Worth noting that Sanada not only put in an excellent performance as Torunaga, he also did double duty as a producer as well. A hard working actor to say the least.
For anybody that doesn't know this guy is soon to be one of the Living Legends of the modern Japanese television era. Right up there with Takeshi Kitano!
@@bsmeaker I was always a huge fan of his, but noticed that his sword technique was really good once I started training in Iaido. That's when I found out that he's the real deal. When he showed up in West World, I practically leapt out of my chair.
Love it. Actors putting their own stakes behind the productions they want to get made. I don't think I've ever seen Hiroyuki Sanada in anything I've disliked and if he's going out of his way to make sure that not only good shows are casting him but even getting greenlit in the first place, then he deserves his success all the more.
Most countries are bilingual and well versed in English, especially Japanese citizens. Except in outlying territories. My dad was there and China after WWII and was surprised then and my cousin lived there in the 2000's when he played on their professional baseball teams. He learned Japanese even though the players spoke English just because he didn't want to be the "ignorant American" He was already an anomaly, not because he was an American but because he is 6'7" and a pitcher. They don't see many people on a sports team, let alone anywhere, THAT tall. It's a beautiful country. Our oldest and daughter in love were there for 2 weeks and want to go back.
@@heideleskun1163Do not misunderstand me, you are correct, I think though I understand what the OP is saying. Being able to speak fluently and being able to master the language on the fly are two different things. Not just Sanada but any of the Skarsgards, Mads Mickleson, Jackie Chan or even Van Damme they all can speak and converse in English well, but to come across confident and charismatic has to be a difficult skill to master. I have heard that comedians have difficulty performing in other countries that speak the same language because cultures are different, references are different, phrases are different. It must be difficult but he nailed it.
@@jasonflay8818 Yes, comedy just plays different. I've met a lot of folks who can go back and forth in languages. My daughters ex fiancee did it with Spanish, Romanian and English. The hardest part of English is learning one word multiple definitions. My Aunts and Uncles on my mothers side could go back and forth easily with Polish and English. So I understand the message just pointing out how other countries can jump back and forth easier than those born here learning another language. Than there's me who can't even swear properly growing up with dual languages spoken in the house. Sad when you can't even swear properly in Polish. lol
@@heideleskun1163 I've always been jealous of polymaths. We had a foreign exchange student when I was a kid. Toffee is Finnish, at the time he could speak fluently 5 languages could understand one more and was learning another. He was APPALLED that by the time I was in 9th grade I wasn't at a conversational level Spanish despite starting in 5th grade, and at that point I had already had 6 teachers. I'm trying to learn Italian right now using an App, but I don't ever think I will get to the level I could give an interview that wasn't stiff in Italian.
He was my favourite secondary character among all the John Wick movies. I hated that his role had to end. John Wick hasn't done flashbacks to his assassin's life, so I'm hoping the next film could show John's and Koji's teamwork from the past. But then Hiroyuki is 63 years old and pretty involved with Shogun.
Just wanted to say my deep appreciation to Stephen Colbert for correctly pronouncing all these Japanese names and terms. It's not easy to pronounce and he nailed it, great interviewer.
He geeked out hard for Dune interviews. But I like how he respects and researches background details before going in. Rather than asking stupid ass questions like the Jimmies do.
Colbert speaks the Elvish language invented by Tolkien for the Lord of the Rings universe. The vowels are similar to Japanese ones, which may be why he handled the terms so well.
Me tuuuuu!! I grew up in Japan, he was like Brad Pitt of Japanese 90’s. I remember when he announced his marriage, all the aunties cried😂 was a huge deal. It’s awesome to see ppl I grew up with being celebrated in the US🧡
Shit yeah that was a great movie. "Will you tell me how he died?" "I will tell you how he LIVED." That line puts a chill down my spine to this very day. In a good way. Makes me think of my own Grandpa.
I am Japanese .When I was in junior high school, I remember him leaving Japan to go to Hollywood. I am sure he practice his English so hard including his pronunciation. It is usually difficult to master English especially for an adult, but I am so amazed how great his English is! I am so proud of him!!
@@2yoyoyo1Unpluggedexcuse to be stranger to you but i would say keep swimming in it, once you hit some point you'll be able to see the result of what you've made Cheers for your solid efforts!
But Hiro regrets leaving the UK and Royal Shakespeare Company in London, alongside Sir Kenneth Branagh and Sir Nigel Hawthorne in the RSC's production of King Lear... They wanted him to stay in England in the Theatre!... Sanada acted in Theatres, he hates commercial films etc... Besides that, he is an extraordinary classical dancer and singer!... He is so underrated in the USA!
Japanese society is so beyond ours in politeness, cleanliness, respectful behavior, organization. This man is very powerful in his elegant communication in a foreign language. Very impressive.
100% Same for most of the far east. Look at physical 100 for example, south korean show. Competing fiercly against one another but the respect they show is something else. Watch them do an american one and see the contrast.
But they also have the highest suicide rate alongside south korea (from all OECD nations) cause behind all this politeness and the respect in east asia is alot of emptyness and fakeness. Bullying is crazy there too.
As Japanese I'm so proud of him, Sanada-san, but I'm so thankful for the way Stephen Colbert was talking to him. He was showing some respects towards Sanada-san. Thank you, Mr. Colbert!
The great majority of television is childish crap. Shogun was impeccable, intelligent, dignified, and powerful, and the rare experience of rewarding commercial television. And this man had a lot to do with that fact.
Having enjoyed the original Shogun series back in the 80s as a kid, I was happily surprised to find that for once a remake is better than the original.
This is why Colbert is easily my favorite host. He deeply respects his guests and their culture. I remember how he showed such respect and genuine interest in what Marie Kondo does as far as tidying and the spirit behind it while other talk show hosts joked about it.
He is a thoughtful man. Like his mentor Dick Cavett. And if you know what happened to his father and brothers, that would make you question life. But he found the love of his life. Evie Colbert!
As a Japanese having lived abroad, I know how hard it is to work amongst locals whilst acquiring both culture & language. He nailed both! Not only that, he brought our culture to the US and represented the history in a correct form❤ Thank you very much, and respect for his long-term effort 🇯🇵 Not easy for an adult to learn a second language!
god BLESS this man!, Mr. Hiroyuki Sanada! I remember him from so many other actor jobs he's had over the decades, ALL in which he was 100% brilliant! & it's so overdue that he gets recognized for his thespian genius!! wtg, sir!! & looking forward to more, we LOVE YOU!!🙋🏾♀🙋🏿♀📿
Stephen Colbert is so sincere I just felt it through the screen. He also asks the questions viewers like me want to know. ❤ and congrats to Hiroyuki Sanada well-deserved! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤
Sanada-san’s insistence as producer that Shogun be as authentically and realistically produced made all the difference. Every little attention to detail made it look and feel authentic in every way. Can’t wait to see what they cook next.
Americans are enchanted by the self-discipline and empathy Japanese culture imbues in its citizens. That reserve and thoughtfulness is captivating, and something we might emulate individually. Notice the physical distance and grace of Sanada-san and Stephen in their respectful first greeting: no pretense! Simple, profound respect.
To hear the actors say their lines in Japanese was beautiful and gave weight to their performances. Especially the poetry, which can sometimes lose effect in translation.
I fell in love with Sanada-sama when I was a kid and had a chance to see him back when he was part of the Japan Action Club, and often starring alongside Shinichi Chiba. Kage no Gundan III, Makai Tensho, Ninja Bugeicho: Momochi Sandayu, Ninja in Dragon's Den, etc. I am so happy to see that his talent has made its way over to North America and is getting the recognition that it deserves. A real legend!!
@2:48 Well, as Bong Joon Ho once said in his acceptance speech at the Oscars: "Once you overcome the 1-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films." In other words, I'm just glad that many westerners (i.e. Americans) have learned to get over the laziness of reading text while watching not just films but TV series as well.
I read Shogun when the book came out. By the time I finished it, I had caught the flu and ran a very high fever, which seemed to cause me to hallucinate because in the middle of the night, I found myself in the middle of the living-room arguing with Lord Toranaga I never forgot the name. LOL Still one of my favorite books to this day.
Last year I bicycled japan during autumn 🍁🍂. From Kyoto to Tokyo I passed thru Sekigahara. After returning home & watching _Shogun_ I wanted to kick myself for not knowing that I had passed the battlefield where Tokugawa won his pivotal war.
can't believe i'm seeing Sanada on tv, always remembered him as Ryuji from Ring, he's one of the coolest japanese actors, I'm glad he made it into the mainstream in the west.
I am so happy that Sanada san, one of Japan's most talented actors, is becoming known abroad in this way! I am so glad that your hard work is being rewarded! I wish him continued success in the future!
The Twilight Samurai is one of my favourite movies. I’ve seen it so many times I don’t need the subtitles to understand the dialogue anymore. It’s about time Sanada got the respect he deserves internationally and from the establishment.
Congratulations to the Shogun. I also commend the US production team for their cooperation in successfully creating a work that expresses Japanese history and culture in a pure form. It's an old story, but production is a new era.
He played Toranaga so well. He really commands the screen even just his expressions give the sense of an intelligent and thoughtful leader. I read the book before watching the TV show because I can never go back to books after having seen the show or movies first. But I was blown away by his performance.
He was super popular from the first day he came out of the movie in Japan. He was one of a kind action star who knows how to use Katana. I'm so proud and super happy for him!
This is just a delightful interview with Hiroyuki-sama! I am so happy that he is still amazed how well Shogun was received by the viewing audience and that he is stunned that he personally earned a nomination as well as many nominations for the series! He is so eloquent and has a great sense of humor. It is evident that he is highly intelligent and so cerebral in his thinking. I love how he mentioned that Ieyasu was a good hero that we need - now! So true!!! He is a scene-stealer whenever he steps into a scene. Love everything he has done and wish him nothing but the best in his next chapter of his stellar career💖💞💝!!!
I love love love Sanada. Shogun is a masterpiece and I declared from episode 1 that they deserve to win every award there is. Impeccable work Shogun was. I've rewatched the entire season 3 times already.
I’m really proud of him as a Japanese. I think he had a lot of hard experiences like differences of the language, environment and culture and so on for long time. But finally his effort made success in the world. He makes Japanese including me so cheerful🎉
You can tell he's a genuinely humble and grateful person. Him and Jackie Chan both embody the modest personality that I respect so much. It's cute how in the beginning he still sits like a samurai. I wonder how it must feel to play such strong characters and keeping it apart from who you are in life. Awesome man. Thanks for the post!
That would be really cool but there are way too many crybabies out there that will ruin all the fun with that especially like what they did with the acolyte
I am a Japanese who moved to France at the age of 20 and I know how painful it is for Japanese people to learn English from the age of 40. Japanese grammar is too different from other Western languages. Mr Sanada is a harder worker than most people and has achieved great feats of cultural transmission. Moreover, he is a beautiful man whose character is humble, gentle and elegant.
I am an over 40 year old Filipino who is learning Japanese/Nihonggo because I just love your language. It is true that it is difficult because your language, the Japanese language, does not follow the typical subject-verb agreement arrangement that most western English speaking countries follow. Learning Kanji is also very challenging but will be very worth it when I am fully learned, fluent and immersed in it.
@@mariechristinemarie-6230 Merci ! Lorsque j'étais enfant, il était déjà un grand star au Japon, mais j'ignorais jusqu'à présent qu'il possédait de nombreuses qualifications en danse traditionnelle japonaise, en karaté et en kendo, et qu'il savait également jouer au piano. Il est vraiment trop humble ! De plus, il est connu pour être toujours égal et gentil avec tout le personnel, y compris les stagiaires. C'est une qualité ultra rare chez un grand star au Japon.

Shōgun needed to be in Japanese and I am glad they did it that way. Masterful.
To hear the actors say their lines in Japanese was beautiful and gave weight to their performances.
Especially the poetry, which can sometimes lose effect in translation.
Hiroyuki is one of my very favorite actors...English or his native Japanese, he takes command. I cannot wait to see Shogun.
i fell in love with that man the moment i saw him in the last samurai, he is just awesome!
真田さん、ずっと素敵な俳優さんですよね！
高校教師の時も凄かったし、その前からこれからも。LOSTも出てましたよね。
本当に素敵です。
40の手習いで始めた英語でハリウッドに乗り込んだ‥と日本でのプレミアで話されていましたね。素晴らしいバイタリティーの持ち主だと思いました。
発音がとてもきれいですよね。嫌味がないしナチュラルな感じが好きです。
作品賞、デザイン賞、音響賞などは取ると思っていましたが、主演男優、女優賞などこんなにもたくさんの賞獲得されるとは正直おもっていなかったので、本当にすごいなと感じました。
今までは、英語が一番、他の国の背景等にはフォーカスしていなかった中、今までになかった日本の歴史、日本の俳優人達、建物、衣装のクオリティ、日本語、見合った音響の取り入れ方、映している情景などすべてにおいてリスペクトが入っているからこその作品のクリエーションなのだと日本人側からみても納得のいくハイクオリティに作品になっていると思いました。
オープニングの映像と音楽から日本の砂庭などと、ハリウッドの映像の取り方、音楽のセレクション、取り入れ方がいい具合にミックスしていて、物語へ引き込ませてくれます。
真田さん、エグゼクティブプロデューサーの方々、はじめ、日本のキャストや制作人、とハリウッドの制作人、キャストなどがとてもいい具合でコラボレーションできているからこその快挙なのだなと実感と、日本と日本のエンタメの普及を世界に広げるチャンスを作ってくださってほんとに感謝でしかありません！！！
また、インクルーシブの世界の風潮にもちょうど乗っかっているのもあってこれだけ世界の人たちもみていて推しているのかなと思っています。更に、それをみとめられるようになってきたハリウッドのエンタメ界もホントに明るい未来が続いているのだなと嬉しくおもいます！！逆に未だにイクスクルーシブ、ディスリスペクトの国や世界では発展は成し遂げられない、すべてにおいて敗退していく未来しかないなとおもいました。最後に、早くシーズン２が見たいです笑
英語版、日本語字幕で見た時びっくりした。間違えてる？って。親日俳優がいる中でもとんでもジャパニーズが使われてたはずなのに、日本語メインでやって賞をとった彼はとんでもない日本人だよ
I fell in love with Sanada-sama when I was a kid and had a chance to see him back when he was part of the Japan Action Club, and often starring alongside Shinichi Chiba. Kage no Gundan III, Makai Tensho, Ninja Bugeicho: Momochi Sandayu, Ninja in Dragon's Den, etc. I am so happy to see that his talent has made its way over to North America and is getting the recognition that it deserves. A real legend!!
My favorite Japanese actor. He is amazing.
It’s been a long journey for Sanada.
He finally achieved what he was aiming in USA.
He will go far and beyond ❤
Congratulations!!
真田さん素敵すぎます。
尊敬しかありません。
One of my favourite actors, such unbelievable range and dedication to his roles
Incredible actor. Epic series.
😭😭😭真田さんおめでとうございます、長年の努力を思うと泣けてくる😭
@2:48 Well, as Bong Joon Ho once said in his acceptance speech at the Oscars: "Once you overcome the 1-inch tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films." In other words, I'm just glad that many westerners (i.e. Americans) have learned to get over the laziness of reading text while watching not just films but TV series as well.
A brilliant actor and producer. Loving see talent rise to the top!
痺れるほどかっこいいです！！ We are proud of him🎉❤🇯🇵
One of the best actors in the world. I remember him in 'Twilight Samurai', one of the best acting performances I'd seen.
Congrats Sanada for winning best actor!
I read Shogun when the book came out. By the time I finished it, I had caught the flu and ran a very high fever, which seemed to cause me to hallucinate because in the middle of the night, I found myself in the middle of the living-room arguing with Lord Toranaga I never forgot the name. LOL Still one of my favorite books to this day.
Last year I bicycled japan during autumn 🍁🍂. From Kyoto
to Tokyo I passed thru Sekigahara. After returning home &
watching _Shogun_ I wanted to kick myself for not knowing that I
had passed the battlefield where Tokugawa won his pivotal war.
The Japanese dialogue was just delicious. The old way of speaking and all the double entendre’s and subterfuge was so great to see in proper Japanese.
can't believe i'm seeing Sanada on tv, always remembered him as Ryuji from Ring, he's one of the coolest japanese actors, I'm glad he made it into the mainstream in the west.
Hiroyuki Sanada is a living legend.
And not that old. Like, maybe early fifties...?
@@michaelrmurphy2734 He is 63 years old. I think most Japanese look younger.
One of the greatest actors of the Moment. His performance in Shogun was amazing. And a great martial artist too
I am so happy that Sanada san, one of Japan's most talented actors, is becoming known abroad in this way!
I am so glad that your hard work is being rewarded!
I wish him continued success in the future!
I’m so proud of him, Hiroyuki Sanada as one of Japanese. He is still humble in this show even though he is one of the famous actors in US. Amazing 😊
Such an elegant and well mannered man. So humble constantly thanking and bowing to the audiences
He was absolutely brilliant in The Last Samurai.
I loved him kicking Tom Cruise's butt in the fight scene in the rain. I nearly cheered in the theater! (Can't stand Tom Cruise🤢🤮)
He was an incredibly commanding presence on screen, great actor!
The Twilight Samurai is one of my favourite movies. I’ve seen it so many times I don’t need the subtitles to understand the dialogue anymore. It’s about time Sanada got the respect he deserves internationally and from the establishment.
YES! Tasogare Seibe is the best!
彼は日本人の中でも本当の日本人です。素晴らしい人物です。心から尊敬します。🇯🇵の文化や精神を正しく紹介してくれてありがとうございます🙏
Congratulations to the Shogun. I also commend the US production team for their cooperation in successfully creating a work that expresses Japanese history and culture in a pure form. It's an old story, but production is a new era.
The presence, the humility, the talent. Remarkable actor
The production quality of Shōgun is simply top notch, I have no doubt the second season will be just as detailed and fascinating.
He played Toranaga so well. He really commands the screen even just his expressions give the sense of an intelligent and thoughtful leader. I read the book before watching the TV show because I can never go back to books after having seen the show or movies first. But I was blown away by his performance.
He deserves all the recognition and more. So excited for him and all the awards Shōgun will win this season. 👏
One of my favorite actor. he steals the show every time he comes out lol
He was super popular from the first day he came out of the movie in Japan. He was one of a kind action star who knows how to use Katana. I'm so proud and super happy for him!
This is just a delightful interview with Hiroyuki-sama! I am so happy that he is still amazed how well Shogun was received by the viewing audience and that he is stunned that he personally earned a nomination as well as many nominations for the series! He is so eloquent and has a great sense of humor. It is evident that he is highly intelligent and so cerebral in his thinking. I love how he mentioned that Ieyasu was a good hero that we need - now! So true!!! He is a scene-stealer whenever he steps into a scene. Love everything he has done and wish him nothing but the best in his next chapter of his stellar career💖💞💝!!!
I love love love Sanada. Shogun is a masterpiece and I declared from episode 1 that they deserve to win every award there is. Impeccable work Shogun was. I've rewatched the entire season 3 times already.
I’m really proud of him as a Japanese.
I think he had a lot of hard experiences like differences of the language, environment and culture and so on for long time.
But finally his effort made success in the world.
He makes Japanese including me so cheerful🎉
大雑把な英語にならず、真田さんらしい丁寧でありながらも我々日本人が聞いても全て理解出来る分かりやすい英語で受け応えされておられるところに、より一層の好感が増しました。(事前のリハがあったとしても...)
ハリウッド映画俳優として益々のご活躍を日本からお祈りしております。
日本の歴史を正しく捉え、見事なドラマとして見せてくれた真田広之さんに敬意を評します。妥協する事なく、やり通した。
Love, love, love Sanada!!
凄い！30年以上前に
彼と日本のスタジオでご一緒した事ありますが、
ここまで大物になるとは！
英語でインタビューも受けてこの番組に！
日本の誇りです！
You can tell he's a genuinely humble and grateful person. Him and Jackie Chan both embody the modest personality that I respect so much. It's cute how in the beginning he still sits like a samurai. I wonder how it must feel to play such strong characters and keeping it apart from who you are in life. Awesome man. Thanks for the post!
Disney should really cast him as a Jedi master in future life action Star Wars movie
Yes he would be perfect.
@@katprowler6805 Why?
That would be really cool but there are way too many crybabies out there that will ruin all the fun with that especially like what they did with the acolyte
I am a Japanese who moved to France at the age of 20 and I know how painful it is for Japanese people to learn English from the age of 40. Japanese grammar is too different from other Western languages. Mr Sanada is a harder worker than most people and has achieved great feats of cultural transmission. Moreover, he is a beautiful man whose character is humble, gentle and elegant.
OUI HOMME ACHARNE AU TRAVAIL QUE Hiroyuki Sanada !
I am an over 40 year old Filipino who is learning Japanese/Nihonggo because I just love your language. It is true that it is difficult because your language, the Japanese language, does not follow the typical subject-verb agreement arrangement that most western English speaking countries follow. Learning Kanji is also very challenging but will be very worth it when I am fully learned, fluent and immersed in it.
@@mariechristinemarie-6230 Merci ! Lorsque j'étais enfant, il était déjà un grand star au Japon, mais j'ignorais jusqu'à présent qu'il possédait de nombreuses qualifications en danse traditionnelle japonaise, en karaté et en kendo, et qu'il savait également jouer au piano. Il est vraiment trop humble ! De plus, il est connu pour être toujours égal et gentil avec tout le personnel, y compris les stagiaires. C'est une qualité ultra rare chez un grand star au Japon.
@@KaraDeniseDupio I really respect foreigners who learn kanji as adults. I thought that kanji had to be learnt as a child to be mastered. You are a hard worker too ! すごいです。頑張って下さいね。
@@mm-wo1ii les japonais les plus doués et sages sont souvent les plus humbles .Il suffit de les observer pour comprendre derrière leur costume qui ils sont vraiment.
This man is a legend!!!! Protect him at all costs!!!
