  • Hey guys, it's Chika!

  • So I am at the YouTube Space Tokyo today

  • and I have a very very very special guest!

  • Will Smith!

  • Oh my gosh!

  • We made a little video.

  • Yes! We had fun.

  • Yeah, we had fun.

  • That was wonderful.

  • This was my first time in the YouTube space

  • and you took really good care of me here.

  • I wanted you to experience a little Japanese-y ness.

  • I love it. Love it. Love it!

  • Thank you so much.

  • And hope you guys check it out.

  • And don't forget to give us a like

  • at the end of the video and subscribe!

  • Oh my gosh, it's Will!

  • Are we gonna learn how to make sushi for real

  • or we just going to eat something?

  • Both.

  • Both?

  • and you know how to make it?

  • You've taken a class before?

  • We're gonna do it home style.

  • Home style! Okay.

  • That means you don't know how to make it...

  • I'm ready!

  • Well, welcome!

  • We're gonna sit here.

  • We're going to sit here.

  • We're rolling, everyone!

  • Lots of people in the room.

  • I'm not used to this!

  • I know. We're ready. Okay? Yes!

  • I'm hungry...

  • Did you have lunch?

  • I did not.

  • This is gonna be my lunch.

  • Okay, good!

  • So I hope you're really ready to teach me for real.

  • I was born ready!

  • You stay ready, so you don't have to get ready.

  • I know you've probably had sushi before.

  • Yes.

  • You've been in Japan...

  • Quite a few times, yes.

  • Yes. I've never actually made any before.

  • I've never made my own.

  • That's what I figured.

  • Since I don't know how to make a real sushi.

  • I thought we could do a home style sushi,

  • which is actually something we do

  • quite a lot with your family.

  • And so I'm going to bring out some stuff

  • Yes. What do you have?

  • Should I help?

  • Oh, here it comes, here it comes!

  • Don't look yet!

  • Don't look!

  • I'm blocking my eyes...

  • Whoo, yes!

  • Have you seen sushi like this before?

  • I've never seen it in this fashion before...

  • the unprepared state.

  • So we've got rice.

  • Yes.

  • Vinegared rice.

  • and we have also seaweed.

  • Oh, seaweed.

  • Okay, so it would be like hand wraps.

  • Yup!

  • Hand-rolled sushi.

  • Hand-rolled sushi. Yes!

  • And there's not much to teach, really.

  • No! There is a special technique to it.

  • Alright, so let's get started!

  • So what do you do?

  • Here's some seaweed for you.

  • Is this what it is... like for you

  • when you're making movies having...

  • All that? Yes, absolutely.

  • I want to show my audience

  • what's going on right here

  • because I'm usually in my room filming by myself.

  • Plus, about 50 more people on the set

  • when you're making a movie

  • and then 400 more outside and then another...

  • you know, 250 in the office.

  • There's a lot of people when you're making a movie.

  • So the population density in Tokyo

  • doesn't bother you that much.

  • No, not at all.

  • Alright, so now we're going to take some rice.

  • Okay, so we think of sushi in the United States

  • as Japanese food.

  • Is it like that, or is it a delicacy

  • or is it just every day, the normal diet?

  • I mean, it's a major part of our cuisine.

  • But there are different forms.

  • So when you go to a really nice sushi restaurant,

  • you can't talk

  • because you have to be really quiet eating.

  • That kind of stuff.

  • Then you have the more casual,

  • the merry-go-round sushi.

  • Yeah, yeah, yeah.

  • So I think we present it in different ways

  • so everyone can enjoy it.

  • Got it, got it.

  • And this one's kind of the one

  • you would make it at home.

  • The fun thing about making sushi at home

  • is that you can play around with the ingredients.

  • Like this is beef.

  • That's beef.

  • Like you wouldn't normally put beef.

  • and that's natto.

  • Natto?

  • Yeah. Have you ever...?

  • No. What's natto?

  • It's fermented soybeans.

  • Yeah, but it's not though!

  • That was a good one.

  • I don't know how I'm gonna translate that, actually.

  • Cream cheese, avocado, egg, salmon, okura.

  • So you can kind of play around with ingredients.

  • and that's what makes it fun.

  • Okay so then you take your wet towel

  • and you clean your hand.

  • Is it anything...? Is it just water

  • or is there another substance or something on the...?

  • Just water.

  • It's Just Water

  • For the 120 frames per second film.

  • Ah! See? Exactly!

  • That's right up there with "not though"!

  • Yeah, but it's not though.

  • And then you'll take one of these. Here you go.

  • See? All right, now this is a new thing

  • I've never done anything with one of these.

  • Except at the doctor.

  • It's a little big.

  • So, you're gonna scoop up some rice.

  • You usually dip it in water

  • so the rice doesn't stick.

  • Okay, does somebody have some water?

  • Wait, hold on! No, no, no!

  • Oh, you got Just Water!

  • I got Just Water.

  • Is that what that's for?

  • You don't know anything about making sushi either.

  • I thought I was coming and I was excited

  • and they say you're gonna teach me

  • how to make sushi and then...

  • Let's just wing it!

  • Alright, so you pull it out

  • and then you'll put some...

  • What you can do actually,

  • since you have this wet towel

  • that's very wet, right?

  • You can use your fingers to even it out.

  • You can use your fingers.

  • Yes, you can.

  • and then you can use it to even it out.

  • You wanna roll it like in a triangular...

  • Like a cone.

  • Roll it like a cone?

  • Okay, see how mine's kind of triangular like this.

  • Ah, got it.

  • So when you roll it, it's prettier.

  • Oh, okay, so it rolls better

  • when you do it that way.

  • Okay, and then you'll put whatever you like in it.

  • I'll try the natto.

  • What is it, actually?

  • It's fermented soybeans.

  • Fermented soybeans! Ooh...

  • It's got this very nice gooey, slimy texture.

  • Yeah, so...you know what?

  • I'll make this for you.

  • I know you were gonna do this!

  • So I'll do it with the natto.

  • What else goes with the natto?

  • Cucumbers are good.

  • Cucumbers are good with natto?

  • Oh squid.

  • Oh, you can use your chopsticks.

  • Oh, okay. So I'm gonna have to put.

  • How about that?

  • Does that go with natto, or...?

  • Everything kind of goes together.

  • So you can just be creative and have fun.

  • That's the great thing about hand-rolled sushi.

  • You can do whatever you want!

  • At home you just have fun!

  • and nobody watches you, judging you.

  • So I can put a little bit of that in there?

  • And then how about some of the wasabi?

  • Yup. Do you know how to eat with wasabi

  • so you don't taste the spiciness?

  • No.

  • You put some wasabi in your mouth

  • and breathe in through your nose

  • and breathe out through your mouth.

  • In through your nose and out through, so...

  • So I take it and put it in my mouth. Right?

  • And you're saying that

  • when I put this with Wasabi in my mouth,

  • I'm not gonna feel the normal wasabi burn.

  • If you breathe in through your nose...

  • Okay, circular breathing?

  • Oh, sh*t! What am I supposed to do?

  • Breathe in!

  • It's not true...

  • It's not true...

  • You can get mad at my husband

  • because he told me that.

  • He told you to do that?

  • Yeah, that doesn't work.

  • Definitely, circular breathing doesn't work

  • to stop the Wasabi from hurting...

  • Well, Will's just gonna do his own thing.

  • Oh sorry!

  • No, it's good!

  • Oh, that's right!

  • You do the circular, kind of.

  • Oh, yes!

  • That makes all the difference in the world.

  • Like this!

  • Yes, then it's a cone.

  • And then the bottom you do the little fold...

  • Does that help?

  • So it doesn't come out.

  • Cheers!

  • Oh, he is gonna eat it!

  • I didn't think you'd eat it!

  • Why? Is there something wrong...?

  • Oh my goodness!

  • I didn't think you'd eat it!

  • This has been sitting out back for 3 days.

  • I thought we were just doing a vlog.

  • Do you like the natto?

  • Do you taste it?

  • I'm tasting it a very little bit, but it's good!

  • I really do like that.

  • Oh, good!

  • It was a little scary at first, right?

  • Yeah.

  • It doesn't resemble anything

  • I've ever eaten before.

  • But it's very tasty.

  • Yeah.

  • It's hard to talk with my mouth full, but...

  • it was very good.

  • How's your taste buds changed over the years?

  • You know, with sushi,

  • I've always loved sushi.

  • But as I've gotten older,

  • I've gotten more aggressive with what I can eat.

  • I'll try anything.

  • You weren't as open before.

  • Yeah, I was not open at all

  • when I was younger.

  • But I got to the point where I get excited

  • to try something I've never tasted before,

  • something I've never seen before.

  • What's the craziest thing you've ever eaten?

  • Craziest thing?

  • We have chicken skewers in Japan.

  • Yakitori.

  • At certain places,

  • they'll have something called a Chouchin,

  • which means lantern.

  • And it's like the chicken meat

  • and it comes with like an egg attached to it.

  • Chicken meat with an egg attached to it.

  • So, it's an egg before it's actually been...

  • Before it's been laid.

  • Oh, okay. Yeah, that's interesting.

  • I hope I'm explaining that right.

  • So they go get it before it's been...okay.

  • I thought I was gonna say...you know,

  • I've eaten alligator.

  • Oh, I've had crickets.

  • Have you ever eaten crickets before?

  • Chocolate covered or raw??

  • No, they were just fried crickets.

  • Was it good?

  • You know, it just tastes like a potato chip.

  • You can probably put it in here.

  • Yeah, it would be great.

  • Because you'd get the little crunch.

  • I'm gonna make one more.

  • Oh, good!

  • Will likes it!

  • Because I can feel that I'm really good at it.

  • I may be about to start a sushi restaurant

  • when I get home.

  • I mean, I'm sure people can see my natural talent

  • you know, for this is just coming through.

  • So, what are you gonna mix this time?

  • This time, I'm gonna go with an avocado.

  • I think I'm going to go here.

  • Oh, you know what?

  • That's another thing.

  • There's probably a certain science

  • to what you put in there that I can tell

  • I don't know either.

  • I guess texture.

  • It's fun to mix up the textures.

  • Yeah, something like that. Right?

  • Yeah, that was too much.

  • But I'll just put a little bit in there.

  • What is that?

  • That is mayonnaise.

  • Mayonnaise?

  • I'm not gonna put that in there.

  • It actually goes pretty well with sushi.

  • Really?

  • At my restaurant, we're not gonna have mayonnaise.

  • I didn't think you'd get so into it!

  • This is great!

  • I'm enjoying this.

  • I like sushi a lot.

  • It's one of the...you know,

  • when I know I'm coming to Tokyo,

  • it's one of the things that I really look forward to.

  • Do you ever eat sushi back in the States or...?

  • I live about...sorry.

  • You have rice on your finger...

  • I'm hungry!

  • This is the perfect opportunity to do an interview

  • and have something to eat.

  • I live about 10 minutes from Nobu in Los Angeles.

  • I've actually been there before!

  • Oh, really? It's fantastic.

  • We went to Nobu here the other night too.

  • So, just to talk a little bit about your film.

  • Oh, yes, sorry.

  • I forgot about that.

  • Can we go back to that?

  • I think I know why he is as good as you.

  • He is you.

  • What is so special about Gemini Man is

  • at the center of it

  • you have 2 characters played by 1 person

  • across generations.

  • You're looking at Will

  • who's looking at his younger self.

  • That's a phenomenal experience for an audience.

  • I play both 50 years old Henry and 23 years old Junior

  • who is sent to kill him.

  • I know! I forgot!

  • We were supposed to be talking about Gemini Man.

  • I'm glad you liked it!

  • Yup. It's fantastic. I'm very happy with that.

  • And what do you think about making it yourself

  • and kind of picking out your own ingredients?

  • I really enjoy that!

  • Yeah, it's fun.

  • Well, I was excited when I got the idea

  • that you wanted to do sushi together

  • and I didn't realize I was gonna enjoy it that much.

  • That's wonderful.

  • Yeah, me too. Yay!

  • I started my channel to teach Japanese people English.

  • So I started with lesson videos

  • and now I do kind of traveling,

  • just fun ways to kind of be exposed

  • to the English conversations.

  • So I was wondering if you could give us

  • 3 adjectives to describe younger you?

  • Younger me?

  • and 3 to describe "now you".

  • Whoo...okay, so the 3 to describe younger me...

  • One, let's go "naive".

  • "fearless",

  • "ambitious".

  • How has that changed?

  • There can be overlap.

  • Yeah, there's some overlap.

  • Are you gonna put the words on the screen?

  • Yeah.

  • Should I show where they are?

  • I thought the "fearless".

  • Oh, sorry!

  • And the older me...

  • Let me see...

  • That's pretty tough, huh?

  • No. Because I have one that I want to say

  • but it doesn't feel like it.

  • Because I feel like I've become wise.

  • But I'm wise enough to know I'm not wise.

  • Wiser.

  • Yes, "wiser"!

  • And on YouTube,

  • we see a lot of people making videos

  • "a message to my younger self", right?

  • And I kind of want to take it the opposite

  • and if your younger self was to give you a message now,

  • what would he say?

  • He would say, "Man, you have got to get in the gym.

  • You're getting a gut!"

  • I don't see it!

  • He would say,

  • "You're wearing all baggy shirts now, dude!

  • You gotta get back in the gym!"

  • I think my younger self would tell me

  • to not take it so seriously.

  • To stop thinking about outcomes.

  • Forget about outcomes.

  • Just play and dance.

  • Just to have fun.

  • In Japan, culturally, we're very sensitive to age.

  • Like aging.

  • and if you get older, you can't do certain things

  • and what people think of you

  • like "you're too old to do this".

  • That's interesting

  • because the impression is different in America

  • of Japanese aging.

  • In America,

  • when you think about Japanese people aging,

  • you think about health and wisdom.

  • So that's the impression.

  • So the impression of a Japanese elder

  • is what you would strive to want to be as an elder.

  • Oh, that's an interesting perspective.

  • But when it comes to challenging yourself or careers.

  • I mean, it's a new generation as well, right?

  • You're right. Absolutely.

  • Given that, what's age to you or aging to you?

  • It's interesting.

  • There was a book I read a couple of years ago.

  • He talked about the idea of 10,000 hours

  • being the amount of time it takes

  • to a human to master something.

  • Outliers. It was Outliers.

  • and he talked about

  • if you're willing to apply 10,000 hours to something,

  • you will be a master.

  • I always thought that was an interesting concept

  • and what it really said to me

  • even outside of the mathematics of it

  • that your life is about your time and your attention.

  • Where do you put your time

  • and where you put your attention

  • is going to be what your life is.

  • And at any age that you apply time

  • and attention to something,

  • you can't help but move toward mastery.

  • And it's just how bad do you really want to do it

  • is what it comes down to.

  • So it's almost an excuse, right?

  • Yes, absolutely.

  • Age can definitely be an excuse.

  • So with my husband,

  • we have a 1-year-old daughter as well

  • who couldn't be here today.

  • But we do a lot of travel videos

  • and we're actually taking 3 months at a time

  • to live in different countries.

  • Because we want to share different, you know,

  • ways of thinking and cultures.

  • And I know you've been all over.

  • Yes.

  • Is there a place that you would like to live?

  • Maybe not even long term,

  • but if you could be somewhere for like 3 months

  • just to experience more.

  • I think...somewhere in the Middle East.

  • I love Dubai.

  • And I've never really spent extended time

  • in the Middle East.

  • I have a real pull and a real draw to the Middle East.

  • Yeah, you know, I would love to live in Dubai.

  • What about Dubai was kind of.. pulled you?

  • I just love how boldly they dream in the architecture

  • and in the establishment of this city

  • from nothing but sand.

  • I love the boldness of how wildly they create.

  • It really speaks to my heart

  • to attack your dreams in that fashion.

  • We're always thinking, you know,

  • where do we wanna go next?

  • Yeah, Dubai is definitely something we'd consider.

  • Dubai is fantastic.

  • So, we got you to eat some sushi.

  • Are you good?

  • I am fantastic!

  • I actually have one more

  • special kind of sushi I'd like to share with you.

  • Uh-oh.

  • Why "uh-oh" ?

  • Because you saved it for last.

  • This was nice, right?

  • This was spectacular.

  • But you were hiding it.

  • Are you ready for this?

  • Okay, so we actually found a sushi artist

  • that makes these.

  • Whatever this is.

  • So you don't even know what it is!

  • No, I know it!

  • So this is one roll.

  • and we're gonna open them up.

  • Are you ready?

  • I'm ready. I'm ready.

  • That's hilarious!

  • That is fantastic!

  • and that's not it! Wait!

  • That's genius.

  • Younger Will.

  • That is very, very cool.

  • That's fantastic.

  • Will Sushi!

  • Will Sushi!

  • I think that's my new nickname, Will Sushi.

  • A sushi artist named Tama-chan created this.

  • That's hilarious!

  • That is wonderful.

  • Because I probably can't eat myself.

  • I'm not gonna eat myself.

  • Yeah, I was wondering if you're gonna take a bite of it.

  • Thank you for your time and being on the channel.

  • You're like mesmerized by this.

  • I know! I'm like "that's some good artistry there."

  • Okay, this one looks like Jamie Foxx a little bit, but...

  • That is fantastic.

  • But it is hard because you haven't changed!

  • I mean, you've changed but...

  • you know, they had to make you look older

  • in the film, right?

  • I know. They had to grey me up a little bit...

  • to make the contrast.

  • So I think it was a difficult project.

  • Thank you so much!

  • If you wanna say something to the Japanese fans?

  • Yes! Which one?

  • Middle camera.

  • This is a very exciting film.

  • Gemini? You say Gemini.

  • I hope you enjoy it.

  • The technology, the action...

  • I think there are some aspects of this film that

  • will be some of the most amazing shots

  • you see in a movie this year.

  • So I hope you enjoy.

  • Yeah, it was mind-blowing.

  • Creating a digital human is one of the hardest things

  • you can do in visual effects.

  • This is not de-aging.

  • This is not face replacement.

  • What you see for his junior is

  • completely digital creation.

  • 100% driven by Will Smith's performance capture.

  • I could've have played Junior at 23 years old

  • but now I'm able to understand

  • and capture both characters

  • because of the amount of experience that I've had

  • as an actor.

  • I was telling my viewers how nervous I was for today.

  • You know...going from the session

  • The first question is for you, Will.

  • With Gemini Man,

  • they've created a 100% digital human of a younger you.

  • and I wonder what your first reaction was

  • when you first saw that.

  • Because I get excited

  • just looking at the younger self filters

  • on Instagram and Snapchat like "oh my god!".

  • So I can't even imagine what it was like for you.

  • Every time I look at, it's such an amazing thing.

  • It's scary but it's also very exciting

  • pushing the envelope of what we can do in film.

  • Thank you so much.

  • Give us a big like!

  • Don't forget to subscribe.

  • I'm sure you already know about it.

  • But Will has his own YouTube channel.

  • Yes, exactly.

  • And you can subscribe and like over there also,

  • if you'd like.

  • Alright guys, thank you so much for watching!

  • A huge thanks to Will Smith for being on the channel

  • and we will see you guys again soon.

  • Bye!

  • Alright, thank you so much!

  • Alright, guys!

  • Oh my gosh! A huge day just ended.

  • I hope so!

  • Alright guys, thank you so much for watching!

  • Don't forget to give us a big like

  • and I will see you guys again soon.

  • Bye!

  • Go check out Gemini Man!

  • In English, it's Gemini.

Hey guys, it's Chika!
