ちゃんこの意味、胃のバイパス手術、形骸化した日本のメディア、吉野家とバイトで生き抜く〝消費しない〟若者たち、家族との別れ、ピンク色のヘアカラー......。

ちゃんこ霧島

[phone]
In our second episode of "VICE Eats With...", we sat with former Sumo champion Konishiki. Although at first intimidating, he and our VICE correspondent Yuka talk about his early days in Japan in between bites of chanko nabe, a Japanese style stew popular among Sumo wrestlers. We visited "Kirishima", where we indulged our winter stew cravings in the Ryogoku area of Tokyo.

"See you someday down the road". That's a lovely goodbye.

[@Missioneer]

It really is, I kind of got choked up after hearing him say it.

[@tomopiro1217]

これまた教育テレビのコニちゃんとは違う雰囲気だねw

[@Missioneer]

Those words "see you somewhere down the road" made me think he was about to pass on to higher plains. This man has some serious respect and wisdom.

[@UNKOSMOKE52]

Glad to see my Samoan brother speak Japanese is dope asf! Malo uso!

[@patcruising8925]

Wearing a seki shirt too!

[@gabrielleb74]

Yuko seems like such a kind and genuine person, I really like her. Vice have her do more episodes!

[@fernandomfernandes]

+1!

[@user-gq6fi5uh4d]

幼稚園の頃、大好きだったから羨ましい！！！

[@waider]

Such an interesting talk they had, its kinda refreshing to see japanese people having constructive criticism of japanese society.

[@yayuyoshiki]

めっちゃいい人なんだな〜

[@DriftmanX]

Rarely are videos worth watching til the end. This one made me feel happy to be alive. Beautiful ending to a simple interview. Thank you Vice

[@hanadinaruhi]

さすがviceだ！と思わせてくれる動画だなぁ、と。 やっぱりviceは最高だね！(ｽﾃﾏ感

[@jayden_rico]

As a local of Hawaii, I admire his fluentness in Japanese, mixed in with his Hawaiian pidgin accent when he says English words. Sugoi ne.

[@cchiri]

This was a really good episode. I liked Konishiki so much, he seemed to be a sweetheart. Quite smart, also. But of course, Yuka, you're my favourite of all time ♥

[@torakoara1]

よくお客さんを連れてくると言うkonishikiさんと、お店のオーナーである元大関霧島の陸奥親方との関係がよく分かるかと

[@Ehssty]

This was so refreshing to watch! Mr. Konishiki was really interesting and wise, Riporter-chan was so sweet and cheerful, and the food... I got hungry just by watching! :D Thank you for sharing this Vice! ^_^

[@michaelrobertalexanderclar7926]

i agree, refreshing is theeeee word :D

[@oysteinhaugen7055]

I couldn't agree more. Lovely video!

[@fernandomfernandes]

ditto

[@BELLOBLOCK]

He seemed stand-offish

[@imhellag]

BELLOBLOCK He's like a legend. Like a certified A+ star in Japan. I can forgive him for being more professional than buddy buddy western style.

[@rememberthealamo100]

この女性に対する日本人と外国人の反応の違いを見て笑った 外見や形式ばかりを気にする日本人　内面や親近感を重視する外国人

[@convoy555]

まぁな偉そうなブスは見てるだけで腹立つからな

[@user-li6iw8td8q]

栗林圭 偉そうでもないけど あの有名な小錦さんですかぁ〜なんて言ってる見た目だけが取り柄のつまんない女の方が好き？w

[@tanakazone1]

「外見や形式ばかりを気にする日本人　内面や親近感を重視する外国人」？？そう思ってるのは外国を知らない証拠なんだよ。アメリカのNYとかなら変な奴がたくさんいるからまだしも、同じアメリカでも多くの場所ではタトゥーとか髪の色が派手とかだけで指さされるが、一般的に日本はそういうことはない。

[@aa-yh3qq]

単純に外国人から見たらブスじゃないってことだろ

[@manekineko2k]

ステレオタイプに日本人、外国人でくくるのはほぼ単一民族の日本人だからなのかもね。 いちいちドヤ顔で自国民を下げる必要もないし。 世界中いい人もいればクソな人もたくさんいるよ。 日本人だって立派な人は大勢いる。

[@dd1ee2vv3oo4nn5]

This was probably my favorite interview on Vice. At age 18 he knew what he wanted to do and executed it. Inspiration.

[@26nekoran]

KONISHIKIの「ハグ」が紳士的ですね。

[@itijikuable]

いいものを見させてもらいました。

[@nutaishouten]

ウチダユカさんの密着番組見てみたいです。

[@closetwarrior]

Yuko and Konishiki really seemed to hit it off. Yuko has such a great job, it'd be so cool to go to one of these interviews and just sit and drink and eat awesome food and talk to all these interesting people.

[@williefinn4932]

koishiki was always the sumo wrestler the crowd loved...the biggest contestant... didnt they call him the dump truck? quite a serious guy.

[@JiuLiaJewels]

Yuko is really awesome, I could watch Vice vids all the time with her as an interviewer! She seems so genuinly interested and not judging, no matter the topic. She's great! :D

[@caramelcoffees]

lmao i wonder how many beers in Yuka was when she startled rambling about the current state of today's media entertainment lmao. I always enjoy these, Konishiki seems like a wise dude and Yuka gets cuter every video I see of her

[@fumiyukitakada]

Vice Japan の内田さん、相手の懐に入るのがお上手ですね。私はこういう女性の方、好きです。

[@youngjoo2710]

i just love the reporter, she look so cool and its fun with her. good job girl!

[@Serpahim]

Yuka Uchida is an amazing host! Bloody brilliant! :) Keep up the videos guys!

[@user-jc8gt4jc4o]

外面しか見ない日本人どうにかならんのか。 コメント見りゃ分かるけど外国人は内面もちゃんと見てる。俺はこの女の人好きだよ。

[@POPGAMING1234]

無知晒しすぎでしょ

[@roop94]

I live a couple blocks away from Konishski! He's a real cool guy.

[@ankitait2]

+Aw Snap he was also ozeki who lost out on Yokozuna status because of racism in my opinion. Talented for sure.

[@lovepeachdeath]

日本のTV番組に関しては本当にその通り。 お笑いもバラエティも好きだけどね・・何でも無理矢理型にはめすぎな感じ。

[@user-ec8jq3sr5p]

小錦、いい感じだなぁ。

[@user-zk2kx6jw1w]

内田さん好きだわ

[@chichi7353]

彼女のキャラ好き。

[@user-gx9xf2zb6o]

小錦大好き

[@re-settt]

Really cool guy, the more I get to know him the more I like him. I like that he makes a distinction between his former characters on television vs. his creative and freethinking self. I enjoy listening to him talk in Japanese. 素晴らしい動画でした。

[@rossh8098]

Great Japanese video vice keep em coming... I miss the food.

[@coo1183]

見てて楽しい 旅したくなったw

[@spidaminida]

She's a fantastic interviewer. Really bought him out of his initial swagger attitude. (Which might just have been a cover for a shy streak lol...)

[@Tokelauan9876]

Wow it’s different when you come from a Samoan family whose tradition is all about respect. Then going on a mission to seek a promising future to take care of the family.

[@SteveAbrahall]

That was beautiful! Thanks guys! you both just had such a great time - Just lovely!

[@rapist30000]

"I only had one goal: Helping my Family" holy fuck : ' )

[@user-zm4dq1ct7y]

KONISHIKIはハワイ勢の中で1番日本語を理解してるな、このトークで分かった。

[@Khn90]

Yuka you are the best! The more I watch about you, the more I admire your work!

[@zambimaru]

This is making me hungry. Gotta go get me some Japanese food.

[@MsDeziGomes]

I knew Konishiki. He really is genuinely kind and caring. Hes also very funny lol. I miss him.

[@MegzLife]

This is so weird to hear a samoan talk japanese like its nothing, lol, but its awesome, cool to kno he big in japan from doing sumo... : )

[@MegzLife]

Also I dont kno a word there were saying but I enjoyed it, n da food, not da seafood or pig, but the other stuff I will gladly eat n try sumthing dats usual in a differ place ot region, yum. : )

[@taifaauliuli8339]

Just awesome... this is the first time watching this he is just humble dude. N her just funny cool cool godbless

[@snaxxizz]

I really want to have a date with Yuka!

[@jeremycabahug5375]

me too!

[@snaxxizz]

Jeremy Cabahug i saw her first!

[@rossh8098]

I like her personality, but looks wise not so much.

[@ankitait2]

the line is long

[@tapilaha]

lol, i remember sumo sometimes coming up watching eurosport as a teenager (live in the netherlands) and i remember 4 sumo wrestlers: akebono (later also in MMA) , wakanohana and takanohana (2 brothers i believe?) and this huuuuuuuuuge fat (no disrespect) sumo, i guess it was this guy, konishiki

[@chuecco]

Yuka is cute

[@user-mp2uy3or82]

かっこいい

[@txydeng]

this was so interesting, I love konishiki and sumo in general, it would be nice to see more of these

[@fasiapulekaufusi6632]

My uncle, Haku, was also a sumo wrestler in Japan.

[@user-te6yv7oy6u]

体重増えて医者から命の危険性があるって言われた時のKONISHIKIの心境はどんな感じだったのかな？

[@chesita]

I love Yuka! she's cute and she seems like a very authentic person, I like all her interviews!

[@negrimood]

Konishiki reminds me so much of my uncle. Damn.

[@kingZulu66]

I like his Samoan pattern shirt.. Watching vice eats always makes me hungry

[@darkflow0827]

小錦さん。一番好きなお相撲さん

[@vkirisome4701]

Love listening to the uso speaking Japanese

[@tengmen]

8:41 この辺滅茶苦茶同意するわ もう何年もテレビ見てないし見たくない

[@Tamimu_Vlog]

tengmen それな

[@cherylmedeiros6287]

Can really see how all those years have taken a toll on his body. His knees must be all messed up, probably his back too. But great episode! Didn't realize he's been retired for over 20 years now. January 2019. Imua!

[@koto1349]

ユカさんめっちゃ可愛いなw

[@RedRaven911]

Oh man, that was a great one. The conversation was wonderful.

[@cottonbuds6520]

is this the guy from Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift?

[@blvvdsawgekkt2599]

NIGGA

[@PinchOfLuck]

She is amazing. :)

[@user-bw6ud7rb4q]

行ってみたいなぁ

[@fasiapulekaufusi6632]

One love from your tongan brother

[@Giesela0815]

VICE JAPAN PLEASE EAT WITH MORE PEOPLE! LOVE FROM GERMANY!

[@Zangetsu1892]

was he on fast furious tokyo drift, he looks just like the big dude at the bath house with the bear tattoo????

[@joe4570]

+Zangetsu1892 yes

[@cottonbuds6520]

love these and such a great way to do an interview

[@XxHizzyxX]

he seems like a really chill person to hang out with

[@Bamboo8888ab]

Nice interview! Good job, Yuka-san.

[@rafevelly7295]

The sacrifice What an amazing person konishiki he moved me when at 18 he's most desired goals was to make things easier for his family and came to Japan with just a few clothes on his bag and not yen on his name. Konishiki you came you saw and you conquered God bless you and I wish you great success

[@NowisStrange]

"So you have to move outta my way..." haHA Love the random english.

[@user-si9mr5mu3v]

やっぱりこにしきさんらしい！(♡˙︶˙♡) 優しい方なんだね

[@dre3k78]

Poor guy, seems like his legs are all messed up from Sumo. Seems like a nice guy though. I have a feeling his stomach grew back after that surgery too lol.

[@HermanIngram]

His legs are messed up from being morbidly obese.

[@michaelangelo8898]

Lol true. God bless him he get healthier soon

[@chiggensandich23]

He is much better than he was before. Still on a weight loss journey after gastric bypass surgery several years ago as of this comment

[@harrymiram5562]

Actually got to meet Sale/Konishiki around 2018-19 or so. Because we're close in age, there was LOTS of common ground could relate to. What you see here is just a micro/mini sliver of what/who he is, away from the spotlight...Imua, Saleva'a....Alofa, Konishiki....Vi'ia le Atua!

[@lorrieharkey3383]

So enjoyable..... not only is that lady very pretty but she has just the nicest hands! LOL!

[@pentateuch908]

Sumo legend. Glad to see he's let himself go, in the good way this time.

[@DRiggity9810]

whenever an episode on vice japan ends that has Yuko as the host, I feel sad. I would like some more please.

[@steveditko1]

That was nice. She seemed a bit negative and he a bit annoyed at first, but eventually they came to have a nice meal and interview together, and I think she could learn a lot not only about chanko but life as well. The thing they seemed to bond over was that they are both unique people.

[@GodofMediocrity]

It's so great that she was given an assignment like this, after that whole Korean wine fiasco...

[@butter9565]

11:41 Soon as I saw that I was like O_O yooo

[@atakkuuuuu]

this was really heartwarming to watch~ oh man im a fan of this girl

[@kaipoarquette3106]

Sum of the best beer and sake I drank in Japan loved it next stop Europe for sum more great memories

[@j_go.]

Interesting, but I would have liked it more if Chanmomo was there too. She and Yuka should be joined at the hip.

[@HerrBaton]

"You can really drink. You're like a yokozuna. " LOL

[@josezamora2290]

I like this interviewer

[@SaturatedLife1]

Great video!

[@Ndo01]

that was amazing

[@TheBromiscuousEmilio]

That guy is the man

[@HKT100]

speaks fluent in samoan and japanese. damn the uce is talented

[@kyleblecha1]

I like him, hes such a joker

[@sodorification]

日本は対外純資産でみると世界一のお金持ち国家であり、国の借金というか政府債務はすなわち国民の貯蓄ですのでこれだけの借金ができるのです。

[@sapien82]

I should not watch this before lunch Im starving now ! DAMN IT , odd but i remember seeing this dude on Tv when i was younger it was on channel 4

[@BennyBoombatz]

Any chance of sub-titles? Love your channel!!

[@maya-xk9ud]

most of times. i eat sukiyaki or shabushabu in my home.so then i saw this movies,wanna eat chanko.

[@leo000730]

Yuko is so professional and cool! And the big guy! Suck a wisdom guy! Kudos..

[@lilmzkween007]

making me hungry

[@Jtttcagn]

小錦さんやっぱり膝が古傷になってますね。 まあ、ほとんどの日本人が彼の外見だけを未だに見るのは、力士として日本に知れ渡った人物なのでしょうがないところもあるでしょう。 大衆の持つ、彼の若い頃のあのインパクトは、そうそう変えられるものではないですよ。

[@kaiokimoto]

awesome!
