Abstract

“Hyper Hard Boiled Gourmet Report” is a popular cult program that aired irregularly on TV Tokyo from 2017 to 2020. This is the first book by Ryohei Kamide, who created the program that became a hot topic with its “unprecedented'' content in which he ventures into dangerous areas with only his body and camera. A highly anticipated work that depicts the reality of the world that cannot be contained within the program through the images of people eating. It is a modern version of “People Who Eat Food'' (by Tsune Henmi), it is a gourmet book about gourmet food, it is a book about dark tourism that traces the land of tragedy, it is an introduction to the work techniques of those working in the media, and it is a book about the other side of danger. It is a vivid reportage, a story of encounters with people, and a new textbook for an era of division. Although this book was born out of a TV show, it is a must-read not only for fans of the show, but also for those who have never seen the show. The program is currently being distributed on U-NEXT.
