C: I’m the Cotto Center who performed live now. Next to me is Yoshii-kun, a classmate from the Cotto Center, elementary school and junior high school, who is now a comedian under the name “Higashi-ku” and usually plays the drums in a band.

Y: This is Yoshii. Can I wear clothes?

C: Isn’t it okay to do it without clothes?

Y: Is that okay? But I’m the only one who doesn’t wear clothes.

C: Oh, but do you wear it?

C: And he is Yusuke Takahashi, who is in the same high school as Yoshii and is now an actor.

T: Yoshii-kun’s best friend.

C: I met Takahashi for the first time, but I knew him by watching the movie in which he appeared. In Japan, it appears in movies and TV commercials in Shibuya’s Eurospace.

The movie taken by Yoshii-kun and Takahashi-kun was aired on tv last year.

Y: It was aired in October.

C: I also watched the movie, but it was a story about a drummer and a painter appearing in a short movie of about 15 minutes, and today my live is drawing a picture on their bodies in the image of the short movie. Did.

Originally, I was planning to draw a picture on Yoshii-kun’s body with Takahashi-kun, but for some reason it has become like today. Lol

T: I did it because it looked fun. Lol

Y: I changed the content of the performance in a hurry, so it felt like I was making it while doing it.

C: I think that gave me a good sense of tension.

Y: Certainly!

T: It was fun!

C: I had a performance in a situation where there was almost no meeting. Thank you.

Y: We usually do this kind of thing.

C: lol
Really!

Y: And is it Hong Kong radio today?

C: That’s right. Since I was shooting HKCR’s radio, I wanted to talk about a Hong Kong movie.

Y: Is that so? I also often watch Asian movies such as Hong Kong.

T: Yoshii-kun, you like Asian movies. He is very familiar with Asian movies.

Y: It’s a little annoying to say so. (Lol) I remembered the movies I had watched so far, but “the men’s song” (A Better Tomorrow)

C: Is it a Hong Kong movie?

Y: That’s right. It is a monumental work that created the genre of Hong Kong Noir.

C: I haven’t seen it yet, what is it like?

Y: In Japan, it’s a hard-boiled work like Seibu Keisatsu.

T: I watched the movie on the projector at his house, but after that the content was so great that I was cramping for about 3 hours.

C: Is there such a thing? !! Is it because you are an actor?

T: I don’t remember, after that.

Y: I thought I’d call an ambulance. The cast is also attractive, and I recommend it because it is a movie directed by John Woo who created the genre of Hong Kong Noir.

C: I haven’t checked it yet, so I’ll take a look.

Y: Please watch it!

T: On the screen of Yoshii’s house!

Y: Takahashi was also impressed and it’s a very good work.

May I talk a little more about movies?

C: Please!

Y: Speaking of Hong Kong movies, action movies such as “Project A” are also famous, but there is a movie like “Made in Hong Kong” which is an Asian version of Stand by Me. However, I really like it because it includes not only youthfulness but also the black and astringent elements unique to Hong Kong Noir.

Recently, when I decided to talk about Hong Kong movies at HKCR, I reviewed the movies and thought that Hong Kong has a very strong culture.

C: You’re talking very seriously today! Lol

T: It’s more like a commentary than a talk! Lol

Y: I really want to tell you the recommended movie as it is! Lol

C: Great

Y: Do you have any favorite Hong Kong movies?

C: I really like Wong Kar-wai’s “Fallen Angels”(Fallen Angels).

Y: Director Wong Kar-wai is very famous in Japan, isn’t he?

T: I have an image that women especially like it.

C: That’s true! “Planet in love”(Chungking Express)and more!

T: Would you like to find out the gender of people who like Wong Kar-wai’s movies by majority vote?

Y: You don’t have to do that, right? Lol

C: The whole movie looks fashionable, so maybe women like it.

Y: In music, a woman’s high-pitched voice is more impressive than a man’s voice.

C: It has nothing to do with the story so far, right? Lol
Y: Oh, doesn’t it matter?

C: When Takeshi Kaneshiro runs with Michelle Reis behind the motorbike before going to the ending of “Fallen Angels”, the song “only you” by The Flying Pickets is played, but the scene is very beautiful. I like it!

Y: Hong Kong movies have a lot of action comedies.

C: That’s right. The tears of an angel are also a story of a killer, but they also include a little love romance element.

Y: I see.

C: As an actor, what role do you want to play and what do you want to do if you are going to appear in a Hong Kong movie?

T: I want to shoot a pistol in a movie directed by John Woo!

C: lol

T: Also, I thought that today’s outfit will appear in a Hong Kong movie!

C: Certainly lol
And it’s going to appear in 80’s-90’s movies!
I’m talking about Hong Kong movies today, so maybe I’ve been aware of that. Yoshii-kun usually wears that kind of clothes, right?

Y: Hmm! surely

T: I feel that all the characters are catchy and charming. I’m also charming.

C: lol

T: Wow! !! !!

C/ Y: lol

C: Takahashi-kun is a funny type of person, isn’t he?

T: Did you fail?

C: Takahashi-kun has been in various movies and is acting cool, so I’m surprised at his energetic personality!

free person! !! !!

C: As an actor, what role do you want to play and what do you want to do if you are going to appear in a Hong Kong movie?

T: I want to be in a movie directed by John Woo and shoot a pistol!

C: lol

T: Also, I thought that today’s clothes of Cotto Center and Yoshii-kun are like characters in Hong Kong movies!

C: Certainly lol
Moreover, it seems to appear in movies of the 80’s-90’s!

I may have chosen this outfit today because I was thinking about talking about Hong Kong movies.
But Yoshii-kun usually wears that kind of clothes, right?

Y: Hmm! surely

T: I feel that all the characters in the movie are catchy and charming. I’m also charming.

C: lol

T: Wow! !! !!

C /Y: lol

C: Takahashi-kun is a funny type of person, isn’t he?

T: Did you fail?

C: Takahashi-kun has been in various movies and is acting cool, so I’m surprised at his energetic personality!
Free person! !! !!

Y: He does this. Unfair!

T: The two are not actors, but what role would you like to play if you could? Would you like to play the heroine in a movie like the tears of an angel?

C: I want to play a little role in the movie!

Y: It’s a role that makes the movie lively.

T: It’s a role that comes out in points.

C: I’m standing in a coffee shop and speaking only a word or two, but I want to play an edgy role where those words are important in the movie.

Y: If it’s such a role, the main character will tell me “Lend me this car!”, And I want to ask the reason and silently hand over the car key.

T: That’s because Yoshii wants to be popular! ??
I don’t want popularity so I want to play a villain!

C: That’s because of acting ability!

Y: We don’t have acting ability!

C: I want to play a modest but memorable role!

Y: I’ve just talked about director John Woo, but I also like the world view of “Made in Hong Kong” directed by Fruit Chan, and I really like the fact that it’s not only refreshing but also has a black part. There is reality.

C: I see. Is it a naughty feeling?

Y: That’s right. Naughty feeling.

T: You mean it’s not a beautiful youth movie, right?

C: I see!

Y: It feels like youth is depicted from various angles.

T: Yoshii-kun hasn’t sent you a beautiful youth, so it’s good to have a dirty part, right?

C: You agree with that.

Y: Well, Hong Kong is quite close to Japan, so when I watch a movie, I have a similar feeling to it.

C: There is such a thing. Landscapes and features.

Y: The expression is different, but I feel the same part at the root.

There is an Asian movie that I watched in my youth that I don’t know the title of, and if anyone knows it while watching this movie, I would like you to tell me.

T: I’ve heard it many times! The one with the pool, right?

C: Can you explain it so that the viewer can understand it?

Y: The main characters are a boy with a disability and his father, who slide down a long waterslide in the last scene, but I don’t know the title of this movie.
C: It may not be a Hong Kong movie.

Y: That’s right. But I want to take this opportunity to know.

T: I’ve been saying that. About 10 years.

C: Is YAHOO Answers (a famous question posting service in Japan) useless?

T: Certainly lol

Y: But no matter how much you look up, it doesn’t work. I want to know the title of the movie that has that scene. When I was a junior high school student, I watched the movie that was being broadcast on the BS (satellite broadcast) channel of TV at midnight, but I was so impressed that I couldn’t sleep. I’ve been worried because the movie ended without knowing
the title. I’ve been interested in it for about 15 years, so if anyone knows it, please.

C /T: Please.

C: It’s about time.

Today, I invited actor Takahashi-kun to give a movie talk, and I was surprised to hear that Yoshii-kun talked more than I expected. Lol

Thank you for watching!

There will be next month, so thank you!
