00:11Who will be the best Lego builder in Japan?
00:16Actually, the eyes are a little different.
00:19It's still open.
00:21I don't want to use it.
00:22Because there is a limit.
00:24Impressive works that overturn the image of Lego blocks appear one after another.
00:31Wow!
00:33Look at the evolved techniques.
00:37Wow!
00:39Really?
00:41The passionate battle of Lego builders is about to begin.
00:45The best Lego builder in Japan.
00:48LEGO MASTERS JAPAN
00:52This time, we will deliver the audition pattern.
00:56I'm Kanako Omota, the MC.

01:03Nice to meet you.
01:06Season 2 has come.
01:08I'm really happy.

01:21Yami Suzuki.
01:22Nice to meet you.
01:25How about Lego?
01:27I really like kids.

01:32I don't know at all.
01:34The kids are amazing.
01:38Sakura Inoue.
01:39Nice to meet you.
01:41How about Lego?
01:43I used to be a supporter of the Lego tournament when I was in elementary school.
01:50The kids have sharp eyes.
01:53They have professional eyes.
01:56They are so focused that they don't even smile.
02:01I think the world of Lego is profound.
02:04There are also human dramas.
02:06They make Lego works.
02:10Nasu Nakanishi.
02:12Nice to meet you.
02:16You are wearing a Lego costume.
02:18I dressed up like a Lego.
02:24But when I put it on, I looked like Sakura Inoue.
02:27Really?
02:29My partner, Nasu, took a break from work.
02:33I gave him a Lego Super Mario.
02:38That's amazing.
02:40He made it very well.
02:42I wanted him to give it to me.
02:46He gave it to you?
02:48Thank you for applying from all over the country.
02:52Let's start with the audition.
02:55VTR, start!
02:56Start!
02:58This time, Lego Masters Japan will decide the best Lego builder in Japan with the same rules as 18 countries around the world.
03:08The stage of the battle is...
03:11I went to Lego Land Japan in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture.
03:17It opened in 2017 and 1 million people came in half a year.
03:23It is a very popular theme park in Japan.
03:30There are many attractions for children and adults.
03:35The Lego builders gathered in Lego Land.
03:40Lego Masters Japan Season 2!
03:47I'm Tachi, a reporter for this tournament.
03:53Nice to meet you.
03:56I'm Aika Okita, an assistant.
04:00Nice to meet you.
04:03The judge of this tournament is Mitsui Junpei, the first Japanese Lego builder.
04:12Nice to meet you.
04:16Mitsui Junpei is the only Japanese Lego builder in the world with only 23 years of experience.
04:25He started playing with Lego blocks when he was 1 year old.
04:29When he was 15 years old, he built a huge ship that was over 3 meters long.
04:36After that, he entered Tokyo University and became the first Lego master at a Japanese university.
04:43When he was 24 years old, he became the first professional Lego builder.
04:49What is his work?
04:52What is it?
04:55It is a work of Katsushika Hokusai.
04:58It is a work of Katsushika Hokusai.
05:02It is a work of Katsushika Hokusai.
05:07Why is it floating?
05:09He is called a god by Lego fans.
05:13Mitsui Junpei is the judge of this tournament.
05:19This time, 16 Lego builders from all over Japan will participate in a remote audition.
05:29The top 8 will get the right to participate in the competition.
05:34Which pair will get the champion's crown and 500,000 yen?
05:41I will announce the theme of this competition.
05:47The theme is...
05:50a cute animal with a sphere.
05:56A sphere?
05:58It looks cool.
05:59A block is a square.
06:02It is difficult to make a sphere with a square.
06:05I want to see if there is a technology to make it.
06:08Cute is different from person to person.
06:11I want to see the cuteness of various people.
06:14I see.
06:16There are various types of Lego blocks used in the audition.
06:21The work will be completed in 3 hours.
06:25Which pair will win the competition?
06:29The audition will start.
06:34Let's start.
06:37Let's start.
06:39It's like a school.
06:41It's amazing.
06:43Is there anyone who is drawing a picture?
06:46It's fast.
06:48Is everyone doing different things?
06:51Everyone has a different style.
06:53Some people get ideas while looking at the parts.
06:56Some people decide what to make.
06:57There are various patterns.
06:59What do you think of these parts?
07:02It looks like there are a lot of parts.
07:04It looks like there are a lot of parts.
07:06It is difficult to make something with this amount.
07:10For example, if you want to make a black animal,
07:13you can't get all the parts you want.
07:17It's a good idea.
07:20It's a good idea.
07:22It's a good idea.
07:23It's different from how to use the parts.
07:27It's a technique used for a different purpose.
07:31In the limited Lego block audition,
07:34this is the key to making a work.
07:38Now, let's introduce the pairs.
07:42First, Saito and Oso.
07:46What did you two meet?
07:49We met at a Lego meeting.

09:32The three teams are on fire.
09:35Here they are.
09:37They are the Kiyoshima Gunji pair.
09:38Nice to meet you.
09:40The Gunji and Kiyoshima pair got along well at the Lego building meeting.
09:44It's fun.
09:46The temperature is getting higher and higher.
09:48It's hot now.
09:50Let's do it.
09:52The last time they challenged themselves to enjoy making a work.
09:55They made a colorful and fun work unique to the female pair.
10:01Unfortunately, they lost in the first round.
10:05Have you done anything in the past year?
10:08I want to make something big.
10:11I want to make an animal or something three-dimensional.
10:15It's my first time.
10:17When I make something, I want to make it move up and down.
10:22I want to use a motor and program it.
10:25I'm looking forward to it.
10:27The Gunji and Kiyoshima pair are back with more power.
10:31I'm looking forward to it.
10:33The Nagatahira and Sato pair are the best friends since elementary school.
10:39They made a powerful 3D work of a tuna.
10:44Unfortunately, they lost in the first round.
10:47We lost because we didn't make anything.
10:49Were you a high school student?
10:51I was in the 3rd grade of junior high school.
10:53I've become stronger.
10:55Have you done anything in the past year?
10:58I bought a lot of technical parts to make it stronger.
11:03I've learned a lot.
11:05The Nagatahira and Sato pair have been fighting against the previous defeat.
11:10What kind of work will they make?
11:13It's pretty high level.
11:15The Mita brothers also participated in the last final.
11:20Long time no see.
11:22Ryunosuke-kun.
11:24The line was really big.
11:26How many centimeters is it in a year?
11:28It's 15 centimeters.
11:30It's 15 centimeters?
11:3215 centimeters?
11:34We look forward to their growth in height and techniques.
11:39And this pair.
11:41Ishii-kun.
11:43Ishii-kun.
11:45Long time no see.
11:47Ishii-kun lost in the semi-final.
11:51He made a powerful 3D work of a tuna.
11:54Unfortunately, he lost in the semi-final.
11:56Ishii-kun.
11:58This time, the pair is different.
12:01My partner is a university entrance examiner.
12:04University entrance examiner.
12:06Last time, Ishii-kun was a university entrance examiner.
12:09Now, I'm going to Hyogo Prefectural University.
12:12Are you going to the university?
12:14Ishii-kun, who passed the university, created a Lego circle.
12:18Let's do Lego with me.
12:20I'm recruiting members for the Lego circle.
12:22Ishii-kun is still the only member, so he is recruiting members.
12:28Ishii-kun will participate in the Lego circle with Isa-san.
12:35There are other pairs.
12:38Tateoka-san, who won in the semi-final last time,
12:42will participate in the Lego circle with Ikuse-san.
12:48Last time, I was the last one.
12:51So, I'm a little nervous.
12:54They are both talented.
12:57What kind of work will they make?
13:02This time, the parents who love Lego will participate in the Lego circle.
13:07Nagai, who is from Chiba, will participate in the Lego circle.
13:11Sho-kun is addicted to Lego.
13:13I don't want a toy.
13:16I make my own toys.
13:19You make your own toys?
13:21It's helpful for me as a parent.
13:24Sho-kun, who loves Lego, has a dream.
13:28I want to be a Lego master.
13:30That's a must.
13:32I announced it when I graduated from elementary school.
13:35I'm looking forward to it.
13:38There are other talented pairs.
13:40It's a little late, but it's better to choose a random color.
13:45Aoki and Mukai, who were competing for first and second place in the Lego block contest.
13:53I want to make it look like it's coming out while throwing grass.
13:57Murao-san, who is good at making original robots with Lego blocks.
14:02Tsutsumi-san, who is good at building with a lot of creativity.
14:07What kind of work did they make in just three hours in a competition with so many talented people?
14:21It's over.
14:24Please stop working.
14:37What is this?
14:41First of all, the only female duo in this competition.
14:45A work by Gunji and Kiyoshima Pair.
14:48Please tell me the title of the work.
14:50It's a happy lion.
14:55I want to make a lion with a round face and a big face.
15:01I'm making a flower pot to make it look cute.
15:05I'm happy to eat meat, so I'm going to put a tail on it.
15:10It's a tail.
15:13What is the next work made by Nagatani and Kohara Pair?
15:18It's Marumajiro.
15:24Kohara-san made a cute and favorite Marumajiro with Lego blocks.
15:30In addition, the correction of Marumajiro is also expressed.
15:34Marumajiro is a 6-second work, so if the enemy comes, Marumajiro will be rounded.
15:39This work also incorporates that.
15:42You can make Marumajiro into a round shape.
15:49It's hard to make Marumajiro and Marumajiro in the same shape.
15:55But this work has both Marumajiro and Marumajiro in the same shape.
15:59I thought it was very interesting.
16:03What is the next work made by the youngest pair, the Katakura brothers?
16:08It's a penguin's favorite thing.
16:12Penguin's favorite thing?
16:15What is it?
16:16What the brothers made is a penguin's house where the penguin's favorite things are hidden.
16:22It's a penguin's favorite thing.
16:26Ice cream.
16:28Ice cream.
16:29It's ice cream.
16:31Express the alphabet of ice cream with Lego blocks.
16:35In addition,
16:36Turn the dial.
16:42It's ice cream.
16:43It's ice cream.
16:44Cute.
16:46Next is the work of Nagatahira-Satou pair, a great friend duo since elementary school.
16:53It's a Suzukastera in the deep sea.
16:55Suzukastera in the deep sea?
16:57What does it mean?
16:59This is a butterfly.
17:01His butterfly is a Suzukastera.
17:04It looks creepy.
17:07Just change the way you look at it and look at it.
17:10It's very cute.
17:13The impression has changed.
17:16It's very interesting.
17:17I feel that the world view is still deep.
17:21I think it's a good work that feels deeper than what I'm making now.
17:24I think it's great.
17:27Next is the work of Tateoka-san, the finalist last time, and Ikuse-san, a picture book author.
17:35It's a hedgehog party.
17:37Hedgehog party?
17:39It's an animal, cute, and it's a sphere.
17:43First of all, it's an animal, a hedgehog, and a sphere.
17:46In order to express cuteness,
17:48I use various colors to express cuteness.
17:52It seems that the Lego blocks used for the three hedgehogs are different.
17:59The leftmost one is a hedgehog using a basic block.
18:05This is a plate using a thin board.
18:09The last one is a sphere using various special parts such as smooth parts and plant-like parts.
18:18The composition and the world view are integrated into one work.
18:23I can feel the level of the work.
18:27Next is the work of Ishii-kun, the director of the Lego Circle, and Isa-san, a Lego lover.
18:33It's a weird bear.
18:35A weird bear?
18:38He uses his arms and legs as a cake or an ice candy.
18:44He eats the cake and his body turns into a cake.
18:51It's a different kind of cake.
18:53The shape of the cake is colorful, and it matches the world view of the work.
18:59After this, the brothers of the last finalist will show the Lego fan god Mitsui-san.
19:05We talked for about two hours.
19:07Really?
19:10The work of the last finalist, the Mita brothers.
19:14The title is Ball Circus.
19:17Ball Circus?
19:19Yes, Ball Circus.
19:20I made three scenes of a circus involving a ball.
19:24The scene where a hedgehog puts a ball or various things on the tip of its nose.
19:29The scene where a mouse crosses a rope while putting two balls on a stick.
19:33The third scene is a rabbit jumping over a ball.
19:37I made these three scenes.
19:40I put a plate under the ball so that it doesn't move.
19:51The brother, Rintaro, is particular about the ball.
19:57This is Mitsui-san's appeal.
20:00The edges of the balls are crossed.
20:04This is my original design.
20:08I don't think you're interested in this, but this is amazing.
20:12I'm not interested, but I don't know what it is.
20:16We talked for about two hours to explain this.
20:20In addition, there are works by long-time parents and children,
20:23such as the work of a turtle that looks like the Earth,
20:26trying to spread its wings and fly away,
20:29and the work that expresses the dynamic relationship between a rabbit and a turtle,
20:33which is a dynamic work of a pair of Murao and Tsutsumi.
20:37A unique and high-quality 16 works have been completed.
20:43Which pair will win the right to participate in the finals?
20:51Announcement of the results!
20:58I will announce the results.
21:01The pair to advance to the finals is...
21:05Tateyoka Ikusei.
21:07Tateyoka Ikusei.
21:11Mita Kyodai.
21:17Murao Tsutsumi.
21:21It's better than a rabbit.
21:25Kiyoshima Gunji.
21:28It's better than a rabbit.
21:34After that, their names were called one after another.
21:38These eight pairs advanced to the finals.
21:42Which pair will shine as the second champion of LEGO Masters Japan?
21:49It was a battle that made me sweat from the beginning.
21:51What about you, Mouta?
21:53Tateyoka is strong.
21:56I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of work it will be.
22:01I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of work it will be.
22:08I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of work it will be.
22:12Suzukiyama, do you have a pair you're interested in?
22:15Mita Kyodai.
22:17It's not just one work.
22:19There are many stories in it.
22:23It's easy to understand.
22:25It's easy to understand.
22:27I'm looking forward to it.
22:31What about you, Naganishi?
22:33I'm curious about Murao and Tsutsumi's pair.
22:37I don't think they look like strangers to me.
22:43They look like Tsutsumi.
22:45They look like Tsutsumi.
22:47They look like twins.
22:49It's a cute idea.
22:51It's a cute idea.
22:53It's a cute idea.
22:57Next time, it's the first round.
22:59Next time, it's the first round.
23:01The theme is LEGO blocks.
23:03I want to ride it.
23:05It's really fun.
23:07It's a shocking work.
23:09It's a shocking work.
23:12If you want to see LEGO Masters Japan Season 2 again,
23:15Come to EVER!
