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! ^_^
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.
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 ♥
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
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
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.
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。
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
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. : )
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.
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!
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.
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
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!
"See you someday down the road". That's a lovely goodbye.
It really is, I kind of got choked up after hearing him say it.
Yuko seems like such a kind and genuine person, I really like her. Vice have her do more episodes!
+1!
Glad to see my Samoan brother speak Japanese is dope asf! Malo uso!
Wearing a seki shirt too!
Such an interesting talk they had, its kinda refreshing to see japanese people having constructive criticism of japanese society.
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.
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
This was probably my favorite interview on Vice. At age 18 he knew what he wanted to do and executed it. Inspiration.
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
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! ^_^
i agree, refreshing is theeeee word :D
I couldn't agree more. Lovely video!
ditto
He seemed stand-offish
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.
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.
幼稚園の頃、大好きだったから羨ましい！！！

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.
めっちゃいい人なんだな〜
koishiki was always the sumo wrestler the crowd loved...the biggest contestant... didnt they call him the dump truck? quite a serious guy.
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
まぁな偉そうなブスは見てるだけで腹立つからな
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
「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。
単純に外国人から見たらブスじゃないってことだろ
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。
i just love the reporter, she look so cool and its fun with her. good job girl!
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。
無知晒しすぎでしょ
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
いいものを見させてもらいました。
I live a couple blocks away from Konishski! He's a real cool guy.
+Aw Snap he was also ozeki who lost out on Yokozuna status because of racism in my opinion. Talented for sure.
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.
小錦大好き
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
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。
Yuka Uchida is an amazing host! Bloody brilliant! :) Keep up the videos guys!
I knew Konishiki. He really is genuinely kind and caring. Hes also very funny lol. I miss him.
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...)
Love listening to the uso speaking Japanese
ウチダユカさんの密着番組見てみたいです。
That was beautiful! Thanks guys! you both just had such a great time - Just lovely!
小錦、いい感じだなぁ。
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。
Great Japanese video vice keep em coming... I miss the food.
内田さん好きだわ
I really want to have a date with Yuka!
me too!
Jeremy Cabahug i saw her first!
I like her personality, but looks wise not so much.
the line is long
viceのインタビュアーの時点で馬鹿じゃないし愛嬌有るよね〜ゆかさん
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。

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... : )
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. : )
KONISHIKIの「ハグ」が紳士的ですね。
he seems like a really chill person to hang out with
Yuka you are the best! The more I watch about you, the more I admire your work!
this was so interesting, I love konishiki and sumo in general, it would be nice to see more of these
Just awesome... this is the first time watching this he is just humble dude. N her just funny cool cool godbless
This is making me hungry. Gotta go get me some Japanese food.
VICE JAPAN PLEASE EAT WITH MORE PEOPLE! LOVE FROM GERMANY!
かっこいい
見てて楽しい 旅したくなったw
Yuka is cute
小錦さん。一番好きなお相撲さん
I like his Samoan pattern shirt..
Watching vice eats always makes me hungry
彼女のキャラ好き。
Oh man, that was a great one. The conversation was wonderful.
Konishiki reminds me so much of my uncle. Damn.
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.
My uncle, Haku, was also a sumo wrestler in Japan.
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!
やっぱりこにしきさんらしい！(♡˙︶˙♡)
優しい方なんだね
She is amazing. :)
Nice interview! Good job, Yuka-san.
love these and such a great way to do an interview
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。
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.
His legs are messed up from being morbidly obese.
Lol true. God bless him he get healthier soon
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
whenever an episode on vice japan ends that has Yuko as the host, I feel sad. I would like some more please.
ユカさんめっちゃ可愛いなw
It's so great that she was given an assignment like this, after that whole Korean wine fiasco...
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
So enjoyable..... not only is that lady very pretty but she has just the nicest hands! LOL!
One love from your tongan brother
this was really heartwarming to watch~ oh man im a fan of this girl
Sumo legend. Glad to see he's let himself go, in the good way this time.
Interesting, but I would have liked it more if Chanmomo was there too. She and Yuka should be joined at the hip.
行ってみたいなぁ
Sum of the best beer and sake I drank in Japan loved it next stop Europe for sum more great memories
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
tengmen それな
I like this interviewer
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!
"You can really drink. You're like a yokozuna. " LOL
speaks fluent in samoan and japanese. damn the uce is talented
was he on fast furious tokyo drift, he looks just like the big dude at the bath house with the bear tattoo????
+Zangetsu1892 yes
Great video!
"So you have to move outta my way..." haHA Love the random english.
11:41 Soon as I saw that I was like O_O yooo

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？

NIGGA

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
コニちゃん！！！！！！！！
すごい(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))
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。
That guy is the man
awesome!
Yuko is so professional and cool! And the big guy! Suck a wisdom guy! Kudos..
Can someone pls tell me what and where this restaurant is?
I love her
I like him, hes such a joker
