When you get your first taste of the smoked meat process, you never look back to the old ways. 🫡
For fifty eight years, my boss in Tokyo believed that beef should be sliced as thin as paper.
In Japan, we cook thin meat for four seconds in boiling broth. That is our way.
Then last month, the YouTube algorithm showed Director Sato a video of a man in Texas smoking a brisket.
It changed his life.
On Monday morning, he called me to his desk. His eyes were bloodshot.
"Have you seen this?" he whispered, turning his monitor toward me. "The American pitmaster does not sleep for sixteen hours. He sits by the fire in the dark. He guards the meat like a castle."
I said, "Sir, it is just a barbecue."
He slammed his hand on the desk.
"This is not cooking," he said. "This is a vigil."
Last Saturday was our annual company picnic by the river in Kanagawa. Normally, we grill thin meat and yakisoba for two hours and go home at 2:00 PM.
I arrived at 9:30 AM to help set up.
Director Sato was already there.
I want to be accurate here: he had been sitting in a folding chair since 10:00 PM on Friday night. He was wearing a towel around his head and staring at a massive black barrel smoker he had imported from Oklahoma.
Inside I said: THIS MAN HAS ABANDONED CORPORATE LIFE FOR THE SMOKE.
When we tried to help him, he held up a pair of metal tongs and clicked them twice.
"Step back," he said calmly. "The stall has begun. Nobody opens the lid."
Twelve Japanese accountants stood in complete silence around a barrel for four more hours. Nobody dared to eat a single noodle until he gave the signal.
At 1:45 PM, he sliced the meat. It fell apart on the cutting board.
My boss looked at the pink smoke ring, nodded once, and wiped a single tear from his cheek.
He has already submitted an official budget request for a trailer smoker for next fiscal year.

PSA to all new wrestlers that need to hear it:
If you’ve graduated your training program and your school will not allow you to take bookings outside their system with other companies then you should look into leaving that school.

With the release of the new trailer, I have something I would like to share with you.
Last week, we lost our Assistant Producer, Parisi Giuseppe, after his battle with cancer. He was one of my closest collaborators and a dear friend.
The idea of “reality” as a key theme for VFCR was born from brainstorming sessions we had together in the early days of the project, before he had officially joined the team.
Around that time, I learned that he was living with illness.
Even so, I wanted to make this project with him. He shared that feeling, and joined the team.
He told me that, while working, he wanted to be able to forget about his illness. True to his word, he dedicated himself to the project with unwavering determination and passion until the very end.
He was a huge fan of Virtua Fighter and SEGA—and a devoted Pai player.
He held deep respect for Japanese studios and their work, while bringing a perspective from abroad that no one else could have brought to the team. He was truly irreplaceable.
We discussed and chose the names of the new characters together. Lionel, too, is a character we shaped together.
His loss is immeasurable.
The passion he brought to VFCR, and everything he left with us, will continue to live on in this project.
It may take us a little time before we are able to share our next update.
We would be grateful for your patience and for continuing to watch over the project.
