Yoshinaga Sayuri (吉永小夜合里, Yoshinaga Koyuri, born on March 13, 1945 in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan) is a Japanese actress, singer, voice actor, and producer who graduated from Waseda University.
My name is Yoshinaga Sayuri, a Japanese who was born on March 13, 1945 in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo.
My father was an excellent graduate of Waseda University in Tokyo and worked as a civil servant in the government sector; my mother was also a big girl and piano teacher.
My mother named me "Little Lily" after I was born, and she wanted me to be as cute as a lily.
I also have a lovely little sister whose lives are carefree.
My mother had high expectations of me, teaching me to sing and play the piano from an early age, and when I was older, she arranged for me to go to the children's choir and learn to sing nursery rhymes.
We were originally a high-class family in Japan, and our living conditions were very superior. The whole family lived a happy life with plenty of food and clothing.
It's a pity that the war destroyed all this good life!
After World War II, Japan's economy was depressed, and poverty pervaded the streets, so my father resigned from public office after listening to his friends' words and started a publishing business in order to make life better for the whole family.
As soon as my father graduated, he worked in the government department, and he was completely good at business, and the business of the publishing house was light.
Complete one's misery! The so-called friend who persuaded my father to resign actually ran away at the crucial moment! The publishing house was forced to close its doors, and since my father was the legal representative of the publishing house, the creditors chased him for money.
Now our family's life is all messed up!
Every day, many creditors come to the door to force debts, often quarreling outside! Attracted countless people to watch, accuse, and over time the neighbors began to alienate us.
Whenever I saw the creditors come to the door to make unreasonable trouble, I always felt very angry, thinking: Why are these people so unreasonable, and the debts are not all owed by my father alone, why do they have to come to my house to make trouble?
"Dad, they're so unreasonable! I'm going to beat them up and get all these people out!" ”
I said indignantly to my father.
Life at home is getting more and more difficult, because we live in a rich area of high society, so our family still has to dress well every time they go out, for fear of being looked down upon by others.
In fact, the family is so poor that they can't open the pot!
As the eldest daughter, I saw it in my eyes and was anxious in my heart. In order to solve the family difficulties, I had the idea of becoming a newspaper boy at a young age. However, as soon as I came up with this idea, my mother rejected it.
"Miss Yoshinaga's family, how can you show your face and become a newsboy?"
The mother said so.
Our days were getting harder and harder, my father couldn't find a job, and my mother couldn't hold on any longer, so she had to decide to move.
We did not dare to move during the day, for fear that the creditor would know that we would cause trouble, so we had to sneak through the back door like thieves in the middle of the night.
Who would have thought that our family of civil servants, who once lived in a big house, would move to live in the dirtiest slums of Tokyo!
My father still couldn't find a suitable job, and post-war Japan was in disarray! Many people are struggling on the brink of life and death, and finding a job is harder than ascending to heaven!
My mother stopped insisting, she wanted me to go out and sing and dance so that I could earn some money to support the family.
My job search was not smooth, and my family often ate up and down without eating the whole family's life was extremely difficult.......
It wasn't until 1956 that, at the age of eleven, I finally got a job dubbing the manga Akatsuki Suzunosuke. I was so happy to hear the news that I had been hired by the crew! I was finally able to do my part for the Yoshinaga family.
Now that I think about it, maybe there is a definite number in the dark, and in this work, the name of the character I matched happens to be called "Little Lily".
This time the dubbing work made me nervous and excited, I worked hard to learn dubbing word by word according to the director's requirements, no matter how hard I was, I was a little lily who could not be defeated.
"The food at home has increased", which is very happy for me who was still growing up at the time, and I also have a wonderful feeling: I earn the food on the table!
Two years later, the cast of the movie "The Whistle of the Morning" recruited actors, and I was lucky enough to be selected without any acting experience.
I have no experience in acting, and the first time I shoot a scene is hard to imagine.
Especially when shooting on location, the bumpy slopes of cars along the way are really unbearable.
My sister often envied me for being able to travel around for free. In fact, along the way, I can suffer from old sins! When you get to the destination, make-up, set up, shoot there is no rest time at all, where is the kung fu to travel?
I thought of the life of my whole family and summoned up endless energy, and I worked hard to shoot the scene, as if I saw bowls of white rice beckoning to me.
The movie "Calling the Morning Whistle" is finally going to be released after more than five months of intense filming. I nervously couldn't sleep every day, afraid that I wasn't good enough to ruin a good movie.
"On the screen, the thin little sister-in-law's family, with a shy face, performed like buds waiting to be released, and the world that belonged to her was awakened one by one."
The Japanese media said this about my performance.
The movie "The Whistle of The Morning" was a huge success and the whole crew boiled over!
I, the heroine, shed tears, and I couldn't tell whether it was joy or sorrow.
Since then, I have been constantly working, and people are so busy that they keep spinning like conchs! Academic performance plummeted, and the formerly good friends stopped paying attention to me, and they were reluctant to associate with a child star.
I have almost no friends anymore, and it's so lonely to be alone!
I came out to work and act in order to share the difficulties for the Yoshinaga family, and I didn't want to be a star at all. I secretly decided that when my family was better off, I would learn to be an ordinary girl.
Oh, yes! I've always wanted to be a normal girl.
Read, study, marry, have children! That's all my life. I even thought about waiting until I was old and watching my grandchildren play in the garden while cutting clothes for them.
I want everyone to think that I am a kind old lady. Whenever I think about it, I often smirk involuntarily, and others look at me strangely.
In my junior year of junior high school, I made up my mind that "when I enter high school, I will concentrate on my studies, live a sound and normal school life, and then re-find the path I will take."
I was admitted to a national high school as I wished, but my parents still asked me to accept an invitation from Nissho Film Company to be an exclusive actor.
I expressed my desire to go to school to my parents, and my mother replied to me one by one
"I understand the urgency of you wanting to go to high school. But the tuition has to be earned back..."
I know that my dream of being an ordinary girl has been completely shattered!
I can only study and work, signed a daily film company, and I am still very busy every day!
I make about nine or ten films a year at Nissho Film, and I don't even have enough time to sleep every day, let alone go to school.
Because I missed too many classes, the school notified my parents to ask me to withdraw from school.
I am a weak person, not good at words, most of the time timid and obedient, even if I am dissatisfied, I silently accept. Signing a contract with a company, going to a private school, and filming are all the same, either obeying the choice of their parents or obeying the company's arrangements.
I finally dropped out of school and followed my mother's advice to study at a private school. It is said that this school can graduate as long as you pass the credit, and it doesn't matter how many courses you lack.
I was so sad, but there was nothing I could do about it. I spoke to my only good friend on the bus
"I'm sorry, I'm going to fly!"
I know very well in my heart that the reason why I get the audience's affection, the company's weight, is because of the cute and cute appearance and a pair of flashing eyes, as for how the acting skills, they do not care.
I am not willing to go on like this all the time, since God has arranged for me to be an actor, I must try my best to do it well!
I am trying to find opportunities for my own transformation!
I kept groping for my own interpretation until I took over "The Dancing Girl of Izu."
I don't understand the script of the play "The Dancing Girl of Izu" very well, but I dare not find a director theory. After thinking about it again, I approached Mr. Yasunari Kawabata, the original author of this drama.
Mr. Yasunari Kawabata is really a good and approachable person, and I told him my confusion
"My favorite line was omitted from the script."
However, Mr. Yasunari Kawabata did not make much of a statement, and only let me play well.
Later, I thought that perhaps Mr. Yasunari Tatagawa wanted to say: Novels and movies are not the same thing after all."
The film came out unexpectedly well, and I became famous and was affectionately called "Little Lily" by fans.
I was both happy and sad to hear that due to the long absence, the private high school could not provide me with a graduation certificate, and I dropped out of school again.
I was so desperate that I cried at a director's house:
"I hate my parents, they just want me to be a big star, but I just want to be a normal person!" An ordinary person! ”
After crying, the next day I dried my tears and continued to work, non-stop work.
I yearn for campus life, I want to go to university.
I took advantage of the gap between filming to review the work class, took the university qualification examination, and was fortunate to be admitted to the Western History Department of Waseda University.
I don't like Western history, but I'm happy to learn!
I negotiated with my family, the company, to make two movies a year, and let me go to school.
My father worked as my agent when I was an actor and later opened a small lily workshop with 20 employees. I have to work harder to support these 20 employees.
I'm so tired, sometimes I'm so tired that I can't even get pimples on my face! I want to fall in love like a normal girl, get married and have children!
I met tetsuya Watanabe, an actor, when I was shooting the movie "Record of Love and Death", who is a very interesting boy. Tetsuya Watanabe turned out to be a martial arts actor at Nikko Company, because my original partner Mitsuo Hamada accidentally injured his eyes, in order not to affect the filming schedule, the company decided to temporarily transfer Tetsuya Watanabe to play with me.
Tetsuya Watanabe has always been making Renxia movies before, this is the first time to shoot a literary and artistic romance, not very adaptable, coupled with the director's high requirements, day and night rushing to the scene, let him feel very tired.
One night, we went to the company rehearsal hall according to the director's request to prepare for tomorrow's scene, but we didn't see Tetsuya Watanabe rehearsing the play.
The director was furious and sent people around to look for Tetsuya Watanabe, but he had looked for all the places he should have looked for, but he couldn't find Watsusang.
At this time, a drama friend inadvertently opened the door of the hall wall kitchen, and everyone was surprised to find that Tetsuya Watanabe was lying in it and sleeping!
It seemed that the intense work had already exhausted him and made it unbearable.
"Spare me!" Tetsuya Watanabe said to me, "I thought so I decided to hide." "I listened, and I couldn't help it.
In the process of filming, I sparked love with Tetsuya Watanabe, I like him very much, he likes me, and we want to get married.
But my parents were adamantly opposed to our association, and their reasons were one by one
"This man is too confused, you will suffer in the future if you marry him."
I was never able to persuade my parents to agree to my marriage to Tosang.
I am still a weak person, and I broke up with Tetsuya Watanabe!
I ended my first love in such a hurry.
Fast forward to the 1970s, and Nikko began to decline. The company decided to shoot low-cost in order to survive, and I couldn't accept such an arrangement and chose to leave my old club and go to TV Asahi.
Because the usual work pressure is too much, I suddenly lost my voice.
I went to many hospitals for treatment, and the doctor said: My vocal cords are no problem, it is too stressful, not enough rest caused by "voice loss".
I was in a hurry, but the more anxious I became, the less silent I became.
"If you can't make a sound, you are sick, and you should rest until you recover." Even if you can't make a sound, but if you work your best, you will definitely impress the audience."
The man who spoke was named Taro Okada, my future husband.
Okada was divorced once and was 15 years older than me. Of course, our marriage was vigorously opposed by our parents! My mother even said she wanted to pinch Okada Taro herself!
But this time, I decided not to compromise again! I'm going my own way and getting married is the only option!
I left my home and married Taro Okada.
I love children, but I discuss with my husband before marriage and decide I don't want children.
My relationship with my mother was not handled well, I did not have the confidence to be a good mother, I was afraid that after I had a child, I would affect my current life, and I was afraid that I would not be able to understand my child in the future, so that my child would eat the suffering I had suffered...
Anyway I'm a coward!
I was unable to work as a full-time wife since I was a child, but fortunately my husband understood me and agreed to let me continue filming.
Someone asked me, "Little Lily, do you like filming?"?
I can't answer because I started filming when I didn't have the choice, and I guess that's my destiny!
But I don't hate this fate, filming has become a part of my life, and I can't be separated anymore!
In my lifetime, I will definitely work hard to make a few more good movies and dedicate myself to the vast number of fans who have always supported me and loved me, thank you for your encouragement, and only today's Yoshinaga Sayuri, Ari Ado!
If there is an afterlife, I must be an ordinary girl, study, work, get married, have children...
