When you think of Japanese beautiful men, who do you think of? Is Takuya Kimura playing the piano in "The Long Holiday"? Or is it the feathered knot that has an ancient sense of style in the figure skating arena?
Whatever your answer, the most topical of these is Fujimasai. Fujima Sai's ten years of growth are like a realistic version of "Truman's World", which has attracted the attention of many people in Japan and abroad.
In this issue, Ziya TongQucha takes you close to Japan's new "male god" Fujimasai to see the growth experience of Japan's first noble prince.
01. Just after birth, he was placed on the family's high hopes
Fujimasai is one of Japan's hottest Kabuki actors, who has captivated more than 60 million Japanese women with his rare god-level appearance and outstanding acting talent.
Born in Kyoto, Japan in 2005, he was born with his family's mission to inherit and promote the performing arts of Kabuki. Why?
Because he lives in the Goryeo House, a famous kabuki gate with a history of more than 300 years, from birth he was destined to be the third generation of the family's Kabuki skills.
Even more coincidentally, 2005 marks the 400th year of Kabuki's birth, and it is also the year that Kabuki is listed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO.
For various reasons, Fujimasai's birth carries the hope of the entire family, and everyone hopes that in the future he can lead the entire family to a more prosperous stage.
There is a saying in Japan, "Every Japanese woman loves kabuki actors." "What is Kabuki and why is it getting so much attention in the Hearts of Japanese People?"
Japan has three major national dramas, namely Noh, Kyogen and Kabuki, of which Kabuki is the most prestigious, and even appeared at the opening ceremony of the last Tokyo Olympic Games.
Kabuki is a traditional japanese tradition that has been passed down for a long time, originating in the Edo period in the 17th century. This kind of drama has the characteristics of exquisite set, gorgeous actors and complex stage design in terms of stage.
In terms of performance candidates, they are all men, and many female roles on the stage are cross-stringed by male actors, and it is precisely because of this feature that people engaged in kabuki performances are impeccable in appearance.
Not only that, but because Kabuki is a long-standing performance form in Japan, actors engaged in this industry have a very high social status.
High appearance, high social status, high income level, it is with the blessing of this "three highs", Kabuki actors are the ideal marriage object for many Japanese women.
Taking Fujimasai's family as an example, although Fujimazai's grandfather is already in his eighties and his face is full of wrinkles, he is still angular and upright, and he is also a rare beautiful man when he was young.
His father, Terukazu Fujima, is also a beautiful Actor in Japan, and although he is now a father, he can still charm thousands of women.
Fujima Sai's grandmother is also a famous Japanese actor, and her appearance is impeccable; her mother Seki Yuanzi is also a famous and prestigious family in Japan.
It is precisely because of such a superior appearance that Fujimasai's appearance also lives up to expectations, and he is really a "rich and noble prince".
02. His life is a realistic version of "Truman's World"
In 2007, when he turned two, Fujima Made his first public appearance after his grandfather. The well-behaved three or seven-point head, coupled with the face of the flesh, raised his right hand, and the milk shouted "dry baba".
Fujima Sai's first appearance instantly melted the girlish hearts of many people, and many people were captured by his lovely appearance and called out to him as "aunt powder".
As soon as the music came out, he never received any professional practice, and his dancing posture perfectly matched the beat of the music, confident and generous, unpretentious, and his talent for singing and dancing was fully displayed under the camera.
Many people are also full of praise, saying that he is truly The First Beautiful Teenager in Japan, and the future can be expected.
Many media also flocked to report, under the influence of Fujima Sai, the Fujima family was also greatly popular, becoming the most talked about family in Japan at that time.
His grandfather also felt that his grandson had an excellent advantage in Kabuki performances, and he took the initiative to take his grandson with him and personally teach performance skills, giving him fervent hope.
In such a family atmosphere, Fujima Sai already knew what the mission was at a young age, and he had more thinking and responsibility in action, and less childishness and distress.
He would often go to the performance site under the guidance of others, watch the performances of his grandfather and father, and sometimes imitate one or two, which shows the depth of his interest.
Japan's famous TV station Asahi TV saw that Fujimasai had caused such a great response in society, and also sent a team of people to track and film his growth experience, made into a series of documentaries, and broadcast publicly, spanning up to ten years.
Daily life is public, and many people say that this is a realistic version of "Truman's world".
Various trainings occupied Fujima Sai's time, and when he was only two or three years old, he had to train in various basic skills. Whether it is the completion of the action, or the expression of emotion, or even the control of the props worn, it needs to pay hard work.
Fujima Sai often had to wear bulky and cumbersome traditional costumes to practice over and over again, and grandpa and father accompanied him, and in the face of the wrong place, he would also speak out to accuse Fujima Sai, who was only a few years old.
He often cried silently in his mother's arms twice and continued to practice. Sometimes, he even wears a lion's head prop that is much taller and heavier than himself to practice shaking his head.
Often in the process of throwing because of the top-heavy was brought to the ground, it was very painful to watch, even so, he still did not shout bitterly tired, stood up and continued to practice.
03. Become the best business card to promote Kabuki
It is this kind of hard work day after day that Fujimasai has inherited four generations of Matsumoto Kintaro at the age of four.
Although the practice time is not very long, he has already practiced a skill, no matter how complex the performance situation is, he still copes with it with ease.
At only six years old, Fujima Sai is already a "bearer" on the stage, and his performance with his grandfather and father is not inferior, and his popularity often overwhelms other performers, becoming the most popular person in the audience.
In Fujimasai's view, Kabuki is no longer just a means of lighting up the family, but a portrayal of the love of the heart. He seems to have belonged to this stage by nature, tirelessly, sometimes participating in performances for twenty-five consecutive days without the slightest tiredness.
It is with the encouragement of this love that in 2018, the fourteen-year-old Fujima Sai has already gained a lot of heights that kabuki actors can hardly reach.
He and his grandfather and father held a grand ceremony at the same time, and he inherited the name Yatsuyome Ichikawa Somegoro. The name attack in Kabuki is a professional recognition, a manifestation of strength.
Only when a good Kabuki actor is recognized by a geisha can he be qualified to inherit the stage name of his ancestor as his new name or to use it as his new name or a name for public use. To qualify for a name is a supreme honor.
As soon as he was born, he attracted the attention of many people, and the growth of Fujima Sai was bound to be under everyone's attention, and the original milk dumpling boy had grown into a heroic teenager with eyebrows, which made Japanese girls fascinated.
Under his leadership, many people who knew little about Kabuki also began to pay attention to it and take the initiative to learn about this ancient art.
Often, as long as it is a performance by Fujimasai, it will be full, and even the standing tickets can be sold out quickly, and the speed is staggering.
I believe that many people have also found that Fujimasai's high popularity is not only because of his charming appearance, but also because of his solid artistic skills.
Imagine if he was just an "embroidered pillow", what qualifications would he have to be called a "national treasure male god" by many Japanese?
