A japanese character note - Tetsuko Kuroyanagi

Actor, writer, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, Director of the Museum, Chairman of the Welfare Corporation Fund, Honorary President of the Japan Panda Conservation Association, etc... Tetsuko Kuroyanagi has a lot of halo titles. We Chinese should be familiar with her book "The Little Bean by the Window".

"These are not forced by anyone to do it, they are doing it because they like it and want to do it, so there will be no hard work, no desire to do it, and so on." Tetsuko Kuroyanagi said.

Here are the geniuses who can discover their talents - Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's "learning", "adventurousness", and "curiosity", which are summarized according to her various ages:

〇ties ~

Because of the belief that "Heaven will give anyone a remarkable talent." This sentence is constantly groping.

When I was a student, my father once said, "Heaven will give anyone a remarkable talent." However, most people are unable to discover their talents and choose other professions to spend their lives. Einstein, Picasso, etc. are the kind of people who are good at discovering and using their talents. Listening to her father's words, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi seemed to have found her own direction in life.

Ballet, horizontal bar gymnastics, painting, dog coaches, costume designers, horse racing players... In order to find their talents constantly challenge various jobs. In addition, he tried church organ playing, opera performances, church chant teams, tennis, dessert shops, etc., but they could not find a trace of talent.

〇20s~

I wanted to become an opera singer and went to the conservatory to study, but the bass melody other than the aria of the opera was always difficult to grasp and frustrated. To this end, I set myself as a music critic, and halfway through, I accidentally signed up for the NHK TV actor training exam and passed.

"Maybe it's better than music critic cellists?" Confused, he completed a year-long training while continuing his studies at university, and began his life as an actor at the same time as graduating from college. At the beginning, the salary was 9,000 yen, and when the salary was paid, you could take your younger siblings to the restaurant, but the daily living expenses and daily expenses were still provided by my parents when I was close to the age of 30. At the age of 27, he developed Down syndrome due to overwork. To this end, he vowed in his heart to "only do the work you want to do." "

〇30s~

At the age of 38, he traveled to the United States alone. Studying at a acting school in New York, I experienced being alone/living for the first time.

I left NHK at the age of 33 to become a freelancer, and after working for about three years, one day, I had the idea of going to study acting abroad. "After 17 years of hard work since graduating from college, I don't want to run on a set trajectory anymore, and occasionally I want to go into the maintenance line of the tram for a while." "Think about the days without a schedule", and when I have this idea, I consult with the manager. Immediately got a "rest well" reply, and the manager began to make a personnel arrangement that was fine for three years. When studying abroad in New York is about to pass for a year, there is a "Want to be a new news show host in Japan?" "The connection, finally studied for a year and then returned to China.

〇40s~

He began "Tetsuko's Room" and his book "Little Bean by the Window" became a bestseller.

"For the first time in my life" the most in your 40s. Immediately after returning to China, he began to host news shows, which was changed to a talk show called "Tetsuko's Room" in 1976, and in 1978 he began to compose his own charts and live music program "Top Ten Golden Songs". In March 1983, the "Little Bean by the Window", which had previously been serialized in the magazine "Young Women", was compiled and printed into a book, with a first edition of 20,000 copies.

Once published, it became a hot topic in society and has become a bestseller with sales of 8 million copies so far. I wanted to set up a theater troupe for the hearing impaired with the royalties of this book, so I set up the "Beanie Fund for Social Welfare Groups". Based on this contribution, the government has also waived the royalty tax, thanks to the performing arts and cultural circles.

〇50s~

Became a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and started an overseas comedy series at le Theatre Ginza by PARCO theatre in Ginza, Ginza.

After becoming UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in 1984, he interviewed children suffering from hunger, war and the virus and continued to disseminate the situation on television.

In January and June 1989, he starred in two stage plays at the Ginza Theater. In my heart, I am determined to make the stage my life's work.

〇60s~

Playing a 92-year-old woman in the stage play "Happy Than Height", etc., won the Drama Award.

The focus on comedy on stage is because, "There are many bitter and sad things in the world, and I hope that people can forget the sadness and laugh when they watch the performance." Tetsuko said.

"Because the story of the end of life needs some cheerfulness."

In the actor Masashi Takahashi's eagerly awaited Tetsuko Kuroyanagi starred in "Happiness Than Height", and performed "Maria. "Maria in "Karas" The role of Callas won the 38th Mainichi Arts Award in 1997, the 4th Yomiuri Drama Awards and the Best Actress Award.

〇70s~

30-minute walks, facial massages taught by beauticians, and even some sports in sumo wrestling, etc., as long as they are interested and may be able to stick to it for a long time, they are all actively challenged and committed to the health method within their ability.

Of course, there are also many half-way abandonment, basically "in short, try it first and then say". "Standing on the stage until the age of 100" and "becoming a political journalist at the age of 100" were also set in their 70s. However, for the safety of yourself and others, the driver's license was handed in in in your 70s.

The spirit of constantly challenging within the scope of their ability is worth learning and learning from many people.
