Just like the TV series "Thirty Only" and the variety show "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", this is completely different from the "squeezing the scalp in the rising period of 18-26 years old and trying hard to promote themselves", which was once the mainstream of the Japanese entertainment industry, and belongs to the long "output" era of a new generation of Japanese actresses.
Just like the phrase "characters are like their people" in Chinese, there is also a time-honored proverb in Japanese: "文如其人(文は人なり)". Today, I'm afraid there's nothing like a person's image better than text on social networks. Tsuchiya's Instagram submissions always carry her personal signature features.
Tsuchiya's Instagram body is more like text.
The original feature of Instagram as a platform is the variety of beautiful landscape photos that users contribute to it. Tsuchiya Taiho's photos posted on the platform are always accompanied by extremely serious articles. In order to read these articles, sometimes fans even need to slide down a few screens to read them, as if these articles are the main body. Even with short essays, readers can feel a kind of handwritten letter formality and courtesy.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" Data-track="7" Tsuchiya Taiho, who > "8th year of university", finally graduated</h1>
On such an instagram, on March 15, Tsuchiya Taiho reported to fans that she had graduated from college. After four years of repetition, the "graduation by stepping on the line" at this juncture of not being able to graduate this year and being expelled from school has become the focus of attention of the Japanese and Chinese media. As a result, various reports titled such as "Tsuchiya Taiho Announced Graduation in the Eighth Year of College", "Review of Tsuchiya Taiho's "RepeatIng Grade Reports" every Spring", and "Finally Graduating" appeared in front of readers with a slightly ridiculous tone.
These reports tend to overlook two important facts: First, the standards for obtaining credits at Japanese universities have become more stringent than in the past, and in addition, Tsuchiya Taiho has attended not a comprehensive university of general liberal arts and sciences in the past eight years, but a sports department of the Physical Education Department of Japan Women's University.
Tsuchiya Taiho competed on the same stage as the Olympic champion.
Generally speaking, Japan Women's Sports University is not the university that high school students who are already active in the performing arts world choose, but the famous school that female athletes who want to become teachers of health sports or coaches of sports and dance in the future will challenge. When assessing credits, the Japan Women's Sports University not only has a written test, but also a physical fitness skill test to test the body. Under such a scoring benchmark, the school side has no need to recruit students in the show business circle, and there will be no preferential treatment for Tsuchiya Taiho's credits.
After playing Sakamoto's sister's sister in the first TV series "Ryoma", Tsuchiya Taiho, who had achieved acting and learning from her high school days, chose to study dance at the Sports Department of the Physical Education Department of such a university with her seriousness.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > the significance of stepping on the line of graduation during the career upswing</h1> period
In the Japanese entertainment industry, actresses usually do their best to lay the foundation and create momentum for their popularity in the 8-year "career upswing period" of 18-26 years old. Japan's "popular actresses" refer to this group of people.
Japan's fiercely competitive and popular actresses
These top actresses who have attracted attention in their teens have worked hard to burn their energy in these 8 years. The cruelty and increasingly fast pace of the Japanese showbiz world dictate that after 8 years, they often have to give way to the next generation of actresses. Of course, Tsuchiya also starred in many works between the ages of 18 and 26, so her time spent studying was cut, resulting in eight years of school registration without graduating.
Unlike other actresses who make the most of these 8 years of prime time, Tsuchiya Taiho and her assistant staff use this part of the years of "output" acting skills that should be used for traditional actresses every minute and second for future accumulation, that is, "input". The reason why Tsuchiya was able to graduate this year may also be thanks to the reduction of performing arts activities in the emergency declaration under the epidemic in Japan and the popularity of remote teaching, which gave her more time to study at home.
Even if Tsuchiya Taiho was expelled from school because she failed to graduate in the eighth year, what she entered in these eight years would not be discounted. For example, the day before she told her graduation on Instagram, in a fan club-limited letter distribution event, Tsuchiya Taiho said that she had a momentary experience on the film set of the movie that the "view of the departed view" was called by the master Noh Shiami.
The Noh actor's "detached view" of his own posture mentioned by Shi Ami in "The Legend of the Wind posture"
"The View of Seeing" is about the fact that actors who can "noh drama" in traditional Japanese arts should be able to maintain a subjective and objective balance in the process of creation and interpretation, and can think and perform from the perspective of both actors and audiences. Whether Tsuchiya studied dance at the Japan Women's Sports University or as a actress in the film and television production scene, being able to verify the theory in practice like this and apply the theory in practice reflects from one side that what she has learned in the past eight years has laid a solid foundation for her.
It is probably a little inappropriate to apply the term "late completion" to Taiho Tsuchiya, who was promoted to a top actress at a young age and has experienced the baptism of "national actress" such as starring in a morning drama. However, the image of Tsuchiya Taiho's thick hair seems to tell us that her peak will not come until she is 3-40 years old, and now we see her as a chick that has not yet spread her wings and soared.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" > actresses who play a real value in the face of inescapable scenes</h1>
Tsuchiya Taiho can be said to be a actress who can exert her strength the heavier the theme of the work. In one of her masterpieces, "The True Story of the Bride Miracle Spanning 8 Years", co-starring with Ken Sato, she played the role of a lover who once fell due to anti-NMDA compositis and suffered from severe sequelae.

The film does not depict a poignant "death", as many similar works do, but rather a painful "life". Brain diseases not only leave the body paralyzed and disabled, but also destroy personality and memory. In this way, the work depicts a couple of men and women who, even if they have lost their beauty and forgotten their love, still struggle to grasp the "birth" and move forward. The acting skills of Ken Sato and Tsuchiya Taiho also earned the work high praise and good box office.
As the title suggests, "The True Story of the Bride Miracle Spanning 8 Years" is actually based on the "life record" created by the couple who actually experienced this painful process based on themselves, and was created through the script of Keikazu Okada, who won the 22nd Japanese Drama Academy Award for Best Screenplay in "Their Time". Tsuchiya Taiho's acting skills of "before the attack because of the personality change due to the confusion of consciousness and the great change of personality to the lover, and after the operation suffered from serious sequelae and rehabilitation process" is so realistic and tragic, it is difficult to imagine that this is due to this popular young actress today.
However, after all, this work is derived from the actual painful experience of the author and his wife, as long as they will also see the film, Tsuchiya's acting skills will inevitably carry such a determination - they must not take it for granted that they have been burdened with heavy hearts. As if in response to Tsuchiya Taiho's acting skills, Ken Sato also stripped off his past star aura and recreated the story with the same heavy and painful acting skills. It can be said that Tsuchiya Taiho is a actress who plays a real value in such heavy works and inescapable scenes.

On other occasions, Tsuchiya's seriousness can make her appear inappropriate when she appears in a relaxed and popular variety show because she is too serious. Especially after the debut of the Japanese comedy artist group Down Town, Japanese variety shows have gradually evolved into an environment of "evoking the empathy of TV viewers through relaxed and casual dialogue", Tsuchiya Taiho's performance is too polite, solemn and dedicated.

Perhaps because she grew up in a family that was required to practice Japanese dance, ballet, horseback riding and other skills, Tsuchiya Taiho could hardly see the casual words and deeds common to japanese women today. Of course, if the role needs it, she will certainly be able to play this casual style of contemporary Japanese young women. However, Tsuchiya Taiho himself is probably not good at using this relaxed "frank" attitude to talk to his predecessors.

Tsuchiya Taiho is such a serious and inflexible being. Even if she is asked to play a young and beautiful girl to draw a comic-style stick figure illustration, I am afraid that she will be as serious as an art student with accurate and realistic methods and proportions. However, in films with deep themes that depict a certain universality and social construct, this personality becomes very popular.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="34" > the number of female fans</h1>
Therefore, the reason why the author mentioned in the article "The Birth of another Japanese National Actress" in the article "Tsuchiya Taiho" is that these audiences only watched Tsuchiya's performance in the TV variety show and made a one-sided judgment on her without knowing it, resulting in misunderstanding.
In fact, in the Japanese media, because I saw her name appear in the list of "nasty actresses and female artists" voted by the online media, there were reports that concluded that "Tsuchiya Taiho's female fans are definitely very few". However, as long as you go to the completion disclosure meeting of the movie starring Tsuchiya Taiho or the event scene of her fan club, you will find that the fan-female ratio of Tsuchiya is actually very high among young actresses.

Seeing from these reports that there are more women who hate her, it is easy to think that she has few female fans. The fact is that the closer the actress as a performer is to femininity in her own role, her female fans and black fans will increase at the same time. This seemingly contradictory fact is like two sides of the same coin, reflecting the complex situation that women find themselves in Japanese society.
I believe that one day, the distance between women who love Tsuchiya Taiho and women who are disgusted with her will always shorten, and opposing eyes will become opposites.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="40" > "I think there is a performance that only women can express"</h1>
"Crimson Tired Abyss" can be regarded as another masterpiece of Tsuchiya Taiho's appearance with a heavy image. In this film, which is based on a manga by Tatsuma Matsuura, Tsuchiya Andeho and Kyoko Fange play two women whose personalities are swapped, Nina and Nina.
The Deep Red Abyss
On the one hand, there is the popular actress Danzenina, who is beautiful in appearance but lacks the depth of performance, and on the other side is the unknown acting genius with ugly scars on her face. How to faithfully reproduce the "good and bad acting skills" shown in the manga through deformation treatment in live-action movies is another task that Tsuchiya cannot escape. Using real acting skills to show the same character switching between the high and low of the set "acting skills" due to personality swaps - Tsuchiya Taiho and Kyoko Fange can be said to have dealt with this challenge well.
At the climax of the film, when Nina and tired personalities suddenly begin to exchange frequently, the audience has the illusion that the souls of the two begin to detach from their respective faces. Tsuchiya Andho and Kyoko Yoshigen's acting skills are so well placed that in the audience's eyes, Nina and tired personalities and flesh seem to begin to separate from each other. In this way, this work shows 2 women who are ostracized and consumed by society, respectively—and also happen to constitute a group of femininity in contemporary Japan.
"The reason why I didn't choose 'performer' or 'actor', but chose the word actress to describe my profession, is because I feel that since the mind is female, there should be something that only a woman can express. This is because by playing various roles and going through a lot of women's time, I began to actually feel inequality and unfairness in various senses. ”
On March 12, Tsuchiya Taiho made the above statement on Instagram on International Women's Day. As if in resonance with this view, the actress matsuoka Moyu of the same generation also said: "I have always resisted the title of actress, but after having the honor of acting with Kiki Shirin and Sakura Ando, I began to think that the title of actress is also good." ”。
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="47" > the Japanese performing arts world, which is completely different from the past, is coming</h1>
Matsuoka also commented on the particularity of Tsuchiya Taiho as follows: "A dazzling light in this generation of actresses has always maintained orthodoxy." Actresses such as Tsuchiya Taiho and Matsuoka May completely rewrite the meaning of the word "actress" and become a new generation. Just like the domestic TV series "Thirty Only" and the variety show "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", this is completely different from the "squeezing the scalp in the rising period of 18-26 years old and making every effort to promote themselves", which was once the mainstream of the "actress" in the Japanese entertainment industry, and belongs to the long "output" era of a new generation of Japanese actresses.
At that time, perhaps in a classroom in Japan, a female teacher of health sports or a dance instructor will proudly show off in front of the students: "The teacher used to be a classmate of Tsuchiya Taiho at the Japan Women's Sports University." ”
The number of women of the same generation who grew up with Tsuchiya Taiho and gradually changed the world with their own actions is definitely quite large. After all, in the eight years that Tsuchiya Taiho has been in college, she has many female athletes who think together and sweat together.
