Message from 1996:
"Don't Worry, Be Happy" – Japanese drama "Long Holiday"
(I've wanted to write this article for a long time)
Haruki Murakami, the great god accompanied the Nobel Prize has begun
How do you evaluate the past 2020?
Sudden, unexpected, crazy and raging, subverting cognition, unspeakable magic.
Thought it would end but has been in the dark...
To be honest, if I hadn't watched "The Long Holiday", I really couldn't persuade myself that "next year is another new year"!
But it is precisely because a few days before the end of 2020, I was recommended as the pinnacle of this Japanese drama in the APP that has been brushing the drama, and the haze was instantly swept away!
(Not an exaggeration at all, I am grateful to be able to reunite with this Japanese drama at this point in time)
<h1>In 1996, Japan made such a drama</h1>
Long Holiday is a 1996 Japanese drama starring Takuya Kimura and Tomoko Yamaguchi.
The average rating of this drama after broadcasting was 29.6%, and the highest rating was 36.7% - the ratings of works 24 years ago that year are still the second strongest today!
After the drama was completed, it directly established the status of Takuya Kimura and Tomoko Yamaguchi in the Japanese drama king and queen.
(Only find the untitled version, I will add text description under the gif)
After the groom escapes from marriage, he goes alone to face his relatives, Hayama-nam
The play tells the story of Hayama Minami, who is homeless after being runaway from marriage, and the groom's roommate Hidetoshi Seina takes her in.
The two of them live together, but Minami's cheerful and straightforward personality affects the slow-hot Setuna to a certain extent.
Hayama Nan just can't play the piano
During the shared period, 24-year-old Seina has a crush on her sister Ryoko, but regrets that she could not hold the beauty back, and Nan has been encouraging and enlightening him.
At the same time, the 30-year-old Minami also met the right marriage partner, and thought that she could marry quickly, but she did not expect that the door of Seina's heart had been opened for her...
In the end, Minami can't escape her heart and chooses to run to the church with Setuna!
Run to the church, the end of the play!
The ten years at the peak of Japanese drama were all very beautiful Japanese drama directions.
The first time I saw the show, I was very young and just classified it as an inspirational drama.
Thinking that it was just a pianist who was depressed, he finally opened the second pulse of Ren Dou with the help of his friends and got the first place to go to Boston.
But more than a decade later, at the end of 2020, I will look at it again.
But I was deeply immersed in the simple and warm character relationship in the play, the lines that are still very applicable to the present, the small stories of ordinary characters in the confused era...
The theme of "The Long Holiday"
I went to see the show as a person who came over.
After coming out of work, I saw too many complicated stranger relationships that had to be staged frequently in reality.
In recent years, the TV series and other film and television works that have been exposed to it, of course, there are also variety shows, as well as various hot phenomena on the Internet.
The whole life is lived, the three views are constantly reshaped, but it is always the loneliness of the question mark!
Coupled with the 2020 epidemic, to examine the vagaries of individual fate...
Burnout!
But when I saw Ye Shannan in "Long Vacation", at the age of 30, I still spent my leftover girl time so accumulated (yo) very much (idle).
When the agent Xiaonan swings with his girlfriend Peach
Takako Saito was only a short-term student brought by Seina at a training institution, even though Takako initially looked down on Seto.
But the latter always insisted on being a teacher and enlightened her very carefully.
Seto's student Takako came to him but was not at home
Setuna rode late at night to send Takako home
The most popular part of the play is the shared life of Hayama Minami and Sena.
Although the ending is that the two are sweetly together, most of the plot is not ambiguous.
It is the most precious understanding and companionship among strangers.
The two resonate with strange legends that touching their toes can make them longer
Wouldn't the senior like me? ------------------------
After Seina realizes that he is out, Konan enlightens him
Big sister-like strong stop, let Seina sober up
On the rooftop, share your own original cuisine with your roommates
Before they officially became lovers, Hayama Nan and Hidetoshi Seina did not show obvious "lovers above Yuda".
(Of course, it is inseparable from the excellent performance of the actors)
My feeling of going to brush the drama again is that I am lucky to meet someone like Ye Shannan in my life.
Her own 30-year-old life was actually quite a failure, moving over to share a house, but her frizzy personality made Seta very disgusted.
Leaving a handprint on his piano, answering his phone messages privately despite Seina's feelings, and loving to talk to himself in life...
In the end, because of the incomprehensible urges Ryoko to take Ryoko to the hotel to open a room, it leads to the anger of Seina at the Manjin Noodle Shop!
But even so, Hayama goes out of his way to encourage Setina to pursue the people he likes.
Go after your piano dreams.
"Long Vacation" was a reflection of the economic downturn in the bubble era, and even excellent college students had difficulty finding jobs.
And Seina is the epitome of this.
In order to make a living, he chose to go to a luxury store as a shopping guide, and was persuaded by Hayama Nan to go back in his own unique way:
Playing a crappy piano with one hand, a very serious look, made Setuna cry!
(When Kimura filmed this scene, he couldn't stand it and not the script required it)
feed! Pianos aren't played like that!
In fact, people in their early 20s really need someone to spur themselves on so selflessly.
If you can meet it, you are very lucky.
But life, mostly rely on self-crossing, self-defeat!
Don't Worry，Be Happy
<h1>It's a pity that they didn't make such a drama later</h1>
In 1996, Japan was the most economically developed country in Asia.
When the country reaches a certain strength, people can make a peak drama like "Long Holiday".
But what about us?
The domestic entertainment industry or the film and television industry is really not like other industries, which can go abroad and match the growth of national strength.
There's a lot to marvel at about this show.
It is one of the pinnacle works of screenwriter Kitagawa Yukiko.
The soundtrack of the whole play is simply not too great!
As soon as the prelude to Toshinobu Kubota's La La Love Song sounds, you can instantly return to the summer of 1996.
"Here We Are Again", one of the BGM, was adapted by Stephen Chow into "The King of Comedy".
There are not many characters in the whole play, and there are only 7 people with emotional lines.
Although there are also the appearances of "little three" and "green tea" that are often said in it, the whole drama looks down, "all members have no evil people".
Because they like it, they will express it, and when they feel that the other party does not love themselves, they will quit.
Not as complicated as it is now to tear X and revenge.
It was a simple time!
It's just that people have changed now!
A total of 11 times, accompanied by Hayama Nan's bright smile, I seemed to see a frozen time and space.
Then it doesn't reject me crossing back!
thank!
Every time at the Chinese restaurant, Hayama Minami is very relaxed
