01:20This is not who you are.
01:22Furthermore,

01:37has a novel theme,
01:39love comedy between men.

02:10The leading role drama, Osanzura,
02:12which made the most noise in the world in 2018,
02:16was amazing, wasn't it?
02:18It was amazing.
02:20It became an important work in my life.
02:25I'm still close with the Osanzura team.
02:30We are almost like family,
02:32almost like relatives.
02:36Did you hear that Osanzura was very popular at the time?
02:40When I was in my first year,
02:42we all went out to eat and drink together.
02:46Of course, it costs money.
02:49But when we spent all the money,
02:51we got a little broke.
02:53A little broke?
02:54Yes, a little broke.
02:56The total cost was 69 yen?
02:58Yes, it was that much when I was in my first year.

03:16and the leading role, Ken Hayashi, played by Maki.
03:20During the shooting,
03:22he was in love with Ken Hayashi in private.
03:27I heard that he was loved by many people
03:30outside of the shooting.
03:32Yes.
03:33He called me at around 4 a.m.
03:39and said,
03:40I really want to talk to you.
03:42At 4 a.m.?
03:43No, no, no, it was 4 a.m.
03:46I thought I had to do it today,
03:48so I said I wouldn't go.
03:50But it was a little different.
03:53I really wanted to talk to Kei.
03:56It was a little hot.
03:58I thought something was wrong,
04:00so I went to see her at 4 a.m.
04:02That's amazing.
04:03I would never go to a place like that.
04:05I thought it was 4 a.m.,
04:07but I still went.
04:09I went and went,
04:12but I just got drunk and got lonely,
04:14so I called her.
04:16What?
04:17That's crazy.
04:20Since then,
04:21I've ignored her calls.
04:23You only called her once, right?
04:25Yes, I ignored her.
04:27Starting with Ken Hayashi,
04:29Ryosuke Yamada of Heisei Jump,
04:31Tatsuya Fukazawa of Snowman,
04:33Kei Tanaka is loved by many juniors.
04:37He is a big brother of Heisei Jump.
04:41In addition, Ryoko Yonekura and Shun Oguri
04:44are good friends with their seniors.
04:46Anyway, they have a lot in common.
04:51Why is Kei Tanaka so loved by so many people?
04:55Osamu Hayashi is going to find out.
05:00In this show,
05:01we ask Masaru Akai,
05:03who is a guest,
05:05to design flowers for us.
05:09This time, it's a ki-ichigo.
05:11Ki-ichigo?
05:12The color of the leaves changes depending on the season,
05:14and in autumn, they bloom brilliantly.
05:16Kei Tanaka's appearance
05:18shows various facial expressions
05:20depending on the role.
05:22That's what he said.
05:23I'm so happy.
05:27It's a bit embarrassing,
05:29but first of all,
05:31he has a deep connection
05:33with Shun Oguri.
05:35That's right.
05:38He's a big shot.
05:42Shun Oguri and I
05:44don't have a job.
05:47But we've been talking about it for a long time.
05:51Recently, I've been in the office a lot.
05:54You've become the president.
05:57Do you respect Junichi Okada?
06:00Junichi Okada, Junichi Yonekura, Junichi Oguri,
06:04all three of them
06:06are people I respect.
06:08They're cool people.
06:10They're the top three.
06:12Since I was young.
06:14Junichi Okada is Junichi Okada.
06:17I respect him a lot.
06:21Junichi Okada is well-trained.
06:25Tanaka is also well-trained.
06:27You're showing off your body in the article, right?
06:30I'm not showing off.
06:34I think this is a show-off.
06:36Is that so?
06:38That's amazing.
06:41Satomi Ishihara,
06:43who has been a friend since she was a teenager
06:45and consults on the phone.
06:48Rikishi Toyonoshima,
06:50who has been friends with his family.
06:52Kei Tanaka,
06:54who has a lot of friends.
06:57But there's something
06:59I'm curious about.
07:02He's the best friend in the entertainment world.
07:05Who is he?
07:08Is this just a picture of the staff?
07:10I don't know who he is.
07:12He doesn't exist?
07:14No.
07:16Who is he?
07:18Is he just saying that?
07:20I don't know.
07:22Who is he?
07:26It's me.
07:29Poor guy.
07:33That's amazing.
07:35Why did you jump out of there?
07:37How was it?
07:39I didn't know.
07:41I'm his best friend.
07:43I just heard it.
07:45I didn't see it at all.
07:47I forgot it.
07:49I wouldn't say he's not my best friend.
07:51Right?
07:53How long has it been?
07:55About 2 years.
07:57He's the best friend in the entertainment world.
07:59You're saying the opposite.
08:01No, no, no.
08:03He's the best friend in the entertainment world.
08:05No, no, no.
08:09I made too many younger brothers.
08:11I made too many younger brothers.
08:13Really.
08:15But where did you come from?
08:17But where did you come from?
08:21Since they became friends on TV,
08:23Since they became friends on TV,
08:25they became friends on TV.
08:27Tanaka, a close friend of the entertainer,
08:29Tanaka, a close friend of the entertainer,
08:31and Hen-to-Nakajima
08:33got together in the middle of the show.
08:35and got together in the middle of the show.
08:37Don't make it high-speed.
08:39Their meeting started
08:418 years ago.
08:438 years ago.
08:45Why is Kei Tanaka loved by so many people?
08:50We asked him about it.
08:53Takaya Kamikawa, Chiaki Kuriyama, Kobayashi Kendo, and Baichak Nagumura.
08:59They were all amazing.
09:01Even when we were eating in the studio,
09:03they were all veterans.
09:05So I was eating alone.
09:07At that time, Kei told me to eat with him.
09:14Then Kei came to talk to me.
09:18He was the first brother who asked me about my situation.
09:22I remember that I ate with him.
09:25But I had to act as a main character.
09:28And he was young.
09:30He was always like,
09:31I have to do it right.
09:34So I was like,
09:35I'll do it with one hand.
09:36I'll give you a hug.
09:37I'll give you a hug.
09:38I was like,
09:39Let's eat together.
09:41He was so kind.
09:42He was more into Kei than I thought.
09:45He was into me.
09:46He might have been a Nobu for Kei.
09:48That's not true.
09:49That's not true.
09:51When Kei was on the show,
09:53he didn't care about Kei at all.
09:57That's terrible.
09:58It's been two years.
09:59I was a regular on the show.
10:01Mr. Okamura, Mr. Nobu, and Mr. Tao Tsuchiya.
10:06There were so many people.
10:09I was thinking about how to be myself.
10:12But I couldn't be myself.
10:15Kei was like,
10:16I want you to be yourself.
10:20If you think too much,
10:22you can't be a variety show.
10:25You gave him a lot of advice.
10:28What's wrong?
10:32You look so cool.
10:36What do you mean?
10:37That's not what I meant.
10:40I was confused.
10:42I was wondering what he was worried about.
10:45He looked so cool.
10:48I thought he wasn't worried about me.
10:51That's what I thought.
10:54He was the most important person to me.
10:56I see.
10:57Mr. Tanokawa, who is so precious to you,
10:59and Mr. Gochi said goodbye.
11:01I borrowed the video at that time.
11:04Are you kidding me?
11:06In 2019,
11:08Kento Nakajima decided to be fired
11:10because he was Gochi of Gournai.
11:13You don't have to add it up.
11:15This is the video of Kento Nakajima
11:17who broke up with his beloved Kei Tanaka
11:20that was broadcast live.
11:36Kei Tanaka
11:56So cute.
12:07Kei Tanaka
12:18What are you doing?
12:20What are you doing?
12:25It was a moment when Kento Nakajima and Kei Tanaka
12:29fell in love with each other.
12:35It was like the end of the world.
12:38That's not true.
12:43It's been a long time since he cried.
12:47It's been a long time.
12:49There is a message
12:51that Mr. Tanaka sent to Kei Tanaka
12:53after Kei Tanaka graduated.
12:54Yes, there is.
12:55Here it is.
12:57Kei Tanaka, thank you for your hard work.
12:58I had a lot of fun.
13:00I learned a lot from Kei Tanaka.
13:02Let's work together again soon.
13:04You...
13:05I'm really sad.
13:06I'm sorry.
13:07But it's really your journey.
13:09Of course, I'm rooting for you from somewhere.
13:11So I'm going to treat you to a meal at any time.
13:13I'm angry.
13:14I decided to go crazy in Gochi for the two of you next year.
13:18Leave it to me.
13:19I'm not worried because I'm free from responsibility
13:22and I'm sure you'll become a superstar.
13:24I'm lonely for the time being.
13:26But thank you for your continued support.
13:28Thank you for your hard work.
13:30That's amazing.
13:31He's so kind.
13:32Kenty, you've read it over and over again.
13:34I've read it over and over again.
13:36I'm so happy.
13:38What do you think is the reason why so many people love you so much?
13:46I think it's because you have a great personality.
13:49For example, when there are a lot of people at a dinner party,
13:52you don't leave anyone behind.
13:54I'm the type of person who gets lonely in a big party.
14:00Kenty is like,
14:02What are you doing?
14:04I think that's why people love you so much.
14:09If you take care of me like that,
14:11I'm sure you'll have more younger brothers.
14:14You're right.
14:15I have two younger brothers.
14:18I'm serious.
14:19Really?
14:20When I got a two-shot with Yamada,
14:24I was like,
14:26What kind of play is that?
14:29I threw my phone away.
14:31What's going on?
14:33I'm going to have dinner with Tatsuya next time.
14:35It's Fukka, right?
14:36We did a drama together.
14:38I was a little jealous because I thought we'd get along well.
14:42I'm jealous.
14:44It turned out to be a happy Kenty's love.
14:50What is this Kenty's love?
14:53Even so,
14:54Tanaka Kei is loved so much because he can give his heart that no one will leave him behind.
15:04I'm so happy to be with you at this distance at the end.
15:11I feel like I've been with you ever since I lost my parents.
15:17How about Mr. Saito Yuki, who has been in collaboration with Kei Tanaka three times so far?
15:21He's like a good-natured brother.
15:24He doesn't feel like an entertainer at all.
15:29What I want to say is,
15:31I feel like I can open my heart normally.
15:35It's easy to get along with him.
15:37That's right.
15:38That's it.
15:39Is this it?
15:42What I want to say is,
15:43That's it.
15:45The reason why Kei Tanaka, who is loved by many people, was born was
15:52the existence of his mother, who gave him love as a single parent.
15:59However, he couldn't show his beloved person his masterpiece,
16:05Ossan's Love.
16:10My mother was in a critical condition.
16:14She fought against the disease until the end, saying she would never lose.
16:21But...
16:24I think it's a little too early.
16:31Kei Tanaka learns about his mother's hidden feelings for the first time tonight.
16:39Kei Tanaka's Turning Point
16:43Next, let's talk about three of Kei Tanaka's turning points.
16:54Kei Tanaka, who started his career as an entertainer at the age of 15,
16:57immediately encounters a work that changes his fate.
17:02Takayuki Yamada, Mirai Moriyama, Eita Nagayama, Gen Hoshino, etc.
17:07A big hit drama with young actors.
17:12That is...
17:24The highest viewing rate in 2003 was 19.2%.
17:28Water Boys
17:37Kei Tanaka was chosen as a best friend of Shindo, the main character played by Takayuki Yamada.
17:44What was the influence of the same generation?
17:47There were a lot of members.
17:49Water Boys was Water Boys.
17:51It was the first work I did as a regular.
17:57Everyone was serious about being an actor.
18:03I've never done that much before.
18:06I was very influenced by everyone around me,
18:10such as Takayuki Yamada, the main character,
18:13and it was hard to practice synchronization.
18:19I cried all the time.
18:22How hard was it?
18:24I trained for a month before the shooting.
18:29I couldn't swim at first.
18:32It was very hard.
18:34After the shooting, I practiced once a week.
18:39I had a hot summer.
18:42Did you practice with Gen Hoshino?
18:45We practiced together.
18:48Gen Hoshino and I decided to take a break.
18:53When everyone went back to the pool,
18:56Gen Hoshino and I were the last to enter the pool.
19:00I didn't want to go into the pool at all.
19:03Who was the first to enter the pool?
19:06Mirai.
19:08Mr. Stick.
19:10Mr. Stick.
19:12I wanted to leave the pool as soon as possible.
19:19What kind of work is Water Boyz to you?
19:23It's a work that made me want to become an actor.
19:30When I was a student,
19:33I went to a very nice school.
19:37It was normal for everyone to go to college.
19:42I dropped out pretty early.
19:45When I was studying,
19:48I happened to be in the entertainment industry.
19:53I thought,
19:55I'm going to the entertainment industry.
19:58I don't have to take the entrance exam.
20:01That's how I used it at first.
20:04But it was fun to work with Water Boys.
20:08It was fun to make things and act with everyone.
20:12It was the first time I thought I'd give it a try.
20:18When he was cranking up,
20:20there was a change in Tanaka's mood.
20:32That's nice.
20:35It was the moment when he decided to survive in the world of acting.
20:41But after that, he was able to appear in...
20:48This is also a drama starring Takayuki Yamada.
20:51He plays the role of a classmate of the heroine,
20:54who shouts for love in the center of the world.
21:01In Orange Days, where Eita Nagayama,
21:04who is of the same generation, appeared as the main member,
21:07he appeared as a guest in the 8th episode.
21:10Even in the hit drama, Dango Returns,
21:13he didn't leave a big mark.
21:18Even after his debut, he continued to work part-time.
21:24What did you do for a living?
21:26I did a lot of things.
21:28The most I did was a pachinko shop,
21:30and giving out tissues.
21:33When I gave out tissues,
21:35they said,
21:36please shake hands.
21:38They knew you were in the drama?
21:40Yes.
21:42How did you feel?
21:45I said, thank you, and I'll do my best.
21:48And they said,
21:49sorry for giving out tissues.
21:53What made you start getting offers?
21:57I'm curious.
21:58The first time I was asked to appear on TV,
22:04it was with Ryoko Yonekura.
22:06We appeared together,
22:08but it was with Dr. X.
22:13The second turning point was
22:15Dr. X, a national medical drama
22:17starring 28-year-old Ryoko Yonekura.
22:22In the first season of 2012,
22:25she played the role of a newcomer surgeon.
22:30Ryoko Yonekura,
22:32played by Dr. X,
22:34was greatly influenced by Toshiyuki Nishida.
22:39Was there anything that influenced you
22:42to play Ryoko Yonekura?
22:45I think it was right before Dr. X started.
22:50When she was playing a boy in Chicago,
22:54I was watching a documentary,
22:57and she was doing her best from a place
23:00like a dance studio.
23:02I was amazed to see
23:04how hard she was working.
23:08I thought she was so cool,
23:10and Dr. X got bigger and bigger.
23:16Toshiyuki Nishida,
23:18who passed away this October,
23:20learned something important as an actor.
23:25It became an important experience
23:28that led to the popular drama
23:30Ossan's Love.
23:33She had an overwhelming presence,
23:37but she was also very kind.
23:40She was such a wonderful person.
23:43I was very lonely and sad.
23:47Toshiyuki Nishida,
23:49played by Dr. X,
23:51was greatly influenced by Toshiyuki Nishida,
23:54who passed away this October.
23:57She learned something important as an actor.
24:02Ryoko Yonekura,
24:04and many other people who played Dr. X,
24:08were influenced by Toshiyuki Nishida.
24:13How about you, Tanaka-san?
24:16Like you, Enken-san,
24:19I was able to endure
24:21the fact that I would definitely laugh.
24:24I didn't have anything to say
24:26when we were facing each other.
24:28When we were together,
24:30I would just look down and laugh.
24:33Really?
24:36Toshiyuki Nishida had an overwhelming presence,
24:40but she was also very kind.
24:43She was such a wonderful person.
24:45I was very lonely and sad.
24:50At the end,
24:53I was able to be with Toshiyuki Nishida.
24:58I was very happy.
25:01I felt like I had to do something
25:05to make up for it.
25:09Dr. X's ad-libbing scenes
25:13were shown for 6 years,
25:16from season 1 to season 2.
25:20Later, they were used in
25:23Tanaka Kei's masterpiece,
25:25Ossan's Love.
25:28I heard that the drama had a lot of ad-libs.
25:31Is that true?
25:32Yes.
25:33It's hard to explain what ad-libs are.
25:37For example, the lines in the script,
25:40the movements in the script,
25:42and the strokes in the script.
25:44If those are ad-libs,
25:46then Ossan's Love is about half ad-libs.
25:49Half ad-libs?
25:51Wow.
25:54When I first worked with Kento Hayashi
25:56on Ossan's Love season 1,
25:58I told him that I wanted to do that.
26:02There are lines that I was given.
26:05In the script,
26:07there is a line that says,
26:09this is red, right?
26:11If I was given this,
26:13I would say, this is red, right?
26:16But if I was given this,
26:18I wouldn't say, this is red, right?
26:20That's right.
26:21Depending on the person,
26:22the words for this change, right?
26:24If I felt that way,
26:26I didn't have to say the lines in the script.
26:28I just said what I thought.
26:30I see.
26:31That's what I said.
26:32I want to take care of the emotions that come from that.
26:35The script is a wonderful map
26:39that spreads out in front of us.
26:41So it's not good enough
26:43to go on a rampage with each role.
26:46It's always like a live concert.
26:48I see.
26:49So I needed a lot of concentration.
26:52I get really tired every time.
26:56Can I change the subject for a moment?
27:04Go ahead.
27:05I don't know why,
27:07but after Ossan's Love,
27:09I was really popular.
27:12You were popular?
27:14There was Oguri Shun in my agency.
27:17Oguri Shun became a top star.
27:22Originally,
27:24it was an agency that wanted to train actors.
27:30At the age of 33,
27:32Kei Tanaka became the first
27:34in the 2018 Break Actor Ranking.
27:39But on the other hand,
27:41Oguri Shun, who has been a senior in the same agency
27:43and has been working hard since he was young,
27:48and Rui Hanazawa,
27:50who played the role of Dango Hanayuri
27:52at the age of 22.
27:55At the age of 24,
27:57he became a top star
27:59in the movie Close Zero.
28:05Before Ossan's Love,
28:07I was successful as an actor.
28:09For example,
28:10I was able to quit my part-time job
28:12and support my family.
28:14I was able to live a normal life.
28:16However,
28:18after Oguri Shun became a top star,
28:20I felt that there was no meaning
28:22if I didn't break.
28:24I felt that my purpose was to be popular.
28:29I'm not looking for a second Oguri,
28:31but I thought it would be like that.
28:33It was an easy-to-understand flow.
28:35Sometimes I was told
28:37that I was good or bad,
28:39and that I didn't cry.
28:43For Kei Tanaka,
28:45the existence of his senior, Oguri Shun,
28:47was a pressure.
28:50When Ossan's Love came out
28:52and the environment changed,
28:56I was very upset.
28:58I didn't feel like I was finally popular.
29:01I didn't want to be congratulated.
29:04You didn't want to be told that.
29:06I wasn't unhappy,
29:08but I was told too much.
29:10I was like,
29:12what have I been doing?
29:14Also,
29:16thanks to the role of Haruta,
29:18I had a lot of sympathy
29:20when I was walking around the city.
29:23That's good.
29:25I wanted to say,
29:27I'm not like that.
29:29I was like,
29:31is it okay to be popular?
29:33There was a time when I was a little depressed.
29:36However,
29:38thanks to the success of the movie,
29:41I felt like
29:43I didn't have to be dragged into it.
29:46That's what I thought.
29:48It gave me a chance.
29:50There was an exaggeration,
29:52but you were able to get back to normal.
29:55I thought,
29:57I can continue to be an actor.
30:00It purified me a little.
30:03It became a very popular drama.
30:06I think it was a great thing for Tanaka.
30:09But for this program,
30:11it was the other way around.
30:13That's right.
30:15You don't have to say that.
30:17Someone loves someone!
30:21The mystery drama,
30:23Your Turn,
30:25became a big topic on social media
30:27and became a world trend.
30:29It became another masterpiece.
30:33In this work,
30:35he broke away from the strong image
30:37of an old man's love, Haruta,
30:39and Tanaka was able to
30:41move on to the next stage
30:43as an actor.
30:48When an actor has trouble acting,
30:51there are times when you can't
30:53consult an actor because of your pride.
30:55Especially when you can't act crying.
30:57When I consulted him that I couldn't cry,
30:59he said,
31:01I'm lucky to cry in a drama.
31:03Just hit it and break it.
31:05It's easier.
31:07Since then,
31:09I haven't had a hard time with tears.
31:11That was a big help.
31:13That's a perfect example.
31:15That perfect example is Gochi in 2019.
31:17No, it's not!
31:19It's not!
31:21It's just a joke taught by a comedian.
31:23It's not a joke.
31:25Tanaka, who has a wide range of activities
31:27in various fields,
31:29is 40 years old this year.
31:31His new challenge is
31:37to read a script
31:39in front of 10,000 people
31:41at the end of the year
31:43in front of 10,000 people
31:45at the end of the year.
31:49I think you usually speak.
31:51How was reading?
31:53It's difficult.
31:55It's difficult.
31:57How much should I put my feelings into it?
31:59How much should I put my feelings into it?
32:01How much should I put my feelings into it?
32:03And then,
32:05should I read it?
32:07Should I not read it?
32:09Should I not hold it?
32:11I'm still wondering which one is better.
32:13I'm still thinking about it.
32:17Next,
32:19Osamu Hayashi approaches
32:21Osamu Hayashi approaches
32:23Osamu Hayashi approaches
32:27When he was young,
32:29his parents got divorced
32:31and he grew up in a single-parent family.
32:33He was an excellent boy
32:35in both studying and sports.
32:39He entered a new school
32:41with his mother's expectations.
32:43However,
32:45I dropped out of school
32:47quite early.
32:49He couldn't keep up with the class
32:51and he couldn't keep up with his studies.
32:53He was injured
32:55and couldn't play basketball for many years.
32:57He lost his goal
32:59and his heart was broken.
33:01His mother saved him
33:03from the dark period.
33:07I was a year old
33:09when I lost everything.
33:11My mother saw me
33:13auditioning for a TV show.
33:15My mother saw me
33:17auditioning for a TV show.
33:19I was aiming for a TV show.
33:21I was aiming for a TV show.
33:23I was aiming for a TV show.
33:25I wanted people
33:27who had a goal
33:29and wanted to do
33:31what they wanted
33:33to join the TV show.
33:35Your mother prepared
33:37the TV show
33:39for you.
33:41It was a turning point
33:43in your life.
33:45Yes, it was.
33:47It was a turning point
33:49in my life.
33:51It was a turning point
33:53in my life.
33:55What kind of person
33:57was your mother?
34:01She was noisy.
34:03But
34:05she loved you.
34:07Did you have any memorable
34:09episodes when you were young?
34:13We always fought.
34:17I was alone.
34:19I was alone.
34:21I did club activities
34:23as a boy.
34:25When I was in high school,
34:27I got a part-time job.
34:29I asked her what she was doing.
34:31I asked her what she was doing.
34:33When I got home
34:35after work,
34:37she greeted me
34:39with a happy face.
34:41I remember that.
34:43I was happy when she came home.
34:47The TV show life
34:49started with her recommendation.
34:53It took time
34:55like Water Boys
34:57and Dr. X,
34:59but they built up their career.
35:01However,
35:03she couldn't show
35:05her beloved mother
35:07her masterpiece
35:09Ossan's Love.
35:13Three months before the show,
35:15she went to heaven.
35:17Three months before the show,
35:19she went to heaven.
35:23Yes.
35:25It was just before
35:27Ossan's Love.
35:29It was just before Ossan's Love.
35:31It was just before Ossan's Love.
35:33But I had no choice.
35:37Did she tell you anything
35:39at the end?
35:41No.
35:43At that time,
35:47i didn't think I'll lose.
35:49At that time,
35:51I didn't think I'll lose.
35:53I had to fight against my
35:55illness.
35:57It was decided
35:59to do Ossan's Love
36:01the next time.
36:03It was good for my case
36:05but I love comedy.
36:07I couldn't show them
36:09the part for theatre.
36:11I don't know if it's true, but that's about it.
36:20Before his mother passed away,
36:23Kinko-san, his mother's best friend,
36:26told him about his feelings for his son.
36:31Oh, Kinko-san.
36:33In that letter, there was an episode about his mother's love,
36:37which even Tanaka himself didn't know about.
36:42I can't forget the sight of you crying.
36:48I'm deeply moved by his mother's unknown feelings.
36:56Next week, Danjuro Ichikawa is funny!
37:00Mother equals cute!
37:02I'm often told I'm cute.
37:09Tanaka Kei was raised by a single parent,
37:12and his mother guided him to become an actor.
37:15A letter arrived from his best friend.
37:20Oh, Kinko-san.
37:25Kei-mama was Kei-kun's biggest fan,
37:29and when she saw all his works as an actor,
37:34she would always applaud and laugh.
37:39It was a moment when I felt that she was a very loving person.
37:46When she was ill,
37:48she would record all the shows that Kei-kun appeared in,
37:53and watch them endlessly.
37:57Even when she was not feeling well,
37:59she would tell Kei-kun not to overdo it,
38:03but Kei-kun would say,
38:05I'm going to watch it because it's your show,
38:08and while watching the show,
38:10Kei-kun would say,
38:12Kei-kun is so cool!
38:14Kei-kun's acting is wonderful!
38:16Kei-kun's acting is wonderful!
38:18Kei-kun's acting is wonderful!
38:20Kei-kun's acting is wonderful!
38:23When his condition worsened and he was admitted to intensive care,
38:28Kei-kun ran to him with a script.
38:35January 15, 2018
38:39I can't forget you crying.
38:45Even now,
38:47when I look at Kei-kun saying,
38:49Mom, Mom,
38:51I feel relieved,
38:53but honestly,
38:55there are times when my chest hurts.
38:59After my mother passed away,
39:02every time I watch the stage or TV,
39:05I want to tell Kei-kun's achievements,
39:08so I always watch them with Kei-mama's photos.
39:14Sometimes I talk about my achievements in photos,
39:18and when I go to the grave,
39:20I play Kei-kun's songs on YouTube
39:23and talk about various things.
39:27What makes me very happy is
39:29when I get an autograph on a pamphlet after the stage.
39:34It's not just a message to me,
39:37but a message to my mother,
39:40that if I continue to do my best,
39:42I will be able to add a word to my mother's feelings.
39:50Now he is an indispensable actor,
39:54and I am very proud of my best friend's son.
39:59Please cherish this wonderful fate,
40:02and stay healthy and well.
40:07Kinko
40:11Thank you very much.
40:13So you send a message,
40:15not just to Kinko-san,
40:17but to your mother as well.
40:21I used to fight a lot,
40:25but in the end,
40:27we were on good terms.
40:29Well, we weren't on good terms,
40:31but we were on good terms.
40:34I had a hard time making money,
40:38but now I can send my mother to school by myself,
40:46and I want to live closer to her.
40:54Now I can do that for her,
40:57and I think it's a little too soon.
41:02I've been thinking about this for a long time.
41:08It's a strange way of saying it,
41:11but I feel like I've been with my mother
41:15ever since she passed away.
41:25When I look at how you write your message to your mother,
41:29I can see that you are a person
41:33who can talk to a person who is alone at a dinner party.
41:36I can see that you take care of her
41:38by looking at her as a whole.
41:43Kei Tanaka is loved by many people.
41:48The person who created her personality
41:51is her mother,
41:53who poured her love into her son, Kei.
41:58Lastly, can you tell us
42:01what you value in your work?
42:04What I value in my work?
42:07Yes.
42:13Kei Tanaka's humanity
42:16can be seen in her long silence.
42:20Kei Tanaka's silence
42:25Next year, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of her debut as a singer,
42:28she will hold a nationwide tour for the first time in 36 years.
42:32Please come to the Saito Yuki 40th Anniversary Tour.
42:39Lastly, can you tell us
42:42what you value in your work?
42:45What I value in my work?
42:48Yes.
42:51What I value in my work?
42:54What I value in my work?
42:57What I value in my work?
43:00What I value in my work?
43:03What I value in my work?
43:07It's difficult!
43:11He's awake.
43:13It's difficult.
43:15I guess it's difficult to say it in one word.
43:17I guess it's difficult to say it in one word.
43:22But basically,
43:24I think it's to enjoy.
43:26I've been trying to enjoy it since I was in my 30s.
43:30The reason why I enjoy it is
43:32because our work is early in the morning,
43:35late at night,
43:36I have to memorize the lines,
43:38and I'm told what I like and what I don't like about the work.
43:41But the reason why I do this job is
43:43because I like it.
43:46As long as I'm doing this job,
43:49I think it's a waste if everyone around me
43:53doesn't enjoy it.
43:56That's why I couldn't do it with my mom.
43:59When we're all having fun
44:01and making a work together,
44:03it's a team and a work
44:05that makes me want to do it again.
44:08I hope people who are watching
44:11can feel that the work is fun.
44:16My mom always says,
44:18why can't I do it?
44:20But I hope I can do it
44:22because I couldn't do it with my mom.
44:28It's a job called an actor
44:30that his mother let him meet.
44:33This job, this life,
44:36he enjoys it for his mother.
44:39He believes it's the best reward for his mother.
44:47That scene was really good.
44:49It's rare to see such a long silence.
44:54I didn't expect it to be this long.
44:57After that, Muzui was amazing.
45:00It was amazing.
45:01But Tanaka-san's humanity
45:04was incorporated there.
45:06It was good.
