In the past two years, in the Japanese showbiz, it is more and more common for many actors to develop into lovers after cooperation, because during the shooting period of several months, it is easy for actors to spark through daily meetings and frequent contacts.
There are even a few couples who have entered the marriage hall, such as Yui Niigaki & Hoshino Gen, Komatsu Naina & Sugata Shoko, Yuko Oshima & Hayashi Shudo, etc. who married last year.
This week, another pair was exposed to love because of drama.
According to Japanese media reports, Seki 8 member Tadao Ōkura (36 years old) is in love with actress Alice Hirose (27 years old).
Tadaoyoshi Okura and Alice Hirose worked together on the Japanese drama "The Wife I Met" in early 2021, thus bringing them closer together, as both love to drink and keep in touch after filming.
According to reports, Okura often drinks alone at home, and Hirose also likes shochu very much, and acquaintances who know the two people well revealed: "In the process of drinking and eating together, the relationship between each other seems to be very deep, attracting each other." For the cheerful and lively Ms. Hirose, Mr. Okura is very good at listening. It's a very good match."
According to people familiar with the matter, the distance between the two shortened a little during the filming of the TV series: "Although the schedule is very hard, the two people say 'come on' to each other."
During the severe period of the new crown epidemic, they have supported each other through the difficulties, and the two have been in a relationship for half a year.
Both belong to the indoor faction, and now they rarely go out because of the epidemic, mainly enjoying dating at home. A friend said, "Going out for dinner and going on a date once in a while is a little fun for two people. In order not to let others see, you will also enjoy the fun of riding."
The reporter interviewed the brokerage company to which the two belonged, and The Janis firm made an "unable to respond" response as always.
For idol artists, not responding to (not acknowledging) a relationship is a big public relations method, and everyone will forget it after 75 days, but this time the other party is also an artist, and Hirose Alice's office has made: "Personal affairs are handled by the artist himself." Usually such a response is to acquiesce to the relationship.
Let's introduce the two protagonists.
Okura tadayoshi (Okura tadayoshi), born in Osaka on May 16, 1985, runs a yakiniku brand with more than 400 restaurants, "Bird Noble", so many fans call him "Grilled Bird".
Tadaoyoshi Okura joined Janis In 1997 and subsequently debuted as a member of Seki 8.
In terms of film and television dramas, he has starred in "Da'ao", "Lucky Lover Grass", "The Count of Monte Cristo - Gorgeous Revenge", "Jitter S Police", "Cheese Dream of the Poor Rat" and other works.
In the past, Okura Tadaoyoshi has been filmed in a number of actresses, such as Komatsu Saeka, Seina, and Yoshitaka Yuriko.
Among them, Yuriko Yoshitaka, who was in contact with 2016 and 2018, was also rumored to be planning to get married.
Hirose Alice (born December 11, 1994 in Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan) was discovered in the 6th grade of elementary school.
Hirose's sister Suzu Hirose is also an actress who is active in film and television dramas today.
Her younger sister Suzu Hirose was attracted by kore-eda's film The Diary of Sea Street, and she was highly popular and an actress of the starring level.
Sister Alice has also caught up in the past two years, and has more and more often played important roles in Japanese dramas, such as "7 Secretaries", "Radiation Therapy Room", "Wife I Know" and so on.
She has a particularly high audience and is one of the actresses with the largest number of advertisements in Japan today.
In terms of past romances, Alice Hirose was exposed in 2017 to be associated with basketball player Daiki Tanaka, and then publicly admitted to the relationship.
The two broke up last summer after a relationship of 3.5 years.
The following Istanabe Jun focuses on the Japanese drama "The Wife Who Knows" that made Okura Tadaoyoshi and Hirose Alice get acquainted, and I personally like this drama and convey some of the true meaning of marriage.
In the play, the two are playing a couple.
Bank clerk Motoharu Kenzaki (played by Tadao Ōkura) and his beautiful wife Kenzaki (played by Alice Hirose) have been married for 5 years and have a son and a daughter.
In the eyes of outsiders, the male protagonist is a winner in life, but he feels that he is extremely bitter.
Not favored by the boss, but also in the face of all kinds of strange customers, back home there is a wife like a tigress.
Many times he felt that he had done nothing wrong, was scolded by his wife, and did not listen to his own explanations at all.
The couple quarreled every day, making him feel that he had become a philosopher as Socrates said, and attributing the reason for his inability to get ahead of his wife, so he wanted to divorce every minute.
One day, he was given the opportunity to travel back to 10 years ago, and he decided not to associate with his wife anymore, but to be with the rich second generation student who had admired him.
After returning to 10 years, he found that the person lying next to him was Xuemei, that is, Xuemei became his wife.
Then, as fatefully, he met his original wife again, met her from another angle, realized that it was because of his wife that he became irritable, and fell in love with her again.
The male protagonist is deeply remorseful for not cherishing the female protagonist, but at this time he is someone else's husband, and the relationship between the two is very delicate, which makes him very contradictory...
The good thing about this play is that through the reflection and awakening of the male protagonist, it deepens the theme: the understanding that husband and wife need empathy, and if there is no determination and ability to care for marriage, no one can get happiness if the partner changes.
There is also a truth: the way to solve the problem is not to escape, but to recognize your own problems and face the problems and change yourself.
This is not a very popular drama department House Jun's quite recommended, but also contributed to the two actors together, it can be seen that the plot makes the actors also quite into the play.
