00:00Now, tonight's guest is a cool actor.
00:04He has a strong role image, so I wonder what kind of person he is.
00:08He's really scary on the screen.
00:11He's powerful.
00:12He's cool.
00:13Is he going to talk today?
00:14Of course he will.
00:15He's here.
00:16Good evening.
00:17He's cool.
00:19Nice to meet you.
00:21Nice to meet you.
00:22Please come inside.
00:23When you go to various places, you tend to think it's scary.
00:27Yes.
00:28His role image.
00:29I think it's his role image, but he's usually like this, so he's not aware of himself at all.
00:35Is my face that scary?
00:37He's really scary on the screen.
00:39He's playing a role.
00:41There's nothing in it today.
00:43There's nothing in it today.
00:44It's okay.
00:45It's like a joke.
00:48Tonight's guest is actor Jun Kunimura.
00:53With his deep acting, he's a must-see actor in movies and dramas.
00:58I'll take everything.
01:00Jun Kunimura is fighting with the owner of Kato.
01:05What are you holding?
01:06I'm holding the old Porsche.
01:08NARO?
01:09You're holding NARO?
01:10I'm so proud of you.
01:12I might have bought it.
01:14He's also experienced a lot of overseas work.
01:19I'm the owner of Kato.
01:22What happened to you?
01:27Tonight, we're going to hear from Jun Kunimura, who's from Osaka, about his life.
01:34Let's get started.
01:36Kato Koji's Life's Best Restaurant.
01:40You brought a lot of small information.
01:43One?
01:44One is fine.
01:45One?
01:46You want two, right?
01:48I want three.
01:50I'm fine with half-boiled eggs.
01:53Right?
01:55I don't like toppings.
01:57No toppings?
01:59That's scary.
02:01He's a man.
02:02It's scary to eat Kunimura's ramen without toppings.
02:06Why?
02:09Tell me what you eat.
02:12I'll tell you who you are.
02:16Kato Koji's Life's Best Restaurant.
02:21Montagnole?
02:23Troisième magasin.
02:29This program is brought to you by Suntory.
02:38You're a big star.
02:40Not only in Japan, but also in the world.
02:44I think so, too.
02:46We collected some of your movies.
02:48We collected some of your movies.
02:51Black Rain is from 1989.
02:53I'm a fan of yours.
02:55Yakuza. This game is Yakuza.
02:58I want to ask you something.
03:00How was Quentin Tarantino in Kill Bill?
03:02Quentin Tarantino...
03:04You call him Quentin Tarantino?
03:06He said I can call him Quentin Tarantino.
03:08It's a masterpiece.
03:10You shot it in Japan, right?
03:12When we were preparing for Kill Bill in Japan,
03:14he said he watched a DVD of a movie whenever he had time.
03:18I was one of the people who watched it.
03:21Suddenly, he said he wanted to meet this actor.
03:24I went to his room and asked him to read this.
03:27Was it Tarantino?
03:28Oh, sorry. Was it Quentin?
03:29No, it was the same.
03:31I said, what?
03:33The situation was written on a piece of paper.
03:35I said, I'm going to play this actor.
03:37You should try it.
03:39You played Quentin Tarantino?
03:41Yes.
03:42How was Quentin's acting?
03:44Quentin's acting was...
03:46I didn't have time to watch Quentin's acting.
03:50It was almost like an audition.
03:52Wow.
03:53Did you think it was okay?
03:55I asked him if he had a schedule.
03:58I said, what do you think of this actor?
04:00He said, he's a very stereotypical Yakuza.
04:02You said it clearly.
04:04What did Quentin say?
04:06I said, wait.
04:09I like the series, Crime City.
04:12I've watched all the series.
04:14I thought he was going to play Shimada.
04:17He has a strong voice and face.
04:25His voice, too.
04:27Let's move on.
04:29Where should we start?
04:31He's cheap and good.
04:34Jun Kunimura's story of the most delicious food in his life.
04:39First, Osaka soul food that he has been particular about since he was a child.
04:46This is at the Tenjinbashisui shopping street in Osaka.
04:50It's called Okonomiyaki Chigusa.
04:52Okonomiyaki Chigusa?
04:53Is it Okonomiyaki because it's in Osaka?
04:55Osaka kids have been eating Okonomiyaki and Takoyaki since they were little.
05:00Is that a given?
05:02It's always in their daily lives.
05:05I don't know why, but it's ingrained in me.
05:09That's why I'm particular about the taste of Okonomiyaki.
05:13This is more delicious than that.
05:16I can't get rid of it even when I grow up.
05:19Is this the taste you have?
05:22I go to this restaurant when I want to eat Okonomiyaki in Osaka.
05:27Do you think it's the most delicious?
05:29It's up to me.
05:31It's about Okonomiyaki, so if there are 10 people, it's different.
05:34Is it that different?
05:36Are you particular about Okonomiyaki?
05:38I want to eat cabbage.
05:42The dough is thin enough to connect the cabbage.
05:47The way the cabbage is chopped changes the taste.
05:50When I make Okonomiyaki, I cut it square.
05:55Not a line?
05:57I want to keep the presence of cabbage.
06:01Is it similar to that?
06:03Chigusa's Okonomiyaki has a small square.
06:07This is a big shopping district.
06:10It's the longest in Japan.
06:12I usually shoot a program in Osaka here.
06:16It's in this.
06:18I'm going into the alley.
06:20One from here?
06:22It says Chigusa.
06:25It's a good alley.
06:27It's a new restaurant.
06:29It's like Asadora.
06:31It's true.
06:33It's been 49 years.
06:35Do you put squid in it?
06:37I like squid.
06:39There are squid in Okonomiyaki and Yakisoba.
06:42The squid is delicious.
06:44The cabbage is big.
06:48Okonomiyaki doesn't cook for customers.
06:52They grill it here.
06:54Everyone used to do it themselves.
06:57It's up to you.
06:59You can grill it as you like.
07:01It looks delicious.
07:03This is squid.
07:05It looks delicious.
07:07It looks delicious.
07:09It's good that it's not fashionable.
07:11I'm rude to the shopkeeper.
07:13Osaka people usually eat it with a pan.
07:17I don't put it on a plate and eat it.
07:21Weren't you interested in acting?
07:23When I was young.
07:25I used to be an engineer.
07:28I studied engineering.
07:32I like cars.
07:34Do you like cars?
07:36I've seen it many times in a car magazine.
07:38It's in the magazine.
07:40It's in the magazine.
07:42I like it.
07:44You like it.
07:46I like it.
07:48What do you sell?
07:50I have a 964.
07:52Do you have a NARO?
07:54Do you have a NARO?
07:56I'm proud of you.
07:58Because you like cars.
08:00I bought it.
08:02Is it amazing?
08:04You can't ride a NASCAR.
08:06You don't have a car, do you?
08:08Of course I don't have a car.
08:10I have a NARO.
08:12I have a 930 and a 964.
08:14I have a 964.
08:16I can ride it.
08:18You like cars.
08:20Did you like cars so much?
08:22I like cars.
08:24My father used to be a dealer.
08:26My father used to be a dealer.
08:28Occasionally, he came home with an Opel.
08:30Occasionally, he came home with an Opel.
08:32When I was a child, I thought it was cool.
08:34When I was a child, I thought it was cool.
08:36Then I started to like cars.
08:38Did you want to make a car?
08:40I wanted to make a car.
08:42I designed a car.
08:44I designed a car.
08:46I wanted to be a Honda engineer in the future.
08:48I wanted to be a Honda engineer in the future.
08:50So that's why you ransoned your car.
08:52So that's why you ransoned your car.
08:54I myself took antenna class.
08:56I took broadening class.
08:58When I entered the class, I realized
09:00When I entered the class, I realized
09:02I am not suitable for math.
09:04I'm not suitable for math.
09:06Is that enough?
09:08It is.
09:10You can...
09:12You can...
09:14I mean, if you can't do math, you can't do physics.
09:18That's right. It's a lot of work.
09:20But I did my best.
09:22I didn't care about physics.
09:27I didn't care about making cars.
09:29Of course you did.
09:30I didn't care.
09:32That's why you studied.
09:34I didn't care about the movement of atoms.
09:36I see.
09:37I was like, what the hell is this?
09:39And you hated it?
09:42So I had to go to that school for five years.
09:46Five years of high school.
09:47I dropped out in four years.
09:49Oh, it's only been a year.
09:50That's a shame.
09:51Where did you go?
09:52I was bored.
09:54I was bored and had nothing to do.
09:56I only had a part-time job.
09:58I had a friend from elementary school.
10:00He called me.
10:02Coincidentally, when I was in elementary school,
10:05I was in a theater club with him.
10:09He said,
10:10I'm recruiting NHK students.
10:13You're bored, aren't you?
10:15If you're bored, take it.
10:18I took it, and I passed.
10:22I had a year and a half of lessons.
10:25That's when I first got into acting.
10:27At that time?
10:29Did you enjoy it?
10:31I think I like the process of making things.
10:36For example, the process of making a car and a play is probably the same.
10:42There's a blueprint and a script.
10:45Things are different,
10:47but I think all the necessary factors are common.
10:51How many actors do you work with?
10:53The actor is the one who looks at the outside design of the car.
10:59What about the engine?
11:00I think it's the writer.
11:02Oh, the writer.
11:05The director is the one who summarizes the whole thing.
11:09What about the lighting?
11:11The lighting is the headlight.
11:14What about the sound?
11:16The sound is the horn.
11:18Did you go all out from there?
11:21No, not at all.
11:22You don't eat, do you?
11:23No, not at all.
11:24While working part-time?
11:25While working part-time.
11:26How many years did that last?
11:28I think I was doing it until I was in my early 30s.
11:32I was thinking,
11:34when will I be able to do this?
11:38And then Black Rain came to Japan,
11:40and it was shot in Osaka.
11:42It was a small article.
11:44I went to an audition for Black Rain.
11:48If Ridley said,
11:51it wasn't you,
11:53I thought I couldn't say it was an actor
11:56if it wasn't necessary.
11:59So I decided to give Ridley the guitar.
12:02If you had failed the audition for Black Rain,
12:05you probably would have quit acting.
12:09Kunimura was 33 years old at the time.
12:12He passed the audition
12:14and appeared in Black Rain,
12:16the climax action film starring Yuusaku Matsuda.
12:23I had a strange career.
12:26The first film I worked on was Gaki Teikoku.
12:30That was my first film.
12:33My second film was Black Rain.
12:36Wow!
12:37It's been a little over 10 years.
12:39Gaki Teikoku had a budget of 10 million yen,
12:41and Black Rain had a budget of 6 billion yen.
12:436 billion yen?
12:45I only had two experiences,
12:47but I was able to experience something completely different.
12:51But both were interesting films.
12:54They were good films.
12:56I thought,
12:58movies aren't about money.
13:00I thought, what an interesting media it is.
13:02I see.
13:03It was great that you were able to experience both.
13:05I think I had a different way of thinking
13:08and viewing movies.
13:10Let's take a look at the next one.
13:12Which one would you like?
13:14This is also cheap and delicious.
13:17Next,
13:18we'll take a look at Midoyaki Konamon,
13:20which is worth buying twice.
13:24It's about five minutes walk from Chigusa.
13:28It's really close.
13:30And it's made of the same flour.
13:32Next is Marui.
13:33Takoyaki.
13:34Takoyaki?
13:35Yes.
13:36It's a restaurant called Umaiya.
13:38Umaiya?
13:39I've been eating takoyaki since I was a kid.
13:41I've always wanted to eat it.
13:44What's the difference?
13:45The hole in the takoyaki is not a normal potato.
13:50What is it?
13:51It's a copper plate.
13:53The heat conduction is different.
13:55That's why the way it's baked is different.
13:57And when it's baked, it's still in the dough.
14:00It's double-baked.
14:02Is the texture different?
14:04It may be a little elastic.
14:06I wonder what it's like.
14:08Now that I'm in Tokyo,
14:10I buy about 160 pieces.
14:12What?
14:14What do you do with it?
14:15I take it home and freeze it.
14:17Do you steam it and eat it?
14:19The takoyaki in the restaurant is completely different.
14:23I want to try it.
14:25I've never eaten a proper takoyaki.
14:27Me neither.
14:29It's a proper takoyaki.
14:31It's lined up.
14:32It's rare to see that in Osaka.
14:34It's very different.
14:36It's a copper plate.
14:38It looks like a real takoyaki.
14:39It looks like a real takoyaki.
14:41It's a good sign.
14:43It's simple.
14:45This is a copper plate.
14:48It's burnt.
14:50It's gold.
14:52It's not gold, it's copper.
14:54It's burnt.
14:56I'm sorry.
14:58It's curry-flavored.
15:00It's yellow.
15:02It looks delicious.
15:04I shape it into a ball.
15:06I pour the dough into the mold.
15:08Do you bake it again here?
15:10Yes.
15:12It takes a lot of time.
15:14It takes about 20 minutes.
15:16Even if it's frozen, it's lined up.
15:18When it's baked, it's done.
15:21It's pretty big.
15:23It's pretty big.
15:25The dough is very delicious.
15:27The dough has its own flavor.
15:29You're particular about it.
15:30It's delicious with the sauce, of course.
15:32How much is it?
15:34I don't remember.
15:35I always buy 160 yen in total.
15:37That's right.
15:39You go and ask for 160 yen.
15:42I'll give you a call.
15:44That's right.
15:46You've done a lot of films overseas.
15:48Is there a film that left an impression on you?
15:51I did a Korean film called Kokuson about 10 years ago.
15:57Suspense thriller Kokuson, which was a big hit in Korea.
16:02In this film, Mr. Kunimura won the first Korean film award.
16:09However, the reason why it left an impression on him was not the award.
16:14The director, Na Hoon-jin, is a gentleman.
16:19He's kind.
16:20When he's on set, he's a demon.
16:22What do you mean?
16:23He won't let me finish.
16:24Do you mean you're going to shoot one scene all the time?
16:27That's right.
16:28I see.
16:29He brought an editor to the set.
16:33We shot it on the set and connected it.
16:36He said, let's shoot it again like this.
16:40I said, okay.
16:43So there are a lot of bad things that don't happen in the play.
16:48That's right.
16:50Didn't you get angry?
16:52The biggest problem was that there was a dead body on the highway.
17:00It was raining heavily.
17:02He told me to lie down there.
17:04It was raining heavily.
17:06It looked like there were people there.
17:08Yes, it looked like there were people lying on the ground.
17:12I thought it was a doll.
17:15I see.
17:16I thought it was a doll.
17:19When I lay down, I felt like I was left alone.
17:24I felt like I was left alone.
17:28I thought it was strange.
17:31At that time, I told him to stop with this one take.
17:34You told him that?
17:36Yes, I told him at the scene.
17:39I told him to stop with two more takes.
17:41Isn't that kind of thing?
17:43That's right.
17:44That's a request.
17:45You told him to stop with two takes.
17:47No, I didn't.
17:48You told him to stop with two takes.
17:50You probably did.
17:52I did it once.
17:54I said, what happened?
17:58Let's move on.
17:59Where are we going next?
18:01It's cheap and delicious.
18:02This is the best hitoshina in my life.
18:05Jun Kunimura was impressed with the best hitoshina in his life when he was in the theater troupe.
18:11That is...
18:15Dote-yaki in Naniwa.
18:19This is a izakaya in Osaka.
18:22Ogosho is located in Morinomiya.
18:26I ate Dote-yaki for the first time in this izakaya.
18:32I thought it was delicious.
18:34I was in the theater troupe.
18:37There was a rehearsal room near the izakaya.
18:39There was a rehearsal room near the izakaya.
18:43We all went to the izakaya together.
18:46You went to the izakaya together when you were a trainee.
18:48The owner of the izakaya told us that he prepared the izakaya for us with money.
18:52He told us to eat at the izakaya.
18:55He told us that there was a performance in the izakaya.
18:58He told us to bring a ticket.
19:00He gave us a lot of warm things when we were not in the izakaya.
19:07I can't forget the most delicious thing at that time.
19:11It was Dote-yaki.
19:13What is Dote-yaki?
19:15Suji?
19:16I don't know much about it.
19:18In Osaka, we make it with white miso.
19:20I see.
19:21It's much cleaner than before.
19:23It used to be more rotten.
19:25My son, who was a trainee at the izakaya, told me about it.
19:29It's all new.
19:31It's a good izakaya.
19:33Suji meat.
19:34It's soft.
19:37I make it soft with white miso.
19:42I make it with dashi and white miso.
19:44Do you add it?
19:45Yes, I add it.
19:47The white miso makes it look like candy.
19:51It's really white.
19:53Yes, it is.
19:56I'm so hungry.
19:58How much was it?
20:00It was 50 yen at that time.
20:0250 yen?
20:03No, it was a long time ago.
20:06How was it at that time?
20:08Wow, I was old.
20:11Shinji-san and Shin-chan-san talked about acting.
20:15Shinji-san and Shin-chan-san talked about acting.
20:18I watched the play at that time.
20:22But I don't think the play will change.
20:26I was scolded.
20:27You're a detective.
20:28No, I'm not.
20:30I've been watching it for a long time.
20:33It's getting better and better.
20:36I don't know how long it's been.
20:38I'm relieved.
20:39You've been watching it since you were young.
20:41I'm relieved.
20:42I don't want to be scolded.
20:44I'm glad I'm still on the show.
20:50He often came to see our bad plays.
20:54Do you say that when you go to the store?
20:56Don't you buy the play?
20:58He was reluctant.
20:59I was scolded.
21:01I didn't say that at the store.
21:03But he thought so.
21:07What does Kunimura-san want after this?
21:12I think it's different from what I did when I went to the mountains.
21:17Isn't it heaven?
21:22What does Kunimura-san want to do in the future?
21:26I love what I'm doing now.
21:30It's always difficult, but it's fun.
21:34I think the mountains I wanted to climb when I was young have changed a lot.
21:40What's the difference?
21:42It used to be a mountain.
21:45I don't know if it's a mountain now.
21:47I thought it was a mountain when I was young.
21:52Isn't it because you're climbing that it's not a mountain anymore?
21:55No, it's not.
21:57No?
21:58I think what I should have been aiming for was a mountain.
22:02I think it's a different thing.
22:06I don't have the image of a mountain anymore.
22:09You don't have the image of a mountain?
22:11No.
22:14I'm just thinking about what it is now.
22:19I think everyone has the image of climbing a mountain when they are improving.
22:26It may be different for everyone.
22:29I think so.
22:31I don't know what it is.
22:33I want everyone to have a clear image of what they want to do.
22:41Is it heaven?
22:43No, no, no.
22:44It's too early to go up.
22:46If I'm not good at it, I'll be in trouble.
22:50What surprised Kunimura?
22:54I'm not going to go to a place like that.
22:57What is the next movie?
22:59The movie Trillium Game will be released from yesterday.
23:02It's a movie starring Ren Meguro and Gaku Hayato.
23:08I'm going to challenge Hajime.
23:11Please enjoy it at the cinema.
23:15Cheers!
23:16Thank you very much.
23:18Itadakimasu.
23:25It's delicious.
23:26It's delicious.
23:27I have a question for you.
23:29I heard that you are not good at something.
23:33I'm not good at high places.
23:35Are you not good at high places?
23:37I'm not good at it at all.
23:38Don't you meet people at the location?
23:41I do.
23:42It's strange.
23:45It's not that I'm not afraid.
23:47But I think I can't help it.
23:50But I'm not going to a place like that.
23:53Are you going to climb a mountain?
23:55No, I can't climb a mountain.
23:57You're not good at high places, so you can't climb a mountain.
24:03This program was brought to you by SUNTORY.
24:11I thought it was a good story.
24:13No, it's not like that.
24:15No, it's not.
24:18Next time, Suzuki Osamu.
24:20I quit when I was 50 years old.
24:23Looking back, I've never thought it was fun.
24:26Stop it!
