会議室って書いてある。
A、B、C、D。
このまま入室可能らしい。ちょっと開けてみてもらっていいですか?
失礼します。
Hi there!
Yeah, long time no see, maybe?
Long time no see?
Long time?
Yeah, this is another place from previous one.
We just bought one local food.
You know?
たこ焼き。
You can say takoyaki?
Yeah, so many.
ネギ。
Do you know which place takoyaki is?
大阪。
大阪's local food.
大阪 is my hometown.
I really love takoyaki.
So today, we just eat takoyaki.
And I explain something about takoyaki.
Let's enjoy takoyaki today.
03:01
Okay, so please eat first.
They didn't give us two chopsticks.
One chopstick.
I think I can eat.
One chopstick, maybe.
Let's try.
Is it hot?
No, not hot.
It's yummy.
Do you like mayonnaise?
It's yummy.
Okay, I'll go next one.
So, takoyaki is Osaka's local food.
And my childhood.
So, every station has a takoyaki stand.
So, every station, we can find any.
Each station?
Yes, small, small station.
Nearby my home, I can find one takoyaki stand.
It's six takoyaki bowl.
So, this is one takoyaki bowl.
This is eight, right?
My nearest takoyaki stand is six takoyaki bowl is only 100 yen.
This is 660 yen.
It's also not costly.
Eight takoyaki bowl, 660.
But in Osaka's local small takoyaki stand case,
Sometimes we can find six takoyaki bowl is only 100.
Still now?
I don't think so.
It's 30 years old.
30 years back.
But I think Osaka's takoyaki competition is very much hard.
Harder than...
There's a competition in Osaka?
Competition, like I say.
Many of takoyaki stand is there.
And each one needs to have something special.
Some takoyaki stand is a cheap takoyaki stand.
And some takoyaki stand has a very special taste.
Of course, Osaka's takoyaki stand, some urban takoyaki stand is very much costly.
Almost same price of this.
But local size, we can find many of cheaper takoyaki.
Maybe half price.
Maybe eight takoyaki is 300.
Such price we can find still now also.
So you should go to Osaka to eat takoyaki.
06:00
And I can introduce some takoyaki stand.
Especially my local size, Southern Western Osaka has many of such.
Small and little bit duty.
Takoyaki stand.
Duty.
I've been to Osaka only once.
And I only visited around...
Osaka city? Umeda?
Shinkyo...
Shinkyo-bashi?
Shinkyo-bashi?
Kyo-bashi.
Kyo-bashi?
Shinkyo-bashi also is there.
But it's not famous place.
Not Shinkyo-bashi.
Ah, I forgot.
Guriko is there.
Ebisubashi.
Ebisubashi?
Guriko.
Ebisubashi is one of the famous...
Nanpabashi is there.
Hikkakebashi.
I'm not sure how to say in English.
Nanpa?
Yes, yes, yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
Many of guys is stand and searching.
The kind of the...
He want to get some girlfriend.
Yes.
They ask girls to go out.
Yes, yes, yes.
And we can find like this pose guy.
Yeah, yeah, Guriko.
Yes, yes, yes.
Maybe...
Guriko?
Yeah, I'll put that, Guriko.
Guriko.
Yeah.
Yes, yes, yes.
Ebisubashi is central.
Purely central Osaka.
Osaka prefecture has Osaka city.
And Osaka city has northern Osaka city and southern Osaka city.
Kita and Minami.
And around Ebisubashi...
Southern, but almost central Osaka city.
So you can find many of people in the one road, Senichimae-dori.
Maybe you could find the...
How say?
So cloudy road, right?
Ebisubashi is a part of this Senichimae-dori.
Kuidaore arutoko?
Kuidaore is not Ebisubashi.
I only know Kuidaore and Guriko.
How you can go this place?
It's central Osaka.
You need to...
I don't remember.
You need to reach Osaka using Shinkansen, maybe?
No.
No?
Airplane.
Okay, airplane.
Itami airport.
Maybe.
I don't remember.
Anyway, after reaching the airport, after reaching the station,
you need to go down from the airport or Shinkansen station.
09:05
And Shin-Osaka or...
Itami is a kind of Toyonaka.
Toyonaka is a...
I'm not sure the station name.
But at least you need to...
through the Umeda once.
Then you can reach the Namba.
Namba.
Namba.
I went to the concert of U2.
Do you know U2?
U2?
Yeah, I know.
Yeah.
Over 20 years ago.
20?
It's also so old.
I don't remember well.
Okay, okay, okay.
Yeah, 20 years ago is almost same time that I left Osaka.
Well.
Almost 18 and a half years before I left Osaka and came to Tokyo.
You were living in Tokyo?
Yes.
Yokohama, Yokohama.
Yokohama is not so famous.
Tokyo is more easy to image, right?
Yeah, Yokohama is famous, I think.
Maybe.
Some foreign people know Yokohama.
But Tokyo is the most famous.
Okay.
From Osaka, Tokyo and Yokohama is not so important.
You don't have Osaka dialect?
Yeah, you have.
You speak Osaka dialect?
Ah, Osaka dialect?
My Japanese is Osaka dialect, I think.
It's very...
Mild, mild.
Mild, yeah.
And I heard that southern Osaka has strong...
Strong...
Duty word.
Yeah.
I know, yeah.
I'm not sure how to say in English.
Because it's very duty.
Like this duty word is kind of Osaka.
And also...
No, no.
遠くの角で頭が...
So, I really need to use something.
Sound effect.
So, I need to use something like that.
So, I need to use something like that.
Sound effect.
I can't broadcast it.
It's scary.
If someone said that to me...
I would cry.
And also the hase.
It's just a hase.
Say hello.
And if someone is telling something strange...
12:04
But it's just a...
Oh.
Arcade.
Game...
Arcade.
Midnight.
So, in that case, many of the...
Kind of the mafia or...
Dangerous people is coming.
Dangerous people.
Coming.
It's serious.
And they took something.
Catcher.
No, no, no.
They took illegal one.
Before coming.
Illegal what? Drug?
Drug.
Illegal drug, yes.
And looks, they are very much strange.
And I'm very scared.
I needed to protect myself.
And they tried to do the catching machine.
But they are not normal situation.
So, they couldn't catch.
They missed many time.
And they get mad.
And they asked me.
Help me.
I tried to help.
OK.
You just...
Push.
And I put some figure nearby drop zone.
Oh, OK.
Nearby drop zone.
And only one hit.
He can get this figure.
But after that, he couldn't get it.
And finally, I just pushed his figure.
He was...
Looks very happy.
And I could save myself also.
This is Sajan Osaka's...
You sound scary.
It's very usual situation.
I've never experienced like that in Japan.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Really?
No.
So, Chiba prefecture also has many of...
Outsider?
Outsider.
No.
Nanki.
Many of bad guy.
Yeah.
Bad guys.
Yeah.
They were bad guys maybe.
But around my place, I didn't see them.
Oh, really?
You have no chance to communicate with them, right?
Sajan Osaka, there are many of bad guys.
And just a bad guy is a gentleman for me.
So, some people is a yakuza.
15:02
Yeah.
But this karaoke is...
Second floor is karaoke.
And first floor is arcade game.
And both master is a kind of...
Owner?
Owner.
Not owner, but kind of the president of this shop.
He's a very strong guy.
And sometimes I need to call him.
Tencho!
Tasukete, Tencho!
He just ran and hit this bad guy.
Your manager was strong.
Yeah, my manager was strong.
It's serious.
Not joking.
And I needed to edit many bad words.
Someone from the UK, he liked yakuza.
Oh, really?
And he wanted yakuza tattoo.
Like a dragon.
Yeah.
But I thought it's scary.
It's not... I can't recommend it.
Yeah, I can't recommend.
So, he did it?
Not sure.
I'm not sure.
So, to me, Japanese yakuza or such bad guy is not so...
How say?
Aggressive to the normal people.
In the almost case, they just keep silence.
Don't try to communicate with us also.
Maybe foreign people watch yakuza movies.
Yeah, they are cool, maybe.
But...
Reality is different.
We are live.
We shouldn't go any risky place.
Yes, yes, yes.
Okay, let's finish the takoyaki.
I get afraid that if people see these movies,
they feel that Osaka is a dangerous place.
No.
But my thought is that I want people will be...
they want to come to Osaka.
I really afraid that.
So, I brought some wrong message.
I heard tourists think Osaka people are kind and friendly.
18:03
Yes, yes, yes.
We have some...
Compared to Tokyo.
Humanity or human being itself is very much friendly.
And if someone is trying to find something,
they just ask where you want to go.
Some Osaka's old lady.
Old lady.
Old lady.
Old girl.
Old girl, lady.
Lady, lady.
Lady has no hesitate to communicate with any people.
It's easy to talk to Osaka people.
So, their heart is so strong.
So, they try to communicate with foreign people without English.
Where are you from?
Where are you from?
Where are you from?
Yes, I really love Osaka's old lady.
So, basically, yakuza is very much small number in Osaka also.
So, if you come to Osaka, you can find many of the good food.
And also, there are some interesting place like Universal Studios Studio.
Studio.
Japan.
Japan.
And also, Glico.
Glico.

So, final Kuidaore Taro was three.
Third.

Version one, two, three.
Oh, I didn't know that.
But third one closed the restaurant.
Yes, already closed.
Retired.
But they are not the same.
Keep?
Yes.
They keep.
Keep the restaurant?
Restaurant has just stop here.
Kuidaore Taro is one of the symbol of Osaka.
So, many people dislike to watch them broke it.
So, they keep the building?
Yes.
So, please come to Osaka.
