Wait! You can't get away!
- This is the first time I've done this type of project. - Same here.
I made mistakes here and there.
When filming for commercials and stuff,
you have to be on the ball, so I was nervous the entire time.
My name is Fuka Yoshino.
I'll be 18 this year.
I'm from Kasai.
I first got into kickboxing
when I went and sat in on one my cousin's karate classes.
I thought it looked really cool, so I decided to take a martial art.
My career record as a boxer is 4 wins, 2 losses.
Most people think of kickboxing as a sport for men,
But, if a girl goes out there and fights,
I think people respond well and think she's cool.
At first she wasn't to get any wins despite trying really hard.
She was losing enough that I was worried she might get discouraged
and give up the sport.
But, after winning a certain match,
she started to improve very quickly.
If I had to describe Fuka in one word, it would be "effort."
She tries really hard at everything.
She's the type of girl who never backs down in her matches.
She won't back down from anybody.
She's really tough.
If I hit her during practice, she always hits me right back just as hard.
I don't really want my face to get messed up,
I know that it's comes with the territory when you're a fighter.
When I'm in school I like to have fun and goof around with my friends.
But, when I'm practicing martial arts my mindset changes.
I keep focused on my matches and work as hard as I can.
These are my standard gloves. I had my favorite fighters sign them.
I've been using them for over 4 years. They're pretty beat up.
I'm on summer break.
I don't have these normally.
I like to cook when I'm at home,
so I make sweets for my younger brother and sister.
I'm Saho Yoshino. I'm in my third year of middle school.
I'm Fuka's younger sister.
Fuka is completely different when she's at home.
She's just like any other girl.
She dresses really stylish.
She also cooks a lot.
People who saw the CC Lemon video told me I was incredible.
But I actually didn't do that many of the stunts, so I felt like I'd tricked everyone.
I'm Hikari Izumi.
I do parkour.
I'm Hana Yukihiro.
I also do parkour.
Only Fuka and Hikari appear as characters in the video,
but Hana actually did pretty much all the stunts.
They would switch Fuka out for me during all the action scenes.
It's all camera tricks.
They did a really good job of switching you guys.
When I saw the video I was like "Whoa!"
Yeah, it really looks like I'm doing everything.
It really does look like it's you out there.
Sorry everyone.
Good for you, eh?
I'm going to try a cartwheel flip.
This is where Fuka and I switch places.
There's some tables over there.
We can go from here over there.
It'll work. Awesome!
So Fuka ducks down,
and rolls...
When she ducks down,
I roll like this.
And then I come out from hiding down here and follow you.
I dropped it.
It fell pretty hard.
I hope it's okay.
I didn't tell any of my friends I was in the video.
One of them asked if that was me in the video, though.
I was surprised how many people around me had seen the video.
Everybody was like, "Hey, that's you!"
I didn't really do any of the stunts, but they still said it was awesome.
It was a bit embarrassing, but I was happy.
Here comes the switch.
This is Fuka,
And they switch us out here.
Then I run off and disappear.
- Lots of people asked how they shot this part. - Yeah, I got asked a lot, too.
- They asked if you really jumped. - I told them it was really high up.
I told them it was really high up even though I didn't actually do that jump.
I was cracking up here.
That's really cool.
You'd die if you tried that.
- This part hurt a lot. - Looks like it.
It ends without you taking a drink.
I aks if you want some.
It's a bit surreal.
- I didn't talk at all. - Me neither.
When I heard about a girl studying martial arts I thought she might be a bit crazy.
We started to eat, so I thought I should make some conversation.
Once I heard your Kansai accent, the conversation really took off.
It was easy to talk to you.
You want to go for ice cream?
I'm full, but I've always got room for ice cream.
Shooting the video was really fun.
I felt bad about doing tricks in front of the shrine,
so I thought maybe I'd stop and bow after the first flip.
My muscles were really sore the next day.
I spent two days running around the entire time.
I was exhausted.
We had to wake up really early, too.
We played paper rock scissors, too.
Yeah, to see who would have to wake up first.
- I won the second day. - Who won the first day?
- Did I lose? - Yeah.
- It was like one, two... - I was third because I was too slow.
I live in the countryside,
so it's my dream to move
become famous, and eventually when a title belt.
If I could combine kickboxing and parkour,
I could do even crazier stunts.
If someone who could do both was in a movie
they'd become a star for sure.
They'd be incredible.
If you could do both kickboxing and parkour, you'd be like a real ninja.
