00:00Interviewer Hayashi Osamu is in trouble again.
00:06The big star who was away from the world of TV has finally come.
00:13Showa Heisei Reiwa.
00:15The first female artist to win the first place on the Oricon chart in all three eras.
00:22Her charisma is...
00:25Hello. Nice to meet you.
00:28Nice to meet you, too.
00:30Nice to meet you, too.
00:33I'm nervous.
00:34Are you?
00:36You rarely appear on TV, right?
00:38That's right. I was away from the world of TV.
00:41That's true.
00:42What made you decide to appear on this show?
00:47I was so eager to be on this show.
00:52The staff did their best.
00:54And Hayashi-sensei never asked me anything weird.
01:00A singer-songwriter who creates great songs one after another and is loved beyond time.
01:05Maria Takeuchi.
01:08Life isn't as bad as you think it is.
01:19The song she released 37 years ago, Genki wo Dashite, is now used in commercials.
01:28Christmas came again this year.
01:31I love this song.
01:34It's a wonderful holiday song that tells you about the arrival of Christmas season.
01:45Even if you stop fighting, the hit song Maria Takeuchi created is loved beyond time.
01:54And...
02:03The song of life, which was performed at the 2019 Kouhaku Uta Gassen, was also published in the Doutoku textbook and is now the standard of school chorus songs.
02:17And the song that was released 40 years ago, which is now Reiwa, is a big hit among young people all over the world.
02:25That is...
02:33Plastic Love
02:37Plastic Love, which has become the subject of the city pop boom in recent years.
02:43I love this song.
02:46Plastic Love is now the most popular song overseas.
02:53It's a really strange phenomenon.
02:56I don't know why that 40-year-old song was picked up by people overseas.
03:02I don't know where and how that movement started.
03:07I often analyze it with Tatsuro Yamashita, but there is no answer.
03:12In that era, we were aiming for Western music, and we were doing that kind of music.
03:2040 years later, the people of the real Western music listen to it and think it's good.
03:26Maybe it's the versatility there.
03:30And it's not machine play, it's the goodness of human play.
03:35I wonder if they feel that groove.
03:40But it's a very grateful phenomenon.
03:42Recently, I've been getting a lot of fan letters from young people overseas.
03:55This song is also supported by young artists.
03:5916-year-old Hein from New Jeans sings live.
04:03I enjoyed it. That's all right.
04:08It is known that the leaders of new schools and Fujii Kaze covered this song before their debut.
04:22In addition, in the Oricon Weekly Single Ranking, the phenomenon of delay in which the record version ranks 5th in the Reiwa era.
04:33In addition, young Japanese artists are being sung in a reverse way overseas.
04:40I'm glad about that, too.
04:42A few years before Fujii Kaze's debut, I found a YouTube channel where he was singing this song on his piano at home.
04:53I felt a great talent that there was someone who sang my song so cool.
04:59So I went to the record company and said,
05:02It would be better to sign a contract with him.
05:08About two years later, when I saw that he had made his debut at another record company,
05:14Maybe the story had already been decided.
05:19In fact, behind the birth of this masterpiece,
05:24The existence of his husband, Tatsuro Yamashita, was closely related.
05:30I thought I'd write a 16-beat danceable song that I don't have much of.
05:36I thought I'd write a song like the loneliness of the city.
05:41I thought I'd write a song that would surprise Tatsuro Yamashita.
05:45So I wrote a song that Tatsuro Yamashita would sing.
05:53He arranged it in a very good way.
05:58I think the power of that arrangement is also great.
06:01No matter what kind of song you write,
06:04If Tatsuro Yamashita arranges it, it will become a pop song.
06:07That's a relief.
06:09It won't be a pop song.
06:12Tatsuro Yamashita.
06:15I can say Tatsuro Yamashita.
06:18He has a much more advantageous position than other artists.
06:22He's a very strong couple.
06:24Even though we're in the same business, he's my arranger and producer.
06:28I compose and write my own songs.
06:32If I cook it like this and ask him to finish it with this kind of song,
06:38he'll do it for me.
06:41I'm grateful for that.
06:43Have you ever had a fight with Tatsuro Yamashita?
06:46I thought there was a kind of compatibility that doesn't lead to a fight.
06:50It's not about making an effort to not get into a fight with that person.
06:56Maybe...
06:58I can only say it's a compatibility.
07:02We have a lot of discussions.
07:05We have a lot of arguments and discussions.
07:08We talk about it rhythmically.
07:11We agree on what we think and what we don't agree on.
07:15But we both agree on what we think and what we don't agree on.
07:20I see.
07:21I think we don't like to fight.
07:25We like peace.
07:27So you don't need to sing a song like,
07:31He's good.
07:34He's good at everything.
07:37He's a smash hit.
07:39I don't want that kind of thing.
07:41Whether I buy a dog or not,
07:43I think the biggest fight was when we got married.
07:48But I think that was the last time.
07:50So Tatsuro was against it?
07:52He was against it.
07:54But he bought it because he thought I'd take care of it.
07:58I gave birth, so Tatsuro is in charge of taking care of the baby.
08:03Tatsuro is in charge of taking care of the baby.
08:07By the way, Hayashi-san, how is your relationship with your wife?
08:10I don't know.
08:12I have to get used to it.
08:14You have to get used to it.
08:15It's not over yet.
08:18I see.
08:19It's a very tough situation.
08:22I'm very interested.
08:26Tatsuro Yamashita, a husband and the most respected musician,
08:31arranged Maria Takeuchi's song.
08:36They are the strongest couple in the music world.
08:40In fact, they are a very big couple.
08:43They are very close with Kuwata Fusai of Southern All-Stars.
08:48They are close.
08:50Have you ever recorded with Kuwata Fusai of Southern All-Stars?
08:54Yes, I have.
08:55Kei-chan and Yuko-chan came to my wedding.
08:58It was a cosmetic tag match.
09:00They are the strongest musician couple.
09:03Southern All-Stars is the same generation as me.
09:06We often met at the TV studio or at a music festival in the summer.
09:12We became very close.
09:14I think we also had a silver wedding party when I was 25 years old.
09:20Kei-chan and Yuko-chan exchanged messages on LINE.
09:24We became very close.
09:26When I heard their voices,
09:29I felt like I became more human.
09:35Kei-chan's voice and Yuko-chan's voice overlapped.
09:39So that chorus was really precious.
09:43In addition, this happened in private.
09:48I wasn't there.
09:50But at a family gathering,
09:53a music teacher showed me and Kuwata Fusai.
09:58I went up to the stage and sang a song for children.
10:05That teacher is brave.
10:07I asked him what kind of song it was.
10:10He said,
10:11It's like a child's song.
10:16Kei-chan and I sang that song.
10:19I'd like to talk to the teacher who chose them.
10:26Tonight,
10:27a valuable talk is completed.
10:30Takeuchi Maria, who rarely appears on TV, is excited.
10:35I'm going to blow away my fatigue with foot bath.
10:39I'm going back to China.
10:45Takeuchi Maria's foot bath.
10:49In addition,
10:50Actually, this time,
10:52I'm going to meet someone I want to meet.
10:58Really?
11:02I'm glad to be on this show.
11:05What happened?
11:08I'm worried if I can show you this much.
11:1160 minutes filled with Takeuchi Maria.
11:17First of all,
11:18The birth of a masterpiece that continues to be loved beyond time.
11:21Osamu Ayashi is approaching.
11:24In this corner,
11:25According to the image of the guest,
11:27I asked Masaru Akai, a musician, to design this flower.
11:32This time it's eucalyptus.
11:34For me, the flower language is eternal happiness.
11:37I expressed the strong message of Takeuchi Maria in this eucalyptus.
11:42Thank you very much.
11:44Eternal happiness.
11:45That's it, isn't it?
11:46Because I like Koala.
11:52Takeuchi Maria is also a hit maker that creates numerous masterpieces.
11:58Takeuchi Maria is a famous singer.
12:01The artist who has provided songs so far is...
12:05The star baka who represents that era.
12:12Among Takeuchi Maria's songs,
12:14The song that is sung the most in karaoke is...
12:28The song that was released in 1962.
12:32Actually, this song.
12:50Originally, the song was written for Akina Nakamori.
12:58Akina Nakamori's song
13:01First of all, Eki.
13:03What kind of song is this for you?
13:06If I were to write Eki for Akina,
13:09I want to make it a sad story with a melody full of sorrow.
13:17In order to enhance that image,
13:21I put photos of Akina's artists and jackets on the dining table.
13:28I've been thinking about it for a long time.
13:31I met my ex-lover at the station.
13:35But we parted.
13:38I had a story that he didn't notice.
13:41I made it into a story like writing a novel.
13:46I have such a memory.
13:48Did you have a specific image of the station?
13:51For me, it's the old Toyoko Line.
13:54I used to go to the ticket gate of Shibuya Station.
13:58I used to go to the ticket gate of Shibuya Station.
14:02I used to go to the ticket gate of Shibuya Station.
14:06I think that's the image.
14:08I think that's the image.
14:09Personally, I think Hankyu Umeda Station is close to that atmosphere.
14:14I'm not sure about Hankyu Umeda Station.
14:17I'm sorry, Takeuchi-san.
14:19I'm talking about Hankyu Umeda Station.
14:22This famous song, Station.
14:25Actually, it's a love song for Hayashi Osamu, who was a student at that time.
14:30Hayashi Osamu's love song?
14:32Personally, when I heard this poem for the first time,
14:36I was a little surprised.
14:39What do you mean?
14:41Even now, when I think about whether I like you or not,
14:45I can understand your feelings for the first time.
14:48Even though I loved you so much,
14:51this is not just a broken heart.
14:53It's a song that a woman took the initiative and decided to break up.
14:59I wrote it without thinking about such a deep thing.
15:03It was too spontaneous.
15:05Actually, there is a protagonist who wants to think that he only loved me.
15:11Maybe it's not like that,
15:14but I think there is a me who wants to think that he only loved me.
15:19And one of the representative works is
15:22Stop Fighting, sung by Kawaii Naoko.
15:32Stop fighting for me
15:37I want you to love me more
15:40It's a song that a woman took the initiative and decided to break up.
15:43It's called a love song.
15:45I thought it would be nice if Naoko sang a love song
15:50between two men.
15:53Later, I covered it myself and sang it.
15:55I felt like I was a very bad person.
15:58I had that kind of awareness.
16:00That's why I call it a love song.
16:03But this song was praised by Kyohei Tsutsumi.
16:06He said,
16:08Stop fighting, Kawaii Naoko.
16:10That's a good song.
16:13Kyohei Tsutsumi praised my song.
16:18I remember being very happy.
16:23When he said it was a good song,
16:25I remember being very confident.
16:28When I stop fighting,
16:31I feel like I'm connected to the station.
16:34When I was in college,
16:36I was holding the initiative in my hand.
16:38That's when I thought of Takeuchi Line.
16:42It's like a link.
16:44After she left,
16:46the station flowed in my head.
16:49I wonder how many times it flowed.
16:55When did you take this?
16:57What's that?
16:59I'm scared.
17:01I'm so scared.
17:03How did you feel when you took it?
17:05Takeuchi-san, please show me.
17:07Takeuchi Maria's song
17:09pierced people's hearts like this.
17:13It was made in an unexpected place.
17:17How do you usually compose?
17:21When I can write freely,
17:25I look at various things.
17:27When something comes to mind,
17:29I take notes.
17:31If there's an interesting word,
17:33I write it down.
17:35For example, now.
17:37I see.
17:39Was it hard to use?
17:41I write it down and pull it out later.
17:45But the melody comes first.
17:48Then I add the lyrics.
17:50Then I take it to Tatsuro and arrange it.
17:54Melody, lyrics, Tatsuro.
17:56Where do you usually compose?
17:58On the dining table at home,
18:01I put a mini keyboard like this.
18:04First, I look around.
18:08When I have a composition,
18:11I put the lyrics on this keyboard.
18:15Then I take notes on the dining table.
18:19When the melody and lyrics come to me,
18:22I shampoo my hair.
18:24Isn't it sticky?
18:26Yes, it's bubbly.
18:28When I shampoo my hair,
18:30something comes down.
18:32There's a phrase that I like.
18:34It comes out.
18:36I put it on my iPhone or smartphone.
18:40Do you still do that?
18:42Yes, I do.
18:44It never comes back.
18:46If I forget it there,
18:48it won't come back after a night.
18:51So I put it on my iPhone or smartphone.
18:55Maria Takeuchi's music
18:57was born from everyday scenery.
19:00It has the power to be loved for a long time.
19:06In particular, Genki Odashite,
19:09which was released 37 years ago,
19:12is covered by many popular singers
19:15such as Showa, Heisei and Reiwa.
19:20Genki Odashite,
19:21how did you make this song?
19:23There's a singer-songwriter called Carly Simon,
19:26whom I like.
19:28She was a couple with James Taylor,
19:31whom I like.
19:33But they got divorced.
19:35I wanted to cheer up Carly.
19:37So I wrote this song
19:39as if I were talking to Carly Simon.
19:43But the arrangement was
19:45James Taylor style.
19:47So I made it Tatsuro style.
19:49Tatsuro style.
19:51Your husband makes it
19:53when he orders.
19:55Yes.
19:56I tell him in detail.
19:58I tell him to add harmonica
20:01or guitar cutting.
20:03I tell him that.
20:05As for Genki Odashite,
20:07I told him to make it
20:09as if James Taylor was playing
20:11in an acoustic style.
20:13I'm glad that I could make it.
20:15Is there a time when you think
20:17it's impossible?
20:18Not really.
20:20Sometimes he arranges
20:22in a new way.
20:24It's beyond my expectation.
20:26He is a great vocalist,
20:29a great player,
20:31and an arranger.
20:33He spends his time for me.
20:38In a sense,
20:40I cut half of his activities.
20:44So I have a little extra work.
20:47But I have to do my best.
20:50It's a motivation.
20:52I feel sorry for him.
20:55I heard what you said
20:57when you made the song.
20:59Do you want a Tatsuro in your family?
21:02I think so.
21:04It's rude to say that.
21:07You said it to Maria.
21:09She is my wife.
21:11You can't say that.
21:13It's rude.
21:15Speaking of Maria Takeuchi
21:17and Tatsuro Yamashita.
21:26They always listen to
21:28Christmas songs.
21:30It's a wonderful holiday.
21:39I run through the streets
21:41of the city of silk.
21:49Christmas Eve became a hit
21:51as a commercial song
21:53for JR Tokai.
21:56They are a couple who
21:58sing Christmas songs in Japan.
22:01But there is a shocking fact.
22:05Christmas Eve is also a song
22:07that Maria Takeuchi should sing.
22:11What do you mean?
22:13It's a very exciting song.
22:15It's a wonderful holiday.
22:17Is it free to go to Kentucky?
22:20You can't get money from Kentucky.
22:23That's right.
22:25That's why I'm promoting it.
22:27Christmas Eve is a song
22:29that you sing right away.
22:31It's Christmas Eve.
22:33It's played all over the country.
22:35Are you trying to monopolize
22:37Christmas songs in Japan?
22:39I don't mean that.
22:41Originally,
22:43the song he wrote
22:45for my album
22:47was scrapped.
22:49The director said,
22:51this is no good.
22:53He dug it up
22:55and put it in the album
22:57called Melodies.
22:59I didn't write it
23:01to write a Christmas song.
23:03It was one of the songs
23:05in the album.
23:07It was taken up
23:09by a commercial of JR Tokai.
23:11How many people were
23:13scrapped?
23:15I don't know.
23:17But it became his song
23:19because it was scrapped.
23:21That's a good thing.
23:23Can I brag a little?
23:25Go ahead.
23:2714 or 15 years ago,
23:29I was drinking at the counter
23:31and a beautiful woman
23:33came up to me.
23:35She was Marius Takeuchi.
23:37I was surprised.
23:39I sat next to her
23:41and said,
23:43Hello.
23:45Hello.
23:47It's like Shonen Yaki.
23:49At a bar at night.
23:51She was a very
23:53energetic person.
23:55She said,
23:57cheers.
23:59I said,
24:01I'm sorry.
24:03There was a karaoke there.
24:05She sang
24:07at the station.
24:09I said,
24:11at the station at twilight.
24:13She sang.
24:15It's a lifetime memory.
24:17The origin of
24:19Marius Takeuchi
24:21is his band activity
24:23at Keio University.
24:25In 1953,
24:27he made his major debut
24:29at the age of 23.
24:31The following year,
24:41in September,
24:43he won the Japanese Record
24:45and the New Artist Award.
24:47The following year,
24:49his song,
24:51Peach Pie,
24:53became a big hit
24:55and became a commercial song for cosmetics.
24:57However,
25:01I used to enjoy singing
25:03but now it's hard.
25:05I want to take a break
25:07as soon as possible.
25:09She stopped singing
25:11in just three years
25:13since her debut.
25:15She was away from TV.
25:17Why did she take a break?
25:19We will talk about
25:21her suffering
25:23in the next episode.
25:29Next,
25:31Marius Takeuchi
25:33suddenly stopped acting.
25:35Hayashi Osamu
25:37is the reason.
25:39Marius Takeuchi
25:41doesn't appear on TV much now,
25:43but when he made his debut,
25:45he often appeared on TV
25:47as an idol.
25:49At that time,
25:51he appeared on TV
25:53as an idol.
25:55Yes,
25:57he appeared on TV
25:59as an idol.
26:01He also appeared
26:03as a host
26:05of a variety show.
26:07He appeared
26:09on TV
26:11as a gravure model
26:13for a TV program.
26:15He became a big hit
26:17and became popular.
26:19When I was singing
26:21Beach Pie,
26:23I had a cold,
26:25so I was hospitalized
26:27for a week.
26:29When I was hospitalized,
26:31I enjoyed singing
26:33but now I feel painful.
26:35I don't want to show
26:37my painful self to others.
26:39If I had more time,
26:41I would look for
26:43various music
26:45and my own words
26:47and record them slowly.
26:49I wish I could
26:51make an album.
26:53My physical condition
26:55deteriorated a lot.
26:57So I decided to quit
26:59once.
27:01Did you hesitate to quit?
27:03I didn't hesitate.
27:05I wanted to take a break
27:07as soon as possible.
27:11Although she won
27:13the New Artist Award
27:15she quit her job
27:17only 3 years after her debut.
27:21However,
27:23her experience of quitting
27:25changed her music career.
27:29She married
27:31Tatsuro Yamashita
27:33who had been dating
27:35for a long time.
27:37As her private life
27:39was getting better,
27:41her feelings changed.
27:45While I was taking a break,
27:47I thought
27:49I could watch a movie
27:51and pick a can
27:53in a department store.
27:55I was happy
27:57because I could
27:59enjoy my free time.
28:01As my private life
28:03was getting better,
28:05I thought
28:07I wanted to write a song.
28:09As I had free time,
28:11I wanted to write a song.
28:13As soon as I took a break,
28:15I got offers from
28:17Naoko's director
28:19and Yukiko Okada.
28:21Yukiko Okada wrote
28:23a lot of songs.
28:25I got offers from
28:27Yukiko's director.
28:29As I enjoyed writing songs,
28:31I wrote my own songs
28:33and released them
28:35as a variety album.
28:39While you were taking a break,
28:41you wrote your own songs?
28:43Yes.
28:45When I asked Tatsuro
28:47to write a demo tape,
28:49he said,
28:51if I could write so many songs,
28:53I should release
28:55all of them.
28:57At first,
28:59I asked many people
29:01to write songs
29:03and asked them to write
29:05half of the songs.
29:07That's impossible.
29:09That's not a normal conversation
29:11between a couple.
29:13I can't believe it.
29:15However,
29:17something happened
29:19to Yasaki
29:21when she started advertising.
29:23When I asked her
29:25to release a variety album,
29:27I found out that
29:29she was a misunderstander.
29:31She couldn't promote it at all.
29:33She had a big belly.
29:35When she released a variety album,
29:37more people listened to it
29:39than when she released it
29:419 months ago.
29:43So I thought
29:45if she could release a song
29:47as a music,
29:49people would listen to it
29:51even though
29:53she didn't
29:55promote it on TV.
29:57That's what I thought
29:59when she released
30:01a non-promotional song.
30:03If that's the case,
30:05I thought that
30:07I could support her
30:09by taking care of her
30:11at home and
30:13raising her.
30:15I thought that
30:17it would be the best way
30:19to support her
30:21while maintaining
30:23her mental health.
30:25Singer-songwriter
30:27Maria Takeuchi's life
30:29was decided.
30:31When she was stuck at work,
30:33she had the courage
30:35to take a break.
30:37She grasped the pace
30:39that was right for her.
30:41She sent many
30:43great songs to the world.
30:45Did you have a hard time
30:47when your child was born?
30:49I didn't think much about it.
30:51I just did what I could do.
30:53It was very interesting
30:55to see my child's growth.
30:57I didn't want to miss it.
30:59For example,
31:01I asked my husband
31:03what kind of music
31:05these women wanted
31:07while having lunch.
31:09He said,
31:11he wanted to go back
31:13to his hometown.
31:15That's how
31:17I was born.
31:31Maria Takeuchi's life
31:33was decided.
31:35The reality that she felt
31:37in her ordinary life
31:39was expressed
31:41in her lyrics.
31:43That's why
31:45she sympathizes with
31:47what she hears
31:49and it resonates
31:51in her heart.
31:53It's the only sound
31:55that I don't feel old.
31:57I can't get used to it.
31:59That's amazing.
32:01Have you ever met her?
32:03No, I'm her LINE friend.
32:05What?
32:07When I made a song,
32:09she listened to it.
32:11She gave me her impression.
32:13She listened to your song
32:15and gave you her impression.
32:17What did she say?
32:19I don't know how many times
32:21I scrolled
32:23for one song.
32:25She gave me her impression.
32:27I thought
32:29she was right.
32:31He's kind.
32:33Don't erase the story
32:35about the bar.
32:37Don't put the blame on us.
32:39I'm sorry.
32:41Next,
32:43Maria Takeuchi's face
32:45is not often shown on TV.
32:47Sam Hayashio approaches her.
32:49Then...
32:51Really?
32:53I'm so happy.
32:55I'm so happy.
32:57Really?
32:59Maria Takeuchi's favorite
33:01comedian appears.
33:03She's so excited
33:05about him.
33:07She's happy.
33:09I feel like I'm going to fry her.
33:13She's looking at me.
33:15She really likes him.
33:17Next,
33:19a private interview.
33:21He's a private stylist
33:23who has been working
33:25with her for 20 years.
33:27Miho Matsuura.
33:29She's been working with her
33:31for 20 years.
33:33According to Miho,
33:35she has a good personality
33:37and is elegant and smart.
33:39And she's more attentive
33:41than anyone else.
33:43She gave her birthday present
33:45to Miho.
33:47I thought she was a god.
33:49Miho, you're exaggerating.
33:51I'm sorry.
33:53Anyway,
33:55she likes to joke around.
33:59I like to joke around.
34:01When I'm talking to others,
34:03I often joke around
34:05while I'm talking.
34:07For example,
34:09I shake off my tiredness
34:11with foot bath.
34:13I see.
34:15I'm sorry.
34:17I'm sorry I slipped.
34:19I'm sorry I slipped.
34:21Maria, don't slip.
34:23Don't make me slip.
34:25I'm sorry
34:27I made an unreasonable request.
34:29I'm going back to China.
34:31China?
34:33That's great.
34:35China.
34:37I'm sorry
34:39my sensors don't work well.
34:41Please let me go.
34:45Maria, that's enough.
34:47I wanted her to change.
34:49Do you like to joke around?
34:51I like to joke around.
34:53Making people laugh
34:55is one of the most precious things
34:57in this world.
34:59Making people cry
35:01is something you can do
35:03in a drama or a movie.
35:05But making people laugh
35:07is quite difficult.
35:09I heard you used to like
35:11Jiro Shisongu.
35:13I love him.
35:15Jiro Shisongu.
35:17I like Ken Shimura.
35:19I've always liked him.
35:21I think he is
35:23the best follower
35:25of Ken Shimura.
35:27Next is Jiro Shisongu.
35:29Jiro Shisongu has his own essence.
35:31Actually,
35:33this time,
35:35we're going to interview
35:37someone you want to meet.
35:39Really?
35:41Jiro Shisongu.
35:43Really?
35:45Hello.
35:47I'm so happy to meet you.
35:49Really?
35:51You're always nice at the border.
35:53Thank you for remembering
35:55that.
35:57Actually, Jiro Shisongu
35:59is also a big fan of Maria Takeuchi.
36:01This is the first time
36:03that two people who love each other
36:05are talking directly.
36:07Jiro is getting nervous.
36:09This is a question from Takeuchi
36:11to Jiro Shisongu.
36:13When I met Jiro,
36:15I wanted to ask you
36:17about Steve Jobs'
36:19present.
36:21It's a bit of a secret,
36:23but is it a scapegoat?
36:25Do you really know
36:27that story?
36:29I love it.
36:31Even our fans
36:33don't watch that story.
36:35It's a waste.
36:37This is the story
36:39of Jiro Shisongu.
36:43Welcome to our new product release event.

37:33I'm impressed by your English.
37:37The word Scape Jobs
37:39came out of your mouth.
37:41I love it.
37:43I'll tell you a story about women.
37:45Can I say it?
37:47Please.
37:49It's a story about high school girls.
37:53It's a story that's only on TV.
37:55It's a story that's only on TV.
37:57It's a story that's only on TV.
37:59It's a story that's only on TV.
38:01It's a story that's only on TV.
38:03It's a story that's only on TV.
38:05On the other hand,
38:07On the other hand,
38:09they're crazy about tempura.
38:11they're crazy about tempura.
38:13They're crazy about tempura.
38:15They're crazy about tempura.
38:17I'm looking at it.
38:19I'm looking at it.
38:23How do you make a character?
38:25How do you make a character?
38:27When I write a story about women,
38:29I make a lot of impressions.
38:31I've been doing that for a long time.
38:33That's how I've been able to keep my role as a woman from getting too dark.
38:39I've been able to draw from a positive point of view.
38:42There are a lot of stories about being in a relationship with Hasegawa-san.
38:46But there are a lot of weak women, right?
38:48Yes, that's right.
38:49They're a little shy.
38:50Yes.
38:51I have a lot of sympathy for that.
38:53I've been analyzing it.
38:54At the real estate agency, they say,
38:56I really like that.
39:07I really like it.
39:08You may be watching my video more than me.
39:12I'd like to do a collaboration with you.
39:14What kind of collaboration?
39:16Music.
39:17What are you going to do?
39:18I'm a very good singer.
39:19No, no, no.
39:21I think I can die today.
39:23I've been told so much by Maria-san.
39:25It's already a goal.
39:26My life is already a goal today.
39:29Please realize the collaboration.
39:30Yes.
39:31Thank you very much.
39:32Thank you very much.
39:33Don't talk to your father.
39:37I'm glad to be on this show like this.
39:43The interviewer was Maria Takeuchi, right?
39:47You really like it.
39:49Maria Takeuchi cherishes the connection with people,
39:52just as she invited Tojiro for a collaboration.
39:58In the latest album, Precious Days, which has been released for the first time in 10 years,
40:03various artists such as Aya Matsuura, Erika Ikuta, Saori Hayami, etc.
40:08are integrated in the chorus.
40:12It is very important to cherish the connection with people you meet.
40:18In this album, the subject is Aya Matsuura.
40:22Yes.
40:23This song was written for Aya-chan's album in 2011.
40:29In order to cover this song,
40:32Aya-chan is currently on maternity leave at home.
40:38I thought it was impossible,
40:40but I asked Aya-chan to do the chorus with me.
40:46She said she wanted to do it.
40:49She did it in her busy schedule.
40:53The fact that the original singer participated in the song
41:00gives the song a special meaning.
41:04By having that person participate,
41:07I think I was able to enjoy it twice or three times.
41:13Even though you release a lot of songs every year,
41:17you don't have many concerts, do you?
41:20That's right.
41:21Tatsuro Yamashita is constantly on stage.
41:26He is the backbone of my band.
41:30If his body doesn't work,
41:33he does his own album and tours.
41:37If he does my album,
41:39I have to take care of his body.
41:45I'm a fan of his music,
41:47so it doesn't make sense for me to stop his activities.
41:51So I've only done it three or four times since I got married.
41:56But I think that's just right.
42:00It's been 11 years since I've done it.
42:03You're going to do it again next year, right?
42:06In my case, of course, I want to deliver a song.
42:10But I want to meet the people who are always waiting for my music
42:15and say thank you in person.
42:19It's a place where I can express my gratitude.
42:23So I want to look at everyone's faces and say thank you.
42:29I think I have to sing as hard as I can.
42:32In her 20s, she couldn't do the music she wanted to do.
42:38After taking a break, she faced her daily life.
42:43Maria Takeuchi has created a great song.
42:48What is the most important thing in her life?
42:54I think it's a miracle that it's normal.
43:03My house is built in the present.
43:06I think it's in the present.
43:08It's the first time I've met someone who eats more than me.
43:11I eat a lot.
43:17What is the most important thing in her life?
43:23I think it's normal to live a normal life,
43:27wake up in the morning, work, and sleep at night.
43:31But if you think about it,
43:33there's a war going on in the world right now.
43:37After the earthquake,
43:39there are people who can't make ends meet.
43:43I think it's a miracle that it's normal.
43:48Of course, there are a lot of difficult things.
43:54But at least in the song,
43:57I want to light a small light in the listener's heart.
44:04Of course, I sing for my own happiness.
44:09But I want to make other people happy with my song.
44:14I want to make someone happy through my work.
44:19I want to work without forgetting that feeling.
44:24Every day is a special day.
44:30Genius singer Maria Takeuchi continues to send people special songs.
44:42Thank you very much.
44:44Thank you very much.
44:46I'm going to cry.
44:49I'm going to cry.
44:52Thank you very much.
44:55It's a great surprise.
44:57Can I take a picture with my iPhone?
45:00You like it that way.
45:01Then this man...
45:03What did he think?
45:04No, no, no.
45:06Let's take a picture.
45:08I'm embarrassed.
45:09This is...
45:10I'm embarrassed.
45:11This is bad.
45:12I'm embarrassed.
45:13I'm embarrassed.
45:15This is embarrassing.
45:17I'm embarrassed.
45:19Can I take a picture with my iPhone?
