What is the origin of the "ordinary man" who marries the national goddess?
I believe that the marriage news of Hoshino Gen and Niigaki has made everyone sleepless all night for a few days.
According to Japanese media speculation, if the two perform CM together after marriage, they will have an income of 100 million yen, becoming one of the most expensive couples in the show business circle.
Hoshino Gen, once rated by the Japanese media as "having the average appearance of an ordinary man", has now embraced a beautiful person and has become the most enviable and hateful person this year.
So what is his origin and charm that can attract the favor of the national goddess?
In fact, before the marriage news, Hoshino Yuan, who achieved phenomenal popularity with "Shameful but Useful Escape", has successfully attracted the attention of the Japanese media, dissecting the reason why he is "not a handsome guy but can be very popular".
In the final analysis, these reasons can be summed up as "even if his appearance is not proud, but his strength is extraordinary"; "even if he has experienced great winds and waves and has the most colorful side of human nature, he can be frank and unadorned".
And today's success is something that Hoshinogen couldn't hope for when he was a child.
The bumpy and bleak experience of youth
Hoshino was born in 1981 to an ordinary family in Saitama Prefecture.
His parents run a vegetable shop and love music very much, and Hoshino grew up with the taste of fruits and vegetables and the influence of music, and his personality was innocent and cheerful.
Unfortunately, he suffered from long-term school violence from the third grade of elementary school. The reason why he was bullied was only because he accidentally ate the wrong thing and diarrhea, was found by other classmates, and then was teased and bullied.
The prolonged period of school violence caused him great psychological trauma, and he was later diagnosed with "panic disorder" and had to continue to take tranquilizers.
The shadow of childhood does not disappear completely until puberty, but becomes more serious.
In high school, he was afraid to go to school, stayed at home all day, and later realized that he had an anxiety disorder and spent every day in a state of loss of concentration, panic and despair.
He thought he would spend his life like this until he heard TheRazy Cats music.
In Hoshino's own words, Crazy Cats' music is like a lifeline, saving itself from the abyss.
In The Music of The Crazy Cats, he gains strength. Therefore, he had the idea of entering the show business circle, hoping that he could also bring such power to others.
After graduating from high school, he lived independently, studying acting while working.
In 2003, he participated in the audition of the actors of the "Adult Project" troupe and defected to the master Matsuo Suzuki, whom he had admired for a long time, as an opportunity to start his acting career.
On stage, he accumulated a lot of experience, but also released his own mood that had been suppressed for many years.
Even if he looks ordinary, the strength of the performance is beginning to show. Seven years later, with his constant skilled acting skills, he was given a valuable opportunity to star in a TV series.
In 2010, Hoshino came to prominence as a morning drama "Strange Wife", and audiences began to take an interest in the seemingly unremarkable actor.
At the same time, he has always been unconfident in his appearance and singing voice, and he is quite inferior inside, and with the encouragement of his idol Haruhito Hosono, he decided to debut as a singer.
However, just when his performance and music career were on the rise, a bumpy fate once again befell him.
In 2012, Hoshino was suddenly unwell during the recording and was urgently admitted to the hospital after he was diagnosed with "subarachnoid hemorrhage." He had to suspend all his work, became ill repeatedly, and was even life-threatening at one point.
In the process, he underwent an unusually complex 8-hour craniotomy and a series of physical and mental pains that were difficult for others to understand. He had felt hopeless:
"I've had enough of jumping out of a window, trying to commit suicide, this life like torture."
Even so, he persevered with his own strong beliefs:
"Even if I'm in the depths of hell, I have to climb up."
After a year or two of treatment, Hoshino finally recovered. This experience of "walking through the ghost gate" made his life appear more abundant, and also made him have a more delicate and unique experience of life and life.
Talented multi-habitat entertainers
Hoshino is not an overnight artist, and his achievements today all depend on his own hard work and accumulation from discouragement.
The comeback hoshino source began to usher in the full blossom of his career, and achieved good results in the fields of music, film and television, literature, radio and so on.
In 2015, he ushered in the full success of his music career with a song full of vitality, "Sun". And took this as an opportunity to appear in the Red and White Song Festival, and has appeared for six consecutive years since then.
In 2016, with "Love", he became popular all over Asia and ushered in a phenomenon-level explosion.
In 2018, he composed the theme song for Doraemon's theatrical version of Nobita's Treasure Island, which was well received.
In the same year, he embarked on the Five Dome Tour, and he became the fifth male Solo singer in the Japanese music scene to embark on the Five Domes in Japan after Yoshiyuki Kuwata, Kazumasa Oda, Masaharu Fukuyama, and ATSUSHI.
He is praised by the outside world as the "male Solo Light". The music has won numerous awards, is a regular on major charts, and is very guaranteed in terms of sales. Even Hideo Kojima is a big fan of him, including his famous song "POP VIRUS" in the game.
His extraordinary musical talent is admirable. Even if he doesn't know staves, he can write delicate music that touches people's hearts, and he can also assume the role of the chief conductor of a live band.
He has his own band, SAKEROCK, in which he serves as lead singer and guitarist, and the marimba, which is played live at the show, has a personal character.
Hoshino's musical characteristics lie in the fact that he sings the emotions of ordinary life with the heart of a child, even if the reality is cruel, but he knows how to treat everything with a grateful and inclusive heart.
In music, he captures the essence of human nature in a unique way.
In terms of acting, he is also talented and is a very personal actor.
He won the Newcomer Award at the Japan Film Critics Award for "Otaku Love" and the Japan Academy Award for Newcomer for his role as a coward in Why Hell Is So Bad.
His vision of picking the script is quite unique, and the type of role he plays is not repeated.
In "Obstetrician Bird", he is a serious doctor who does not smile, and in the hot Japanese drama "MIU404", he becomes a calm and rational Shima on the outside and fiery and righteous on the inside.
The role of Shima is the most three-dimensional and contradictory of the roles he has encountered so far, for this role, Hoshino Gen contributed to the "plastic surgery level" acting skills, whether it is in the face of the death of his former partner who cannot be relieved, or to deal with various people and things that conflict with human nature and justice, "Shima" played by Hoshino Gen, can always bring out a cold enthusiasm.
In addition, of course, it must be mentioned that he starred in "Escape Shameful but Useful". In this drama-ridden work, he plays a cute herbivorous programmer who has successfully made it out of the loop.
His acting skills are too natural and smooth, and he has a sense of reality that is difficult to hide, so that many people think that he himself is also a herbivorous talent, and the "herbivorous" human design seems to be erected.
At this moment, someone fiercely overturned Hoshino's similar "herbivorous" human design, not the Japanese media nor the outside world, but Hoshino's own.
It looks like a herbivore, but it's actually meat
Hoshino never shy away from talking about "sex" in public.
As early as the camera of "Hot Continent", he unabashedly confessed that he would go to adult film lines and watch adult films when he had no itinerary.
He often drives late at night on his radio shows, which is quite large, and the topic of #HoshinoYuan ANN# is often on Twitter.
In the book, he would list his favorite Gongkou women's worries and their masterpieces, and reveal which custom shops he went to and when.
In addition, there are many artists who have passed on the gossip with him: singer Aiko, Fumi Nijido, Xia Fan, etc., and even written small essays by the Japanese media, extended with women's lyrics, insinuations that accuse him of being a "scumbag".
The so-called "food color also" does not mean that he deserves to be praised for talking about sex and feelings openly, but in this regard, he has never marketed any of his own designs, and he is quite frank about sensitive topics that everyone dare not say clearly. At least it is more honest than the "fearful woman" and "virgin" person who set up and then overturned.
As for the clues of his association with Gakki, the Japanese media has long reported that after "Escape Is Shameful but Useful", Hoshino Gen moved in order to be a neighbor with Gakki.
In his book "Looking Out of the Window of Life", Hoshino Also publicly expressed his praise for Gakki:
"In the process of getting along, I found that she was sincere at work, and she had a precious temperament that most actors don't have. She didn't have a little bit of a big star shelf. I've always liked to praise people and find sparkles in them. I didn't say a word of praise, and I just praised it if I wanted to, but she told me that she wasn't used to being praised by others.
Although it was a pleasure to be praised, it was still too embarrassing. Please don't praise me anymore. She told her so.
So I had to secretly write down my praise for her here. You are really a very good, ordinary girl. ”
Nowadays, some careful netizens have found that the song "Kids" of HoshinoYuan was written for Gakki.
Respecting women and knowing how to praise women sincerely, or that's one of Hoshino's charms.
Hoshino Gen has the delicate gentleness of an artist and the funny humor of his brain, he once said, "I am not the kind of person who can't live without a job, but I am very happy to work, but I still want to be lazy and play as much as possible." ”
"Life kisses me bitterly, but I return it with a song", this sentence is most appropriate to describe Hoshino Gen. After experiencing many major changes in his life, and even facing death many times, he chose to throw away all his pains and embrace everything more sunny, becoming more active and interesting, and calm.
In fact, marriage has always been a matter of two people, and for a public figure like Gakki, who has a high degree of national favorability, he actually has the right to "pursue his own happiness without worry".
Even though many people have a slight criticism of Hoshino's ordinary appearance, he himself is definitely not ordinary.
I hope that after marriage, they can continue to launch more good works in their respective fields.
