00:00Google Pixel presents, Another Sky.
00:09When I'm in Hawaii, I feel like I'm in nature.
00:18Our guest is Mei Kuroki.
00:22She was scouted in Okinawa and became single at the age of 15.
00:32She showed her talent in supporting the stage as soon as she debuted.
00:39As an actress, as a model, and as a singer, she built up her career steadily.
00:46She got married and gave birth at the age of 24.
00:50She suddenly moved to Hawaii.
00:54I think it was a good decision for me.
00:58I've never done a mid-air kick, and I can't swim.
01:01You can't swim?
01:06Five years of emptiness.
01:11What kind of days did she spend in Hawaii?
01:15Google Pixel presents, Another Sky.
01:29Our guest tonight is Mei Kuroki.
01:32Nice to meet you.
01:34Is this your first time working together?
01:37Yes, it is.
01:39Nice to meet you.
01:41It's been a long time.
01:43About 20 years.
01:4520 years?
01:47Yes.
01:49I was looking forward to seeing you today.
01:54I finally got to see the real you.
01:56How do I look?
01:58You're cute.
02:00You're cute and cool.
02:02And you have a smile.
02:04I didn't think I had a smile.
02:06When I was in my teens, I thought no one would touch me.
02:10I could tell from your face.
02:13Your eyes were about to pop out.
02:15I was very careful.
02:18You were careful.
02:20Yes, I was.
02:22Which one of you is Mei Kuroki from Another Sky?
02:24I'm from Hawaii.
02:26You lived in Hawaii?
02:28Yes, I lived there for five or six years.
02:33What happened five years ago when she moved to Hawaii?
02:43The first reason I moved to Hawaii was because I wanted to take my time raising my kids.
02:53I'm from Okinawa.
02:57I like the atmosphere of the island.
03:02I learned English.
03:04But I thought Hawaii was the best place to experience Japanese culture.
03:11I was able to raise my kids there.
03:14I think it was a good decision for me.
03:22I'm back in Hawaii.
03:30Her morning routine in Hawaii.
03:33The morning of the second day in Hawaii.
03:39It's so active.
03:41It's so natural.
03:45This is the Makiki Trail that I used to come here a lot.
03:51It's called the Makiki Trail.
03:53It's a hiking trail.
03:56I did trekking in Hawaii.
03:59It's fun.
04:01It's a lot of fun.
04:03Let's go.
04:05Are you going to run?
04:06What?
04:10You're going to get hurt.
04:13She enjoys trekking on a daily basis.
04:17But she's pretty fast.
04:20It's fun to walk in nature.
04:26Nice.
04:28Should I bring my GoPro?
04:31You don't have it?
04:32No.
04:34Can I borrow your GoPro?
04:37I can do a lot of things with this.
04:39I don't have a GoPro.
04:41Let's go with this.
04:45It's about 8 o'clock in the morning.
04:50It's pretty cool.
04:52But it's getting hotter and hotter.
04:58I'm going to start sweating.
05:01It's going to be a good exercise.
05:03The tree is falling down.
05:06Did this happen?
05:09Was it raining?
05:11It's a big deal.
05:28Look at this.
05:31It's like a curtain.
05:38I love this sound.
05:48I don't think about anything else.
05:50When I'm hiking, I just look at what I see.
05:56I don't think about anything else.
05:58When I'm with my friends, I talk about random things.
06:04I can see it.
06:06Congratulations.
06:10You can trek in this outfit.
06:14That's great.
06:15The sea is shining.
06:17It feels good.
06:21I'm here.
06:23This is my another sky.
06:25I'm in Hawaii.
06:27I'm going to do it on my own.
06:31There is a restaurant that has everything.
06:40This is Arancino, a very famous Italian restaurant in Hawaii.
06:44This is Arancino.
06:46I think this is the restaurant I went to the most when I was in Hawaii.
06:58Of course.
07:02My microphone is stuck.
07:04It moved because it was stuck.
07:06I've never seen Meisa-chan wearing makeup like this.
07:09Don't say that.
07:11Mie-san has lived in Hawaii for 16 years.
07:17She is a senior in Hawaii.
07:19At the same time, she is a senior and junior at the same time.
07:28Daisuke-san.
07:30Welcome back.
07:32I'm back.
07:33It's been a while.
07:34There is Arancino in Hawaii, too.
07:36I'm Daisuke-san, a favorite chef who is chasing after Daisuke-san.
07:42I checked how many times I came to the open table yesterday.
07:46I came more than 100 times.
07:48Really?
07:51This is the restaurant I go to the most.
07:54It looks delicious.
07:56Insert.
07:59I'm going to eat it.
08:00This is a fresh scallop carpaccio from Hokkaido.
08:03I want to eat it.
08:06It's delicious.
08:07It's delicious.
08:13You didn't talk much.
08:14I didn't talk much.
08:15I was really shy.
08:17The time I met Mie-chan was a scene that I had never seen in my life.
08:23It was very exciting because it was spread out every day.
08:28I was nervous and I had to learn from my seniors.
08:33I was nervous and I had to learn from my seniors.
08:35So I didn't have time to talk at all on the bus.
08:39I didn't have time to talk.
08:40It changed a lot after I had a child.
08:43I can't say I'm shy.
08:45I have to go and get information.
08:48For the sake of children.
08:50It's the same for me, too.
08:54I don't have to say I'm shy.
08:57I don't have to say I'm shy.
08:58Has that changed?
08:59It's changed.
09:00I think that's the biggest change.
09:02I think that's the biggest change.
09:03I see.
09:05You didn't teach me much Japanese.
09:07I didn't teach you much Japanese.
09:08When I'm here, I only speak English.
09:10When I'm here, I only speak English.
09:11That's right.
09:12That's right.
09:13As a Japanese, I want you to live well.
09:22I think I've become stronger since I came to Hawaii.
09:25I think I've become stronger since I came to Hawaii.
09:26I think I've become stronger since I came to Hawaii.
09:27I don't have to think about many things.
09:33I can focus on my daily life.
09:37I see.
09:38Here it is.
09:39My favorite squid ink pasta is here.
09:45It's going to be black in my mouth.
09:50I didn't expect to eat squid ink on TV.
09:53I didn't expect to eat squid ink on TV.
09:54I see.
09:56I'm happy that we can order what we want to eat.
10:01I'm happy that we can order what we want to eat.
10:02Children eat what they want to eat.
10:06Do you understand?
10:08Children can't eat spicy food because they can't eat spicy food.
10:13You're too low.
10:15You're too low.
10:17One, two, three.
10:18Is this okay?
10:19This is cute.
10:20Is this okay?
10:21This is cute, too.
10:23They eat out, but of course, they eat at home.
10:27What do they bring with them the most?
10:30When I'm in Hawaii, I go to Target.
10:37Target.
10:39It's a popular supermarket everywhere.
10:42You can get all kinds of food and daily necessities.
10:47It's a great place for a second-generation mother.
10:50They have everything.
10:52What are they looking for?
10:53They have everything from toys.
10:55I usually buy a lot of things.
10:56I'm going to look around the clothing area.
11:02I often buy clothes at the supermarket.
11:05I have this.
11:07I have this T-shirt with my face printed on it.
11:12This is $12.99.
11:17This is what I usually wear.
11:18It's a set-up jersey.
11:21Maybe it's because I'm in Hawaii.
11:24The tension of the clothes I wear doesn't change much.
11:31I'll try it on.
11:37How do I look?
11:38What do you usually wear?
11:42It's like this.
11:44It's very simple.
11:46Look, I can open my legs with this skirt.
11:48Isn't it amazing?
11:49It's amazing.
11:51The theme is really...
11:53Easy.
11:56It's a very high-intensity explosion, isn't it?
11:59But, you know...
12:01I told you.
12:02If you come to the supermarket, you'll see Kuroki Meisa.
12:06You can't see it in the clothes at the supermarket.
12:08That's right.
12:09It's popular.
12:10It's like ROCKTEA.
12:12I like that kind of fashion.
12:13It's very easy.
12:15I don't even have a button.
12:17I wear it with a rubber band.
12:18You're an old man.
12:19There's an old man like that.
12:22There was an old man who said,
12:23I don't want to be tied up.
12:25Didn't you have a home shift after living in Hawaii?
12:29I really didn't have a home shift after living in Hawaii.
12:32I don't know why, but...
12:34I was asked,
12:36What do you do in Hawaii?
12:40I didn't have to do anything.
12:41I wasn't stressed.
12:45If you don't have to do anything in Tokyo, you'll be stressed.
12:47That's right.
12:48You feel like you're the only one left behind.
12:50I didn't have that at all in Hawaii.
12:54Just breathing in the air there,
12:55I'm very satisfied.
12:57Isn't it the best?
12:58It's fulfilling.
13:00It's really nice.
13:06The reason why every day in Hawaii started to shine was...
13:11After I got that into my life.
13:16I thought I'd try yoga.
13:20I started doing it.
13:22When I was doing yoga,
13:24I learned to focus on breathing.
13:30You don't have to focus on breathing in your daily life.
13:34You can't change your feelings and emotions.
13:39You don't have to change them.
13:41But you can always control your breathing.
13:46That's what really stuck with me at that time.
13:50When I was told to make my base overseas,
13:52I didn't expect the world to stop like that.
13:58I wanted to go back to Japan and Hawaii,
14:02LA and Hawaii.
14:03But I couldn't do that.
14:06She couldn't move her body.
14:09She was overwhelmed with anxiety and frustration.
14:18I thought I could handle most things.
14:23But I was a little weird.
14:25I was a little serious.
14:31I worked hard on my own,
14:33and I was up and up by myself.
14:35When I realized it, I was out of breath.
14:38I don't think I've ever been like that since then.
14:44I was interested in yoga.
14:47When I go to Hawaii, I have the image that everyone is doing yoga.
14:50I don't know why.
14:53I don't know why, but I feel the same way.
14:57When I go to Hawaii, I want to do yoga.
15:00I don't know why.
15:02Even though you've lived in Japan for 5 or 6 years,
15:05you've never experienced yoga.
15:10That's right.
15:13Have you ever climbed the Tokyo Tower?
15:15Yes.
15:17Did you feel like people in Tokyo wouldn't go to the Tokyo Tower?
15:20I used to live in Hawaii,
15:22and I was interested in it, but I didn't do it.
15:27The staff had a meeting,
15:29and when Meisa-chan said she wanted to do it,
15:32she said,
15:33Is this it?
15:35Today, we're going to the North Shore.
15:38We're going to Tacoma.
15:39We're going to Tacoma.
15:43I have the image that the locals in Hawaii ride a lot of cars,
15:47so I kind of admire them.
15:50I wanted to drive,
15:53so today, we're going to the North Shore.
16:02Let's go!
16:04I used to drive to the North Shore
16:09and hang out at my friend's house.
16:16The road is wide and the scenery is great,
16:21so I don't mind driving.
16:23It feels great.
16:25It takes about 50 minutes by car from Waikiki
16:29to Haleiwa on the North Shore.
16:34I came all the way to the North Shore,
16:36and what I wanted to do was...
16:39Over there.
16:42The North Shore Shark Adventure.
16:45Shark Adventure.
16:47It's inside the cage.
16:49I saw it on social media.
16:51The one that comes inside the cage.
16:53I'm here to do it.
16:54I panicked when a shark came in.
16:56I've never done it before.
16:57I've never done a regular kerring,
16:58and I can't swim.
17:00What?
17:01You can't swim?
17:02I've never done a regular kerring,
17:03so everyone...
17:04You've never done a regular kerring?
17:08There are many people in Okinawa
17:10who can't swim.
17:12I can't swim.
17:13I've gained a lot of experience and age,
17:16so I'm sure I'll be able to
17:19approach work in a different way
17:21than I did when I was young.
17:23It's the same with Shark Adventure.
17:26I'm not afraid to try new things,
17:29and I hope I'll be able to
17:32see many different worlds.
17:36That's the key point.
17:38There's a shark!
17:40It's coming!
17:41It's coming!
17:42There are so many!
17:43There are so many!
17:44There are so many!
17:45What are they doing?
17:46Wow.
17:49When I said I was going to dive,
17:52everyone said,
17:53isn't that too much?
17:54That's what I wanted to say.
17:57I'm sorry, Kuro-chan.
17:59But I don't care.
18:01I don't care about Hawaii.
18:03Let's go to the beach.
18:05You're not used to the sea.
18:08If you're in the mood,
18:09you can change your clothes.
18:11But I don't care.
18:12I don't care.
18:13That's my personality.
18:14I see.
18:15I don't care about Hawaii.
18:16I don't care about small things.
18:19That's what's changed in the past five or six years.
18:21That's right.
18:22You don't have to look at the dark side
18:24of the screen.
18:26In the studio,
18:27I was wondering if Imada-san would dive in.
18:29He just dove in.
18:32It's not just snorkeling,
18:33it's not just swimming,
18:37but I really wanted to try it.
18:42If you grab my hand,
18:44you can't do that.
18:46My butt is going to get bitten.
18:49Before the shark,
18:50because of the fear of water,
18:52her legs are shaking.
18:54You have to be careful with your hands.
18:55That's right.
18:58Will she be able to do it this time?
19:01We have no choice but to go.
19:08He pulled me.
19:15That's amazing.
19:20I'm scared that he'll jump out of the cage.
19:23I don't think so.
19:25You can't jump out of the cage.
19:28He's going to jump out.
19:29He's going to jump out?
19:30He's going to jump out.
19:31I wasn't afraid of sharks.
19:34I thought it was beautiful.
19:36I thought it was beautiful.
19:40He's going to jump out.
19:45I'm glad I did it.
19:46I'm glad I did it.
19:47Everything was very exciting
19:50and it was a good memory.
19:53I'm glad I did it.
19:54I'm glad I did it.
20:24Can you hear that?
20:33When I'm in Hawaii,
20:39I feel like
20:43I'm in the sea
20:49and crying happily.
20:51That's amazing.
20:53Were those tears of happiness?
21:10I think it's good to be in nature.
21:15Can you hear me?
21:18It's noisy.
21:20This is noisy.
21:27I'm simply grateful for the scenery and atmosphere.
21:30I'm simply grateful for the scenery and atmosphere.
21:35I'm simply grateful for the scenery and atmosphere.
21:38I'm thankful for the obvious.
21:42It was a place where I was made aware of the fact that I was going to do something new.
21:48I remembered that again.
21:51I don't know when it's going to be like Corona again.
21:55When I want to go or want to do it, I think it's amazing that I should do it.
22:02What should I do now?
22:05I made a decision.
22:09She moves to Tokyo.
22:16I'm 15 years old.
22:21When I was young, I grew up in the city and saw something new.
22:27It was very stimulating and I learned a lot.
22:31I want my children to be stimulated in a new place.
22:40I want them to experience a lot of things and I want to do it myself.
22:47That's how the second episode of the actress Meisa Kurokiri began.
22:53I just started it myself.
22:57I don't know what has changed, but I don't feel like I'm losing my speed like I did when I was young.
23:13I want to live a life without making a decision.
23:23I think that's the ideal way of life for me.
23:30I want to live in a place where I can be natural.
23:40I don't have to dress up in nature.
23:46I want to live in a place where I can be myself.
23:52She moved to Hawaii for her children.
23:56Her personality, way of life, and values.
24:00She was able to update herself.
24:04Let's go home.
24:06It's been five years.
24:08I'm back in Tokyo.
24:10The nostalgic scenery should look different again.
24:17Another Sky was brought to you by Google Pixel.
