Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Yamashita reportedly insisted on doing his own underwater photography scenes despite not being able to swim well—method acting or hubris, you decide.
The 'House of Sea' restaurant concept reflects Japan's 2010s fascination with rural revitalization dramas, where Tokyo burnouts find 'authentic' life in coastal towns that actual locals are leaving.
