Hiroyuki Sanada is better than Tom Cruise: - His career is much more longer - He has acted in Shakespeare's plays (both in Japanese and English) - He used to be a singer during the 80's and 90's (His songs are great!) - He knows different martial arts He is a true artist! (No one can be compared to him!)
Its funny because sanada and cruise played on the last samurai but sanada is far more well known in japan, while, and I am sorry guys, cruise is more well recognized internationally.
U Should also see some of his lesser known Roles such as:- Captain Kaneda in "Sunshine"; and Matsuda Umezaki in "Mr Holmes"...... The Man's Screen Presence is Immense! 👍👍👍
Yes Hiroyuki and and also Ken Watanabe were magnificent. Whenever that movie is on tv I wil always watch it even if it’s half way through or near the end. They were both magnificent and deserved so much recognition. So excited to see what they do for Shogun 2 & 3. It was such a perfect show? it will be weird not having Yabushige and Mariko in it though.
I'm happy to see Japanese famous actor Mr.Sanada is regarded as a great actor as well as talented producer. This is greta honor for Japanese pepole and entertainment in Japan!
For those of you who are a fan of Sanada may i humbly suggest you watch TWILIGHT SAMURAI. It is a very different role for Sanada. Id say the opposite of Toranga
As a Japanese audience, I appreciated how they stopped comparing Hiroyuki Sanada to Tom Cruise. It showed respect, as Tom wasn't the first Samurai-Samurai originate from Japan. :)
@@jamalcollier7588 It wasn't planned as the show ends as per the book. But given how big a hit Shogun was, now the creators (and of course the studio) wants to make a season 2 with original plot lines.
I thought it would win Best Picture, Best Design, Best Sound, etc., but I honestly didn't think it would win so many awards, such as Best Actor and Best Actress, so I thought it was really amazing. Until now, English has been the main focus, and the focus has not been on the background of other countries, but this film has a high level of quality that even Japanese people can agree on, and it is a work that is created with respect for everything, including Japanese history, Japanese actors, buildings, the quality of the costumes, the Japanese language, the appropriate sound, and the scenery shown. From the opening video and music to the Japanese sand garden, the Hollywood video capture, music selection, and incorporation are mixed well, drawing you into the story. I feel that this achievement is possible only because of the excellent collaboration between Sanada-san, the executive producers, the Japanese cast and producers, and the Hollywood producers and cast, and I am truly grateful for the opportunity to spread Japan and Japanese entertainment to the world!!! Also, it's riding on the global trend of inclusion, so I think people all over the world are watching and supporting it. Furthermore, I'm happy that the entertainment world in Hollywood, which is starting to recognize this, has a bright future ahead of it! On the other hand, I think that countries and worlds that are still exclusive and disrespectful will not be able to achieve development, and will only have a future of defeat in everything. Lastly, I can't wait to see season 2 lol
Very proud of Anna Sawai as a New Zealand born actress. Loved her performance. Have also been a huge fan of Hiroyuki Sanada since his performance in The Last Samurai, also filmed in New Zealand. Would thoroughly recommend Shogun but take note that it is rated Mature Audience.
@@nataliep6385 I highly doubt your claim, if you know so much about about American television why did one of the Best tv series (Game of Thrones) season Finale end up Flopping?
We deserved, the show was amazing. I am so glad they won! Wish we could get a season 2 even though that is basically where the book left off. I would love to see Ishido's defeat.
So happy for them and so well deserved. But have to say, do not nk sleep on another great series set in Japan...Tokyo Vice. Has Ken Watanabe in it...both he and Sanada were in Last Samurai. Also, check out Sanada's singing and soap videos from the 80s..man deserves his accolades.
Many American's have a hard time not to see the rest of the world through a narrow American point of view. Recently, there is a cultural colonialism occurring especially from the far left. So, even racial politics, ideology, etc is imposed on places that had nothing to do with the Transatlantic Slave Trade, for example. Even that is distorted for a particular narrative. Even the idea that representation of Japanese is a big deal to Japanese when they have their own rich media, their own rich art forms. Japan doesn't need America for validation as Anna Sawai had to correct herself. I'm sure winning all the Emmys is nice, and the show and actors deserved every single one. I just find the constant need to make false comparison out of the need to connect everything to America is very tiresome to say the least. It already stated with people stating that "Shogun" is the Japanese Game of Thrones."
It's kinda "should be" than they "could do" that coz the book demands that much amount of effort from whoever was casted on. I've read the book more than 5 times cover to cover because it was that good of a book! But the extra emotions they added did merit that kind of recognition from the awards body.
Why is he Hiro Sanada being compared to Tom Cruise when they have different roles. If he should be compared with someone, it should be Ken Watanabe. They both played the Samurai Lords.
What slightly bothers me is how "Shogun" is pronounced in the US. In Japanese, it pronounces like "Show-goon" (not exactly, but it is as close as it gets). However, because of the spelling "gun (handgun)", 99% of Americans pronounce it "Show-gun."
'breaking glass ceilings'. Stupidity. Hiroyuki Sanada has been a staple in entertainment for decades. Why try to make it sound like it is a victory of the wokes...
Honestly, the show was hyped up for nothing. I expected way more from something getting that much media attention. Barely any action and the way they ended it was horrible.
@skatingcanuck9837 Aye that's u guys fault. Yall know how today is you gota watch that thing fresh or it's over! Shiiiit a week pass and you're done!..months!?!?! Forget about it.
These hosts are insufferable. How do these guys have a job? Shout out to the "Tom Cruise is the Hiro Sanada of America" comment to shutdown that disrespectful question
Just do better.. stop whining and complaining when you aren't as good. I know that's the new maga way and that's why you worship trump. but just try harder that's the american way. nothing is handed to you because you're white.
@@rich_b_groovin1790 Of course not. He had already left before the events of season 1. Please kindly check Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and Ieyasu. This drama is set in the era after Hideyoshi's death.
Too much politics with Sawai. All the god damn time. People don't care about the "glass ceiling". There's no big controversy here, we're in the US, the US aren't Japan, no white dude has won a Japanese Emmy so far and we aren't complaining. We just want good TV. And they delivered.
WTF?! Now that, is a stupid comment. You either have not idea what DEI is, or how it applies... either way you sound completely ignorant. Clearly you just wanted to make some type of racial dig. Do better.
3:11 "Are u the Tom Cruise of Japan?"
"Tom Cruise is the Hiro Sanada of America"
*That's how you counter a disrespect* 🙌🔥
Agreed! Somebody teach that lady that film and tv exist globally outside of Hollywood. 🤦🏻♀

I like both actors and think they're fantastic actors, however, Hiro is just on another level.
Been a fan of Sanada since Cruise’s “Samurai” movie. Now I’m a forever fan of Anna too. Well done
U Should also see some of his lesser known Roles such as:- Captain Kaneda in "Sunshine"; and Matsuda Umezaki in "Mr Holmes"......

If you want to see him at his best IMO watch Twilight Samurai. Very different from Toranaga

Me since Rush hour 3
I remember him since Ringu (1998), he played the dead beat Dad in the original version, before The Ring (2002) with Naomi Watts
Sanada is a disciple of Sunny Chiba.
I think he is proud of Sanada in heaven now.
I'm happy to see Japanese famous actor Mr.Sanada is regarded as a great actor as well as talented producer. This is greta honor for Japanese pepole and entertainment in Japan!
I love Japan and ShoGun! I love Anna Sawai! Respect from Romania!
My favorite show of the yearrrr
I did not expect that accent from Anna Sawaii lol She's such a good actress.
She lived in several countries before to Japan with her family.
My Japanese friends said Sawai speaks natural Japanese and couldn't imagine she speaks English,too.
こんな素敵な女性よく真田さん見つけましたね。おめでとうアンナ
a unicorn, one might say. ❤❤
Every single episode of this drama was a cliffhanger and every episode made my jaw drop lol
I can't wait for season 2!
There is no season 2

why make a season 2? The story is complete
Don’t compare sanada to tom both are great on their own…
Soooo many great tv series this year its fkn insane.
Great interview.
UPDATE NEWS FLASH: Shogun makes history at the 2024 Emmy Awards with 18 wins - CONGRATS!!
Anna Sawai Was Awesome in The Movie Shogun
They need to make a movie of it with Anna Sawai.
I Agree
Well deserved win. W shogun ❤

ok I guess I have to watch this show.. I'm a HUGE movie/tv series fanatic.
Please watch also the 1980's version.
Apparently not(fanatic), because this series was highly rated before the series completely aired.........🧐

The male host deflected the disrespect so quickly. He saved the female host with that awkward question.

yabushige FTW!
lol, intro for the next one is the Yasuke!
Don't see season 2 being any good without her in it. No where to go
I don't see any season 2 being any good unless by a miracle. Wanting to cash in is the worst possible reason to continue a story that's already over.
I agree, obviously because how big she is they're trying to bring her back with flashbacks or dreams but it won't be the same......
Sanada played so many samurais throughout his career. But this one showed his range and Tokugawa really was a cunning mf.
for japan the best place in the world
I feel like Mariko will make a return to s2, but as a flashback.
It's not the same, Khal Drogo returned to scenes in a dream and in memory but it's not the same because he is a Warrior!
I think he was thinking "wtf? I'm part not of a cult"
Why is he Hiro Sanada being compared to Tom Cruise when they have different roles. If he should be compared with someone, it should be Ken Watanabe. They both played the Samurai Lords.
Tom Cruise the Hiro Sanada of the US lol
Hiro Sanada does not NEED to be compared to Tom Cruze

You expected way more action?
I don’t think it was getting a lot of media attention for action
They should have not killed Mariko, atleast just injured her and come back on the second season. She was huge character as Toragana.
Please do not spoil shows for others who have not seen them.
