00:00But!
00:01Let's go to the airport to continue the 13th year of the Nanishimi New Hoe!
00:04Yu is heading to the Nanishimi New Hoe!
00:14Is a short interview okay?
00:15Can we ask you again?
00:17Yeah, sure.
00:18Oh, thank you!
00:19I'm from Washington, D.C., so...
00:21Yu is heading to the Nanishimi New Hoe?
00:23This time, why did you come to Japan?
00:26Yeah, it's this album.
00:29Mystery Girl.
00:32Chienbi Manabe.
00:37Technopop.
00:39From like the 80s.
00:42Maybe about 12 years ago.
00:44When YouTube, it's only a few hundred views.
00:47Oh, that looks cool.
00:49Press on it.
00:50You know, she put like an alien...
00:52It was like science fiction, kinda.
00:55It was weird.
00:56This is awesome.
00:59I don't get it.
01:02The middle of the idol boom.
01:04The group from 1982.
01:08If it's from 1982, it's an idol group.
01:12Mystery Girl.
01:14Chienbi Manabe.
01:26That's an awesome song.
01:30It's Mahoho.
01:32Pioneer of idol techno.
01:37That's an awesome concept.
01:39It sounds like a video game.
01:41But it was playful.
01:43Chienbi, her stuff is just fun.
01:45And I was painting.
01:46I'm an artist, so...
01:48I was painting and I was working on stuff.
01:50It's like, you put on her...
01:54Chienbi Manabe.
01:56Chienbi Manabe.
01:59Excuse me.
02:00We're a Japanese TV show.
02:02Oh, okay.
02:03Interview okay?
02:04Sure, yeah.
02:06Where are you from?
02:08I'm American.
02:10Do you speak Japanese?
02:11A little.
02:12I speak a little Japanese.
02:15My father lives in Japan.
02:21He lives in Yamanashi Prefecture.
02:24What are you doing in Japan?
02:26Why did you come to Japan this time?
02:28I'm looking forward to spending time with my father.
02:31And to agedashi tofu.
02:36The first thing that I want to eat.
02:38Agedashi tofu is delicious.
02:40Where do you eat it?
03:05It's good.
03:08It's good.
03:11The texture of tofu is very complex.
03:15It has this beautiful, fried, kind of crispy surface.
03:21And on the inside, it's soft and silky and delicate.
03:28I didn't see you.
03:31Excuse me.
03:35Who are you?
03:36How are you?
03:37I'm fine.
03:38I'm learning music from Mr. Yan's father.
03:43I'm a composer.
03:45Is that so?
03:46That's great.
03:51I'm Terry Riley.
03:53Terry Riley.
03:54I'm from Hisaishi-jo.
03:57Your father?
03:58Yes, my father.
04:00Really?
04:01Yeah.
04:03I'm Terry Riley.
04:05Animal music.
04:07This?
04:09Terry Riley?
04:12He's been in Japan for a long time.
04:16He's 89 years old.
04:19Asahi-san.
04:24I was influenced.
04:25That's amazing.
04:27Does your father like agedashi tofu?
04:30Do you eat it together?
04:31Yes.
04:32Maybe tonight.
04:34Tonight?
04:35By chance.
04:36Really?
04:41Because I haven't seen him since June, I think.
04:46So it'll be special to see him before without cameras.
04:53And then I'll talk to him and see what he says.
04:55That's too bad.
04:59Thank you very much.
05:01It looks delicious.
05:02Enjoy it with your father.
05:05It looks like agedashi tofu.
05:07Thank you, agedashi tofu.
05:13This is a popular restaurant.
05:18Terry Riley.
05:19Terry Riley.
05:21This is the best.
05:23It looks delicious.
05:24It looks delicious.
05:25There are a lot of mushrooms.
05:29It looks delicious.
05:30I want to eat this.
05:32He's drinking alcohol.
05:35He's eating a lot.
05:37Hello.
05:38I saw this show.
05:39I'm a fan of it.
05:44I'm from South Korea.
05:47Can I interview you?
05:48Of course.
05:50Why did you come to Japan?
05:53I'm a fan of Goro-san.
05:56It's very entertaining and at the same time very classy.
06:03Who is Goro-san?
06:06It's Kodoku no Gurume.
06:09Kodoku no Gurume.
06:10When we watch in Korea, they translate all the Japanese letters in Korean.
06:15I watched more than 60 different episodes already.
06:19I watched a lot of them.
06:22I really love the show.
06:24My favorite moment of Goro-san is that when he says...
06:28There's always a moment.
06:29He finishes the business meeting.
06:31He stands on the street.
06:33He gets hungry.
06:35He says, I'm hungry.
06:37And then he goes to the restaurant.
06:39This is my favorite moment.
06:40Because I know the next scene will be like he's eating in the restaurant.
06:43I remember that he's saying that this steak tastes...
06:47It's hitting me like uppercut or jab.
06:50He expresses this kind of expression which is very unique for Koreans.
06:54I really love it.
06:57Kodoku no Gurume.
06:58I'm hungry.
07:00I'm hungry.
07:05I like this.
07:07Goro-san plays Yutaka Matsushige.
07:10It's a gourmet drama about eating alone.
07:14It looks delicious.
07:17He knows Yutaka Matsushige, so he likes it.
07:22The hard sauce and the pork shabu-shabu.
07:26This is it.
07:28He's about to be hit by a nice combination punch.
07:33Goro-san went to this restaurant.
07:35He's trying to explore where they sell house type of food.
07:40I want to go there.
07:42By the way, is there a restaurant you want to go?
07:45I think there should be at least one Yakyudon dedicated restaurant.
07:49So I came for this time to get a Yakyudon.
07:52Because I'm a big noodle lover.
07:55I love it.
08:00By the way, can I go with you to the police station?
08:05I think that would be very perfect.
08:07I would be very honored.
08:09He refused to go to the police station.
08:11The police station is over there.
08:17Is that the police station?
08:20There he is.
08:22Hello, Mr. Kento.
08:24He's dressing up as a gourmet.
08:28He's wearing a suit.
08:30Why is he wearing a suit?
08:32I brought a suit.
08:35This is interesting.
08:38People who like anime often dress up like that.
08:45Mr. Goro is here.
08:50Mr. Goro is here.
08:52I love you, Mr. Goro.
08:54I feel very excited today.
08:56I don't know much about Japan.
08:58So it's hard for me to talk to people at the airport.
09:01Let's go to the train station.
09:04Many people from Korea and China dress up like this.
09:09I feel lonely.
09:11I think I remember this scene.
09:13Mr. Goro was doing like this.
09:19I'm very happy to be here.
09:21Because that was one of my favorite episodes.
09:27Sometimes the day might be going not really well.
09:30But you should still believe in your happiness.
09:32And try to find the happiness from the small things.
09:35And that was the main reason why I was here.
09:41I see.
09:42He's wearing a suit.
09:45He has a good sense of humor.
09:47I'm sorry about that.
09:49Can I cancel this episode?
09:53What?
09:54Mr. Goro is depressed.
09:56He's eating alone.
09:58Did I make a mistake?
10:07I think this is the place.
10:10You have fishing also here.
10:12Just like how Mr. Goro did it.
10:16I wanna try.
10:17Let's go.
10:26Okay.
10:29He looks like a Korean actor.
10:31He looks cool.
10:33Maybe this one?
10:38Fishing?
10:40There was a scene like this.
10:42So this is the place where Mr. Goro sits.
10:45And he had the fishing here.
10:49I really like the episode.
10:51I wanna do it by myself too.
10:53I think he's doing the same thing.
10:57He's depressed.
11:00He's doing the same thing.
11:02Fishing?
11:05Why?
11:07Finished.
11:08Ready.
11:09Is it over?
11:11My nose is running.
11:13Okay.
11:15Already?
11:16Yes.
11:17Could you please translate for me?
11:21Hello.
11:23Excuse me.
11:24I came to this restaurant because of the show.
11:27But did you have any chance to watch Godoko no Gourmet?
11:30I've been watching it since season 1.
11:35Do you have any episode that you remember?
11:38Or maybe food that he ate?
11:43Yaki udon.
11:46I'll go eat later yaki udon.
11:48Yaki udon.
11:51I wonder if he has eaten yaki udon.
11:53I think he has.
11:56He's from this area.
11:58Good afternoon.
12:00I came here because I'm a big fan of Godoko no Gourmet.
12:04I saw that Mr. Goro was sitting somewhere.
12:07I want to sit in the same place.
12:09Can you please help me to find the spot?
12:11About 10 years ago,
12:13when I filmed Godoko no Gourmet,
12:16Mr. Goro sat here and ate.
12:21But now, the restaurant has been renovated.
12:24So I made a new seat for him.
12:30Customers.
12:33That's not right.
12:34Thank you so much for sharing.
12:36Maybe I'll find the spot here and I'll make the order now.
12:39I can't wait.
12:42It looks like this.
12:44What is this?
12:46It's amazing.
12:48Finally, we're here.
12:54They can eat and enjoy at the same time.
12:57There's a restaurant.
13:00There are a lot of fish.
13:02Fishing was very popular.
13:05It looks delicious.
13:07Oyako-don and curry are popular.
13:12But why did Mr. Goro decide to come here?
13:15It's true.
13:18Hello.
13:19Excuse me.
13:20Do you have Yaki-udon?
13:21We have Yaki-udon.
13:23One Yaki-udon, please.
13:25He's like a character.
13:27I can't believe I just met him and talked to him.
13:31He's like an actor.
13:33Here's your Yaki-udon.
13:36It looks delicious.
13:39It looks just like from the show.
13:42I'm so happy that I could come and they still have this restaurant.
13:46And I'm very excited to try it out.
13:49I just want to open my phone, get a flight ticket and go to that place.
13:55Yaki-udon.
13:57It looks delicious.
14:00He's not on a strange adventure.
14:03It's hard to eat Yaki-udon.
14:06I eat it several times a year.
14:08I've been wanting to come here for months.
14:12I think it's a good idea to come here.
14:22I haven't eaten Yaki-udon.
14:23Me neither.
14:24I still eat Yakisoba, but I haven't eaten Yaki-udon.
14:28Do they have Yaki-udon in Izakaya?
14:30I haven't eaten it.
14:34It looks delicious.
14:36This is so good.
14:37It looks delicious.
14:38The rich flavor of each ingredient in this Yaki-udon.
14:42Soy sauce, soy sauce, meat and bonito flakes.
14:47It's great.
14:48This is the best Yaki-udon I've ever tried.
14:52I was confused with Yakisoba.
14:54But this is the right answer.
14:56I'm so happy.
14:58Grou loves Yaki-udon.
15:03Let's eat together.
15:07It's really good.
15:12This sauce wasn't in this Yaki-udon.
15:15I just realized it.
15:17Thank you so much for having me in this restaurant.
15:19I came here all the way from Korea.
15:22To see Goro's favorite Yaki-udon place.
15:26I really loved it.
15:27It's the best Yaki-udon I've ever tried in my life.
15:30I came here all the way from Korea.
15:34Stories come true.
15:40Next, I want to go to another special restaurant.
15:44It's amazing.
15:45There are many restaurants in this area.
15:47I think it's not limited to this area.
15:55His job is a salesman.
15:57They look similar.
15:59I see.
16:00It looks like a Korean version.
16:02Even though he's hungry when he goes out.
16:17He doesn't go to a restaurant.
16:20He goes to a convenience store every day.
16:27He eats alone.
16:31It was really impressive that he ate alone.
16:33And he was so confident about it.
16:35Watching his shows, I feel more comfortable eating alone.
16:39I'm not afraid to try out new things by myself.
16:45He ate alone in Korea.
16:46He came to Kichijoji.
16:51The next menu is to experience Western and Asian cultures.
16:56I didn't have a chance.
16:57So, I'm very excited.
17:04Excuse me.
17:05Somewhere should be here.
17:16This is the place.
17:26Here it is.
17:29Thank you very much.
17:32Hello.
17:33Excuse me.
17:35Thank you very much.
17:41This place is very nice.
17:43I can feel the history.
17:47There is a movie poster over there.
17:50It's an old poster.
17:51This is the sign of the main character, Matsushige.
17:56This is the sign of the time he came here.
18:03The seat next to me is the seat where the movie was filmed.
18:08It's the same seat.
18:10It's the same seat.
18:12Thank you so much.
18:15Very lucky.
18:17The amount of hair is different.
18:19Excuse me.
18:22There are more people.
18:24One Napolitan pasta and a set of hamburgers.
18:29Thank you very much.
18:31Koro-san was eating the same full set meal.
18:34So, I'm going to try the exact same meal as Koro-san.
18:37Napolitan and hamburgers.
18:39When I finish eating, I'll look at other people and eat more.
18:44It's a Showa-retro restaurant full of volume that fascinated Koro-san.
18:50It's a restaurant full of volume.
18:55This is Napolitan.
18:57It's a lot of food.
19:01This is Napolitan.
19:04I'm very excited now.
19:06Look at this view.
19:07It's very beautiful.
19:09Kichijoji?
19:10Kichijoji's Kayashimasa.
19:11It looks delicious.
19:13It's an exciting set.
19:14It's a set.
19:16It's a very good place.
19:19It's a very nostalgic Napolitan.
19:24Thank you for the meal.
19:36It's really delicious.
19:39The sauce is just amazing.
19:42The flavor is very rich.
19:44It doesn't have sweet or sour flavor.
19:48It matches with the pasta very well.
19:52Now, it's time for the hamburger.
19:59It's delicious.
20:02Actually, that's a very good idea.
20:03Let's try.
20:04I will eat hamburger.
20:07And with pasta.
20:09Napolitan pasta.
20:10It's like meatball spaghetti.
20:11I see.
20:14It's delicious.
20:17It's the best.
20:24Now, it's a food fight.
20:28It's Roro's style.
20:29It's Roro's style.
20:33The pasta just hit me the right hook.
20:35The meat just hit me the left jab.
20:38And the veggies just throw me the uppercut.
20:41It makes my stomach dancing now.
20:45It's all gone.
20:54Thank you for the meal.
20:56I ate it all.
20:59You just ate Yakyudon.
21:02Where are you from?
21:03Where are you from?
21:04I'm from Korea.
21:05South Korea.
21:06South Korea is very popular.
21:08I see.
21:11Yes, it's very famous.
21:12Many of us know the show.
21:14We know Goro.
21:15We enjoy watching the show.
21:17I have one question.
21:19Have you ever seen Goro in person?
21:26Can you please tell me how he is?
21:43I heard so.
21:46That's very nice.
21:47I want to be like him.
21:48Very gentle man.
21:51He is a gentle man.
21:52You look like him.
21:56Thank you for the meal.
22:03Let's go.
22:04What?
22:05Not yet?
22:07No way.
22:09You must be full.
22:12I'm full.
22:15I want to try out some Japanese home-cooked meal.
22:19I can't touch it.
22:21Did you lose weight?
22:25It's here.
22:29It looks delicious.
22:38Thank you so much.
22:40Somen.
22:42Somen.
22:44I can't touch it.
22:46Did you lose weight?
22:47No.
22:50It's here.
22:54I remember this yellow sign.
22:59Thank you so much.
23:04Hello.
23:08What a nice restaurant.
23:09Here it is.
23:11This is Buri no Teriyaki.
23:15You look so happy.
23:17Buri no Teriyaki.
23:18I didn't have a chance.
23:19So I'm very excited.
23:20It looks delicious.
23:22I haven't eaten Buri no Teriyaki.
23:25It looks delicious.
23:26It's the same menu as Goro's.
23:29Thank you for the meal.
23:31I remember Goro was doing like this.
23:34It looks good.
23:40Beneath the crackling armor of caramelized perfection,
23:44the Buri's tender flesh melts just like wine.
23:50Very nicely matches with the Buri.
23:56I did it.
23:58It's really delicious.
24:00Have you ever seen Goro-san?
24:05He's a very cunning person.
24:08He's a very nice person.
24:13It's very interesting.
24:16It's the best.
24:20He eats a lot.
24:24Thank you for the meal.
24:25Thank you for the meal.
24:32I'm full.
24:34I really enjoyed it.
24:37It's 520 yen.
24:41I always dream to go to those restaurants.
24:45I feel very happy.
24:46And that's something that I'm going to practice when I go back home.
24:50Right now, I'm going to go watch Goro's Gourmet.
24:53So I will excuse myself.
24:56Goodbye.
24:57I'm leaving.
25:00Thank you for the meal.
