00:01Here is today's theme.
00:04The true nature of the battlefield that the battlefield cameraman wants to convey.
00:07Well, the battlefield cameraman is that person.
00:10Oh, that's right.
00:12The person who revealed his true nature this time is...
00:15Excuse me.
00:17It's like that.
00:18Please.
00:19That's right.
00:22The battlefield cameraman, Yoichi Watanabe.
00:24That's right.
00:26He has been covering the battlefield for 32 years since he was a student.
00:31That's amazing.
00:34He conveys the tragedy of the battlefield and the voices of the people living there through photography.
00:40I appear on TV as a battlefield cameraman,
00:46but on the other hand, I mostly cover the battlefield.
00:52I continue to record the situation of the children and their families standing there.
01:03If I can report on the foundation that this is the pillar as a cameraman,
01:11I would like to face it.
01:16What is the theme of the sentence that the battlefield cameraman wants to convey this time?
01:22What I want to convey the most as a cameraman is that the victims on the battlefield are always children.
01:35What I was most surprised and saddened by on the battlefield,
01:38I wrote this sentence this time,
01:41and it's not about the cameraman himself,
01:46but it's about the situation of the children on the scene,
01:49and how they feel as a cameraman when they face the children.
01:54The children on the battlefield were always written on the pillar of the interview.
02:02This is the most unforgettable picture for me as a cameraman.
02:09The little girl was affected by a chemical weapon and could not be completely cured.
02:15She lost weight and lost her hair,
02:19and was unable to be treated in the hospital.
02:25In the meantime, her mother hugged her and spent time with her.
02:42When I took this picture,
02:44as a battlefield cameraman,
02:46the battlefield is a battlefield where you have weapons and fight fiercely.
02:53Of course, there is reality, but it is not a war.
02:57How does the existence of chemical weapons affect the children living in the area and take their lives?
03:05This is a picture of the moment when I clearly confirmed that there is a second war.
03:14If you look at the situation of the scene,
03:18which has been recorded in the interview and which was not recorded in the interview,
03:24you can deliver it firmly in a sentence.
03:27It is a job that can be delivered as a cameraman in a photo.
03:30In addition, as a document,
03:32you can think about the background of the children's life and the characteristics of the battlefield,
03:41organize them in words, and deliver them accurately.
03:47I felt that this was the power of a media called a document.
03:54Mr. Yoichi Watanabe,
03:59this is completely different from what you have done so far.
04:04Of course, you are active in variety shows,
04:08but your main job is a battlefield cameraman.
04:11I would like to hear more from people who know more about the war than those who are watching the news.
04:30After this, they listen to the reality of the battlefield and think about war and laughter.
04:36I don't think it's possible for us to get into a place where people are killing each other.
04:54The victims of the war are always children.
04:57As a battlefield cameraman for about 32 years,
05:00he has confirmed and recorded the war in the world with his own eyes.
05:05And he noticed one thing that does not change because it is a brutal war.
05:11That is, in every war, the victims of the war are always children.
05:17Even in this modern world we live in,
05:20children who are sacrificed in wars around the world are left behind.
05:24Even the number of children who lose their lives can not be confirmed due to the deterioration of the battlefield.
05:31In addition, there are also young soldiers who are forced to go to the front lines as soldiers in battle.
05:38As a battlefield cameraman,
05:40I think it is my duty as a cameraman to keep taking pictures of the children who are standing in the battlefield and crying.
05:51I have repeatedly encountered situations that cannot be conveyed in photos.
05:57When it comes to the battlefield, there is an image that every corner of the city is abandoned,
06:03but in reality, when you get to the battlefield,
06:07it is almost as if a peaceful cityscape is spreading normally.
06:11You may wonder where the battlefield is,
06:15but in fact, the battlefield is a place where air strikes start suddenly,
06:20self-destructing terrorist attacks,
06:22device bombs explode,
06:24and armed forces are instantly involved in combat.
06:31To put it extremely, it is difficult to encounter the battle itself.
06:38And the daily life on the battlefield is a battlefield that suddenly explodes,
06:43but it is also the case that the daily life of a family under one roof is normally repeated.
06:50The children make meals with limited food in the morning,
06:53and go to the school where there is a risk of earthquake.
06:58Parents go to look for work,
07:00and at night they go to sleep in the river.
07:03On the weekend, there was a time when the whole village generated self-generated electricity
07:06and enjoyed Japanese anime on a video CD.
07:11While standing on the battlefield,
07:13the warm feelings of the children felt by their parents,
07:17the kindness that the children bring to their parents,
07:21this feeling was the same for both Japanese and Japanese families on the battlefield.
07:28Rather than saying that there is a special family relationship and time because it is a battlefield,
07:33the feelings of the family members living there and the feelings of affection are all the same.
07:40Many people can get a job,
07:42and children can go to school.
07:45On the weekend, you can go shopping with your family,
07:48and if you open the refrigerator, you can eat at any time.
07:52In addition, you can choose not only to eat, but also to eat.
07:57These are the conditions of happiness that those who are standing in an unstable area
08:01are most looking for.
08:06On the battlefield, while cherishing the connection of the family,
08:10showing each other's affection clearly in words and behavior
08:14was the courage and hope to survive day by day in the battlefield.
08:20I was surprised when I covered the Iraq War in the Middle East and Lebanon.
08:26It was that comedy programs were broadcast in the Middle East countries.
08:31In the car of a long-distance bus with evacuees,
08:35TV and video were set,
08:38and when the bus started, a comedy program was broadcast on video,
08:43and the passengers who watched the Arabic version of the content and gag were laughing.
08:48Even I, a Japanese who does not understand the content well,
08:52laughed at the movement and behavior.
08:55The performer in the video told me that he was a famous comedian in Egypt.
09:00When the passengers were wrapped in laughter,
09:03the atmosphere in the car was suddenly wrapped in a soft and gentle atmosphere.
09:08It was a moment when the power of laughter in the battlefield was strongly shown.
09:14Even in extreme conditions, laughter gives you the power to live.
09:20I could feel that hope from the soft expression of the passengers.
09:25I can say that laughter is the bridge to peace.
09:30Finally, I would like to convey a message as a battlefield cameraman.
09:35No matter what war it is,
09:38the victims of war are always children.
09:43If you notice the voices of the children standing on the battlefield,
09:49I believe it will be a switch that will reduce the number of crying children.
09:54As long as the war continues in the world,
09:57we will face the children who are standing there.
10:02I don't know what you're going to say to me,
10:08but there is a lot of news like this.
10:11There was such a war in the neighboring country today,
10:14and there was such a war in the past.
10:16I don't know when this war will come.
10:19I think it's important to think about it and be aware of it.
10:28I think you're saying it ahead of time.
10:31If that happens, what do we entertainers do?
10:36When there is a big earthquake in Japan,
10:39one way of thinking is to do it to deliver a smile.
10:43I don't think it's the right time to do this.
10:49There are times when disasters happen on the horizon.
10:56It's a big deal.
10:59But I don't think it's possible for us to go into a place
11:06where people kill each other without permission.
11:09That's right.
11:12It's definitely different from the horizon.
11:15And moreover, from the children's point of view,
11:17it's just involved in the difference in adults' thoughts.
11:21So we have to think of a way to prevent that from happening.
11:26I'm sure you're conveying that through photos.
11:32My grandfather is still alive, but he's 100 years old.
11:36He wrote a autobiography.
11:39I read it because it was sent to me.
11:41That's how it is in Japan.
11:43You can learn stories about famous people in textbooks.
11:47But you don't get stories about people living in the countryside.
11:51So I read the autobiography.
11:53My grandfather lived in the countryside of Okayama.
11:56He was working.
11:57He was wearing red hair.
11:59He didn't go to the battlefield,
12:01but he had to do a lot of things as a soldier.
12:04One day, a lot of dead bodies were brought here.
12:09That's when the atomic bomb fell in Hiroshima.
12:12He didn't write about famous people or strangers.
12:15He wrote about his grandparents.
12:18He had a daily life.
12:20I thought it was important to have a daily voice.
12:23I read it.
12:24It's like what Yorichi Watanabe said.
12:27It's very important to pick up the voices of people who live on a daily basis.
12:32What should I do?
12:35I can't imagine him going to war all of a sudden.
12:40Seriously.
12:42I can't believe it.
12:44That's right.
12:46He had to go to war 400 times.
12:48That's what people say.
12:50He had to drink soy sauce all at once and get sick.
12:53I heard that a long time ago.
12:55He had to do a lot of things.
12:57He had to take a day off.
12:59He had to take a day off.
13:01If you think that he went to war,
13:07people who didn't go to war would think he was a refugee.
13:13Have you ever collaborated with Watanabe?
13:16No.
13:18I was a guest on the show.
13:23He came to the dressing room to say hello.
13:26He was a very calm person.
13:30He knocked on the door and said,
13:32Kon.
13:34Kon.
13:35It's true.
13:36I'm not saying this now.
13:38He's crazy.
13:39It's true.
13:41No way.
13:42Believe me.
13:43It's true.
13:45It's true.
13:46It's true.
13:48You'll understand if you go to this location.
13:50Kon.
13:52Kon.
13:53He really did that.
13:55He also sang karaoke.
13:57I'll take you there.
14:00I thought he was a fun person.
14:04But in reality...
14:06Watanabe went to a lot of places.
14:08He told me that he was a kid.
14:11I really felt that way.
14:14We have something to tell you two.
14:17We added a video clip.
14:19What is it?
14:20You two.
14:22Let's get started.
14:25That's what it is.
14:28Why did you become Yoichi Watanabe?
14:30To be continued.
14:56What does Yoichi Watanabe want to tell you two?
15:00I want people all over the world to see
15:04Iguchi and Kubota's jokes.
15:06I want people all over the world to see their laughter.
15:13I think people all over the world will laugh.
15:18Laughter has no borders.
15:21There is no nationality or religion.
15:23Laughter supports people all over the world.
15:28That's the power of laughter.
15:31Iguchi and Kubota.
15:33I want people all over the world to see their laughter.
15:39That's why I got an offer.
15:47Wait a minute.
15:49You gave me a difficult task.
15:53But as Yoichi Watanabe said,
15:56it has nothing to do with nationality or religion.
16:01Iguchi.
16:03We don't have the power to go to the world.
16:10But I found out one thing.
16:16Let's start Tejina.
16:21That's what it is.
16:24Why did you become Yoichi Watanabe?
16:27Let's start Tejina.
16:30Bring the size to Tejina.
16:34Are you going to put it in a box?
16:37You're going to stab me with a sword, aren't you?
16:40You're going to put me in a box.
16:43You're going to put me in a box.
16:46That's what it is.
16:49We can't speak foreign languages.
16:53So we have to move to Tejina.
16:56Next time.
16:57The problem that the comedy world is facing.
16:59Cutting into the history of laughter.
17:01I'm doing something embarrassing.
17:03I'm not going to Tejina.
