
08:08I feel like he's a dark person.
08:10But Riku is the strongest.
08:13No, I'm not the strongest.
08:15I'm the strongest.
08:16I'm the strongest.
08:18We live with a lot of worries.
08:23What do you worry about?
08:25Everything.
08:26It's easy to feel.
08:28It's easy to feel.
08:30People's eyes.
08:32People's eyes.
08:34People's eyes.
08:36People's eyes.
08:38People's eyes.
08:40People's eyes.
08:42People's eyes.
08:44People's eyes.
08:46I think it's a good thing.
08:48I'm not worried.
08:49I'm not worried.
08:51I'm the strongest.
08:53I'm the strongest.
08:55I'm in trouble.
08:57I can't stand worrying.
09:01I can't stand worrying.
09:03Riku, you have a good life.
09:07Riku, you have a good life.
09:08There's work, so you can live it.
09:10There's work, so you can live it.
09:12I think so.
09:14I was like, this is how I live my life, this is how I work.
09:18I live for my job, and I get killed for my job.
09:22That's the kind of person you are, Takumi.
09:24This is how you live your life, this is how you work.
09:26So recently, I took a break from being an actor.
09:30Oh, you took a break.
09:31Yes, yes.
09:32Until now, I've always had this attitude.
09:34You've always been like this.
09:35I've always been on the move.
09:37So I said, let's take a break from being an actor.
09:42Interestingly, my sense of self-esteem went down.
09:46It went down?
09:47I felt impatient for the first time.
09:49I was like, what am I supposed to do?
09:51It went down.
09:52It went down.
09:53But still, being a director who left the world was really big for me.
09:58Even looking at my future.
10:01So the three of us went to a movie festival.
10:04We drank, right?
10:05We drank.
10:06That time was also very thoughtful.
10:09The three of us, here, could talk freely.
10:13It's a thoughtful act.
10:14I've always been thoughtful.
10:16You're always thoughtful and happy.
10:19I'm happy.
10:20The drama Two Days and One Night is called The Man of Fate.
10:23He's going to audition?
10:25He's going to audition?
10:26Oh my god.
10:27He's drinking?
10:28He's falling?
10:29He lost?
10:31The Man of Fate
10:35Have you ever encountered a work that changed your life?
10:41When I was in elementary school, I learned about the job of an actor.
10:46It was Death Note.
10:48Death Note.
10:49Tatsuya Fujiwara.
10:50The waves weren't good.
10:52Cool. The waves weren't good.
10:54I didn't go in the morning.
10:56I watched a movie in the afternoon.
10:59No, not in the afternoon.
11:00And then Death Note.
11:01You didn't go to school.
11:03Because the waves weren't good.
11:05I watched it in the afternoon.
11:06It was very energetic.
11:08Mr. Fujiwara is an energetic person.
11:10I thought it was really cool.
11:12I started to be aware of the role of an actor.
11:16I...
11:18I have a few works in terms of turning points.
11:23There was a Japanese drama called The Man of Destiny a few decades ago.
11:28I remember going to the audition for The Man of Destiny.
11:31Really?
11:32I had a mind to meet a famous person at that time.
11:37I went to a place where there was no child actor.
11:44It was basically a place where only adults were.
11:47Wow, he's going to audition.
11:49He's going.
11:51I was so nervous since then.
11:53He's going.
11:54He's falling.
11:56He's losing.
11:58He's losing.
12:00If Takumi was there, I wouldn't be here right now.
12:04He's a child actor.
12:06I felt like he was acting as an actor.
12:13At that time, I wanted to try acting for the first time.
12:19It was too early.
12:22I quit my previous office.
12:24That's amazing.
12:26I quit.
12:28At that time, Masaki Suda was acting as an older brother.
12:34I wanted to go to Masaki Suda's office.
12:37That's amazing.
12:38That's why you want to go now.
12:40I see.
12:41I don't remember exactly, but when I heard my story at that time,
12:48a 12-year-old boy named Lancer said,
12:53What kind of office is this?
12:56Is it a good office?
12:58If I'm going to do it, I want to follow him.
13:02I want to go there.
13:04So I sent him to a good office.
13:06We were able to get along and get in.
13:09Since then, I've been watching Suda's work and learning.
13:19I was too free during the summer vacation.
13:22At that time, Suda was playing the role of Yukio Ninagawa.
13:27I went to the rehearsal every day from the first day to the actual performance.
13:31That's a lot of action.
13:34I sat diagonally behind Mr. Ninagawa.
13:38He may have thought I was his grandchild.
13:41He's a man who's been moving forward.
13:45That may have been the case for a long time.
13:47Do you have anything you're interested in?
13:50Do you have anything you're interested in?
13:53I have a lot of things.
13:56The one thing that changed my life was Kimi Sui.
14:01Speaking of my current self,
14:05I was 19 years old at that time.
14:07I never thought I'd get an academy degree.
14:11I think we can show our parents a lot of things.
14:17That's right.
14:19I think that's a good life.
14:23I've been feeling that a lot lately.
14:26I've been watching Takumi's movies lately.
14:29I've been able to go to a lot of places.
14:33My parents have been supporting me for a long time.
14:37I've been getting a lot of messages from my parents.
14:42I'm really happy.
14:46I'm really happy.
14:48My parents told me to quit acting.
14:51My mom was supporting me.
14:55My dad told me that I was a man.
14:59My dad told me that I couldn't be an actor.
15:05My dad supports me a lot now.
15:08I'm going to cry.
15:10After I became an adult,
15:13I suddenly realized that I had to thank my parents again.
15:17I didn't realize it, so I couldn't do it.
15:20I've never been opposed to what I'm doing.
15:25I had to decide whether to go to college or not.
15:32To be honest, I was scared.
15:34I was thinking about not going to college.
15:39At that time, I didn't have enough to eat.
15:46I didn't know what would happen.
15:49I was scared to say that I wouldn't go to college.
15:54That's pretty scary.
15:56I didn't tell my parents that I wouldn't go to college.
16:00I didn't tell my parents that I wouldn't go to college.
16:05As a result, I couldn't say that I would go to college.
16:11But I couldn't stop myself from going to college.
16:17I couldn't say that I would go to college.
16:20I don't have children.
16:23When I was born, I was told that I wanted to be an actor.
16:28What should I do?
16:31There were a lot of so-called second-generation actors around me.
16:39I've heard a lot about their struggles.
16:46So I became a so-called second-generation actor.
16:51But I decided on a rule.
16:55I decided not to use my name.
16:59I decided to do my best with my own strength.
17:02And I decided to be grateful for the meeting.
17:05This is difficult.
17:07When I started thinking about this, I thought it was amazing that you didn't say anything.
17:13I think it's a value that makes you happy.
17:18I think it's a value that makes you happy.
17:22I think it's a value that makes you happy.
17:26What do you do on your days off?
17:29What do you do on your days off?
17:33I like to watch the sunset.
17:39I grew up in the south, so the sea is very beautiful.
17:44I grew up listening to music in such a place.
17:48It may be cold.
17:50It's a little cold to talk about us.
17:54I've been playing games all the time.
17:57Games are the only thing I can do without work.
18:05I've been playing games since I was a kid.
18:08It's a job you can leave behind.
18:10It's a job you can leave behind.
18:12There's nothing useful in it.
18:15That's right.
18:16But when I do other things, I don't mean to say that I'm perfect.
18:26But no matter what I see, I can feel it.
18:30I understand.
18:31M-1 was very exciting.
18:33There were people who said,
18:36I learned acting from a comedian named Ramenz.
18:43Did you learn from Ramenz?
18:46There was a party from the same generation from 17 to 19.
18:59I learned acting from Ramenz.
19:04We were all watching Ramenz.
19:07I thought it was amazing.
19:10I know a little bit about it.
19:14I'm not a comedian, but I learned acting from a sports player.
19:18You're lying.
19:19I'm not lying.
19:20You're lying.
19:21I'm not lying.
19:22You're lying.
19:23Sports players are...
19:24Sports players are sports.
19:26What I've been doing a lot is to look at the contents of the game for the first time.
19:32Do you look at the audience at the second time?
19:35I want to know what the audience will be like.
19:39I want to know if the audience is irritated.
19:41I've been thinking about it.
19:43I like to see people who are relaxed.
19:47When there are no orders at a restaurant, I like to watch the clerk.
19:54I like to watch TV.
19:55I like to watch TV.
19:56I like to watch TV.
19:59Rather than looking at the audience.
20:02Do you have anything else you'd like to say?
20:05This might be a little off topic,
20:07but my favorite phrase is
20:09Mamba Mentality.
20:12Kobe Bryant, a NBA player,
20:16used this phrase to express how he feels about basketball.
20:22He said it's very simple.
20:25Let's do it every day so that tomorrow will be better than today.
20:32He was into basketball,
20:34but when we practice on the field,
20:40we can do it all.
20:44That's how I can get through everything.
20:49This leads to tomorrow.
20:51Success and failure,
20:53things you couldn't do,
20:56all of them lead to tomorrow.
20:59If you don't do it, it leads to the next day.
21:01If you think about it now, it's a mental breakdown.
21:05There's no point in thinking about it anymore.
21:07That kind of mentality.
21:10Recently, there's been a lot of social media.
21:13There's been a lot of hate comments.
21:15It's easier to hear people's voices.
21:20He's been in the arena since he was a kid.
21:25He's been there all the time.
21:26I can't beat him.
21:27That's why you admire him.
21:30I'm so excited.
21:32Right?
21:34Even if you're not used to it,
21:36you want to aim for it.
21:40It's very arrogant,
21:43but I can understand what Kobe is saying.
21:50You can relate to him.
21:51I think it's normal to understand.
21:54He only said normal things.
21:57He was just looking for basketball.
22:00It's the same for everyone.
22:03I'm sure there's something you're addicted to.
22:06It's amazing how much you believe in one thing.
22:11If it's Kobe, it's basketball.
22:15I've been doing it since I was a kid.
22:20The hurdle to quit this world is very low for me.
22:25I've been doing nothing for eight years.
22:29I've never had a part-time job.
22:31I haven't either.
22:33Right.
22:35I've been told that there's a future for children.
22:39It's only been eight years.
22:42Do you want to live a different life?
22:46Yes, I do.
22:47You don't want to quit this job?
22:48I don't think I'd give up.
22:52I think it's possible to start a bakery when I'm 60.
22:58I can imagine that.
23:01But I think it's a miracle
23:05that I like acting and being a director.
23:12I think it's a miracle that I've been doing this for 20 years.
23:17I've been doing this for 20 years.
23:22I've been doing this for 20 years.
23:26I wanted to quit.
23:27I was frustrated.
23:30I didn't have a job.
23:33But I'm still doing it.
23:36It's amazing.
23:38I'm glad to hear that.
23:39I think I've met a lot of people who are more fortunate than I was when I was a teenager.
23:51I think I have the power to continue.
23:54It's about time.
23:56Do you have anything to say?
23:58I forgot what I was talking about.
24:00But it was fun.
24:03I'm embarrassed.
24:05I think I'm saying a lot of bad things.
24:08I like it when you say bad things.
24:10I'm not good at saying bad things.
24:13Thank you very much.
24:15Have a great day.
