00:00Today's era
00:02Today's era is the era of these three people.
00:04This time, I formed a group called Sakai Masaaki and Magnets.
00:12Today, I'm going to have the members get together and talk about various things.
00:18It's the first time I've ever talked on TV.
00:24So today, I'd like to know how you really feel.
00:32I feel like I'm sitting here and I'm a host.
00:37I don't like this, but I can't help but feel sad.
00:41I'm going to have you talk to me.
00:44Please ask me questions from time to time.
00:46I understand. I'll do my best.
00:48The three of them formed the band Sakai Masaaki and Magnets last year.
00:53This February is the first live performance.
00:57I'm looking forward to seeing how this group will roll.
01:03I feel very free.
01:07Sakai-san, you said earlier that you're a host.
01:12Sakai-san, this is all about the spirit of service.
01:16It's scary.
01:18It's scary to stop.
01:20I've met Sakai-san many times at home.
01:24We've rehearsed together.
01:26He's a neighbor.
01:30We're rehearsing at Sakai-san's house.
01:34It's the foundation of the band.
01:36When I was an amateur, I practiced with Sakai-san in a big house.
01:42That's great.
01:45That's not what I wanted to say.
01:48What Sakai-san is good at is creating a relationship with Magnets.
01:53It's really hard.
01:58Every time, I have to prepare a lunch box.
02:02If it's the same thing, I get tired of it.
02:08Do you understand that?
02:10Of course.
02:11I hope this will be a good nutrition.
02:13Of course.
02:16We're going to play a song.
02:22What is it?
02:24I thought you were really afraid of silence.
02:27That's right.
02:28We're going to connect.
02:30If you do the feeling of rolling forward,
02:36I think the show will never end.
02:40That's a good lesson.
02:42What I'm worried about is that Sakai-san is amazing.
02:46All the jokes come in an instant.
02:50I have to respond to that.
02:54That's the hardest part.
02:56I'd be happy if you could get used to it.
02:59If you don't, everything will be boring.
03:01In other words, it's not just one way.
03:05It's not just one way.
03:07It's not just one way.
03:09It's not just one way.
03:11It's not just one way.
03:13It's not just one way.
03:15It's not just one way.
03:17It's not just one way.
03:19It's not just one way.
03:21It's not just one way.
03:23It's not just one way.
03:25It's not just one way.
03:27It's not just one way.
03:29It's not just one way.
03:31It's not just one way.
03:33Thank you!
03:53Are you good at band activities?
04:00I think I have a way of coordination.
04:02I don't think so.
04:04That's strange.
04:06But when I was in a band,
04:08I had a strong sense of unity.
04:10When I was in elementary school,
04:12I was told by the newspaper
04:14that I didn't have a strong sense of unity.
04:16But now that I'm in a band,
04:18I think I have a strong sense of unity.
04:20You think so?
04:22Yes, I do.
04:24Since I was little,
04:26I really didn't have a strong sense of unity.
04:28I didn't like dressing like other people,
04:30or eating the same things as others.
04:32I didn't want to be alone,
04:34I didn't want to be alone.
04:36I wanted other people to do what I did.
04:38I want to do what other people do.
04:40I am not good at
04:49expressing my own feelings.
04:51I didn't like to compete with other people.
04:53I'm not good at it.
04:55So the SPYRERS
04:57was really
04:59I didn't want to talk about Spiders. I wanted to talk about this story alone.
05:09I want you to lock the door.
05:13Really.
05:14Three years after I joined the company, I didn't cry or anything.
05:22But then I heard that Yuhi was crying, and that I could share my fate in this group.
05:31So I decided to do my best.
05:35Until then, I was completely alone.
05:38Actually, I love being alone.
05:42But as I got older, I started to think that it would be nice to have friends.
05:52That's how I got to Magnets.
05:57In my opinion, Spiders was really great musically.
06:03The combination of Sakai and Jun, the speed and everything, was really musical.
06:16I've been watching Sakai's performances since I was in middle school.
06:21I really like The Spiders.
06:23I really like The Spiders. The fun and entertainment of the band,
06:29I think it's the best thing I've seen from The Spiders.
06:34I've been a fan of the band since then.
06:37Kafka is like an electrician of rhythm.
06:44I really sympathized with that drummer who put his soul into the rhythm.
06:53You also do plays, right?
06:59As a drummer, is there a part of you that is alive when you do plays?
07:09I think there is.
07:13I was with Ryo Ishibashi the other day, and we talked about music.
07:17We talked about the rhythm of the lines.
07:21He told me that's what a drummer is like.
07:26But everything is about rhythm, right?
07:29The lines, the music, the play, and Shodo are all about rhythm.
07:37I think everything is connected to rhythm and music.
07:43Did you like music since you were little?
07:45What kind of music did you listen to?
07:48I liked to shake my body to the music.
07:55What kind of music did you listen to?
07:57Anything was fine.
07:59Even the music that was playing at the supermarket,
08:03I was so into it that I danced, and then I realized I was lost.
08:09So you instinctively had a certain volume to the music.
08:15Yes, I liked it.
08:17It's good to have a certain volume when you're little,
08:21but you're overdoing it.
08:23You're so lost.
08:25That's right.
08:27I've always liked to give my body to the music.
08:30What was the first CD you bought?
08:35What was it?
08:37It was Kinky Kid's Glass Boy.
08:40What did you buy, Mickey?
08:42I got Elvis and Little Richard.
08:50What did you get?
08:52I got Ricky Nelson.
08:54What did you buy?
09:01I wanted to say Spiders.
09:04That's not what I meant.
09:08But I had all the Spiders.
09:10I bought the Etenraku No. 5 that no one knew about.
09:15That's amazing.
09:17I'm proud of it.
09:19The first record I bought was a record.
09:24It was an SP version.
09:26It was Isola Hibari's.
09:28I bought the song Ringo Oiwake for my elementary school New Year's party.
09:34Ringo Oiwake.
09:36That was the song.
09:38Right, Mickey?
09:40We talked a lot.
09:42Hibari was very lucky.
09:46When I was little, my father took me to his house in Yokohama called Isogo.
09:56Hibari Goten.
09:58I heard that he always left me there on the way to work.
10:03I lived right below him.
10:06Before Hibari got married,
10:10we had our last birthday party.
10:13There was a big band playing on the balcony in the garden.
10:17Onomitsu and Swing Fever.
10:20When I heard the big band,
10:25I was fascinated by it.
10:29It was like a Godfather party.
10:35I thought I'd never see him again.
10:40I thought I'd never see him again.
10:44Hibari was a symbol of that.
10:47I was surprised.
10:49Before playing Monkey Magic and Gundala,
10:57did you have a hit song?
11:01No, I didn't.
11:02That's the important part.
11:06Thanks to Sakai, Goten had a break there.
11:10Thanks to his courage.
11:12Mickey, you didn't appear in Cho-Hakkai, did you?
11:16I borrowed Nishida-san's costume a few times.
11:20It was perfect.
11:23I appeared on this show with Nishida-san.
11:26That was two years ago.
11:27Nishida-san was still in good health at that time.
11:33Nishida-san, Kamayatsu-san, Inoue Takayaki,
11:40and other people around him had passed away.
11:45I wanted to create a band with them.
11:51That was my original idea.
11:54I thought of them as my last friends.
12:00I was very patient.
12:03I was a patient person.
12:07It was hard to walk with such a selfish couple.
12:14I like to take a step back.
12:16But you didn't do that on your show.
12:19You were like, look at me!
12:21Look at me!
12:25What influenced you the most?
12:30When I was working with The Beatles,
12:34I listened to American Pops when I was a kid.
12:37Then I listened to Twist.
12:40I was excited when I listened to it.
12:46That's the basic.
12:50What was the basic?
12:52When you listened to it,
12:55didn't you feel like your voice was great?
13:00I was in a choir.
13:03I went to a church-like school every morning.
13:07When I was asked what my favorite music was,
13:10I said it was Sega.
13:13At first, I liked gospel music.
13:16Then I met drums.
13:20I fell in love with the position of the drums.
13:26That's interesting. Why?
13:29You can't see the spotlight on stage.
13:32You can't move from that position.
13:35It's an inconspicuous existence, but it's so big.
13:38It supports the root of music.
13:41It's so cool.
13:44I wanted to sit there.
13:46Then I sat on the drums.
13:47I found the instruments interesting.
13:50I started listening to music.
13:52I found this kind of music fun.
13:54I met people.
13:56I found it so much fun to meet people.
13:59That's how I got closer to music.
14:02It's the most conspicuous, but inconspicuous position.
14:05You can support something.
14:08Is that your personality?
14:11I like to take a step back.
14:13But your live performance wasn't like that.
14:15It was like this!
14:18You said, look at me!
14:20Look at me!
14:23You have a lot of energy.
14:26Originally, I like to take a step back.
14:31Why do you play the drums barefoot?
14:35I started playing the drums in my house.
14:39Did you go out of the bath and play the drums?
14:41I started playing the drums in Argentina.
14:45Why did you play in Argentina?
14:48When I was in Argentina, I didn't get used to it.
14:52My parents bought it for me.
14:55It's in the house, so I'm taking off my shoes.
14:59That's how I started playing the drums.
15:02It's best to take off your shoes.
15:05What kind of person was your father?
15:08My father...
15:09He's still alive.
15:12What kind of person was he?
15:15I'm sorry.
15:17My father and I have a lot in common.
15:21We used to go to karaoke together when we were in high school.
15:26When I was over 20, I went out to drink with my father.
15:29In Japan?
15:31Yes, in Japan.
15:34What about you, Mr. Sakai?
15:36I've been separated from my father for over 20 years.
15:44I still remember how my father felt when he left the house when he was three or four years old.
15:53When I remember his face, I feel really sorry for him.
16:01I still can't forget the faces of the girls who used to watch me,
16:09wondering why my father didn't go with them.
16:15They got married,
16:18and their youngest son, Koharu, came into the world of theater.
16:26He said he would do his best,
16:29which means he would follow me, Sakai.
16:32Sakai is a stage name.
16:35My father is a comedian named Sakai Shuji,
16:40and his son is me.
16:44When I was in my second year of high school,
16:47I wondered if the stage name Sakai would end.
16:51She said,
16:53I will follow you, Sakai.
16:56It's not a psychological disorder,
16:59so it can't be helped if I die,
17:03but she said she would follow me.
17:06I felt that my children were thinking about my father somewhere.
17:15I was very happy.
17:17I felt happy.
17:19That's how I feel now.
17:22I'm going to get old.
17:29Have you ever thought about what you want to refresh yourself,
17:34or what you want to do for your health?
17:38No, I've been in the department of illness for a long time.
17:43I've had a lot of ailments since I was a teenager.
17:46Since you were a teenager?
17:49Yes.
17:51So I've been thinking about how to relieve my stress.
17:57Including not making enemies?
18:00No.
18:02It's difficult, isn't it?
18:04It's been a while since I've made friends.
18:07If you think about it,
18:09being in a band is the most stressful thing.
18:12Did you break up?
18:14No.
18:16When I was young,
18:19I was different in how I grew up,
18:22how I got interested, and everything.
18:25But when I thought I wanted to do something better,
18:29that's when the stress started.
18:32So it's really hard to be in a band.
18:35The direction of what you want to do changes over the years.
18:39It was the same with SPIRAL.
18:41But that's where the cracks are.
18:44The cracks are so big that you can't see them,
18:49but they break apart.
18:52I'm sure that's where it started.
18:55I don't force myself.
18:57I practice, too.
18:59I tell myself, if I can come tomorrow, I'll come.
19:02I learned this from the Golden Cups.
19:06Then everyone comes.
19:08I think it's important to get rid of stress like that.
19:14How about you, Kafka?
19:16Refresh?
19:18If there's something you're doing because you like it,
19:22would you tell us?
19:24I don't know.
19:27But, yes.
19:29If you say it like this, it'll go like this.
19:32Think about it.
19:34How about you, Sakai?
19:35Here it comes!
19:37You have a lot of hobbies, right?
19:40Before that.
19:42While I'm talking?
19:44Yes, yes.
19:46Lately, I've been learning to let go.
19:53It doesn't have to be a simple thing.
19:55As soon as I let go of myself,
20:01I think it's easier.
20:06Until now, I've been holding on to what's in front of me like it's mine.
20:12I was very angry, and I had a lot of emotions.
20:16But once I let go, I can see things calmly.
20:20I can see where I am.
20:28I think I'm starting to train to let go of myself.
20:36Then, in a bad way, I may have lost the excitement in my heart.
20:44But now, there's a lot of information, a lot of things.
20:49It's a time when a lot of things are coming.
20:53There must be a lot of desires.
20:57Isn't it difficult to think about that?
21:01That's right.
21:03Just by looking up, a lot of information comes in.
21:06It's hard, but I don't look anymore.
21:10I really don't look.
21:11It may be right to say shut down,
21:16but if my emotions are shaken, I don't look anymore.
21:20I think it's easier that way.
21:23It's your turn, Mr. Sakai.
21:26I'm releasing what's in my house.
21:31Organize it.
21:33Yes, I'm doing it because it's a very important job for me.
21:41I don't meet people I don't like very much.
21:45I used to meet people even if I had to force myself to meet them.
21:49I was able to get along with them.
21:52But I've come to have a strong feeling that I should stop doing that.
22:00I meet people I like,
22:04but my life is not a game every day.
22:12I'm fighting.
22:14I'm fighting with the world.
22:16I'm fighting with someone.
22:18If I were in the 10th round,
22:21I think 5 wins, 4 losses, 1 draw is a wonderful thing in life.
22:275 wins, 5 losses is boring.
22:305 wins, 4 losses, 1 draw.
22:321 draw.
22:34What is this 1 draw?
22:37I think it's a great asset for me to have friends and people who have nothing to do with the game.
22:51I think it's a great asset for me to have friends and people who have nothing to do with the game.
22:55Let's have a meeting.
22:58Let's do our best.
23:02I hope you have a wonderful day.
