00:03What kind of Japan-loving Yuu will appear?
00:07Let's go, one, two...
00:08Yuu, what are you doing in Japan?
00:12My name is Yuu, but...
00:17Last year, and this year as well, I appeared on the show, but I was rejected.
00:22Rejected?
00:23I was rejected by another person.
00:26Can I talk to you for a bit?
00:27Thank you very much.
00:28So, let's start over.
00:30Where are you from?
00:31I'm from Italy.
00:33I'm Deshi.
00:35Deshi-san?
00:36Yes, Deshi.
00:37I'm not Deshi.
00:38Oh, you're not Deshi.
00:40So, Yuu, what are you doing in Japan?
00:44Last February, I was rejected.
00:48And last summer, I appeared on the show.
00:54I went hitchhiking from Tokyo to Kagoshima.
00:58I was on a journey to find interesting Japanese words.
01:03Do you remember?
01:05What's interesting is this.
01:07Mincing.
01:08Do you know how to do it?
01:10I love it.
01:11Hitting your head on the corner of a tofu shop.
01:14What's that?
01:15Hitting your head on the corner of a tofu shop.
01:18That's good.
01:19Hitchhiking on a journey to find interesting Japanese words.
01:24Did you collect any new Japanese words after that?
01:27I did a lot.
01:29But after that, I collected Japanese words and published this book.
01:36I think it's in a book store all over Japan.
01:39You published a book?
01:42I wrote a book about the Japanese words I liked on my journey.
01:49That's amazing.

03:00Why did you come to Japan?
03:02Why did you come to Japan?
03:04We like gaming.
03:07Electronics.
03:08We like arcades.
03:10It used to be in the 90s.
03:14I don't like the new one.
03:16The new one you can play on the PC.
03:19We feel nostalgia.
03:21This is the thing.
03:26This is my place.
03:30Japanese arcade.
03:31I bought it.
03:33This is his house.
03:35Is this his house?
03:37Yes.
03:38This is my house.
03:40That's great.
03:42This is my house.
03:45He likes arcade games.

03:52I like it.
03:54I like it.
03:55This is the first one.
03:59This is a martial art.
04:04This is a martial art.
04:09We used to have it in commercial shops.
04:12We go, pay, and play.
04:14And then, this has disappeared from my country.
04:17Not anymore.
04:19And then, we miss this kind of arcade and the atmosphere of playing.
04:24And then, some of my friends got it.
04:27And then, we go there.
04:29We like it.
04:30I want it also.
04:32He made the arcade at that time.
04:41Is this his house?
04:43It's a real arcade.
04:45It's a real arcade.
04:46That's great.
04:48His house is like an arcade.
04:53Like 10 years.
04:55During 10 years, yes.
04:57So, I bought something every year.
05:00I did something new.
05:03The ones that we have, there are scratches here and there.
05:06You know, dents.
05:07We go to some shops like Petro Gaming.
05:11We go check.

06:43He got an award at the film festival.
06:46I'm going to Kesennuma, north of Japan, for the tsunami, you know, I'm doing a documentary
07:04about that.
07:18Basically I love the Japanese way to resilience and to perseverance and to reconstruction.
07:27So all the documentary is all about that, the reconstruction and the relationship between
07:32the man and the nature.
07:34This is the theme of the documentary.
07:38I already made one documentary about the 2011 tsunami and this is a theme that I'm working
07:44on.
07:49Since 2017, only Italian with another guy that have been a lot of times in Kesennuma
08:02It's not so touristic, you know.
08:13To film you filming in Kesennuma.
08:15Really?
08:16Now?
08:19It's very weird.
08:23It will be difficult because I will go around by car, go to the, you know, by sea, mountains
08:30and the forest.

10:44We will rent a car.
10:45Rent a car?
10:46Yes.
10:48From here...
10:50Why is it a car?

15:45There is a show named Kitanmachi-no-go-hiromii?
15:47I have seen that show.
15:49I have seen that show, too.
15:51He is the MC in Asamo, Kusakarimasu-ou.
15:54What do you mean?
15:57He is a man, but Kusakarimasou.
15:59He is an actor.
16:02Hello.
16:07They were sitting here during our shooting.
16:37The scene where the mother is explaining to the children what happened here with the photos.
16:47This house was hit by the tsunami, just the first floor.
16:52Here, tsunami.
16:57There were a lot of them before.
16:59From here to the sea.
17:01You can't see the sea at home.
17:10By the way, where were you when the tsunami hit?
17:15I was here, but I went out because I had something to do.
17:21When I came back, it was a big mess.
17:30I agree.
17:32It must have been scary.
17:34Yes, it was.
17:36What did you think when you saw an Italian man, not from Japan?
17:41But I could understand him.
17:44You could understand him?
17:46Yes, I could.
17:49He was so kind and frank.
17:52He was so kind to the children.
17:56I wasn't nervous at all.
17:58I just wanted him to take pictures of his daily life.
18:02When I was interviewing him, he said,
18:05he was so kind to people all over the world,
18:08and he was doing well.
18:13He sent me a message all over the world.
18:21I know that people want to forget.
18:25We will go around to meet everybody in Kesennuma,
18:29before the screening and after the screening.
18:32Thank you. See you.
18:34I want to play, so I want to go home.
18:37OK, OK, OK.
18:41OK.
18:42See you.
18:44See you.
18:47Yuu is good friends with everyone.
19:01He has been interested in video games since he was a child.
19:06He learned about a documentary.
19:11Fictional actors and real actors.
19:15We say in Italy,
19:18the social actor,
19:20what does it mean?
19:22It means social actor for documentaries.
19:25After graduation, he became a TV director.
19:28He has been filming what is happening now.
19:36In 2017, the 2011 disaster,
19:41doing a reportage in the ghost town of Futaba,
19:45I was looking for the victims' remains,
19:50and I decided to follow this kind of story,
19:55to keep the memory alive about the...
19:58He wants to capture the present of the victims,
20:01and bring those memories to Japan.
20:04My first thing is to create a bond, a friendship,
20:07in order to be trusted.
20:09In fact, I try to do my interviews
20:11always on the last day of shootings.
20:16He completed the work in two years.
20:20I looked for the inside of the rubble,
20:23but I couldn't find it.
20:35The March 11 tsunami,
20:37I think that everyone should remember it.
20:43My hope is that also the people not involved in the documentary
20:47can see themselves in it.
20:52There is something he wants to capture in the rubble.
20:56It's been more than 10 years in the rubble,
20:59and there are still people who remember it.
21:02I'm very grateful for that.
21:04When the shooting starts,
21:06he turns the camera,
21:08and the female director, Davide,
21:11who is a translator,
21:13starts crying.
21:15I'm very grateful for that.
21:17I'm very grateful for that.
21:19I'm very grateful for that.
21:21When the shooting starts,
21:23he turns the camera,
21:25and the female director, Davide,
21:27starts crying.
21:29I'm very grateful for that.
21:31I'm very grateful for that.
21:33I feel like I'm his son.
21:35I feel like I'm his son.
21:37I feel like I'm his son.
21:39I feel like I'm his son.
21:41He lived his life facing the past.
21:44He's still a child.
21:47He's still a child.
21:49Let's go to the film set.
21:53It's so smooth.
21:56It's so smooth.
21:58It's so smooth.
22:04The camera is still rolling.
22:09He's still a child.
22:14He's still a child.
22:20There's a lot left.
22:24There's a car.
22:26This car was swept away by the tsunami.
22:30It was about 10 kilometers away from here.
22:35And the car was swept here.
22:38So you can understand the power of the wave.
22:45A 12-meter wave hit Manabia that day.
23:06What did the people in the city think of Yu's film?
23:11Tell me about it.
23:13I may have said too much.
23:16I'm grateful for that.
23:18I'm a youkai of the ZEV world.
23:21That's the worst.
23:41The next day
23:46I wonder if the people of Kesennuma will come.
23:51Hello.
23:54Nice to meet you.
24:06Anseki.
24:09I'd like to introduce you to director Lorenzo Scaliccia.
24:15Please give him a round of applause.
24:24Good evening, everyone. Thank you for being here.
24:28Thanks to the people here, I was able to better understand what happened.
24:35Japanese culture reacts to calamities and difficulties.
24:41Thank you again for being here.
24:44I hope you enjoy the film.
24:47Thank you very much.
25:05A film by Lorenzo Scaliccia
25:19The hotel I see from here hasn't changed much.
25:25Many people fled to this place.
25:29I felt the danger of their lives.
25:32I freed the people here and led them into the hotel.
25:41Mr. Kato, who closed the hotel,
25:46is now in Kataribe, where the disaster was reported.
25:54I only have the sea. I can't go far away from the sea.
26:00I don't think it will take a long time to build a house.
26:06Mom, why is this place destroyed?
26:09The earthquake and the tsunami destroyed the house and washed it away.
26:16We must never forget.
26:19Kataribe, Japan
26:27The disaster-hit area that Yu drew.
26:32How did he deal with it?
26:42Thank you very much.
26:44I have a question.
26:50Can you make a DVD?
26:57It's hard to move forward if you think too much.
27:04I think it's important to be able to move forward.
27:11I'm very grateful to have been able to do this.
27:21Remembering the disaster, but also being aware that you can look forward.
27:27And smiling, thinking about their future and living and building.
27:36Bye-bye. Thank you.
