00:00Do you know of the mysterious incident known as the Yokosuka Seven Mysteries?
00:06Ah, I've heard of it.
00:08This summer, the Yokosuka City Fire Department's command center.
00:15Is it a fire or an emergency?
00:17I was told to hang up here, but it smells a little.
00:21Is there smoke coming up nearby?
00:23I don't see anything like that.
00:25When you open the window, it smells like smoke.
00:29It's amazing. Even if you close the window, the smoke is still in the house.
00:34I don't like it.
00:35I don't like it.
00:37A call from all over the place.
00:42Seven minutes later, the fire department arrived at the scene.
00:46However, it was a very mysterious scene.
00:52I couldn't feel the smoke in that place.
00:56The smell disappeared without a trace.
01:03This mysterious incident is not limited to this year.
01:10I've been getting calls from all over the place since June 2020.
01:15When I got there, it didn't smell anymore.
01:18I got a call from a different direction than I expected.
01:21It's hard to predict.
01:23It doesn't smell all the time.
01:26There have been about 400 calls in the past four years.
01:32The time, time and place are all different.
01:35The source of the occurrence is still shrouded in mystery.
01:40Is it an earthquake?
01:42Or is it a Plankton abnormality?
01:44Various theories are floating around.
01:48What is the announcement of the Kanagawa Prefecture?
01:52Isopentane, pentane and butane, which are included in gasoline,
01:57have been detected at a concentration of 7 to 14 times.
02:03It was announced that a large amount of gasoline was detected from the air collected at the scene of the earthquake.
02:09The media reported that the cause was gasoline.
02:15However!
02:18Did you find a new clue?
02:23The Kanagawa Prefecture Environmental Science Center
02:26The Kanagawa Prefecture Environmental Science Center has been investigating and analyzing the earthquake.
02:30A new fact has been revealed.
02:35I don't think it's gasoline.
02:40I know that human noses can't sense at this concentration.
02:45In fact, the detected gasoline content was lower than the human brain.
02:55So we asked a smell expert for help.
03:00The existence of a substance that was not detected by the machine emerged.
03:07I think it's a chemical substance, melcaptan.
03:11Melcaptan is a gas-scented substance.
03:16Gas is odorless, so it has an unpleasant odor.
03:25In other words, the cause of the earthquake is gas, not gasoline.
03:32I see.
03:35In addition, it is suspected that a considerable amount of gas was emitted in order to spread to a large area.
03:46Where did the mysterious earthquake come from?
03:52We headed to the Yokohama Regional Meteorological Observatory.
03:55Yokohama Regional Meteorological Observatory
03:58We got a list of 20 days of weather data from Yokosuka and Miura.
04:05We checked the direction of the wind at the time of the report.
04:12I think it's between northeast to southeast and southwest to southeast.
04:18Of the 20 days, 15 days had wind from northeast to east, and 5 days had wind from southeast to southwest.
04:29In other words...
04:31Is it from above the sea?
04:34Yes, it is.
04:36What is an earthquake from above the sea?
04:41Volcano.
04:43Is that a gas tanker?
04:46We found a gas tanker in Yokosuka and Miura.
04:51We checked it.
04:54There are many ships on the Tokyo Bay, and there are about 100 red tankers a day.
05:06Is there a possibility that gas is coming out of the tanker?
05:11We visited the Japanese Shipbuilding Association.
05:18According to Mr. Murakami of the Kaiji Human Resources Department,
05:21gas tankers have a job to remove gas from the ocean surface.
05:27Gas has accumulated in the tank of the gas tanker.
05:33The gas expands due to the influence of the outside temperature, and the pressure of the tank rises.
05:38When the gas expands and the pressure of the tank rises, the gas is released and the pressure is lowered.
05:49However, this work is usually done in the south sea of Izu-Oshima before entering the Tokyo Bay.
05:57The distance is about 60 km.
06:00The answer was that the influence of the gas was done in a place where it was not possible to do it on land.
06:06That's not it.
06:12In addition, based on the sighting information of the neighboring residents,
06:19a mysterious black smoke is rising in the northeast of Yokosuka.
06:28We headed for the investigation immediately and decided to find out what the black smoke was.
06:34Oh, is that it?
06:37What we saw was an unknown artificial island.
06:43It was a fortress built in the Taisho era to defend the Tokyo Bay from the sea.
06:51What is the black smoke rising from the fortress?
06:56Huh? It's burning. It's burning a lot.
06:59It's burning a lot.
07:01Wow, the black smoke is rising.
07:03It's true.
07:05The black smoke is rising in the direction of Yokosuka.
07:13Excuse me.
07:14Yes.
07:15What are you doing now?
07:16I'm doing fire training.
07:18Fire training?
07:20Yes.
07:22On the island that used to be a fortress,
07:24there was a training facility designed to fire on the sea,
07:27called the Fire Training Center, which was supposed to be a fire on the sea.
07:35Since it is surrounded by the sea,
07:37this is the only place in Japan where you can experience such a large-scale fire training.
07:46Do you burn gas here?
07:49Yes, we do training to burn LP gas.
07:52We do training to burn LP gas.
07:57Is this the origin of the issue?
08:03We asked the person in charge.
08:07I thought it was the cause of the issue in Yokosuka.
08:10Yes.
08:11No, it's not.
08:13It's not?
08:14No.
08:15What is the reason?
08:17It's the gas leak.
08:19After the gas comes out, we set it on fire in less than a second,
08:23so it doesn't smell.
08:25I see.
08:26Although the amount of gas used is large,
08:29it is the same as in a normal household.
08:31If you set it on fire, it doesn't smell like gas.
08:35We checked to see if there was a gas leak,
08:39but there was no gas leak for 20 days after the incident.
08:46In this investigation, we couldn't find the cause of the issue.
08:52I don't know.
08:59Ms. Tokoro and Mr. Yoshino,
09:00we couldn't find the cause of the issue.
09:06It's like the ending of a two-hour drama.
09:09The cause of the issue is a mystery.
09:11It's difficult to find the cause because we can't see the smell.
09:15I see.
09:17So, today's theme is
09:19the world of smell, which is still a mystery.
09:24After this.
09:27The problem of the smell that was difficult to find has been solved.
09:32The hint is in Marilyn Monroe.
09:37It smells good.
09:38What does it mean?
09:41In addition, a super mouse with a sharper sense of smell than humans
09:46saves humanity from danger.
09:51Ms. Tokoro, it's an incident.
09:56We've only told you about the incident.
09:58That's true.
10:00We've investigated so much.
10:02It's impossible.
10:04There are small insects living by the sea.
10:07They emit a lot of gas.
10:10I see.
10:11There are a lot of smelly insects.
10:13But this time,
10:15I had a slightly different image of insects.
10:19What do you think is the cause of Yokosuka's issue?
10:22I thought it might be related to sewage.
10:28Sewage.
10:29I thought it might be related to sewage.
10:34It's been decades since it was built.
10:38It was built in the first Tokyo Olympics.
10:43It's been 50 to 60 years since then.
10:47That's why the sewage issue occurred.
10:52It's just a possibility.
10:56Ms. Tokoro, there are various kinds of sewage issues in the world.
11:01Have you ever experienced this in your baby's home?
11:06Ta-da!
11:08The smell of baby's pee.
11:11I'm almost a year old.
11:16That's cute.
11:18When I breastfeed, everything smells good.
11:23But when I start breastfeeding,
11:25the smell of baby's pee changes.
11:30I'm shocked by this.
11:32I think it smells bad.
11:35It's nostalgic.
11:36Here's a hint to solve this smell.
11:42It's the scent that Marilyn Monroe loved.
11:51They headed to Kodama, Saitama.
11:55They found something the director had.
11:58There's a vacuum cleaner.
12:00It's working.
12:02Let's go.
12:07It doesn't smell bad.
12:09It doesn't smell bad, but it smells like sweet coconut.
12:14It smells like sweet coconut.
12:17It smells like Hawaii.
12:20It smells good.
12:22It used to smell a little.
12:29We're using purified water in the vacuum pump.
12:32There's a secret to that.
12:35The secret is in this oil.
12:42It smells a little sweet.
12:45But it doesn't smell too strong.
12:48How does it work?
12:53There are many people who don't know the answer.
12:58Let's find out.
13:03They brought a cow.
13:08They spray the oil on the cow.
13:11They put the cow in the box.
13:14Let's see how many people know the answer.
13:22Eclair.
13:24Eclair.
13:25Cream puffs.
13:26It's not cream puffs.
13:29French bread.
13:31French bread.
13:33It's Japanese sweets.
13:35Japanese sweets.
13:36Please open it.
13:38What is it?
13:39What is it?
13:42Can I open it?
13:43Please open it.
13:46It's a cow poop.
13:48Is that so?
13:49It's a cow poop.
13:55All 20 people wrote down the name of the food.
13:59None of them said it smelled bad.
14:02No one got it right.
14:05What is hidden in this revolutionary oil?
14:11Did the oil company make it?
14:18Why did the company collect the oil?
14:23We asked the person in charge of the development.
14:27Mr. TSUJIMOTO has been developing a detergent that suppresses the smell of sweat and feet.
14:35He has solved all kinds of smell problems.
14:39At one time, he was asked to do this.
14:44The person in charge of the development asked me to make a detergent that removes the smell of urine.
14:51The person in charge of the development asked me to make a bag that contains the urine of artificial insemination.
14:58That's helpful.
14:59That's right.
15:02Artificial insemination is the exit to excrete urine.
15:13I want to get rid of the smell.
15:16Mr. TSUJIMOTO wants to respond to the desperate feelings of 230,000 users around the country.
15:25However, the smell of the urine was more troublesome than ever.
15:32I don't think it's unpleasant to remove 99% of the smell of sweat.
15:37But I'm worried about the smell even if I reduce 99.9% of the smell of the urine.
15:46Even if 99.9% of the urine is removed, you can still smell it.
15:54In fact, the smell of scatol and indol, which are included in the detergent, is said to detect the human sense of smell even if it is very subtle.
16:06I want people to feel the smell of my nose and smile.
16:13So I asked the Koryo manufacturer in Osaka City for help.
16:19I decided to borrow the help of a master who has saved people who have been suffering from bad breath with Koryo technology.
16:29What was the unexpected advice?
16:33I applied the method of making perfume.
16:39I fixed it with a sexy face.
16:47The secret of the perfume, which was also used by Marilyn Monroe, who became a hint to remove the smell of the urine, is in the studio.
16:59The smell of the urine is severe.
17:02Even if 99.9% of the smell is removed, you can still smell it.
17:06Even a professional perfume smeller can't completely remove the smell of the urine.
17:12It's 0.01%.
17:14If the smell of the urine remains, it will be felt by the human nose.
17:19In order not to eat rotten food, the smell of microorganisms can be felt even by a slight smell.
17:29How did Marilyn Monroe solve the problem of smell?
17:33The strategy used in this problem is not to put a lid on smelly things, but to dare to make use of them.
17:46It is also used in the perfume that Marilyn Monroe loved.
17:53This is a Koryo called Shibetto.
17:56This is a Koryo that is used to remove the urine from a weak cat.
18:04I will smell it.
18:07I'm scared to smell it.
18:15It stinks.
18:18It stinks.
18:23It doesn't smell at all.
18:25Shibetto is a so-called powder.
18:29Did you feel the smell?
18:31Smell it properly.
18:34I'm used to powder.
18:39Please explain this principle.
18:43Perfumes are made by combining various scents.
18:48Shibetto was also used in the perfume that Marilyn Monroe used.
18:54If you smell Shibetto alone, you will smell the smell of powder.
19:00However, if you mix it with the scent of Shibetto, the scent of Shibetto will stand out and become a very good scent.
19:09In this way, you can make the perfume that Marilyn Monroe loved.
19:16By using this principle, if you combine various scents with this powder, you will get a very sexy scent.
19:28How to make a scent is to change the amount of the powder little by little and mix it dozens of times.
19:36Finally, you will get a soft scent.
19:41That's a great invention.
19:43I'd like you to experience it.
19:48First, smell the scent of Shibetto.
19:55Don't let it touch your nose.
20:00It stinks.
20:03It's a artificial powder.
20:05It stinks.
20:07What are you talking about?
20:08How can you say that without saying anything?
20:12Next, smell the scent of Shibetto.
20:22It's a good scent.
20:24It's a floral scent.
20:25If you like it, you can smell it.
20:31Smell it.
20:32Do I have to smell it again?
20:35It was pretty smelly.
20:37Will it be sweet?
20:41It's great.
20:43It's a better scent than the floral scent I just smelled.
20:50It's a deep scent.
20:52That's right.
20:53The smell of the powder is strong.
20:56It's a deep scent.
21:05It is well known that animals have better sense of smell than humans.
21:09However, an unexpected animal is doing a great job to save humans from danger.
21:18What is it?
21:20The information was sent to Africa Tanzania, where many wild animals live.
21:27Let's ask the non-profit organization that continues to operate.
21:33What kind of animal is it?
21:36It's a mouse.
21:38Is it a mouse?
21:41They are saving the lives of humans all over the world.
21:47Mice are heroes.
21:53Mice are heroes.
21:58Here is the hero.
22:00African tiger mouse.
22:04It is a large animal that grows to about 40 cm in size when it becomes an adult.
22:10It's big.
22:12How do they save people?
22:16A mouse with a harness is looking around the ground for...
22:24Mud?
22:25Mud!
22:27Mud!
22:30You can find the buried place with the smell of the powder contained in the mud.
22:35That's amazing.
22:38Most people don't know about mice.
22:41Mice have amazing psychic powers.
22:44They can detect mud that has been buried in the ground for more than 30 years.
22:50What?
22:52Mice have a sense of smell and sense of smell.
22:59Mice have more sense of smell than humans and dogs.
23:03Mice can sense many kinds of smells.
23:06I didn't know that.
23:10Mice can detect mud that has been buried in the ground for more than 30 years.
23:16Mice can detect mud that has been buried in the ground for more than 30 years in just 20 minutes.
23:25Mice weigh about 1 kg.
23:28Mice don't explode even if they are buried in the ground.
23:31Mice have never had an accident.
23:34That's good.
23:37Non-profit organizations train mice.
23:42Mice are sent to 12 countries in the world where there is a problem of mud disposal such as Mozambique and Cambodia.
23:53The number of mud and explosives that have been removed so far is about 160,000.
23:59What's more,
24:02Mice are not the only thing that mice can detect.
24:06They can also see blood.
24:09What?
24:10Blood clots are a disease that occurs in about 10 million people around the world every year.
24:18Especially in African countries,
24:21the medical system is not well-organized and it is difficult to find patients.
24:30So they try to save blood clots patients again using mice's excellent sense of smell.
24:40What does this mouse smell?
24:44This hole.
24:49Mice collect blood clots from patients and put them under the cage.
24:56What?
24:58Then the mice detect the smell of blood clots one by one.
25:03They are trained to stop for more than 3 seconds in front of a suspicious object and give a signal.
25:11It's sniffing.
25:1341 mice are active in this organization's facility.
25:18They were able to find more than 30,000 blood clots patients who were overlooked in the hospital's examination.
25:25That's amazing, Oriko.
25:31Isn't the mouse amazing?
25:33It's amazing.
25:34It's the power to find food.
25:35Yes.
25:36You have to be able to find a place like this to win.
25:40In addition, various activities are carried out using the sense of smell of animals.
25:46This is Taiwan's Beagle Dog.
25:48It's cute.
25:49It's cute.
25:51It's sniffing for something.
25:54Mr. Yoshino, do you know what it's looking for?
25:56What?
25:57This.
25:59Taiwan's truffle.
26:02What is truffle?
26:04The correct answer is...
26:06Hiyari.
26:08This is Hiyari.
26:10It was discovered in Japan and became a hot topic.
26:13In fact, it has already settled in Taiwan.
26:16Is that so?
26:17Yes, that's right.
26:18This Hiyari detection dog is already active at airports and construction sites.
26:24That's great, Oriko.
26:26In fact, we are developing a bio-hybrid sensor that combines machines with animals.
26:36This is what we use.
26:39It's a mosquito.
26:40Is it a mosquito?
26:42Mosquitoes detect smell in the air with their sense of taste.
26:46That's right.
26:47So, Mr. Takeuchi uses cells that have the ability to sense the smell of mosquitoes.
26:53He puts the cells on a plate and makes them smell in the machine.
27:02And when he detects the smell, he continues to study the smell sensor that changes color like this.
27:10If we can develop a sensor that can detect the smell,
27:12I think it will lead to early detection of various textures.
27:19That's great.
27:21If you put gasoline in the river, it will come close to you.
27:26You will be stabbed by a gas station in the summer.
27:29If we continue to study this bio-hybrid sensor,
27:31we may be able to detect cancer from the smell of people's breath and urine in the future.
27:38I think this will definitely help.
27:41When we get sick, the most painful thing is a test.
27:47For example, we have to take a blood test once a week.
27:51If we can find a sensor that can detect the smell of people's breath and urine in the future,
28:01it will be very easy for people to detect it.
28:06This time, we studied the smell.
28:09I have a little problem.
28:12I like perfume and body cream with a good scent.
28:17But my husband, Azuma, is not good at it.
28:21So I can't apply it at home.
28:24When I go to work, I apply it a lot.
28:28When I got home, I asked Azuma where he was going.
28:33He was suspicious of me.
28:36You and Azuma have a different sense of smell.
28:38Shut up.
28:44Togoro, it's time for the year-end special.
28:47Lunch for 1.5 million yen.
28:50What is the identity of the world's No. 1 gourmet?
28:54I'm hungry.
28:56I'm hungry.
