00:00♪♪
00:09♪♪
00:17I'm sweet.
00:18-♪♪
00:30I'm looking forward to the game.
00:32I'll do my best.
00:38Let's go!
00:40The country of samba is the hottest at this time of year.
00:47Rio's carnival started two weeks ago.
00:53The main event is the world's largest parade.
01:00This parade is actually a spectacular contest.
01:08Teams compete for the sense of unity of the dance and the artistic quality of the costumes.
01:20Teams aiming for each region like soccer aim for the top leagues.
01:26If you stand at the top, you'll get a prize of 100 million yen.
01:33In the top leagues, there are Japanese dancers who have competed for 28 years in a row.
01:41Samba dancer Yoji Nakajima.
01:45He's a reliable foreign skater.
01:50It's like a dream.
01:52It's like a dream.
01:56That's why I can't give up.
01:59The way he calls the audience.
02:02The samba school needs to be enchanted.
02:06His achievements are known in Japan.
02:08He was also featured in a movie that is currently being released.
02:12However, as long as he's not a local top dancer, he doesn't have the appearance fee for the carnival.
02:21Life in Japan and Brazil is full of ups and downs.
02:30A lot of people don't know about the carnival.
02:34But he's always carrying a torch.
02:40I don't think I've ever experienced the happiness of building a house,
02:45holding hands with my children, and spending time with my family.
02:53I don't think I've ever experienced that.
02:59There's nothing that shines without a torch.
03:02The 52-year-old has been dancing for a week.
03:11The temperature is 37 degrees Celsius.
03:14Rio de Janeiro is in the midst of summer.
03:20Nakajima appears in a different place than he promised.
03:25It's been a while.
03:26It's been a while.
03:27I'm sorry.
03:29I'm sorry.
03:30Were you surprised?
03:32I was going to go shopping on my way back from the gym.
03:38He's been spending every year at the carnival from two months ago.
03:52He's been living in Japan and Brazil for 30 years.
03:58It's easy.
04:00It's easy.
04:05You are?
04:07I'm LDK.
04:09He's been renting a room for a year as a place to put his clothes and tools.
04:21He started making costumes.
04:29It's unusual for a dancer to make his own costumes.
04:35He's from the U.S.A. and he's very skillful.
04:49The design is instructed by a team director.
04:59He's been trying until just before the show to make the costume the right size.
05:08The triangle is straight.
05:09And it looks like a horn.
05:12It looks cool in the design, but I changed it because I thought it wouldn't look good on my face.
05:19I changed it.
05:25He says he's particular about the parts.
05:32I'm going to put this here.
05:35It's a strong spring that he collected from China.
05:42It's about this big.
05:44Wow, that's a lot.
05:46That's a lot.
05:48It's about this big in terms of position and location.
05:53It's like the wings of a swan's butt.
05:55It's short.
05:57Everything else is made of fabric.
05:59The type of fabric is different.
06:02He has his own unique way of doing things.
06:07I have to bring it back to Japan and move it.
06:10When I make a costume, I make sure I can dismantle everything.
06:15I assemble it and make it into a costume, but I also calculate how much it will come off later.
06:20That's how I make it.
06:23When I make it into a ball like this, it's all divided into small pieces.
06:27To be honest, it's a company secret when I make a costume.
06:32I have to finish it all by myself.
06:34I have to make it as compact as possible and not break it.
06:37And I have to go and come back.
06:39I had to do a lot of trial and error to come up with this.
06:47Stop it. Stop it.
06:53Not many dancers ask for costumes.
06:58It was also an important source of income.
07:02It's cheaper to buy a costume here than in Tokyo.
07:08This color is cool.
07:10It's fashionable.
07:12Don't you think so?
07:15It's great.
07:16It's a little different.
07:19It's very similar.
07:20Very similar?
07:22It's a little different.
07:24It's a little different, but it's close.
07:27It's close, but it's good.
07:29I'll take these two.
07:30Two?
07:31Yes.
07:32What else?
07:33This one.
07:34Will you close it for me?
07:36Yes.
07:38Today I want a dish with vegetables, the way it is.
07:44There is no freedom in Portuguese.
07:47Some people ask me where I was born in Brazil.
07:51Yes.
07:58Born in 1972 in Kanagawa.
08:04His father was a former actor.
08:07But he couldn't get a job.
08:12It was harder for Nakajima to rely on his father than on his life.
08:22Sadness and loneliness.
08:25The bright rhythm of samba permeated.
08:30He was shocked when he came to the show for the first time at the age of 20.
08:38I came to the audience for the first time.
08:41There was a light and I was watching.
08:43Obviously, people here seemed to have more fun than the audience.
08:46I was over there.
08:48I was over there, but I thought I wanted to be on this side.
08:55No, no, no, I want to be there.
08:57I don't know if it's right or left.
08:59I came from the situation.
09:05I feel this music.
09:06Why?
09:17Let's stop it.
09:20Can Japanese people play samba?
09:23Nakajima started training in Brazil.
09:26The surroundings were cold.
09:29But in just two years, he grabbed an important position.
09:36Since then, he has been making money as a costume maker and dancer in Japan.
09:41He continued to participate in carnivals.
09:51The actual performance was approaching.
10:03Nakajima went to practice with the team.
10:05The number of members is 3,000.
10:11There is harmony in the whole at the festival.
10:14In other words, there are also items of harmony and unity.
10:21The communication between the members unites the hearts.
10:25There is a BGM.
10:32The parade is held at the time of which it is decided.
10:35That's the first thing that the players must do.
10:39This is the fourth.
10:41The fifth.
10:45The sixteenth.
10:47The seventh.
10:49The eighth.
10:50Parade will be the starting point if you can't proceed within the time limit.
11:01The members were checking the tempo of the progress while being instructed by the staff of the pacemaker.
11:12Nakajima is a solo dancer who dances in the space set in the middle of the line.
11:21There is no set choreography.
11:27It was the first time in 28 years to hold the key to the excitement of how to ride or let ride.
11:38However, it is difficult for 3,000 people to move at a constant speed.
11:54The line was congested for a long time, and the space in Nakajima was under pressure.
12:01There is also a strong spring of Oubli in the performance.
12:08There was no anxiety.
12:1652 years old.
12:19It is rare to see dancers of the same age in Brazil.
12:31He doesn't think about retirement.
12:36But sometimes his heart is about to break.
12:43At that time, Nakajima remembers a word that his late father left behind.
12:50I always carry my passport with me.
12:56I always carry this picture with me.
13:00My father always carries this picture with him when he is shooting a movie.
13:09As an actor, Nakajima is a person who has a strong sense of responsibility.
13:15As an actor, Nakajima is a person who has a strong sense of responsibility.
13:26It's not admiration, but it's a great influence.
13:31I didn't have the courage to succeed in this world.
13:45I've been successful since I was a kid.
13:50My father told me that I should follow the path I didn't succeed in.
13:56My father told me that I should follow the path I didn't succeed in.
14:15On the day of the performance.
14:37The main venue, the center of Rio, is full of people.
14:45The main venue, the center of Rio, is full of people.
15:01In fact, Nakajima was not only waiting for the team, but also for himself.
15:15Nakajima was not only waiting for the team, but also for himself.
15:22I have to leave my fingerprints.
15:25I've been broadcasting live for 3,000 days.
15:29I have to leave my fingerprints.
15:34I have to leave my fingerprints.

15:56After class 22.
15:59Between class 22 and 23.
16:02Between class 22 and 23.
16:09The scheduled time to start is 1 p.m.
16:13However, due to the delay of the previous team, it took more than an hour.
16:22Something is wrong with Nakajima.
16:26I can't swim in such a situation.
16:33Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom.
16:36Do you have a stomachache?
16:38I'm going to the bathroom.
16:42After class 22.
16:45Between class 22 and 23.
17:04It started at 3 a.m.
17:13Nakajima was on board.
17:32There was plenty of space to worry about.
17:42I'm going to the bathroom.
17:46The cameramen gather around the ship.
17:51I'm going to the bathroom.
17:54I'm going to the bathroom.
17:57I'm going to the bathroom.
18:00I'm going to the bathroom.
18:03I'm going to the bathroom.
18:06The broadcast was broadcasted by the TV station One Shot.
18:10The broadcast was broadcasted by the TV station One Shot.
18:40The broadcast was broadcasted by the TV station One Shot.
18:58The result was a shame.
19:01However, the excitement of the team and the gorgeous costumes were highly evaluated.
19:11On the way back from the carnival.
19:22On the way back from the carnival.
19:25There was another big event waiting for Nakajima.
19:31On the way back from the carnival.
19:34On the way back from the carnival.
19:37Good afternoon.
19:40Nakajima visited the team of the Cup League, which aims to win.
19:52The staff of the club had an offer.
19:55And other Indians will come here together.
19:59Another carnival together.
20:01We also went there to win.
20:04In this car here.
20:07He is the first highlight of this car here.
20:10He comes in this position, behind this angel here.
20:13What was entrusted to him was to dance on the dashi, the last decoration of the line-up.
20:21And the best thing for us in the carnival is the championship.
20:26There is no midterm, no second, no third, there is the championship.
20:32The parade venue of the Cup League is a normal street in the suburbs.
20:41Visitors are free, and stalls are lined up around.
21:01I like to enjoy the carnival with the local people.
21:07It's fun to be with them.
21:12I love it here too.
21:22There is no midterm camera.
21:24I love it here!
21:27There are only local people in the parade.
21:55This is also ... no, this is the carnival.
22:19Samba dancer.
22:22Samba dancer.
22:25The summer of Nakajima Yoji is over.
22:33It's a real carnival.
22:36It's like my life.
22:41Yes, because I'm a girl.
22:46OK.
22:57Do you think your life is better here or in Japan?
23:01Wow, what a question you ask!
23:04Well, for me, to work, to make money, it's much better in Japan.
23:11But for you, to enjoy life here in Brazil, in Rio, it's much better.
23:21And when you grow up, what do you want to be? What is your dream?
23:25I don't know.
23:27Really?
23:29I was like that when I was a child, I always liked to dream.
23:33But for you to achieve your dream, you have to dedicate yourself, study, do what you like, never give up.
23:43Because you are a Carioca, so you can never give up, right?
23:46It's Carioca that they say, a Carioca never gives up.
23:48Exactly, so never give up.
23:53Bye.
23:55See you later.
23:57Bye.
23:59Bye.
24:01The dazzle and loneliness of pursuing a dream.
24:07Light and darkness were melting into the sky of Rio.
24:13The next episode is about a character that everyone knows.
24:18This character.
24:20Actually, this person made it.
24:23I want to make a character that only I can do.
