Hello everyone -Hi!
-It's been a while since the last HideoTube.
This is the 6th episode right?
-It's been 6 months since the last episode!
-I thought about quitting this.
-Oh no no, let's keep doing it!
-I'm quite busy, so Yano-san can do it solo.
-You know viewership will drop without you, right?
-The treasures of Yano-san?
Wait, "treasure"?
"Treasure"?
-We've heard that somewhere...
-Well, you see, the National treasure of Denmark is on his way.
Celebrating Mads Mikkelsen's visit to Japan
and as for Kojima Productions, well
the studio facilities are finally complete!
-Right, the interiors and everything.
-We are in the kitchen right now.
-Which is right at the center of the studio.
-The rooms aren't separated,
and for some reason the kitchen is right next to where everyone is working.
Today's episode is a special episode: "Mads festa"
So I read about "Mads clusters" and "Mads swamps" on Twitter
What does all that means?
-I think by swamp they mean people that are swamped in Mads' charisma
-You mean like me, that I can't get out? Mads Swamp?
Mads swamp?
So that's "numa" (Japanese for swamp)
-Yup, swamp. So you would be neck-deep in the swamp.
-Actually it's overflowing from my eyes.
-Oh, so that was due to the swamp then?
-People must be thinking "shut up and bring him in already!"
-Sorry about that!
-Can you hear the treasure coming?
I have my nice clothes on, but my hair is messy and I can't do that with Mads,
so hopefully this will help (with the hair).
Alright, should we try calling him?
Mads-saaaann!! -Mads-saaaaaann!!
-Our staff is overly excited, they sound like different people
talking with a really high pitch.
-Never even knew they had that tone in their voice.
-Mads, you came to Japan I believe on May, 3 years ago.
And this would be your second time here. What's your impression of Japan?
-Nicolas Refn always goes "Hai! Hai!"
-I think so, yes
-Maybe arigato (thanks) and kanpai (cheers)
-Also "Godzilla".
-You came into our studio, the entrance, and walked around inside...
What was your impression of this, our studio?
-Currently we only have Ludens, the icon of Kojima Productions,
but as I make games, I want to add the main characters there
so next, Norman's and Mads' characters should be there.
When that happens, come visit us again.
-So you will featured in the game we are currently making, Death Stranding.
I understand that you first got the offer from Kojima-san,
and that you two first met last summer.
What was your impression of Kojima-san when you met him?
-What kind of things did Nicolas Refn tell you about Kojima-san?
-Now, I'd like to ask Kojima-san,
first, how did you meet Mads-san?
-Well, I first met him here.
I mean, I'm a huge fan of him,
and I really wanted him to be in the game.
When meeting someone, I don't like to put people in between when approaching someone;
I like to meet people directly,
explain the project I'm trying to do,
and once we understand each other, make an offer.
But for us, at first it was on Skype,
with Mads in Denmark and me in Tokyo.
There we had a video meeting,
and then we first met directly at Comic-Con.
And at Comic-Con we didn't have too much time,
so that had me a bit worried.
Then, in England, when we did the 3D scanning,
our first day was during the Olympics.
As Mads-san likes sports, we went to a sports bar.
And in there, we saw Denmark vs France together.
It was a handball match.
-That's right, the finals.
We came really close with that.
-After that I was able to talk about other things with Mads-san,
and I get along very well with Nicolas,
but age wise I'm closer to Mads. We are almost the same age, same generation.
So when we start talking about things we like, they are almost the same:
Steve McQueen, Bronson, Bruce Lee...
As for movies we like, about 3 of our favorite movies were the same.
That surprised me.
And from there, we got a better understanding of each other.
Of course, Nicolas is a good friend too.
Also, we both did gymnastics at some point.
So you mentioned you discussed your 3 favorite movies. What were those?
-Yes, I watched it.
-So last year you were shooting in England.
What was your impression?
I would think it was different from the work in movies you've done so far.
So what did you think?
Kojima-san, what kind of things did you talk with Mads when you were shooting?
-We talked about the setting, etc.
but the thing is Mads-san...
is just too cool.
We just start and...
Mads did some things that were different from what I instructed.
And I was thinking of fixing them,
but then I checked through the frame and they look really good,
so they went through.
-You approved them.
-We will be having you, Mads, in many times through the development.
-Absolutely, we have only started.
-So first, Kojima-san, what do you want from Mads moving forward?
-More than from Mads, I want to make Mads' fans all around the world happy,
show a new side of Mads Mikkelsen,
and be happy myself with it!
-So in that spirit, with Mads' physical abilities...
His acting is fantastic too,
but given his impressive physical abilities...
I mean, he plays table tennis with Olympic competitors.
So I want to focus on his movements.
Superhuman movements,
-So that's something we should expect.
Maybe ballet. Perhaps.
-People watching this must be losing it.
-Yeah, well, if someone doing this started dancing would be weird indeed.
-I'd love to see that.
-So Mads-san's...
best things...
...that's what I want to capture in the game,
that's what I'm planning.
Including cooking and else.
-Cooking?
-Throwing 3 eggs to the air and do that thing, you know?
-And of course, we have to consider the chemical reaction with Norman.
That's something people should look forward to.
-So are you ok to be cooking?
-Well, he can't just come out and do this.
-Given it will be your first time in a game,
is there anything that you, Mads, would want to try?
-Instead of doing "from A to Z"
let's do A to M; "A to Mads"
-We will keep this spot as the place where Mads-san sat.
-We will put a sticker on it,
so don't sit here.
-No one will be able to sit there!
-He hasn't been here yet.
-This is a special edition of Hideo Tube.
-That's right.
For Mads fans all around the world.
-So that was raw Mads!
How was it? First time you meet him, right?
-First time indeed.
-Had you met him in your dreams?
-I thought I met him plenty in dreams.
-You've seen several of his movies right?
-Yes, I've seen plenty
-So how was meeting him?
-A really nice person.
Very candid.
He greeted all our staff.
-Very popular!
-So before filming Mads for the prior clip,
you went earlier today with him to yakata-bune (pleasure boat)?
-From late morning, yes.
-So since we were taking him on the boat, we picked him up at his hotel,
and he is always already waiting.
-Mads is always ready 15 minutes ahead of time.
-Was that the case last year when in England?
-Yes, during capturing it was like that,
and when we have meetings, he is always early.
-That's great.
-He is by himself, smoking a cigarette outside while waiting.
He looks so cool and I'm just watching him, and then like 5 minutes have gone by...
-There were pictures of Mads in the boat smoking,
and those alone are so photogenic.
-So he was wearing the coat.
-The "happi" coat. *traditional coat
-Usually on these boats you would eat tempura,
but we brought in sukiyaki.
Well, they allowed us to bring sukiyaki,
We wanted something warm.
-Yes, it's cold there
-So we had that while going around view of the Tokyo bay,
As for Mads-san, they also have canals in Denmark
so maybe because of that, he seemed to enjoy the boat trip.
-So he was having a good time then.
-From there we brought him in to Kojima Productions.
We went from the main entrance,
and walked him around the studio.
We explained to him how we are making the game, and adding him to it.
Showed him some tests we are doing for the game.
-To Hideo's office, Shinkawa's office, etc.
-Shin-chan, he made a drawing of Mads-san.
Truth be told, he tried once and didn't look like him at all.
So he gave up on that at the middle of it.
-He stopped??
-He said he would make a drawing of him and then stopped,
so I asked him what happened.
Then he did again the drawing.
Even the second time it didn't look like Mads. (Joking)
-That's not true. It looks like him.
Mads was very happy with the drawing.
-Of course! It's the national treasure drawn by Yoji Shinkawa!
-It's the treasure by Shinkawa!
-He was at my office, and he stayed there for a long while.
And he started taking my treasures, my movie-items one after another.
It's fine though.
I was able to give him "The Way of the Dragon" too.
It was really nice. He looked happy.
-We showed him the studio,
some of the things we are working on,
and then we took him to eat sushi.
He likes sushi.
-I learned that he likes sushi at Comic-Con, as we had it there.
-Mads-san, he eats everything!
It's impressive.
He can eat many things that even me or Terashima-san can't eat.
For example uni (sea urchin) is difficult for some.
-Yes, there are many people that can't eat it.
So he was fine with raw fish.
-He is a man that eats all kind of things, all over the world.
-How about alcohol?
-He had sake. In general he drinks beer.
-So all Mads maniacs/fans in the world have already seen these,
but for those that are just entering the Mads swamp
-The ones that are getting in.
-Those to become Mads swampers.
-"Swampers"?
-So for them, Mads has been in many movies,
now he is also in Hollywood movies, going back and forth to Denmark.
-So this is just one part of that.
-It's quite a bit, and I haven't been able to see them all.
There are some that don't have Japanese subtitles.
But we picked up some that we can introduce.
-Now, I didn't buy a DVD/BR for those that I saw on Amazon / Hulu / Netflix.
-So this is just part of it.
-Which was the first movie that you saw from Mads?
-The one that first put me to think of him would have to be this one:
"Casino Royale"
-The first of the new 007 movies.
-And that?
-This, when you buy the package it includes this jacket.
-Wow, that's a nice jacket!
-It's includes everything, but for some reason it has Mads here.
-So this one.
This is the first one. I was impressed by his face.
Daniel Craig even paled a little bit.
-So he is the enemy of Bond, right?
After that, this one made a strong impression:
"Valhalla Rising"
I learned about Nicolas W. Refn with this movie.
-So you first heard about Nicolas Refn with this one?
-It took a while for this movie to be released in Japan,
but it got released in Hollywood and a friend there told me to watch this movie,
and an imported BluRay was available, so I got it.
It didn't have subtitles, but there is very little dialogue anyway.
He is missing an eye, he is "One Eye".
And in a novel I wrote in highschool, the main character was named Mono Eye.
When I told Nicolas Refn that, we hugged.
It was a testament to our friendship.
-So Mads is in this movie, quite impressive.
He has no dialogue.
-So there are many here,
but I wonder which would be my favorite...
Well, Hannibal I definitely recommend.
-There's up to season 3, yes.
-How far did you get?
-I watched season 1.
-They are showing this on Hulu (Japan).
This series has a cookbook too.
And this is something Mads said too, but it's not horror.
-Not horror?
-This would be an "Artistic film for the brainy".
-"Artistic film"?
-Mads is cooking,
and the scenes of cooking,
and when Mads' character is counceling,
usually in flashbacks,
the series goes between dialogues.
These are rather brainy dialogues,
so for some people might be hard to understand.
That and the close-ups to corpses.
-Close-ups to corpses?
-The ways they represent corpses are always new.
-Every time you keep thinking they can't get more original.
And they keep bringing new kinds of corpses.
So these 3 kinds of scenes are woven together,
and the outcome is fantastic.
That's art.
-They also use a bit of colors and high speed cameras.
-It's a kind of drama that didn't exist before.
And it was originally shown on open TV.
I wouldn't recommend it for children though.
-You dive into other worlds while watching.
-Takes you that far...
-Yup.
-So I definitely recommend this one, but
my number one would be this one:
"The Hunt" (Jagten). Danish movie.
This autograph I got it from him at Comic-Con.
-Oh, at last year's?
-From there, I can't ask for autographs anymore.
-Given our respective positions, no more autographs.
Did you see this one?
-Yes I did.
Per your recommendation actually.
-Yes, it was one of my 2 favorite movies from that year.
-This movie is about how one little girl, student of Mads' character,
she says she likes him,
and he does nothing, but she lies and says he did weird things to her.
-The girl lies.
-And it's a really small town,
so everyone is connected, and everyone turns against him.
They go really hard at him: kick him, punch him...
There's one meat shop in the town,
and you can only find meat in that shop.
So he goes there, but they refuse to sell to him.
I was like "You have to sell to Mads! C'mon!"
You have to sell meat to the national treasure of Denmark!
They don't sell him meat, they punch him, kick him...
What is wrong with you?
Use your magic!
Bring Cumberbatch on!
-Wait, this is all getting wrong!
-Cook them and eat them!
If they don't sell you meat, eat humans!
-But this movie is really fantastic.
-Be prepared for the ending.
-The ending is quite shocking, isn't it?
-I can't think of a worse ending than this.
It's in the same category as "The Mist" and "Come and see".
-I strongly recommend this one. For me, it's the best one.
And because it's my number one, I wanted it signed.
I taught him the pronunciation of the Japanese title, "Itsuwari naki mono"
Mads has perfect pronunciation. Because of his good hearing.
Also I would say "Pusher" of my friend, Nicolas Refn.
1 & 2 are available,
and 2 is remarkable.
-He is the main character on Pusher 2.
-This one is impressive.
His head is completely shaved.
-And has "Respect" tattooed behind his head.
-Yeah, I thought doing that myself.
-Ended up not doing it because my forehead is big.
-Also, "The Door", where he speaks in German
showing how talented he is in languages.
This is about time travel,
but from the middle, the story takes an unexpected turn.
This one is fun too.
"Royal Affair" that features Alicia-chan, who I really like.
For me, as an Alicia-chan fan,
even though I'm a fan of Mads,
he kisses her, so I wanted to take his place.
I mean, I wanted to take Mads' place there.
-Yeah, for this one I felt different watching it.
I was watching it as a Mads movie,
but from the middle my mind switched.
Switched to "what are you doing to my Alicia?!"
Now this one is one of the most recent films.
-Right, this one.
-This is a story about revenge.
This one is also rather rare.
A Danish story...
-It's a western movie
about Danish inmigrants.
-About how they immigrate to United States.
Else, this one, Bleeder.
-I haven't seen this one yet.
-This one is also really interesting.
It's Nicolas' second film.
-That's his second work?
-Nicolas Refn is a brainy otaku.
He really loves movies.
So the character representing Nicolas is played by Mads,
as a worker at a video shop.
-So Mads plays a character reminiscent of Nicolas.
-Yes, Mads played a good role of Nicolas.
-Now, the interesting part is that as Mads plays Nicolas' character,
Mads falls for a girl.
There's this beautiful girl.
And he tries to approach her. A little like Deniro in Taxi Driver,
a bit awkwardly.
He approaches her over and over, and it ends when its starting to look good.
And that is actually played by Nicolas' wife.
-Wow, that is indeed interesting
-What else...
-This one!
-You can't say you're a Mads fan without having seen this.
Look at this! "Bullet of Love"
In this one, this girl,
Evan Rachel Wood,
She is the heroine of the movie.
And her ex-husband is played by Mads.
Quite a violent man.
They used to be really close, but they are now divorced.
But Mads' character still feels for her.
The intro of this one is really interesting.
This guy, he loses his mother in the US,
and he was really close to her,
and the mother, before dying, tells him to go to Hungary? (*Romania actually)
And because he loved her so much, he is quite hurt.
He doesn't knows what to do, so in order to try to heal, he goes to where his mother told him.
-Bucharest?
-He gets into a plane without any plans.
And in the plane he becomes friends with the man sitting next to him.
-But after becoming friends, the man is suddenly dead.
He is surprised by this,
and through what the man left behind, he meets this girl.
-Now I see
-He falls in love with her, and tries to get close.
But behind the girl is Mads.
The treasure.
No way he can beat Mads, right?
Well, he did fight robots.
That doesn't necessarily mean he is strong.
Anyway, Mads is quite impressive.
His character's name is Nigel,
I think he is a killer.
He is a man of that kind of business.
And its impressive how he is shown. Goes to the limit.
-To the limit?
-He wears a shirt of dog prints,
a colored shirt, standing in that outfit,
and looks cool.
It's impressive to see him run at full speed.
There's a scene where they are running away in a car,
and he chases them,
but he eclipses T-1000 from Terminator 2.
I thought that James Cameron was holding a megaphone somewhere!
And the one thing that surpasses that Mads running at full speed is
Doctor Strange.
-Really?
-For about half of the movie he is running at full speed.
-Mads?
-I asked him, and it was really him running.
-Wouldn't expect less from a man of his physical abilities.
-I want to wait until the BluRay comes out,
but it is taking quite long.
This one for example, I want in BluRay and was waiting for it.
-But it hasn't come out yet.
-Make sure you see this one.
-I also recommend "The Door".
-Yeah, that was a good movie.
-I mean, I recommend them all.
-But it comes down to Hannibal I guess?
-So for the people that are entering the Mads swamp, see Hannibal.
-This one, yes.
Mads is a guy that when he gets hit and dripping blood looks cooler.
-I think this one is better than the other (white).
-And the thing about him is, even if he hides his eyes and only shows his mouth, it looks good.
This alone suffices to identify him
And he is in Japan for Doctor Strange.
-Yes, it is now released in Japan too.
-In Dec. in the US, Doctor Strange was released first, then Rogue One, and the trailer of Death Stranding.
-So in the US it was a festival! -Three of Mads at once.
In Japan it came late, and has just been released.
-How about Rogue One?
-Rogue One for me, is the best in the Star Wars series.
-Agree, best One.
-And Mads' role here is very good too.
-Yeah, the father right?
He's really quite good. Well, I don't want to spoil it.
-Yeah, that wouldn't be good.
-Anyway, Mad's role is great.
(Can't stop talking about Mads...)
(New Movie Introduction)
- Doctor Strange is out in theaters now.
The original comic is not so well known in Japan.
-Yes, not so widely known.
-Most Japanese people associate the name with Dr. Strangelove.
-Yes. I thought the same thing.
-Where's the "love"? How are we supposed to keep them straight!?
The original comic was created by Stan Lee.
Dr. Strange was born in 1963, the same year as me.
-Do you mean when the comic first debuted?
-Yes. Dr. Strange, the comic, is 53 years old.
-53.
There are many Marvel comics, but the nuance of this one is a bit different.
The hero doesn't have innate superpowers.
-Oh, I see.
-He's played by Benedict Cumberbatch.
He's a medical doctor
who insists on being called by the title of "Doctor."
He's a bit conceited.
In a way he resembles the hero of Iron Man.
-So he starts out the story as a regular medical doctor?
-He's a genius surgeon.
-A surgeon. OK.
Rachel McAdams plays his ex-lover.
She works in the ER,
so everyday she has to deal with a countless number of patients.
Dr. Strange, however, is on another level.
This kind of guy.
At the beginning of the movie she brings him a patient who ER can't help.
He's basically declared dead.
She brings him to Dr. Strange, and says you're the only one who can save him.
We're shown what an amazing surgeon he is.
Right away we understand his personality.
He lives by himself in a posh New York apartment.
-In a pentouhouse.
-There's a grand piano, etc.
He gets into an accident while driving his sports car,
and loses feeling in both of his hands.
-I see. He loses his "godlike" hands.
-To him, his hands are his life, the source of his pride.
He's "Doctor" Strange, right? But he can no longer be a doctor
without feeling in his hands.
He undergoes multiple unsuccessful surgeries, and eventually doctors refuse to try any more.
Eventually he just falls apart.
Hi ex-lover, Rachel McAdams, tries to help him,
but he turns on her and accuses her of seeing him as a charity case.
Just really lets her have it.
He's at his end, so what does he do?
There's a patient in the hospital records
who had a severe spinal injury,
but can now walk and even play basketball.
"How can this be?"
So he goes to meet the guy.
Sure enough, he's playing basketball.
He calls the guy over, but gets yelled at.
"I know you, you're the stuck up doctor who wouldn't help me."
"I'm sorry", he apologizes.
"How can you walk?"
So then he shares his secret.
-What's that?
-Kathmandu.
Ohh, I see. So, he has to head east, is that it?
This guy who was abandoned by Western medicine
-OK. I get it.
-has to go on a journey by himself to the mysterious orient.
We'll, it's a little like Batman Begins.
As you know, in the Marvel universe, many heroes come upon their power
through physical contact with a scientific experiment.
-Yeah, that's right.
-Or the character comes from space,
or somewhere else.
That's not the case here.
Dr. Strange was a genius surgeon, but just a normal human.
He loses his power,
and travels to a new world, the mysterious orient
where he finds new power by building up his mental strength.
His master is played by the actress I like.
Tilda Swinton
-This person is his master?
-Yes.
Under her, Doctor Strange learns magic,
or you could say undergoes spiritual training.
Tilda's previous student, played by Mads Mikkelsen,
has gone over to the dark side.
He attacks Doctor Strange.
The story is about Doctor Strange being forced to
confront him even though his training is incomplete.
Visually it's quite refreshing.
Buildings bend and twist, etc.
-There are several scenes like that in the trailer.
-Their is a lot of action
that blends Kung-fu with something like Chi.
They use it to bend space-time,
and control gravity, etc.
It's quite a bit different from what we're used to seeing.
Benedict Cumberbatch's cape is also alive.
It has a will of its own.
It's like a wild stallion
The cape is usually locked up in a case.
Like a wild stallion, it chooses its master.
No one can control it, that's why it's locked up.
When the case is broken open though,
the cape wraps itself on Doctor Strange's shoulders.
-It's like the cape knows Doctor Strange is the one?
-Right, then everyone is like, "Wow, he can control the cape!"
There's a scene where Benedict Cumberbatch tries to walk forward,
but the cape is holds him back.
He's running in place like this.
That kind of humor is present throughout the movie.
-I think I have a feel for what the movie is like.
Sound fun.
The cast is full of actors and actresses I like.
This is the extravagant cast.
Benedict Cumberbatch
Rachel McAdams
I not familiar with him. (Chiwetel Ejiofor)
I love this guy. He's a British Actor. (Benedict Wong)
I've seen him in Black Mirror, among other things.
Of course, Mads Mikkelsen.
Finally, Tilda Swinton.
A lot of effort has been put into
the Japanese version of the film as well.
Benedict Cumberbatch is voiced by our very own Satoshi Mikami.
Other cast are voiced by Kanako Higuchi, Daisuke Ono and Nao Matsushita.
Nao Matsushita and I are from the same town of Kawanishi.
-Really? Wow.
-It will be my third time seeing the movie this week. (At the time of airing.)
-That's amazing.
You're really into it.
We'll, you know I just saw Mad Max: Fury Road Black & Chrome.
That was the 18th time.
-The 18th time...
-All right, so that's Doctor Strange.
In theaters now.
-In theaters now.
-So, that was our Mads Festival.
-Hard to believe it's already over.
Well, Mads in in Rogue One
and Doctor Strange, which are both out now.
Many people became his fans because of these movies.
He can also be seen in Hannibal on Hulu (Japan).
You can join or try the video streaming service.
Once you join a video service it's hard to...
-Really hard to give it up.
-There are many past works you'll want to catch up on.
Construction has finally finished,
so now we can hold meetings
and staff interviews without trouble.
-Yes, we can finally hold them at the office.
-We didn't have a place for interviews before,
so we would hold them at a local coffee shop.
We apologize for the trouble.
Interview applicants were probably worried about the company.
We're respectable now.
-Yes. We're good.
-Please apply for a position without worrying.
-We have this very nice kitchen here too.
That's the end of our Mads Mikkelsen special.
I hope you enjoyed it.
Mads is still here, so I'm going to go show him around town.
-From now? Please have a good time.
-Until next time.
I don't know if they're will be a next time, so
-They're be a next time don't worry.
-Goodbye.
-Goodbye. Wait what!?
(Your glass is always half full Hideo! - Mads Mikkelsen)
(Thank you for visiting Mads! Please stop by again soon!)
