Go to the ends of the world, Q!
- Today's first episode is... - What is it?
- Exploration Team 12! - Exploration Team 12!
- It's different! - This time,
we'll explore Iriomote Island in Okinawa Prefecture.
- Iriomote! - It's an adventure!
- Bring it to exploration! - Yes!
Iriomote Island has the largest area on Yayama Island.
It's a jungle with 90% or more planet earth.
- It's a jungle! - Iriomote mountain cats and cambry wasps,
and other precious plant species, live here.
They have their own ecosystem.
There are three items you can get there.
- Three? - This phantom gun.
- Iriomote Mountain. - It's hard!
- It's hard!
- And... - It's a jungle.
- It's a phantom waterfall. - It's a phantom waterfall.
- Is it for real? - Is it for real?
- And... - And...
- It's a mysterious flower... - It's a mysterious flower...
- that blooms once a year. - that blooms once a year.
- It's amazing! - It's amazing!
This time, we'll look for two or three items.
We'll also look for calendar photos!
Two new members have joined us.
- New members? - Can you introduce yourselves?
- You're beautiful. - Well...
- I'm a second-year lady. - Don't be so nervous.
- Your fingers are shaking. - No, I'm not.
- I'm a second-year lady. - Don't be so scared.
Your name is fine.
I'm a second-year lady.
- I'm a second-year lady. - Second-year?
I'm looking forward to Okinawa for the first time.
It's not a trip.
It's an adventure!
What kind of adventure will there be?
Mysterious Adventure Parade
One Step to the End of the World
"One Step to the End of the World" has just begun!
Tonight, we'll be exploring Miyagawa.
We'll also be touring China and Japan.
This show is brought to you by...
Mitsubishi Electric.
Shimizu Construction.
Santory.
Kao.
- It's sponsored by Honda and E.ON. - This is going to be a blast!
A big adventure is about to begin!
Miyagou Exploration Team!
An adventure in Iriomote Island, Okinawa!
Miyagou Exploration Team! You can tell just by looking at them! They're amazing!
Episode Twelve! In Iriomote Island!
We came to Iriomote Island's mysterious temple, Uehara Temple!
Wait a minute! You fixed your eyebrows, didn't you?
No, I didn't.
You fixed them, didn't you?
I did.
Why did you say you fixed them?
Are you going to show it on TV?
It's true.
Show me your hand.
No, I'm just exploring.
This color is perfect for sunburn.
I drank it.
You drank it?
I drank it.
What?
Sunburn is a drinking age.
Is that so?
That's how it is now.
It's a drinking age.
Sunburn is also a drinking age.
Let's say it together.
One, two...
Sunburn is also a drinking age.
Yes, that's how it is now.
It's been two years.
Their first mission is...
Take a picture of Iriomote Yamaneko, a celestial monument.
They'll be guided by Iriomote Island's tour guide, Mr Morimoto.
Iriomote Island is the second largest island in Okinawa.
If you look closely, there are a lot of rivers.
That's amazing.
Yamaneko can now swim to survive on this island.
They can also dive.
They can dive?
Yes, Yamaneko can't eat anything.
They can eat anything?
Yes, anything.
Iriomote Yamaneko not only climbs mountains, but also takes prey from rivers.
This is rare compared to other pets.
They have excellent hunting skills and have survived since ancient times.
But they were discovered only 55 years ago.
This ecosystem still has a lot of mysteries.
They are rarely photographed or seen.
They are extremely rare.
I see.
Will we be able to take a picture this time?
It's all about luck, isn't it?
Would you like to drink something good to cheer you up?
Gyoutei.
This month's drink is Gyoutei.
The president is very afraid of snakes.
He has a great sense of smell even before drinking it.
It's a lot of snakes.
It evaporates and becomes fluffy.
Is this the taste of Habuu?
Iwashita team showed a good reaction.
Ouch!
You hit me!
Iwashita team.
Let's look for Yamaneko.
Yamaneko is a night school student.
Ten infrared cameras can be used there.
When a creature passes in front of the camera, the sensor reacts and starts recording automatically.
This place is also often seen.
This is Shoyu Udon.
I ate it here before.
It's a little dangerous, isn't it?
That's why you wear a helmet.
I'll wear a helmet.
That's right.
Like this.
Iriomote Yamaneko!
Ouch!
That's not it.
I'm sorry, Moomoo.
That's not it.
That's not how you wear it.
That's right.
You like it.
Like this.
Ouch!
That's not it.
You like it.
I'm sorry, Mr. Omura.
That's right. That's right.
Like this.
No, I mean...
I'll eat you up. I'll eat you up.
You idiot!
You're wrong!
I'm sorry, but do you have a helmet?
Let me see.
You don't, do you?
You really don't.
They enter the showroom.
It's cold.
The entrance is small enough for people to pass by.
But the view is spectacular beyond that.
Yes, it is. It's beautiful.
Is this a cave that was buried here?
Yes, it was buried here.
Wow, what is this tree?
But there are a lot of bamboo shoot trees.
Yes.
On the southern island, it rains a lot and soil flows.
As a result, you can't dig deep.
I see.
That's why it's supported by bamboo shoot.
I see.
(Bamboo shoot)
Around here, there are a lot of animals that feed on wild cats.
There it is.
- Bamboo shoot. - I'll eat it.
It's night-time and it's like this during the day.
It looks like a bamboo shoot, but it's actually a spider.
- Is this bamboo shoot? - Yes.
It's different from what I expected.
- You're from Okinawa, right? - Yes.
- Sunahama. - Yes.
- Hibiscus. - Yes.
So far...
Forest.
Sweat.
Bamboo shoot.
This is our Okinawa.
- Let's go! - You look cool.
You look cool.
They set up cameras all over the forest.
I hope you'll enjoy it.
They set up a camera and start filming in two days.
Will they be able to catch wild cats?
Next, they procure food in the jungle.
However, most of Iriomote Island is a protected area by the government.
It's prohibited to capture the same plants without permission.
This time, they procure food in the jungle that Morimoto owns.
What the captain noticed is...
The moss is delicious, isn't it?
It's more than 100 meters long.
Isn't it heavy?
Will you eat it?
Fear!
A member of Iriomote Island is quietly attacked by a huge moss.
Is it like this?
Yes, it is.
It went through here.
Is it a strategy to use a bottle as a weight and hook a rope?
Nice!
Okay, it's hooked.
The problem is the moss-like thing around the mouth.
Actually, Morimoto-san told me this.
It's easy to scatter and it hurts a lot when it gets into your eyes.
This is what Morimoto-san was warned about in order to save Iriomote Island.
Please take a look at it.
A pet bottle-throwing moss.
It's different, isn't it?
The second one hits the mouth and a lot of powder accumulates.
And...
Oh, no!
Listen to me!
It quietly pierced the moss.
Listen to me!
Other members of Iriomote Island take measures like pulling their tongue out when the powder accumulates.
But Iriomote Islanders don't know the word "confirmation".
Iriomote Islanders don't know the word "confirmation".
Moss that scatters over and over again.
Look down! Look down!
A man who looks up over and over again.
Iriomote Islanders don't know the word "confirmation".
Did you catch a cold?
The position...
Oh, no!
Look down!
I think I know what it is.
You often catch a cold.
And...
It quietly fades out.
As a result of this happening, Iwashita temporarily leaves.
After that, the rest of the team safely collects the giant brown rice.
As well as bananas.
You can steam or grill this.
Kase, who knows the jungle, also discovers ingredients.
Can you eat this raw?
I think it would be delicious if you boil it and make a tempura.
Really?
They eat dinner with the ingredients they collected.
First of all, giant brown rice.
Boil it and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
Fry it with eggs and make a tempura.
Let's enjoy Okinawa with this.
Still hard bananas are made into Okinawan-style tempura.
Kase cooks deliciously.
Stir-fry it with sesame oil and season it with salt.
It's good.
What are you doing with your hands?
Let's eat.
Banana tempura.
It looks delicious.
It's slightly sweet and has a texture similar to sweet potato or chestnut.
It's rich.
Next is giant brown rice.
It's delicious.
It's a rich forest.
Stir-fry it with shiitake mushrooms.
It tastes good.
But it doesn't have a good texture.
It doesn't have a good texture at all.
On the contrary...
It's day two of their adventure.
- It's 5 a.m. - That's early.
- Good morning, everyone. - Good morning.
- Good morning.
The director himself doesn't look too happy.
Their goal for the day is...
We're going to see flowers.
Mysterious flowers that bloom only once a year.
Looks like we're going in there.
Those flowers are in the middle of mangroves.
- This is a mangrove. - It's like a jungle.
This one?
- That's it. - This one?
Yes, that flower is called "sagari-bana".
- Sagari-bana? - It smells good.
Sagari-bana bloom once a year, both during the day and at night.
- Wow! - By growing in groups,
they create a sweet and strong scent in the forest...
and attract insects that help them.
- Insects are coming. - On this island,
there are many nocturnal insects.
They aim for the right timing for them to act.
I see.
And when morning comes...
- It's falling! - What?
No way!
Good work!
- Why is it falling? - The flowers that completed their duties...
wither away.
No way!
- And... - Wow!
- This is amazing! - What is this?
Wow! This is amazing!
Thousands of sagari-bana fill the water's surface.
- It's so beautiful! - Since the flowers wither away quickly,
you can only see them in the morning for a short period of time.
It's a mysterious sight.
Why don't you all take a picture with a canoe?
Okay, cheese!
- They took a fantastic picture. - It's beautiful!
On the other side of the river, there is a famous spot in the area.
Do you see the tree on your right?
- This one? - Yes.
Gackt came up from the river and grabbed this tree.
I don't know what you're talking about.
This is the location of Gackt's leading role in "Carlan".
Gackt grabbed a mangrove and came up from the water.
When Gackt got too excited, he made him grab a pine tree.
Shall we try it?
Come up and grab a mangrove and make a cool face.
A massacre! Men appear from the water.
- Are they men? - There they are!
(Gackt)
- What are you doing? - What are you doing?
(Gackt)
It's a secret!
Captain Gackt showed us a brilliant performance.
- Captain Gackt. - He dives deep and creates silence.
He creates silence.
(Captain Gackt)
- I'm counting on you, Captain Gackt. - Amazing!
(Gackt)
It's so hot!
(Gackt)
- Wow! - It's crispy!
That afternoon...
We checked if a mangrove cat was caught.
We checked if it was in the clip.
What happened?
- I bought it. - You bought it?
- It was a gift for Iriomote Mangrove Cat. - When did you say that?
- When Captain wasn't there. - Did you say it?
I'd like to go too. I want souvenirs.
The number of times they were recorded in two days is more than 50 times.
Is Yamaneko in the video?
Captain finds something!
A boar!
Look! That tunnel!
Boar?
Over there!
In addition!
Yes, it is.
What is this?
Something is there.
Oh! Oh! It's true!
What is this?
I don't know.
What is this?
The movement is like a cat.
It is like a cat, but I wonder what it is?
Ah, this is a boar.
After that, the boar continues!
A boar, again!
That's amazing. There are about three woodpeckers.
That's cute.
And you, Tencho and Jisai?
Two old men are in the picture.
No way!
We don't need that!
That's a shame.
As a result, the mountain cat wasn't in the picture.
However, recently, a local research facility succeeded in filming in exactly the same way as we did.
Here is the video.
Is this a kitten?
Just a few months old kitten captures insects.
I caught it!
You wanted to capture it, didn't you?
Yes, I did.
This camera was placed in 100 places for four months.
Four months in 100 places.
Four months.
Ten kittens in two days.
That's impossible!
The last day.
On this day, they will finally aim for the phantom waterfall!
Good morning, everyone!
Good morning!
The wind is nice!
Good morning!
Shut up!
It seems like it's going to be really tough today.
It's called Mayagusk Waterfall.
It's a phantom waterfall that hasn't been discovered in recent years because it's buried in the jungle.
The big adventure is finally about to begin!
Urauchi River is home to Japan's largest mangrove forest.
And there is a phantom Mayagusk Waterfall at the top of the river.
Due to the width of the river, it only takes 30 minutes by boat.
It's half a day's walk from here.
Entering the forest and feeling a unique heat.
Isn't it hotter than Amazon?
It's hot!
The center of the waterfall they're aiming for is barren, so it's always windless.
The humidity is over 90%.
It's so hot!
For example, it's tough to keep walking in the greenhouse.
And it's fast to put on your seatbelt.
Camping is prohibited for protected areas.
They have to go back and forth for a day.
It's a battle against time.
Will we make it in one hour?
If we can't make it in time...
Going at a high pace for an hour!
This is not a phantom waterfall!
This is a waterfall at the entrance to a phantom waterfall!
It's amazing!
The waterfall is about 250 meters in length.
Once upon a time, the gods of Iriomote Island gathered here and had a conversation.
It is said to be a sacred place.
It's their first break here!
Can we all go in?
They cool down and prepare for a heatstroke.
Everyone, you should wear it.
If you don't wear it, you won't be able to hold it.
- Iwasa. - Yes?
- What is that? - It's my usual swimsuit.
It must be hot!
- You don't wear it, do you? - No.
What's your record?
- I'm 9th in the world. - That's amazing!
- That's amazing!
No, you can't go in there!
Shut up!
Can we all go in?
The camera team takes off their clothes and goes in without getting their equipment wet.
Wait a minute.
- Omori. - Yes?
What are you wearing?
- Is your sister here? - She's not here.
- She's not here? - No, she's not.
- What about your sister? - She's here.
Did you go into your sister's underwear by mistake?
- No, I didn't. - You didn't?
Why did you go into your sister's underwear and try to take off your clothes like that?
No matter how cool you look, you have to get wet.
- Is it good? - It's good.
- Try it. - Okay.
It's good.
It's like a waterfall.
A phantom waterfall that you aim for on an island of medicine.
But it's still far away.
The road is getting harder and harder.
There are various dangers lurking in the forest.
Be careful not to get hurt.
He's warning himself and hitting the rock again.
Be careful not to get hurt.
And...
It's a snake!
Seriously, it's a snake.
It's a herb!
A herb with poison!
Be careful not to get hurt.
It's disgusting!
In addition to herbs, the forest is also full of beasts.
It's a lot of them.
It's a kingfisher and its friends.
It's amazing.
A rare kingfisher that stands upright.
It's a rare and precious sight.
And...
It's a turtle! A turtle!
A japanese turtle!
Amazing! Amazing! There are turtles in places like this!
Yaiyama Semaru Hakogamen, one of Japan's most famous monuments.
You can do it!
Seven hours after departure...
They finally catch a phantom waterfall.
I think I saw it over there.
Where?
A phantom waterfall.
We're almost there!
We did it, everyone!
And...
This is the waterfall!
Let's see it!
It stands upright in the valley of the jungle.
It's a Mayagusuku waterfall.
It's a pyramid-shaped waterfall with many layers.
This is rare.
When there isn't much water, you can walk up it.
Members of each team take each other's hands and go to the top.
We're here!
Let's go!
The waterfall begins at Kyuryu.
From there, it opens at once and a pyramid-shaped rock falls down.
Electricity and water supplies are extremely rare on such high conditions.
It's the best goal that luck has blessed us with.
What's that? Is it a speedometer?
Again, it's a manly tree.
Bad, bad, bad.
No matter what I do, I can't stop crying.
I'm crying all of a sudden.
I'm so happy that I got a job and a nice scenery in a place like this.
Thank you so much.
So, Kyuryu Motejima's adventure.
He was able to take many photos,
but his calendar was decided to be this one.
Kyuryu Motejima.
It was an amazing adventure.
Wonderful.
Thank you so much.
I'm glad we could go to the waterfall under such good conditions.
How about you, Kurosawa?
My calendar hasn't been released for a while, so I think Kase-san's calendar has been released.
I'm not sure if Kase-san's calendar has been cut or not.
I'm sure he's been doing it.
I'm glad you cut Kase-san's calendar.
I think so, too.
It's more irritating than this.
More than salt?
It's more irritating than salt.
Let's move on.
Thank you for coming in the morning.
Next is this.
"Global Hunter Imoto Japan Tour"!
Aiming for Japan's 47 autonomous prefectures,
Global Hunter Imoto Japan Tour!
The 4th episode this time is...
Niigata Prefecture!
Hello! Hello, hello, hello! I'm Imoto!
I'm now in Niigata Prefecture's Satoga Island!
Now then, where are you?
Now then, let's find Imoto!
No, that's not it.
There she is! There she is!
I'm here! I'm here! I'm here!
I'm here!
The correct answer is...
I'm a robot soldier who appears behind the sky!
Now, if you ask me where I am now...
I'm in a place called "Kitazawa Fuyu Senkouba Ato"!
Look at this!
Isn't it amazing?
There's such a fantastic place like this!
Now, what kind of place is it?
First of all, Sado Kinzan is famous for its sado.
First of all, they collected the soil from there and gathered it here.
And this was the place where they divided the soil from the ore.
The Kitazawa Fuyu Senkouba Ato was completed in the 13th century.
From its closure in 1968,
the scenery of green vines entwined in the concrete that has been removed
is truly the world of "raptors"!
At night, there is also a light-up.
Now, it has become a popular tourist spot.
Right? If you say it like that.
Bars!
Twice?
What's wrong?
What should we do?
Bars!
That's enough.
That's impossible.
Laugh for me!
Bars!
Laugh!
If you laugh, we won't laugh anymore.
This situation is collapsing right now.
Now, let's go to the second-class tour!
First, Sado Kinzan, which boasted Japan's largest scale.
Sado Kinzan was excavated from the beginning of Edobakku to Eisei Gannen for about 400 years.
It is Japan's largest gold and silver mine.
The gold mined was 78 tons and the silver mined was 2,330 tons.
Speaking of the symbol of Sado Kinzan, this is it.
"Doyuu-no-Wari" and...
That's Kinzan!
I've never seen it before!
At first glance, it looks like two mountains,
but it's a trace of people digging from above.
During the Edo period, as people dug through huge gold mines,
the mountains were divided into sections and created two different landscapes in this world.
Since the Meiji era, redevelopment using dynamite has been carried out,
and there are large holes in the ground.
It used to be like this.
The mountains are divided into left and right.
Don't you think there is gold here and there?
I thought so, too.
Gold and silver explode from below and go vertically like this.
That's why people dig like this, as if they were building two mountains.
Furthermore, the vein continues underground, and when all of the excavations are combined,
the length is 400 kilometres between Sado and Tokyo.
This place has been preserved at 10 degrees Celsius for a year.
So, to be honest, it's very cold now.
Look at this!
Also, in the excavation, work scenes from the Edo period are reproduced.
I want to go outside and drink sake as soon as possible.
I also want to meet a woman from Dali.
So, the younger sister will challenge!
Sado gold mining specialty, gold mine digging challenge!
What is it?
It is to remove a gold bar from a small hole in acrylic within 30 seconds.
The person who succeeds will receive a special gold foil.
By the way, the success rate is one in about 1,000 people.
This is a bigger gold mine than I thought.
Now, it exceeds 80 million.
80 million!
Is this security okay?
I'll go!
Challenge, start!
By the way, the weight of the gold mine is 12.5 kilograms.
It's full of power!
But, it doesn't matter.
After all, the weight of 80 million is not insignificant.
And...
Challenge failed!
This is unfair!
This hole is unfair!
Now, let me introduce a special skill that can achieve one in 1,000 people.
Who is it?
Can you do it?
First, stand in front of it.
Then, put it on your whole body.
And, put it on your whole body.
Can I try it one more time?
Wow, it's heavy!
Everyone will copy you.
Wait a minute, what should I do?
Wait a minute, wait a minute!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
Next, they will try the traditional Sado miso green onion dish!
Sado specialty, "tarai-bune",
with this dish, you can eat fish, shellfish and seaweed.
In fact, there are many elderly people who do Sado miso green onion dish.
It's a little difficult for them to teach them how to do it.
So, they will do it by themselves.
What? By themselves?
But you are good at "tarai-bune", aren't you?
Yes, I am good at it.
I did "tarai-bune" quite a lot.
10 years ago, on a certain program,
she challenged the difficulty of crossing the Sado Strait by "tarai-bune".
It's a pain I've never experienced before.
Even so, she overcame numerous difficulties and succeeded in the "tarai-bune" challenge.
Look at this!
If I were late, I would have been stuck here for 24 hours.
What is the scariest thing?
This time, the viewership rate went up a lot.
No one will say "I saw "tarai-bune"".
"Tarai-bune" was originally conceived to be a shallow, shallow sea.
This time, the prey is "sazae".
I would like to take a peek.
I see. I can see it.
It's quite transparent.
The shallow sea is beautiful.
I saw it!
I caught it!
She caught "sazae", but...
I thought something would happen, but nothing happened.
Can I end it?
On the contrary, I want to ask you. Can I end it?
Can I end it like this?
You know me, don't you?
I'm terrible at drowning.
Drowning?
I can't drown naturally.
She caught "sazae" just in case.
It can't be.
Something big came out of it.
You eat a lot lately, don't you?
"Beta" has its limits, too.
Awesome!
Next time, you will go to Niigata, too.
Speaking of Niigata,
Tsubame Sanjo is a world-famous goldsmith's city.
And this is a work of a craftsman of Tsubame Sanjo.
I like it when I see it like this.
It makes me feel good. It's a real thing.
It's amazing that only "kuwa" can do it.
This is what made people aware of the high technology of Tsubame Sanjo.
It looks like a lump of iron.
Can you look at it?
I'll show you.
Push it.
And...
If I lower it...
Wow!
Isn't it amazing?
The iron is cut out with surprising precision.
The parts and pedestal are infinitely integrated and look as if they are disappearing.
Nice to meet you. My name is Imotsu of Shinjyu Hunter.
This is Mr. Shuuichi Takeda, the president of the production team.
How is this made?
We use a high-speed machine to make the pedestal.
We check the method of input and progress of the machine.
We make it over and over and over again.
I didn't think of this design.
Even if I came up with it, I can't believe I can actually make it.
How big do you think the gap is?
The difference in numbers is such a small problem.
This pedestal is amazing.
The pedestal you have is 10,000 yen.
Yes, it is 10,000 yen.
We divided the pedestal into 30 pieces.
Wow!
It's an overwhelming difference.
Okay.
I'm going to be scolded.
I feel like I'm making a fool of myself.
I don't want people in the city to see this.
I also wanted to make a space rocket, but it didn't work out.
What?
Is that so, Mr. President?
Craftsmen want to launch a space rocket in the end.
I'm sorry for being late.
I'm Yuu Shimazu from SCUDA Production Office.
I'm Ryogama Takeuchi.
No, you're wrong.
Next is...
What do you think of when you think of Niigata's food?
I think it's rice.
Yes, it's rice and crab.
Hegi-soba is also famous.
That's also a famous dish in Niigata.
What I want to recommend in Niigata during this season is...
Ta-da!
Edamame.
In fact, Niigata Prefecture ranks first in edamame in terms of edamame ingredients and consumption.
For example...
The amount of edamame produced and exported is similar to the number of edamame produced outside of Niigata Prefecture,
so Niigata Prefecture ranks lower in terms of edamame produced and exported than Niigata Prefecture.
That's how much people in Niigata Prefecture eat edamame made by themselves.
You know what I'm going to hide?
I love edamame!
Then let's eat a lot of edamame!
World Edamame Fast-Eating Championship
Every July, edamame lovers gather on the 7th Hill and compete for love for edamame.
The time limit is 100 seconds.
They compete for the weight of the edamame they eat.
Sister vs. Champion
Edamame Fast-Eating Champion vs. Sister
I'm Imoto, a human-beast hunter. Nice to meet you.
I'm Espar Kobayashi. Nice to meet you.
This is world record holder Espar Kobayashi.
You look very strong.
You eat edamame and wear a mask. Is that edamame mask?
Yes, it is. I wear it in summer.
What do you usually do?
I usually talk like a professional.
What's that?
I talk like I want to be like that person through a light talk.
When you talk with Espar, you can find your true self, right?
That's right.
Is it true?
This is the real thing.
This is Espar's 100-second meal.
100 seconds?
I see.
To break the record of 120g of edamame,
she has to eat about 2 times of 240g of edamame.
Wait a minute. I think I can do it.
I think I can do it.
Let's go, Espar!
The World Edamame Fast-Eating Championship will be held.
I'm not Amuro anymore.
Edamame is expensive!
I'm getting nervous.
Champion, do you have any tips?
Wait a minute!
That's not a tip at all!
A fast start!
Both of them are doing well!
Here, Esuka has raised her gear once!
Esuka's center of gravity doesn't move at all!
Only her hands and mouth are moving!
There's only one minute left!
Both of them are desperately trying to eat it!
They look almost the same!
One mistake could cost their lives!
There's only 30 seconds left!
Esuka has started to forget!
If you drop a bean, you lose a tip!
She's desperately picking it up!
Let's go!
Both of them are in a great state!
It seems like her mouth is reaching its limit!
You can do it!
It seems like Esuka is not in her best state!
But as a representative of the Iwata prefecture,
we can't let her down!
You can do it!
Time's up!
Please put your hands down!
You're loud!
Let's see the results!
You can do it!
You're in a bad state!
Esuka Kobayashi-san!
I'm not in my best state!
82 grams!
Yes!
You can do it!
She's really depressed!
Next,
Kimoto Ayako-san!
Yes!
You can do it!
73 grams!
Espa somehow managed to hold on!
Hey, you're not supposed to run like that!
Kanatatsuya!
Wow, you probably could have done it!
You should have tried a little harder!
A little...
Espa-san, you did it more than you thought you would!
That's what I thought, but what do you think?
Yes!
Is he really that sloppy?
You did it more than you thought you would!
Next up is "Satoyama of Art - Echigo-tsumari" report!
Echigo-tsumari is an area from Niigata prefecture's south, Toka-machi city and Tsunan-machi.
With its vast Satoyama as its stage, the world's largest art festival is held every three years,
where you can enjoy works of world-class artists.
First up is...
Wow!
It's beautiful!
It's amazing!
Wow!
This is art that naturally collaborated with nature!
This is one of Japan's three major sculptures, Kiyotsu-kyo.
It's beautiful!
In order to enjoy the scenery,
the tunnel that used to be used as an art facility two years ago is now used for art.
Then, in search of one piece every month,
many people gather at this very popular spot.
On the other hand, art for experience...
This is a work of experience for staying overnight.
It's called "Dream House".
Here you can see rituals and strict rules for dreaming.
Wow!
After taking a bath, you have to wear white full-length tights.
What is this?
Also, you have to smoke first.
You can't even talk.
You can't even talk?
What's interesting about it is...
The cameraman is cool.
After eating, he changes into pajamas for dreaming,
and puts twelve magnets in there.
Finally, he goes to sleep in a bed for dreaming.
The dream he saw that day becomes a series of art until he writes it in his book the next morning.
Can you sleep?!
As a result, he can't dream much and has insomnia.
But at the end of the journey, something special awaits him!
What is it?
Wow!
That's amazing!
The art I'm going to introduce next is a work in which the whole classroom is blackboard.
This desk is also blackboard, of course,
and this floor is also blackboard.
Even this desk is blackboard.
Visitors can draw whatever they want on it.
Oh, you can draw!
Wow!
It's true! It's blackboard!
As a result, his sister's soul of art catches fire!
Wow!
It makes you want to create!
I want to create!
I really like it!
His running chalk doesn't stop easily!
Step forward one step at a time!
That's it!
Hey, your dream will come true!
No, love reunion is fun!
But, the real fun begins now!
Actually, I'm inviting a special guest of "Kokuban to Ieba" today.
What? A guest?
What? "Kokuban to Ieba"? Wait a minute, come, come, come!
"Kokuban to Ieba"'s guest?
Well then...
What? Wait a minute, come, come, come!
Please!
What? Wait!
What? What? What? Who is it?
What? What?
What? What? What?
Well, please sit down.
What? What?
Well, let's begin.
What? What?
Please be careful.
What? What?
What? What? What?
Seriously?
Yes.
Seriously?
I can't scribble, can I?
No, it's my famous quote. It's my famous quote now.
Although we're filming now...
It's very important for the entertainment industry to learn as much as possible.
We don't have much time, but let's study together.
I'm so happy! Thank you!
So, for the last part of their journey,
Mr. Tetsuya Kakeda will give them an artistic "kokuban lesson".
First of all, let's write a mysterious word on the "kokuban".
This is not a prank.
Has the lesson already started?
No, it hasn't started yet.
All right.
Let's begin.
Yes!
What does it look like?
What?
Wow, interesting!
What? A map of a word?
Actually...
No, it's not.
This is still a word.
A word?!
It's a word.
Yes.
What?!
However, this is a word from 3,200 years ago.
Wow!
Surprisingly, this word has been alive for a long time.
Wow!
It's still alive, but its shape has changed a little.
Wow!
What does this word look like?
Wow!
What does it do?
I want to know!
Wow! This is a serious class!
It's a serious class!
I'll tell you about the class.
Yes.
What?! A person...
Yes.
You might know this, teacher!
A person is kneeling...
and holding something...
Yes, yes, yes...
and shaking like this?!
Yes.
I know it's rude of me to ask you this, but...
what is your job now?
Well...
I'm a beast hunter.
A beast hunter.
Can you say it in another way?
An entertainer?
Yes, yes, yes...
Yes.
Actually, don't be surprised.
What?!
This is...
an entertainer's art.
What?!
This is the "gay" of comedians.
That's right. Three thousand two hundred years ago,
this "gay" was born from this "shoukei" character.
What?!
Do you know what he is holding in his hand?
Yes, I do.
What do you think it is?
It looks like a bell that rings.
Actually, this is a plant.
A plant?! A bamboo shoot?!
Yes, it can be a bamboo shoot,
or a pine tree with flowers that may bloom in the future.
The person who tries to plant such things in the soil,
or the person who tries to plant pine trees,
became a "gay".
In other words, what is a comedian?
That's right.
It is a person who plants flowers and trees in a world like a wilderness.
He is a "gay".
That's all for now.
In reality, planting flowers and trees is called "gay" in another way.
I was impressed.
In that way, I would like Imo-san to become an entertainer who plants flowers and trees in a prosperous world, whether it is comedy or not.
I'm sorry.
So, I'm sorry for this time.
But, are you going to fire me?
What?
Did you fire me for this reason?
Yes, yes.
Are you kidding me?
So, that's all for now.
I didn't expect you, Takeda-san, to come here.
I came here for this reason.
You must have been surprised.
I was surprised.
I was very impressed.
Yes.
Isn't it a very good business?
Yes, it is.
I was impressed.
I thought you were a teacher.
When I was in middle school, I was a gold medalist teacher.
I see.
When I was in my real age.
Takeda-san, thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
Reality reveals itself.
Makaoka challenges jumping board jumping.
Ouch, my face.
And, I'm curious about...
Actually, I was worried about it for a while.
But, I was doing my best.
I was enduring it.
Then, in February or March of this year, I started doing it again.
Well, I think it's the second wave.
