..The surrounding actors have to perform their scripted lines without hearing anything. The timing is fixed, and we have to do repeated rehearsals before the actual performance."

It's tough for me too haha, since there are no JP captions during the live parts to help me with the subbing but oh well

Just finished watching the final episode of KanaKoro!
Will miss the NonGaya pair ☺️
Did you catch Fujigaya's panda plushie's brief "guest" appearance"? lol so cute 🐼

You don't have to watch if u dislike the host or find him cringey or 気持ち悪い
but if ever you're curious enough to watch, you'll find out: QM has a son; why he chose actor MY to play Goro; what happens if u greet him on the street; & how he is when drunk 😊

Get it from the usual place~

They visited 3 shops but I cut out some parts (including a 4th shop since it has nothing to do with QM).

I had a hard time subbing because the host had the tendency to speak fast & often mumbles. Nevertheless I liked this kind of challenge. Whatever I can't make out, I just guesstimated.

...he has this YT channel, a kind of gourmet show, where they "ambush" unknown restos, with the gimmick of asking to film inside "without an appointment". He is rebranding himself as a gourmet commentary reporter.
In this vid, QM shows him his favorite hangouts in Kichijoji, and his artworks.

Lastly, I subbed cut parts only of QM's guesting at a YT channel hosted by a comedian, the one who was caught in a furin scandal & was said to be the model for the adultery episode 8 of FuteHodo, if you recall, I talked about him in my trivia notes. He can't go back to terrestrial TV, so for now...

with emotions that even surprised me. I'm not good at talking, so I can't really express it, but the moment when things that were out of sync came together through the item called the camera that has shaped my life, was a moment of intense emotion, and it was very interesting."

The moment the subject gradually came into focus from a blurry state was similar to the moment she felt a connection with her mother, sister, or other subjects. I feel that the camera was a very important key item. When I took photos of each person, I was overwhelmed

Kurashina: "When Misaki returned to Amakusa and started taking photos of her close friends and family, the things that were a little off gradually started to fit together. It was similar to a camera. With an analog camera, you have to adjust the focus yourself.

Just like Misaki, Kurashina K (Misaki) is originally from Kumamoto (Amakusa is part of Kumamoto), did odd jobs as a kid to earn extra money, went to work in Tokyo when she was 18, and her father's name is also "Kacchan".

The director thought Maikuma (as Shotaro) was too skinny so he told him to build up on muscle. Maikuma gained 9kg & even got a boat license & a motorcycle license for the drama. The island also had a lasting impression on him. He has produced an indie movie "Tokyo Landmark" which is set in Amakusa.

The art teacher was called "Bitoku- sensei" by his students. His actual name is Kato Yoshinori. Yoshinori is spelled with the charcaters 美徳 (bitoku) which means "virtue".

Uncle Shigeo sustained a leg injury during the marine accident. It wasn't explained but I think the injury was necessary because if he had not gotten injured, he would have jumped to save his friend's life, and they both would have drowned.

COLORS can be compared to gender and individuality, but it sings about how it's okay to be open about things you hide, because that is your true color. I thought about what I could do with this song as a motif, and I spent a few days thinking about it. And then I decided to set it in Amakusa."

he was driving when Cyndi L's song came on the radio. "It's a song I know well, but it was right after the earthquake & Japanese people, like myself, were feeling empty in many ways, so I realized that the lyrics, which I hadn't paid much attention to before contained current LGBT issues...

Minamoto first visited Amakusa in 2006 while filming an NHK documentary in Nagasaki. He could see the island from a park in Nagasaki & decided to stay and visit the island after he was done filming the docu. The island "left a lasting impression on me." Just after the Tohoku 2011 earthquake...
