TOKYO LOVE STORY
Tokyo love story for 30 years
On January 7, 1991, Japan's Fuji Tv broadcast "Tokyo Love Story", 30 years later, the Japanese era number from "Heisei" to "Reiwa", Akamei Rika and Nagao Complete's regrettable love, still can not let go.
30 years later, the standard of love has also changed, according to the current view of the Three Views Party, Li Xiang is a "as" woman, Guanzhi is a "scum" man, Rimi "green tea", and Mikami is a "scumbag-type licking dog".
But so what? Big V "Anti-Pants Front" said: "'Tokyo Love Story', Li Xiang is the kind of urban woman we have always admired." I can afford to put it down, love madly, cry in a broken state, and finally turn around to achieve myself in a broader world, and many years later I met a man I loved deeply on the street and his gentle wife, I still have an elegant posture and a bright smile, and I said from the bottom of my heart: I loved you, goodbye. This is the real way not to think about the past and not to fear the future. ”
"If you meet Rika Akamei on the streets of Tokyo, tell her I love her."
"Maruko, Maruko"
For China's post-70s and post-80s, these are two love joint codes, which come from a distant 30 years ago.
There are many fans who will go to the scene of the play to punch the clock, the company that works together in the play, the male and female protagonists shouting to prepare to turn around and say goodbye together, the Yoyogi Square where Li Xiang left by train in advance, the seaside station Umezuji Station where Li Xiang left by train, or the continent where li xiang sent postcards to the shrine in her hometown and the postbox where Li Xiang sent postcards, and walked the road that Li Xiang walked.
Tokyo Love Story takes place in 1991 and is based on the manga of the same name by Fuji Television in Japan and consists of 11 episodes.
The drama is co-directed by Kozo Nagayama and Ouhiko Honma, with Yuji Oda and Honaki Honami as the male and female protagonists, and Yosuke Eguchi and Arimori are actually the second male and female protagonists.
The story is actually a polyamorous love:
Nagao, a small-town young man from the prefecture who travels to Tokyo, is often cared for by Akana Rika, a fashionable girl who returns from the United States, a new colleague of the company;
Seiguchi Rimi, a girl who had a crush on Heraguchi in high school, but her heart is toward Kenichi Mikami, a medical university student who is also a high school classmate;
At the same time as Guanzhi and Lixiang work, Lixiang's care for Guanye has finally knocked Out Ofe's heart;
Just as The two of them are living a sweet life, Mikami and Rimi insert Mikami's female classmate Naoko, and although Naoko has a fiancé, she is eager to break mikami;
Finally, Rimi learns about Mikami and Naoko, and when she is heartbroken, the only person who comforts her around her is Wanzhi, and Rimi realizes that she originally loved Wanji;
Li Xiang did not want to be oppressed by many parties, and knew that this love was irretrievable, and resolutely disappeared from the world;
After returning to his hometown to find Li Xiang and officially breaking up with her, Li Xiang cried sadly on the train and went to work in the United States;
Three years later, on the day of Mikami's official marriage to Naoko, The Completer and Rimi, who have become a couple, meet Rika on their way home...
Japan in the 1990s actually bore some resemblance to today's China: the bubble economy had not yet collapsed, and people were indulging in pleasure, spending a lot of money on love, and pursuing a fashionable and eye-catching life. In the bustling cubicle of Ginza, Tokyo, people's desires are full of fame, money, and status, but their hearts still long to love and be loved.
Yuji Sakamoto, a screenwriter who was only 23 years old at the time, sensitively grasped this emotion, saying: "What I wanted to portray was a free and self-reliant person, so I had an image like Li Xiang. I hope to make a work that will move female audiences to cry." The price he paid for this was that he was mostly locked up in the hotel by the director, relying on the role of energy drinks to continue writing.
In the end, completely different from the "Yamato Fumiko" type of woman in Japan, the enthusiastic and bold Li Xiang appeared, she is the representative of avant-garde and advanced women, always wrapped in men in romantic relationships, and on the one hand, it is completely in line with the fantasies of Asian men for the ideal woman: well-behaved, loyal, understanding and generous.
To use the answer of Zhihu Gaozan
"She knows everything, but she's still so naïve."
Such an image touched the hearts of Japanese audiences, when it was broadcast in Japan that year, the rating exceeded 20%, and the ending was as high as 32.3%, triggering the chase of "white-collar women can not be seen in Ginza at 9 o'clock on Monday night", which is known as "the ninth of the month does not go out". In 2010, the Japanese media held the most wanted to revisit the "Moon 9 BEST10" vote, "Tokyo Love Story" easily won the championship.
Japanese singer Kazumasa Oda composed the theme song "Sudden Love", which sold 2.7 million copies (the eighth largest in Japanese history). Some people even say that there is no one in Japan who does not sing this song.
Although china did not officially introduce the film until 1995, as early as 1992, hong Kong satellite TV Chinese brought this love TV series to the family that could secretly watch it with a pot at that time. Introduced in 1995, "Tokyo Love Story" was produced by the Translation and Production Department of Shanghai Television.
The voice of "Li Xiang" is the famous Shanghai voice actor Mei Mei, the voice of "Wanzhi" is Xia Zhiqing, and the voice of "Sanshang" is Liu Jiazhen, the host of Shanghai TELEVISION. In the 1990s, the Shanghai Television recording studio was in harsh condition, with gaps in the ceiling and the occasional rat inside. The actors recorded below, and as soon as there was movement, the rats came out.
When the real record is real, as soon as the mouse moves, it is even a white record. Everyone had to make fun of it: "Such a beautiful TV series, even the rats can't help but come out of the nest to watch."
After the TV series aired, Mei Mei, who voiced Rika, received many letters from the audience, and many years later, Higashi fans found that her business was so similar to Suzuki's Ho nami.
The boom triggered by "Tokyo Love Story" has also had a great impact on the production of domestic TV dramas, and the "Love to the End" broadcast in 1998 has the shadow of a Japanese idol drama from the choice of actors, the structure of the script, and the production method, and the story is actually a remake of Shibamon's "Love White Paper".
This movie has won li yapeng and Xu Jinglei and other actors, and of course, it has also won the director Zhang Yibai.
The screenwriter of this TV series, Diao Yinan, who made "Daytime Fireworks" and "The Party at South Station", also admitted that the script writing process did refer to "Tokyo Love Story" and "Love White Paper", of course, "Long Holiday" and "In the Name of Love".
Perhaps, Diao Yinan learned the essence of Japanese drama at that time:
So beautiful, so cruel
Nanami Suzuki, who was 25 years old at the time, did not want to play Li Xiang when she first received the script, and she did not like such a cute role that was too emotional.
I thought that her life was the opposite of Li Xiang.'s
Suzuki Ho nami graduated from Kamakura Prefectural High School in Kanagawa Prefecture, yes, the prototype of the Lingnan High School in "Slam Dunk Master", the location near the school is the famous railway crossing, and many years later, Suzuki Ho Nami said in tokio kakeru, "This is the place I miss the most." Because whenever she was in a bad mood, she would come here to relax and chat with friends.
It is said that when Yuhiko Inoue began painting "Slam Dunk Master" in 1993, it was Akagi Haruko who was compared to Nanami Suzuki.
In fact, Suzuki Ho nami's high school life was not so good, because she had O-shaped legs and a fat lower body, so she never dared to talk to people. Especially boys. Once, when a boy from the school came to talk to her, Suzuki Ho Nami stuttered on the spot and did not know how to speak. Because of this experience, she will stutter when she meets male classmates in the future, which is completely opposite to Li Xiang's personality.
Another time, she went to a community summer camp. During the event, a senior knocked on a watermelon, and Nanami Suzuki stood by to watch, wearing white shoes. Just as she was in a daze, a piece of debris suddenly flew over, it was a watermelon peel. Suzuki Ho nami instinctively stepped back, but not fast enough and was hit by a watermelon. The watermelon landed right on her white sneakers, and the bright red watermelon juice spread on the white shoes, spreading little by little, and before long, half of the shoes were stained red. After this time, Suzuki Ho nami no longer wanted to eat watermelon.
In her sophomore year of high school, she participated in the ninth company's new talent selection and unexpectedly won a special award. Later, in order to earn travel expenses in Hawaii, she participated in the kanebo competition. Because of her beautiful appearance, Suzuki Ho nami stood out from thousands of people and became a Kanebo advertising star.
In her first year as a Kanebo advertising star, she filmed "おんな風林 Volcano" as takeda Nobuhiro's daughter. This is the first drama in The Life of Nanami Suzuki. Because of its fresh and lovely appearance, it has gained a large number of fans. Later, he made three plays, "The Poetry of Little Noose", "You Lie" and "Cocktail Special".
Because of these dramas, Suzuki Ho nami officially debuted, at that time, she was in the third year of Sungjo University, because there were too many dramas, there was no time to take care of her studies, so she simply took a break. Although this decision was unanimously opposed by her teachers, it was not long before Nanami Suzuki received the opportunity to star in "Tokyo Love Story".
In the play, Nanami Suzuki plays the heroine Akama Rika, who loves Nagao with all her heart and respects the choices made by the other party. She is passionate and bold, persistent and independent in her treatment of love, warm when she loves, and free when she lets go. It can be said that it has influenced the concept of love of a generation.
You know, even in Asia today, Li Xiang innocently and frankly expressed: "Let's have sex!" She was too brave and naïve, not only the first love goddess of all men at that time, but also the object of imitation by Japanese girls.
After Suzuki Ho nami became popular, she soon fell into a scandal, the man was the gold medal producer of "Tokyo Love Story" Mostly Liang, the problem was that at that time, most of the liang was a husband with a wife, and the media reported that they were "unrequited love", most of the light was the same as the completion of the play, did not dare to issue a word, and Suzuki Ho Nami dared to stand up and say:
"Most of the liang for me, only the relationship between the seniors to take care of the younger generations, moreover, most of the ladies are my sisters at Chengcheng University, and I will not do anything stupid to her to rebel."
When I was a teenager, my mother once taught me, "Don't hurt a family for the sake of a person", I will remember this sentence in this life and this life, please don't think about it, or watch me act well!" 」
Not long after, Nanami Suzuki was photographed by the media for the second relationship, which was aimed at Yosuke Edguchi in the "Tokyo Love Story", but even if the two tried on their wedding dresses, Japanese magazines still firmly believed that Yosuke Eguchi was mostly a smoke bomb under the light, in order to cover up his relationship with Suzuki Honami, so as not to ruin the two of them' acting careers.
Sure enough, the plot between the two quickly broke out almost similar to that of "Tokyo Love Story": Xiao San and Xiao Si were all together, and the second daughter was Suzuki Almond, a Japanese idol drama actor, famous for playing "Love White Paper". The second male is Suzuki Frank, a Japanese-French mixed racer whose complexity is comparable to that of Tokyo Love Story.
Before the Conan-like Japanese media could deduce the truth, Nanami Suzuki suddenly announced that she was getting married, not Ryo Mostly, not Yosuke Eguchi, not Frank Suzuki, but a man named Kazuhito Kawai.
Nanami Suzuki met Kazuhito Kawai because of the drama "Love All Stacked". At that time, after the end of the play, Suzuki Ho nami, as the representative of the actor, was invited by Fuji TV to go to Monaco with the group. The person in charge of this interview group is Kazuhito Kawai. After arriving in Monaco, they went to see Suzuki Frank's racing car together.
Kazuhito Kawai found his friend Suzumoto Frank as a cover, which is why there was such a scandal.
After the marriage, the reporter asked her how she felt, and Suzuki Ho nami smiled and said, "In my heart, Li Xiang is a girl who has zero heart, is full of love, and can give everything unconditionally for love." She's very persistent, she's also stubborn, and she has some perfectionism when it comes to love. In fact, I am like this, and I have many requirements for the people I want."
In 1998, Nanami Suzuki starred in "News Girl", becoming a female anchor with self-confidence and strength on the surface, and a fragile and lonely heart. The rivalry between her and Hideaki Takizawa, who was still an adult at the time, was full of ambiguous sparks, making it another classic in the history of Japanese drama.
A year after her first marriage ended, she met funny entertainer Takaaki Ishibashi, and the two quickly fell in love, got engaged in a high-profile manner, and officially married in 1998. In Japan at that time, it was believed that Suzuki Ho nami was absolutely married, because Takaaki Ishibashi was a very general presence among funny artists.
Let's take an analogy that audiences can understand now
It is equivalent to Zhao Liying marrying Gao Xiaopan
What is even more unexpected is that after marriage, Suzuki Ho nami washed and cooked, taught her husband and son, and gave birth to three daughters. In this way, she lived peacefully for 10 years and never set foot in the entertainment industry. In 2008, Nanami Suzuki chose to make a comeback, supposedly because Nanami Suzuki and Takaaki Ishibashi had long since separated, and she lived alone in the apartment, while Takaaki Ishibashi never returned home. Takaaki Ishibashi is a typical classical brainer, believing that his wife should be at home to teach her children, and has always opposed the comeback of Nanami Suzuki. But Ishibashi Takaaki himself loves nightlife, so the marriage between the two has also come to the brink of rupture.
Suzuki Hoami's comeback did not go well, first participating in the TV series "Sengoku of the Princesses", in which she began to play the role of mother, but at this time in Japan, it was already the world of Yui Niigaki and Rimi Ishihara, she could only play some roles that did not lead the role, although in 2018, she participated in the TV series "The Golden Lawyer", and cooperated again with the male protagonist Oda Yuji of "Tokyo Love Story", briefly winning the first place in the ratings.
Suzuki Ho nami is indifferent, shooting when there is a scene, traveling with children without drama, she said: "In the past, I didn't like to be a star at all, and I felt that I would never come back... Now I have a family, but I am still myself in my life. So I need to think about what I can do."
When she said this, she seemed to return to Li Xiang, who said, "It doesn't matter, whatever you're doing, I'm myself."
At the time, 24-year-old Oda Yuji was not originally the first choice for the role of Kanji, he was only substituted when the original male protagonist Naoto Ogata temporarily opened the skylight.
Oda Yuji was born in 1967 to a middle-class family in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. Since childhood, his skin has been dark, and he has always been focused on filming, and once said that "the skin of boys now is too white."
Oda Yuji calls himself a "Showa boy" and rarely sheds tears, and he can't cry when he first debuted in the crying scenes written on the script. His hobbies include golf, fishing, bird watching, and racing. When he was admonished, he once said: "There are all kinds of dangers in daily life, and there are dangers in life, so why can't you do what you want to do?"
Most interestingly, Oda Has been co-hosting the TBS live sports show World Athletics since 1997 with Miho Nakai. Because of the need to use English in interviews, he once lamented: "It was good to learn English at that time." He interviewed Bolt several times and thought he was an interesting and good man with an ideal of more than just being the "first man in the world in athletics".
Such a person is completely different from the hesitant Nagao Completed Rule.
After graduating from high school, Oda entered the University of Pittsburgh Japan to study English, but halfway through his freshman year, he chose to drop out because he wanted to be an actor. In a report to his family, Oda explained, "I chose to learn English first because I didn't think about what to do. Now I have something I want to do, and I don't need English for this."
In 1987, Oda Yuji officially debuted through the manga adaptation film Shonan RiotErn. During the audition for the film, the producer asked Oda what his specialty was, and Oda blurted out: "Fight". He said that when he got the audition script that day, he had a small friction with the opponent actor, and the scene just happened to be the atmosphere of a fight.
Oda Yuji emerged from tens of thousands of auditions to take the role of male number two, Akira Ishikawa. In order to play this role, Oda Yuji deliberately obtained a motorcycle driver's license, and then dyed bad juvenile yellow hair, recalling the scene of that year, he laughed and said: "At that time, the popularity was still black hair, and every time I got on the car, I used my hat to suppress my hair, but I couldn't stop it, especially caring about the eyes of the people around me."
Of course, what really made Oda Yuji a popular student was Nagao Kenji in "Tokyo Love Story", but Oda, who became popular, expressed a lot of dissatisfaction with his acting skills when looking back on the play: "As the story line moves forward, I feel that the gap between the original, the script and my own understanding is getting bigger and bigger, and the result is that I almost completed the second half of the plot in a half-way mentality, and the performance was a failure." 」
After that, Oda Yuji needed to find a new height in acting skills, becoming the king of Japanese TV dramas comparable to Takuya Kimura, with zhihu's evaluation:
He was a standard handsome man under the Japanese aesthetics of the old era, and a representative of the masculine traditional school. As an actor, he portrays characters that are memorable. He can be the cowardly Kenji in Tokyo's love story, which is actually difficult to play, but he grasps it very well. He could also look back and see the cold doctor in him, and Sima Jiangtaro, who maintained a hint of gentleness in his heart. He can also search the sunny Qingdao inside, giving people an infinite sense of warmth and justice.
However, Oda Yuji's private life broke the hearts of Suzuki Ho nami and Yuji's CP. In 2010, when Yuji Oda's agency announced that he and his 30-year-old girlfriend had registered their marriage on August 16.
The reporter of the Tokyo Sports News actually wrote:
The marriage is nominal, and Oda's real lover is singer Ken Hirai.
The newspaper reporter said that after the news of Oda's marriage was exposed, many peers and gay men in Tokyo circle held a disbelief attitude
"I was shocked that rumors of his association with Ken Hirai had been there at least 5 years ago", "and there are even rumors that the two have been in love for many years and plan to have a secret wedding in California or Hawaii, USA". One of the dancers revealed that "they got married in 2009." The eyewitness information about Oda and Heoi Ken's date is as high as "Mountain", but since it has not been photographed by paparazzi, everything remains at the level of "rumor". "Many years ago, I saw Oda and Hirai chatting at coffee shops around Roppongi many times, and the relationship was quite close, and the news about their dragging was heard a long time ago," said a homosexual who lives nearby.
The vicious, faster-running Japanese journalist described these
Oda, 37, still single, and he and Ken Hirai have dated each other several times in the Azabu area of Tokyo, feeding each other to dinner, touching each other's shoulders and hands from time to time, and he has been wandering in San Francisco gay bars several times
Oda Yuji currently can not contract the anus normally, he has frequent contact with a well-known male athlete, privately suffering from hemorrhoids and weakness, as long as there is a slight intention, he has to report to the toilet, otherwise he can't help but flood on the spot.
Oda went to a small clinic in Tokyo this spring to treat hemorrhoids. His anus is sagging and can be easily tucked into a bottle with a capacity of 500 ml. Because the anus is too dilated, there will often be poop leaking out of the anus when walking, if you feel that you want to get on the large size, you must solve it within 15 minutes, otherwise it will be directly on the pants, which is very inconvenient, so the amount of filming has been greatly reduced recently.
Oda, who hosts the World Athletics show, has a close relationship with a shot put player, and their relationship with the show's staff is an open secret.
Oda has not acknowledged these rumors to this day, explaining that the so-called rumors of entering the hospital are only because of the recurrence of old injuries in previous car accidents, and the reason for not filming for a long time is also because of injuries.
Besides, Oda Yuji had a girlfriend, Takako Tokiwa, and then a wife and children, so it was impossible to think about it.
It's another interesting story to say: during the broadcast of "Tokyo Love Story", fans once threatened that "if Li Xiang can't finally be with Kenji, we will set fire to the TV station", and finally Kenji chose the traditional female Rimi, which made many people sigh.
Later, Oda Yuji, who played The Complete Rule, had a scene in "Jumping the Great Search Line", where he and his friends watched "Tokyo Love Story", and as Li Xiang confessed to Maruko, Oda said, "That guy is so upset!" The audience sighed: "Hearing his words is also satisfactory."
Sekiguchi Rimi's actor Yuki Mori, although she is "hating a married woman" in the play, eventually enters the palace of marriage, but in reality, she has never been married. She said that she actually has a lot of low self-esteem, "maybe it is not suitable for marriage at all", afraid of starting a family, and has no intention of getting married, and it is good to experience the feeling of home in the role.
At the age of 23, Arimori starred in "Tokyo Love Story", playing Rimi, the second female who snatched love with yokozuna.
According to herself, she did not like a woman with the personality of Rimi, who oscillated and indecisive between Nagao and Mikami, which was completely different from her own decisive personality.
However, she still portrayed the character of Rimi so well that the people who wanted Rika and Kenji to be together poured out their anger on her.
Someone wrote to her saying, "Go and die," someone sent her scissors, and even when she was walking on the road, someone threw her a stone!
Speaking of the other three protagonists at the time, Yumori commented, "Suzuki Honami has an intellectual beauty. Oda Yuji is very serious and often pulls me to my lines during breaks. Yosuke Eguchi is very cute and always enlivens the atmosphere."
Yosuke Educhi, the male, has been a model couple in the circle for 21 years after marrying his wife Mori Takachiri. In fact, before this, Yosuke Eguchi also had a meteor-like relationship, and the object was Noneori Suzuki. The news of the two traveling together and trying to get married was reported, but they broke up.
The following year, Yosuke Eguchi's goddess idol singer Chiari Mori taka had to form a temporary band for a disaster relief performance, and he offered himself to become a guitarist, so he was able to marry Chiari Moriko.
Yosuke Eguchi and Chisato Moriko have been married for 21 years and have been very affectionate, but in 2016, Yosuke Eguchi had a scandal when he and Ryoko Shinohara, an actress he had worked with, were photographed on a late-night date, went to a barbecue together until late at night, and later walked arm in arm to another restaurant nearby.
After starring in "Tokyo Love Story", Yosuke Eguchi starred in "The 101st Marriage Proposal", "In the Name of Love", "Under the Same Roof", "24 Hours of Life-Saving Ward", "White Tower" and other dramas, each of which is a classic.
On May 1, 2019, Japan entered the Reiwa era. From 1989 to 2019, the Heisei era of 11,070 days is over.
Thirty years on, Japan's GDP per capita has fallen from 2nd in the world in 1990 to 26th. In 2018, of the top 50 companies by market capitalization in the world, Only Toyota was in Japan, ranking 35th, while the United States and China had 31 and 7 companies on the list, respectively.
From the 1990s to the present, it has been Japan's "30 years of decline", from the golden age of the heyday to the post-bubble economic decline, young people have become the bearers of social transformation, especially young women.
At that time, the "Tokyo Love Story" became "Tokyo Women's Picture Book", this time, from a small place to Tokyo, it is the heroine Aya who came to Tokyo from a small place to work hard, her ideal is to marry a rich man as a noblewoman, and in reality, she either works all the way like in the play, lonely, or resigns to marry and have children, becoming a member of the ordinary middle class.
And 30 years ago, Li Xiang did not care about what rent, high-end restaurants and designer bags, love was the only theme, she also had a line: "No matter how many enemies there are in the world, as long as there is love, any difficulties can be solved." 」
It was a good time, there was bread everywhere, and young people just had to try to love.
In China, the concept of love is also changing, China's young people in just a few years, experienced from the crowd of entrepreneurship to leeks cognitive cliff, traditional values, even feudal values, has become the only straw for young people who dare not and can no longer love, so the three views of the party into the literary and artistic film and television industry.
Jin Yucheng, author of the novel "Blossoms" and winner of the Mao Dun Literature Prize, said in an interview with "Thirteen Invitations" that young readers are particularly sensitive to "three views are not correct".
He believes that the term "scumbag" is too childish to cover complex human nature.
Man himself is a very complex thing, and I especially don't like such a thing when you take such a complex change of human nature and cover it in such a low-energy sentence.
Maybe today's houlang still can't understand that love has nothing to do with right or wrong.
In their eyes, "Tokyo Love Story", which is a scumbag of men and women, is still a classic for thirty years, because it praises the bravery of love, and it also tolerates the cowardice of love, it does not have an either-or diode thinking, and some are just infinite praise for people in love. Li Xiang's lines 30 years ago are still shining today:
"The so-called love, as long as it is participated in, it is meaningful, even if there is no ending." The moment you like it, it never goes away. At that moment, it was the courage of life, the light of the night."
As Sister Yuan said- "Even if we can't love, even if we are always lonely, we are still learning Akamei Lixiang - learning to repair ourselves in pain, constantly upgrading ourselves, so we will always shine, because our hearts are strong, life is rich, so we can always give, running in an orderly manner on an independent and self-consistent track, crossing anyone's sky, is a dazzling fire." ”
