  • Hey guys!

  • I am off to the movie premier that I mentioned in a vlog

  • A couple vlogs back, the one with Taylor where we're shopping

  • I went out and bought these fancy clothes

  • I figured since it's a premier I should dress somewhat fancy

  • and I don't own anything fancy

  • I got this suit-ish pants set

  • In case you were wondering why I'm going to a movie premier

  • It's because of my new job here

  • Which I have been waiting to tell you guys about

  • I was waiting to get permission to use photos that I had taken while I was working

  • So I could put them in this video and show you guys the type of stuff that I do

  • But unfortunately I wasn't able to get permission to post those

  • because they show other people in them that I'm not allowed to show publicly

  • To explain my job, I work on movie sets

  • coaching the actors with their English

  • I coach Japanese actors

  • So if they are part of a movie where they have any English lines

  • I will help them so that their English sounds natural

  • and so they look natural when they're speaking it

  • So hang gestures and stuff that we use that they're not familiar with in Japan

  • I get to work with lots of very talented actors and actresses

  • Not to mention directors and producers

  • I've gotten to meet so many amazing people and it's been such a great experience for me

  • This is the first job I've done in Japan that I've really enjoyed

  • It's been a big learning experience because I don't know anything about film

  • I'm a Youtuber, but that does not mean that I know anything about professional film

  • I never studied it and it's all just been completely new to me

  • But it's been really cool to be thrown into that environment

  • and I've learned a lot

  • So I'm very thankful for this opportunity and I'm so excited that I get to do this

  • Other than coaching the actors with their English lines

  • I also translate the script

  • So I will get the script sent to me from the director

  • and I will translate the lines that they would like into English

  • From Japanese to English

  • And then we'll go back and forth and work together

  • to make sure it's got the same nuance that they were originally picturing in their mind

  • So that's a lot of work, that's a long process

  • I'll translate it how I think would sound good

  • But then I'll send it back to the director

  • and they'll be like "Oh that's not really what I was going for in this scene"

  • "Could you try to change it up to sound a little more like this?"

  • We'll go back and forth and we'll edit it a lot

  • And then I will have lessons with the actors and actresses

  • and we will practice those lines together

  • During the whole practicing process the lines will get changed several times

  • The director will decide to cut them, shorten them, or change them up a little bit

  • So it can be very stressful

  • It's not like we get a set of lines and it's definitely gonna be those lines

  • They do get changed up a lot

  • But it's really been interesting and eye opening to see all the work

  • that goes into making a movie behind the scenes

  • Because now when I watch a movie I'm always picturing like

  • Oh wow, I wonder how long it took them to film this scene

  • Or, I wonder how many times they have to refilm it from different angles

  • Because when I'm on the set I get to see everything that goes into filming each shot

  • And sometimes we will spend at entire 12 hour day filming one scene

  • They'll retake it so many times

  • So it's really amazing to see how much work goes into it

  • So now watching a movie isn't really the same experience that it used to be

  • Because I'll always be thinking about those kind of things

  • But it's really cool, and I think I'm very lucky to be able to know all that behind the scenes stuff

  • I'm really really enjoying it

  • And I cannot wait to go to the premier tonight!

  • This will be my first premier

  • So it'll be the first time I get to watch a movie that I worked on myself

  • and my name will be in the credits

  • So I gotta sit to the very end because I'm sure it's down in the corner somewhere at the end

  • But that'll be really cool

  • I can't wait to see that

  • So I'm not allowed to tell you guys what projects I'm working on while I'm doing them

  • because I have to wait until the movie has been announced for release

  • I can tell you about this one because the movie will be coming out soon

  • It's called TERRAFORMARS, it's based on a manga

  • I'll put a picture of the manga here, maybe you guys are familiar with it

  • If you are let me know, that would be cool

  • The actor that I worked with on this project was Yamashita Tomohisa

  • If you are a Johnny's fan you probably know him as Yamapi

  • He's a very famous singer and now actor

  • He was just the greatest person in the world to work with

  • It was very weird at first

  • When I was in high school I was a very big Johnny's fan

  • I loved NEWS

  • It was just mind blowing to meet him in person

  • But not only meet him in person, he was calling me sensei

  • and it was just really strange

  • But he is the sweetest person in the world

  • He's so professional, so kind, so fun to work with

  • and he's amazing at English

  • So I'm just really looking forward to seeing how his scenes turned out

  • I hope they sound really good

  • I'm just very excited!

  • I'm heading off to there now, and I will talk to you later!

  • Thank you for waiting out here in this cold weather

  • That makes me very happy

  • You're here to see the movie today right?

  • What you're not!?

  • I'm just joking

  • Well when you do come to see the movie

  • being a group of friends and have a great time

  • I'm sure you're all happy you got to see Yamapi today, right?

  • I'll let Yamashita-kun say a few words

  • Both the cast and the director are amazing

  • I think we created a new style of entertainment with this movie

  • I'm honoured to be a part of it

  • I would love for you all to come watch it

  • Thank you very much

  • After this we will have a photo session with the cast

  • but they will leave the stage for a moment now

  • Please give them a round of applause

  • Alright guys I'm back!

  • It's the day after the premier

  • and I had such a blast!

  • It was so fun getting to see the final product

  • because all I had seen was the raw footage

  • and when the movie started playing, the first thing that came into my mind was

  • Holy crap! The editing is amazing!

  • Because I remember what the scenes looked like as we were filming them

  • and being able to see them with the sound effects, CG, and music

  • and having them cut up and all the different angles put together

  • It just looked really cool, it was really really neat

  • I would've loved to have been able to be there for the editing process

  • because I feel like I could learn a lot from these people

  • But yeah that was the first thing that came into my mind when I was watching it

  • And Yamapi did great with his English, it sounded great

  • And the movie was really fun, it was really entertaining

  • It was quite long, I think it was 2 hours long

  • I don't wanna give away much about the movie

  • If you guys wanna go see it, please do!

  • It will be released here in Japan April 29th

  • So if you happen to be in Japan, please go see it in the theatres

  • and look for my name in the credits!

  • It's kind of easy to spot

  • because 99% of the names are in kanji, and then mines in English

  • So it kinda stands out which was cool

  • Oh and we got these awesome VIP seats

  • I'll put in a little clip of them right here so you guys can see what I'm talking about

  • They were leather and reclining

  • And we had these marble places to put our drinks and popcorn

  • It was really cool

  • So I hope you guys now have an idea of what I do for my job

  • When I'm not here on YouTube making videos

  • I was gonna make YouTube my full time thing

  • But when I got the offer for this movie job it was too cool to pass up

  • So I had to take it

  • So I hope you guys will be understanding when I'm a little slow posting videos on my main channel

  • They take a lot of time because I put subtitles on them

  • and I put a lot of time into editing for these videos

  • But when I'm not posting on this channel, I'm probably posting over on my 2nd channel

  • Because the videos over there are a little more relaxed

  • I don't edit them as heavily and I don't put subtitles on them

  • So I can get them up the same day that I film them

  • So if you would like more videos from me, please go subscribe over there

  • I usually put out 2-3 a week

  • Every few days or so

  • Yeah, I guess that's it

  • If you guys have any questions, leave them down below

  • and I'll seeya soon, bye!

Hey guys!
