00:00I wonder if they're open.
00:02It's a bit too quiet.
00:04I wonder if there are any customers.
00:09Usually, it's a bustling downtown.
00:13But that downtown...
00:16On a Sunday night when work starts the next day,
00:20it's completely empty.
00:24But...
00:26I still want to drink.
00:29Drunken drunkards gather in a bar
00:32where the streetlights are quietly lit.
00:35Isn't this nice? Dream Town.
00:37What is Dream Town?
00:41What kind of bar is that?
00:43What kind of people are there?
00:47Oh, it's you!
00:49On a Sunday night,
00:51Kotobe-san, who loves to drink,
00:53digs into the people drinking in the street.
00:55On Sundays,
00:57you can feel the difference.
00:59Breathing is different.
01:01The blood flow is different.
01:03No one knows.
01:07The venue is Fukui Prefecture,
01:09where the Hokuriku Shinkansen opened in March this year.
01:13In front of the station,
01:15there are many attractive alleyways
01:17that stimulate the drunken drunkards.
01:19In Fukui,
01:21Kotobe-san digs into the people drinking
01:23on Sundays at night.
01:25I'm a friend of the drunken drunkards.
01:27I'm Hikorohi.
01:29I think I can drink a lot.
01:38Tokotoko Kotoge.
01:40It starts on a Sunday night.
01:45It's Sunday,
01:47so it's hard to find a bar.
01:55Oh, it's a shopping street.
02:02It's nice and quiet.
02:06It's pretty late now.
02:11Shopping streets are usually closed.
02:16I see.
02:33How do you decide the shop?
02:35I think it's important
02:38whether it's a street or not.
02:44So it's a street,
02:46and this is Kotobe-san's choice of shops.
02:49It's nice.
02:51What time do you drink?
02:54Tomorrow?
02:56I have a day off tomorrow.
03:00I don't have time to do this.
03:04If I were in Tokyo,
03:06I'd be fine,
03:08but I don't have time to drink in Fukui.
03:11He says that, but he's having fun drinking.
03:15There's a shop over there.
03:17Let's go.
03:22I like this place.
03:27There's a street.
03:35Hello.
03:37Is this okay?
03:39Is the TV okay?
03:41Yes, it's fine.
03:45Is the TV okay?
03:47Yes, it's fine.
03:51Is this okay?
03:53Is this okay?
04:06Five minutes' walk from Fukui Station.
04:08A barbershop.
04:11Cheers.
04:14What time is it open?
04:16Until 12 o'clock.
04:17It's open until late.
04:19Isn't it too late to open until 12 o'clock?
04:23There are a lot of places that aren't open.
04:25There are a lot of places that aren't open,
04:27so people gather.
04:30I see.
04:32You can't drink over there.
04:34You can't drink anywhere.
04:35I see.
04:36This is the only barbershop.
04:40The owner, Mr. Azuma,
04:42opened the barbershop
04:44because he wanted to do what he wanted
04:46when he was done raising children.
04:49The concept is that the distance between customers is close,
04:52so even if you come alone, you can enjoy the barbershop.
04:56What kind of people drink at a barbershop on a Sunday night?
05:04What do you two do for a living?
05:07We retire.
05:09Are you done?
05:10What did you say?
05:11We retire.
05:12I see. That's good.
05:14It's really good.
05:15Is it?
05:16We're free.
05:18What do you do for a day?
05:21We go to the gym.
05:23What do you do for a day?
05:24We go to the gym.
05:25We do some homework.
05:26We do some homework.
05:27We do some homework.
05:28We go to the gym.
05:29You go to the gym.
05:30That's good.
05:31You go to the gym.
05:33What did you do when you retired?
05:36I was a teacher.
05:37A teacher?
05:38Yes.
05:39You were a teacher.
05:40Yes.
05:41Now you're doing your homework.
05:46That's good.
05:47I'm a teacher now.
05:50That's great.
05:55That's good.
05:56That's good.
05:57I see.
05:58That's good.
05:59I see.
06:03You've met each other in high school.
06:05Just now.
06:06Just now?
06:08Just now?
06:09Just now?
06:10You don't know him at all?
06:11No, I don't know him.
06:12Really?
06:13I don't even know his name.
06:14You don't know his name.
06:15You don't even know his name.
06:16I don't know his name.
06:17I don't think you two know each other now.
06:19I don't think so.
06:21It's interesting that everyone gets along.
06:25The distance is 0.
06:31It's a good restaurant.
06:33It's like an at-home restaurant.
06:37It's a good restaurant.
06:43But that area is also closed.
06:49It's open.
06:51It's a cafe.
06:57It's lively.
07:05Can I sit here?
07:11Can I sit here?
07:19Hello.
07:25Hello.
07:29Do you take off your shoes?
07:31Do you wear slippers?
07:33No, I don't.
07:35Do you take off your shoes here?
07:37It's a system where you can take off your shoes and enter the store.
07:39It's good.
07:41This shop is Yumi Kayo Cafe.
07:45Excuse me.
07:58There are many people who come to see this powerful and charming mom.
08:03I have a question.
08:05Why do you open the store on Sunday night?
08:09At that time, I opened the store almost every Sunday.
08:15But many employees took a day off.
08:18So I opened the store on Sunday.
08:22The store is closed because of the pandemic.
08:25But the store is still open for customers who can only come on Sundays.
08:35What kind of people are drinking at such a store on Sunday night?
08:41What kind of people are drinking at such a store on Sunday night?
08:44They are all connected to the store.
08:46Do you mean regular customers?
08:48That's right.
08:49They are all different age groups.
08:52Is that so?
08:56He is the president of the Hokuriku Shinkansen.
09:01Is that so?
09:04What do you do?
09:05I'm a student.
09:06Are you a college student?
09:07That's right.
09:09Your glasses are unusual.
09:13What kind of system is this?
09:16I've never seen it before.
09:18I wear sunglasses over my glasses.
09:21Can I take a picture of you?
09:23That's right.
09:25What is this?
09:26The angle of my glasses is off.
09:28This angle is perfect.
09:31How did you know this angle was right?
09:34I just noticed it.
09:35Did you just notice it?
09:37Did you just notice it?
09:39I've been wearing glasses for a long time.
09:44I'm sorry, everyone.
09:45Thank you very much.
09:47Thank you very much.
09:49This is how young people drink.
09:51That's right.
09:53This is how young people drink.
09:54I'm sorry.
09:55It's okay.
09:56I'm sorry.
09:57It's okay.
09:58Are you okay?
09:59Where are you from?

10:05Thank you very much.
10:06Thank you very much.
10:07Thank you very much.
10:08Thank you very much.
10:13It's good.
10:14Let's go over there.
10:15I don't think there's anything around here.
10:18I think there's a place called Katamachi.
10:21I'd like to go over there.
10:27Next, Mr. Kotoge went to Fukui,
10:29which is located 600 meters north-south,
10:31near a restaurant with 700 stores.
10:34It's one of the biggest downtown areas in Fukui, Katamachi.
10:38It's Sunday.
10:39There aren't many shops open.
10:44It's getting dark.
10:46I wonder if anyone is drinking.
10:49But the number of shops is really...
10:52If it's the weekend,
10:54I'm sure it's open.
10:56It's a lively and energetic town.
11:02There's an ice shop.
11:03I wonder what that is.
11:07What's an ice shop?
11:08I guess it's something you put in a shop.
11:12Wow, it's open.
11:14Wow, it's open 24 hours a day.
11:17Wow, that's amazing.
11:19It's an unmanned ice shop.
11:22It's rare.
11:23I've never seen a shop like this.
11:25There are a lot of bars.
11:28Normally, it's a delivery service.
11:30But now that it's closed,
11:32people can come and buy drinks at any time.
11:35That's why it's a town with a lot of bars.
11:41Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this.
11:46I wanted to come here on the weekend.
11:49I really wanted to come here on the weekend.
11:51It's late.
12:00It's a thin black cat.
12:03Isn't it thin?
12:08It's thin.
12:12It's the thinnest black cat I've ever seen.
12:15I see.
12:17Since the cat is thin,
12:19please look for a shop that is open.
12:25This shop is open.
12:30Isn't this flower amazing?
12:32What is this flower?
12:34Isn't this flower amazing?
12:36It's so short.
12:38It's the shortest flower I've ever seen.
12:44It's short.
12:45It's short, isn't it?
12:47What is this place?
12:49It's impressive.
12:51I've never seen this before.
12:54Is this Yoshi?
12:56Oh, it's Yoshi.
12:58I don't know if it's Yoshi.
13:02Izakaya Yoshi has short legs and flowers.
13:07It looks short both mentally and physically.
13:11This Yoshi shop has just opened in September.
13:16It's a store that sells charcoal-grilled food.
13:21It looks good with alcohol.
13:26I'll have a bite.
13:28The dumplings look good.
13:30It looks delicious.
13:33This place is nice.
13:37It's nice, isn't it?
13:38It's nice, isn't it?
13:39I really like this place.
13:42It reminds me of Noren.
13:45The history.
13:51It's 9 o'clock at night.
13:52It's time to worry about tomorrow's work.
13:54What kind of people are still drinking?
14:03Oh, hello.
14:04Hello.
14:05Excuse me.
14:08I'm sorry.
14:10I'm willing to do everything I can to help.
14:15I don't know what to do.
14:17They are like my sisters.
14:20It's about time.

14:24She's back.

14:35She's back.
14:36She's back.
14:37I wonder what kind of people are still drinking.

14:48Are you okay?
14:49I'm fine.
14:50Really?
14:51I'm sorry.
14:53Are you okay?
14:54I'm sorry.
14:59I'm sorry.
15:02I'm filming a TV show right now.
15:06Excuse me.
15:07Are you serious?
15:08I have something to tell you.
15:09Are you serious?
15:10I'm sorry.
15:12This is a Chinese restaurant that sells one-bite dumplings.
15:17It's open until 2 a.m. on Sundays.
15:20It's a Chinese restaurant where non-Japanese people visit at the end of the day.
15:25There are other popular dishes besides dumplings.
15:28Is this the dumpling sauce?
15:30It's like beer.
15:32It's amazing.
15:33I've never seen a dumpling of this size.
15:35Why are you so excited?
15:37That's why there are so many dumplings.
15:41It must be delicious.
15:43I've never seen dumplings of this shape.
15:48It looks delicious.
15:53It's delicious.
15:54It's delicious.
15:55It's juicy.
15:57The skin is thin.
15:59It's delicious.
16:01It's delicious.
16:03What kind of people are drinking at such a delicious dumpling restaurant on a Sunday night?
16:10What kind of gathering is this?
16:13It's a regular team of izakayas.
16:17How many people are there?
16:18It's the third one.
16:19That's good.
16:21We drink in the evening.
16:22Do you drink in the evening?
16:23I have to go home early because I have to work tomorrow.
16:26My son is here.
16:27Is that so?
16:28It's the same.
16:29Is it the same here?
16:31I'm sorry.
16:32We are a couple.
16:33Are you a couple?
16:34Is that so?
16:35How long have you known each other?
16:37We work at the same company.
16:39I see.
16:41We still work together.
16:43Have you known each other for a long time?
16:45You are very close.
16:48They are drinking at the same izakaya.
17:00Do you drink at the same izakaya?
17:05That's right.
17:06That's amazing.
17:08I can't drink.
17:10I can't drink, but I enjoy drinking.
17:13I like to drink at a place like this.
17:16Why do you drink so much?
17:19I can't drink.
17:22That's good.
17:25You can say that.
17:27Are you single?
17:29No, I'm single.
17:30I'm single.

17:35I make my own food.
17:38What do you make?
17:40Peperoncino.
17:41Peperoncino?
17:43Can I say this to a frozen edamame?
17:49I think you can.
17:50Edamame is fine.
17:52I don't think there's anything wrong with edamame.
17:57It's from Kewpie.
17:59You cared about the sponsor.
18:07Do you have children?

18:14I can send them a message on LINE.
18:16But they're not coming back because of puberty.
18:19Really?
18:20They're not coming back?
18:21They're not coming back, so I'm drinking alone.
18:31Thank you for coming.
18:35Can I sit here?
18:37Sure.
18:38These are my daughter's slippers.
18:40Your daughter's slippers.
18:42She comes here once a year.
18:45For summer vacation.
18:48These are her photos, right?
18:50Yes.
18:51These are her photos.
18:53I see.
18:57I look at them when I go out in the morning.
19:00I take photos to cheer myself up.
19:04I also decorate my daughter's scarf.
19:09I look at them when I go out in the morning.
19:12Do you live alone?
19:15Yes, I do.
19:17When I'm eating at night,
19:19I don't talk to anyone.
19:21I don't see anyone.
19:23When I'm at home,
19:26even if I don't talk to anyone,
19:29I feel like I'm with my family.
19:33I'm alone, watching TV.
19:37I feel lonely at times like that.
19:40I talk to my wife when I'm alone.
19:44That's why I feel lonely.
19:49That's why.
19:52The next day.
19:59Good morning, everyone.

20:42I got a like from my wife.
20:46I'm a nobleman now, but I can't get a reply.
20:55Dad, it's okay.
20:57This is what a teenage girl looks like.

23:43Really?
23:44It would have been fun if it was yesterday.
23:46Yes.

23:49Are there any other customers today?
23:51No.
23:52My mom is not here.
23:53Do you want to make a call?
23:54I'll just walk around.
23:56I'm sorry.
23:57I'm sorry.
24:00Ayakashi, a bar run by a drag queen's mother.
24:04She usually runs a bar on Sundays.
24:06But on this day, there were few customers.
24:08My mom seems to have gone home.
24:10I'm sorry, Mr. Kotoage.
24:19Is this a bar?
24:21It's too cool.
24:24Are there any other customers?
24:26Kotone.
24:28Kotone.
24:30It's written as a music bar.
24:33Let's go inside.
24:35I'm not sure.
24:37I don't think there are any customers.
24:39This is a good place.
24:41There is a music room.
24:43Music is played here.
24:46I'm nervous.
24:50I can't hear the music.
24:52There are many customers.

24:57I'm Mr. Kotoage.

25:12It's called Kotone Bar.
25:15It has a lot of original cocktails.
25:18Mr. Kotoage, what would you like to drink?
25:21What is this?
25:23It's a cocktail without alcohol.
25:25I'll have that.
25:27I don't need anything else.
25:29It looks good.
25:30Mr. Kotoage wants to try a different cocktail.
25:35It looks good.
25:36It has a lot of cheese.
25:40It's amazing.
25:42It's rare to see a cocktail with cheese.
25:45I've never had it before.
25:49It looks good.
25:50I'll mix it with cheese.
25:52It's rare.
25:55I've never had it before.
26:01It's good.
26:02It's good.
26:03It has a refreshing sweetness.
26:05It's good.
26:07What time do you close?
26:10We close at 3 pm.
26:113 pm?
26:12Why do you close so late?
26:15On Sundays,
26:17there are people who have a special job.
26:20I see.
26:22When there are a lot of people, people avoid me.
26:25There are a lot of interesting people.
26:28They gather a lot.
26:30They react to me.
26:32I see.
26:34I get excited.
26:37Are you married?
26:39Not yet.
26:41My girlfriend is engaged.
26:43Is that so?
26:45That's good.
26:46What about that picture?
26:48That's my girlfriend.
26:50I see.
26:52It's a picture of a musician and a painter.
26:56What's this?
26:59It's just started.
27:00It's not ready yet?
27:03There's a Jin-no.
27:05Can I have the soup stock?
27:07Okay.
27:08This is the soup stock.
27:12We call it soul food.
27:16Is that grated daikon?
27:18Yes, it is.
27:19It's grated daikon.
27:21It's grated daikon.
27:23It goes well with the soup stock.
27:26I've never heard of it.
27:28It's really good.
27:31It's good.
27:36Do you have live music here?
27:38You have a lot of equipment.
27:40I'm sorry for the mess.
27:42That's amazing.
27:44I'm a singer-songwriter.
27:47If you have a request...
27:49You can sing?
27:50That's amazing.
27:52Can you sing now?
27:54If it's okay with you.
27:56I'd like to hear you drink.
27:59Is that okay?
28:01Mr. Kotoge seems to like to drink while listening to music.
28:06How about a bar song?
28:07A bar song?
28:08I was going to say that.
28:10You were going to say that?
28:11A bartender song?
28:12Yes, a bartender song.
29:12People and scenery change
29:18As if it were natural
29:24I drank with you many times
29:32At that bar
29:39How many years, how many decades
29:46Let me grow old with you
29:55Originally, I wanted to get married when I was young.
30:00I didn't have it at all.
30:02I'm the type who wants time alone.
30:07I often do my hobbies alone.
30:10I like to draw pictures.
30:11I want to draw at home.
30:12I wonder if I can find someone who will support me.
30:17Ever since I came back to Fukui,
30:20I've been with you all the time.
30:22Isn't this person too hard?
30:25We've been together too much.
30:29I don't want to be alone now.
30:33I want to be with you.
30:35When I first came to Fukui,
30:37I wondered if I could marry someone like this.
30:41Then I want to get married.
30:43I drank with you many times
30:50At that bar
30:56How many years, how many decades
31:03Let me grow old with you
31:33That's the kind of song, isn't it?
31:35That's a great song.
31:36I'm sorry. Thank you.
31:42I really like music.
31:47That's why it suits the town.
31:51Is it over there?
31:52Let's go over there.
31:56It's a snack.
31:57It looks good.
32:02Sunday is coming to an end soon.
32:04What kind of people are drinking at this time?
32:16Kotomi-san
32:18I'm sorry.
32:22Are you really Kotomi-san?
32:23Yes.
32:24Really?
32:25Is it okay to drink?
32:27I'm sorry I got drunk.
32:29It's okay.
32:36The shop where Kotomi-san entered is a Showa-style pub, Seseragi.
32:41The reason why it is open on Sundays
32:43It seems to be because there are many customers who change the wind and it is fun.
32:49What about tonight's customers?
32:52I'm a junior high school classmate.
32:54Are you a junior high school classmate?
32:55Yes.
32:56I'm 40 years old.
32:58Are you all classmates?
32:59That's right.
33:03Next year.
33:05Actually, I was in love 40 years ago.
33:09That's 40 years ago.
33:13I'm going to introduce it next year, so I got together.
33:15If it's a year later, it's a close call.

34:27He just drinks alcohol.
34:31Why do you finish it later?
34:36I had a kanji meeting when I was 50 years old.
34:41Did you?
34:42Yes.
34:43It's been 10 years.
34:45I was going to do it when I was 55 years old.
34:49It's been 10 years since I was born.
34:55Graduates from all over the country are scattered.
35:00Do you come back on purpose?
35:02Yes.
35:03How many people come to your school?
35:08100 people.
35:11I came to 100 when I was 50 years old.
35:14The venue was too small.
35:16I was wondering where to go next.
35:18What was the situation?
35:20I couldn't move.
35:21There was a lot of food.
35:23I couldn't eat.
35:26Is there anything you can't move?
35:29I was in a hurry.
35:31You couldn't go get food because you were in a hurry.
35:35There was a lot of food left.
35:37There was a lot of food left.
35:38I was in a hurry.
35:40It's a luxury.
35:59I'm crying.

36:04You don't want to wear red?
36:06It's just a good story.
36:08My grandchild is wearing red.
36:11I don't want to wear red.
36:13I don't want to wear red.
36:16I'm crying.
36:34I'm happy.
36:37I don't want to admit it.
36:41I'm still young.
36:47I'm 60 years old as a child.
36:50I'm 60 now.
36:53I don't want to admit it.
36:57I'm young.
36:59I'm old.
37:05I don't want to admit it.
37:08I don't want to admit it.
37:16You're playing in your own room
37:19They're crying
37:20I have this one friend
37:22that's wearing a t-shirt with red heels
37:25but she doesn't wear it anymore
37:26so I thought I'd give it to her
37:28and she's like, oh, no, I don't need it
37:32You're better than Rizun-san?
37:33Of course
37:34The more I talk about it
37:35she's the better
37:38This is embarrassing
37:40Do you want to see a movie?
37:42I don't go any more
37:43You're not going, are you? I don't get it.
37:47This is crazy. Is it okay to stay here for 4 hours?
37:50Excuse me, can I get a taxi?
37:52Thank you very much.
37:54Thank you very much.
38:01It's nice, isn't it? Mr. Kotoge. It's almost done.
38:05It's a nice nightclub, isn't it?
38:08I think Fukui people are nice.
38:13Shall we go?
38:17Mr. Kotoge, if you hold it like that, it won't come off.
38:23It's been a long time.
38:26I might not be able to do it next time.
38:30What did you do tomorrow?
38:32I'm a hero.
38:34I'll do it properly.
38:37Of course.
38:50What's that? Dream Town?

39:56That's great.
39:58I drink a lot.
40:00I think I'm at my limit.
40:02How much do you drink?
40:04I don't know.
40:08Mr. Kotoge drinks 9 glasses.
40:13Can I have a glass of oolong?
40:15Do you often come here?
40:17About 12 years ago,
40:20when I came here,
40:23I wanted to open a bar.
40:25Do you run a bar?
40:27Do you run a bar?
40:29There are a lot of people.
40:33Cheers.
40:37Did you want to open a bar
40:39when you came here?
40:41Yes.
40:43I opened a bar a few months later.
40:45I'm going to talk,
40:47but I want you to tell me
40:49a big episode.
40:51Why are you in Fukui?
40:53I'm not from Fukui.
40:55Where are you from?
40:57I'm from Tochigi Prefecture.
40:59Why are you in Tochigi?
41:01Before coming to Fukui,
41:03I was in Hokkaido.
41:05I used to work at a music bar.
41:07I used to run a bar there.
41:09It was a Western music bar.
41:11There were a lot of records.
41:13I wanted to go to the United States
41:15to see live music.
41:17To make money in the United States,
41:19I worked at a factory in Fukui
41:21for half a year.
41:23I was told that
41:25I wanted to destroy this building
41:27long before I opened it.
41:29But I was determined to do it.
41:31I kept saying that I wouldn't leave.
41:33I was determined
41:35to do it.
41:37I was determined
41:39to do it.
41:41I'm in the middle of a new project
41:43I was working on.
41:45I'm in the middle of a new project
41:47I was working on.
41:49I was determined
41:51I bought this building four years ago.
41:55Are you the owner of all the buildings?
41:57That's right.
41:58That's amazing.
41:59However, two months after I bought it, COVID-19 started.
42:03I see.
42:04So all the tenants who were supposed to come in quit.
42:09Oh, I see.
42:10It was hard.
42:12Then I recruited a friend to come in.
42:17Really?
42:18I managed to get it back.
42:20That's amazing.
42:28What I can do is...
42:31I love Fukui.
42:33What I can do is...
42:35I want to make music exciting.
42:40That's what I want to do.
42:43So you're the master, right?
42:47Yes, I am.
42:49Do you have a band?
42:51Yes, I used to have a band.
42:56Do you sing?
42:57I like Let It Be the most.
43:03After this, Mr. Kotoge won the first prize.
43:10Let's give a big hand to Mr. Kotoge, the lead vocalist.
43:46Mr. Kotoge.
44:16I've been to Fukui before.
44:20But it was my first time to drink at a bar.
44:24I could feel the warmth of Fukui people.
44:29I love music.
44:31Fukui is a city with a strong culture of music.
44:36It was different.
44:38I could breathe.
44:40I could feel my heartbeat.
44:43It was good.
44:45Thank you for letting me sing at the end.
44:57There are not many people on Sunday night.
45:01So people gather at the bar.
45:04They enjoy drinking with people around them.
45:10They are wonderful people.
45:12In the past and in the future,
45:15Rojira will continue to add color to the lives of the people of Fukui.
45:22Cheers on Sunday night in Fukui!
45:26Cheers!
45:33If you want to see it again, go to the bar.
