'Shōgun' Stars Hiroyuki Sanada & Anna Sawai Wore 7 Layers Of Authentic Japanese Costumes 

Hiroyuki Sanada one of the best actor here in Japan

Shogun is the best tv show right now LOVE IT

Shogun is a masterpiece. Sanadas is truly transcendent with the authority and charisma to reach out of the screen, and have me willing to walk off a cliff for him. However, Anna Sawai's portrayal of Mariko is not only the best acting I have seen all year, it’s some of the best acting I have ever seen. Building on one of the most incredible, strong, and complex characters ever put to paper, the show was able to elevate Mariko into new dimensions; the writers gave Mariko focus and stoicism, and Sawai gave her heart and raw, unbridled power. Not many people can believably play a one-person army able to topple an empire. What a lightning storm of a performance she gives in episode 9, and all throughout this series. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of an Emmy. Having read and loved the book, I found myself excited and yet apprehensive when I first heard about the new adaptation. Ultimately, I resigned myself to being thrilled if they don’t mess it up. By giving it the love and care the story needed, I had no idea they might actually outshine the book. Thank you both for making that happen. I have written this elsewhere on RU-vid so sorry for repeating but I think it needs to be recognized. Shogun is operating on a totally different level with production, writing, and especially acting setting new standards. Samara and Sawai each give performances strong enough to carry the entire series on their own, in a show that stands confidently by itself. And someone, please arrest Moeka Hoshi (Fuji) for stealing so many damn scenes and everyone’s heart.

I can't think of a bigger mismatch than having Tracy Morgan and Hiroyuki Sanada sitting next to each other. 😆

Hiroyuki Sanada & Anna Sawai both deserves all the Awards! Masterpiece Show 🩵

This interview is too short! There's so much more to know about this show and these actors. They're both brilliant.

Anna is so beautiful

Four minutes for the best show on TV?

Hiroyuki Sanada is an incredible actor, and a great Samurai.

This show deserves allll of the awards!

I have heard nothing but obsessive love for this show 👏🏼

Everyone had some stunning performances, Anna in particular, she has the makings of a superstar and I hope she wins an Emmy for her portrayal of Mariko. To anyone who still hasn’t started watching the show, do yourselves a favor and do it, the cinematography is great, the costume designs are stellar, the soundtrack is beautiful, the cast is incredibly talented, etc.

I've always loved Hiroyuki Sanada's performances. Every time he's part of the cast, I know it'll be a great.

Hiroyuki Sanada has such gravitas and presence as an actor. He mastered the screen and he deserves more roles in Hollywood!

I was soooo excited about this interview and it is sooooooo short 😭😭😭

Yes. Mr. Sanada is a great actor. I 've watch his movie since the earliest 80's. That time he was called Henry Sanada.

Watch it Kelly. Shogun is an amazing show.

One of the best shows ever and the most magnificent epic historical drama. Just brilliant in every single way. ❤

Shogun has been a great mini series and a breath of fresh air to watch something so different from the norm.

I don't want Shogun to end😢

I am so grateful that Hiroyuki Sanada persisted and finally made a truly Japanese show that is authentically Japanese. From the actors to the mannerisms and the costumes…I have waited my entire life to see my culture portrayed in this way. ❤❤❤

I'm Japanese. I never thought he would become so world famous.

Anna is so drop dead gorg!

I love Hiroyuki Sanada! He's such a great actor!!! Anna Sawai is really up and coming!

Love shogun.❤

Anna's outfit is stunning.

Ohh what a beautiful smile Mariko-Sama has

Shogun is the best show ❤❤❤ they deserve emmy awards every single one of them ❤❤❤

"we tried", sir in the eyes of me.. a unknown viewer from Holland sir.. you nailed it. Old Japanese is every way just as fantastic to hear as old Dutch. My favorite line delivered by Toronaga "Crimson sky".

The show was awesome. Glad I recorded it to watch it again

I love Hiroyuki❤

I started Shogun this week. Phenomenal!

Man just watched last episode, put it off for as long as I could b/c I knew after watching it I would feel Happy and Empty at the same time, and that is exactly how I feel at this moment in time.

Mr. Sanada is the Mifune of our time. Loved his work in every movie so far, but Shogun was outstanding. Couldn't have imagined a "better" Toranaga.

It's going to win a lot of Emmy's.

Tadanobu "Yabushige" Asano, rocked!

Shogun, I am left speechless by the production quality and acting on this TV series. Well done. Thank you Soooo much 🙏🏼❤️

Love these 2 and all the cast of shogun are amazing. And yes I knew anna former group faky but didnt notice she was in it

Shogun is the best show I've seen on tv since Breaking Bad

Anna Sakai owned that series.

Anna was so good in Shogun.

Shogun is original to James Clavell's novel Shogun. It was a TV series in 1980 starring Richard Chamberlin. I remember watching it when my husband was stationed in Japan. This one is so much more intense and majestic.

I love Hiroyuki since I was 10. That's 4 decades ago. 😂

The original Shogun with Richard Chamberlain was done in Japanese with absolutely minimal subtitles, because the directors wanted the audience to experience things as Blackthorn did....not understanding a lot of what was said...and then learning along the way. I love that they kept that same approach here.

Great Show !!!, Great Acting, Great Costumes, Great Cinematography

Every week goes so slow untill the new episode comes out, the newest one shocked me, every second of it is so captivating. Best performances for all of you!

誇らしいね。

just finish watching shogun. its like going back in the past. i love history and watching this show makes you know the culture and tradition of japan in 1600. how noble the samurai was and the most important lesson i get is when the gardener die because he took the rotting pheasant even if blackthorne warn them that whoever takes it will die. his warning to him bears no seriousness but to the japanese, its an iron clad rule because "our word give it a meaning".

Let's be honest, Hroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai are the strength of this series, the reason why the series is so successful, they simply hold the viewer's attention, each in their own way.

I love her!

Best show ever🇨🇦❤🇯🇵

This is truly an amazing just amazing show

Best show i have seen in my life

Watched the trailer. It was so GOOD 🙌🙌

将軍が米国で受け入れられとても嬉しく思います この様な時代劇 『Jidai-geki Movie』がこれからも米国で受け入れられる様があります様に

I love them so much but i want them to interview more of the supporting cast

Amazing show!

Started & finished the series in 2 days. Brilliant & captivating. Mr. Sanada and Anna elevate every scene

Thus is probably the best mini series I've seen in a long time. Love it ❤

This two persons arw the reason why i spend all day crying for one death !!!!!! MARIKO WHY !!!! SHOGUN THE BEST SERIES OF THE LAST FEW YEARS 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

11/10.

My god Anna 😍😍😍😍

I remember watching the Richard Chamberland 1980s version when I was 12 years old and this is by far the bests reboot possible , the cast the action is so amazing !

The show is amazing

I just realized that Hiroyuki Sanada was in the movie "Ninja in the dragon's den" which is one of my most memorable movies when I was a kid.

goddamn hiroyuki sanada is just samurai in real life

Anna Sawai is now on my crush list

I love Anna 😍😍😍😍

Hiroyuki Sanada will return as Scorpion 🦂🔥 in Mortal Kombat 2.

Amazing show. The drama, the costumes, culture and scenery beautiful wrap the politics.

I binged watched shogun it was amazing

Anna Sawai is such a beautiful lady

1:45 It existed in the 1600s. Breuckelen on the American continent was established in 1646, and the name first appeared in print in 1663. The name Brooklyn is derived from the original Dutch town of Breukelen.

Wow I am amazed to see the guests and also Tracy who I havent seen in a while but wow Kelly has lost some serious weight. Haven't seen the show for a long time, but amazing to see. Hope she is doing good and that it is her choice.

No mention of the fact that it's based on a James Clavell bestseller?

Only legends know how good Kelly Clarkson's music was ❤

Great show love it

If Tracy Morgan on the show, it would be Rush Hour - Shogun version

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 great job guys #Shogūn

Hiroyuki Sanada did a great job for create this increteble projekt "Shogun", big respect him and to all people how was and worked on this series👏 このシリーズのすべての参加者に敬意と敬意を表します👏

I also love the scorpion brown and yellow 😉 🦂

I think I’m in love with Anna 😍😍😍😍

Hiroyuki Sanada was Scorpion and I hope Anna Sawai cast as a Mortal Kombat character. For the Shirai Ryu 🔥🦂

OMGGGGG THIS CROSSOVER

花は散るから美しい

Shogun was masterfully done.

what a great show this is and how historically accurate it is, only thing that i could point out is that while the show is mostly spoken in Japanese, the English lines that are spoken are actually Portuguese since English was not a thing back then, for international audience sake it was better to be done like this, but now or then at least, some actual Portuguese lines or words should be said considering the fact that many actors reprising the role were actually Portuguese(ex: Joaquim de Almeida), nevertheless amazing show, mad props. Hiroyuki is a fucking Legend!!!

the Portuguese language in the series sounds a lot like English. very authentic.

😀 love this

Mariko Sama is the best role

hoping for season 2 pleaseeee...

Wonderfull acting

I love Sho Gun i first saw it in the eighties Richard chamberlain was the first Sho Gun i love this actor seem him in many movies i also read the book

lady mariko mvp

Sanada : That's me .. 😂😂

Shogun is amazing, my husband and I love it!!

Uma obra de arte.

Why's Cosmo exempted from all the recent interviews? He's also a main cast 😢

3:21 「EAST MEETS WEST」 It's also the title of a movie Hiroyuki Sanada starred in. This is an action movie about a samurai who goes to America and fights against gunmen.

i love you mariko
