Fifty is enough for her to say.
Last Saturday, Yuki Tenkai, who was born on August 8, 1967, officially celebrated his 53rd birthday.
Speaking of which, August 8 is really a magical day, Ni Ni, Tong Liya, Faye Wong, Zhang Yuqi and other Leo queens were born on this day, no wonder netizens said that August 8 should be the time when the phoenix came out of the nest (Cosmo, who turned 27 on August 8, also came to dip the light).
And Tenkai Yuki, known as the "Queen of Japanese Drama", still maintains the infinite charm of not aging in front of the stage today, and is not afraid of his fifty years old.
In fact, the Queen of Tianhai began to issue an age declaration ten years ago. In 2008, the Japanese female lead drama "Woman Forty" was launched, in which Yuki Tenkai played the 39-year-old psychologist Satoko Ogata.
During the day, he is an excellent doctor in the hospital, and he is considerate and thoughtful to patients and colleagues; back home, Satoko is a "loser" in love. She is on the verge of forty years old, with no family or career crisis... There are too many problems in front of us that need to be sorted out, but we have also ushered in new challenges and opportunities.
At the end of the series, Satoko chooses to leave her lover and chase her dream from scratch in Tokyo. The independent and wonderful Satoshi shouted handsomely with action, and forty years old is nothing more than that.
Satoko lives her new life at the age of 40, while 50-year-old Tenkai Yuki has the same age-defying freedom. Like Satoko, Yuki Tenkai, who highly declared on the show that she would not get married, is still single. Over fifty years old, she has more and more mature charm, and interprets her life into a handsome big female drama.
Chief male servant, walking Alpha
Once upon a time, Tenkai Yuxi was not yet a queen, and the young she left more of an impression of a beautiful teenager in people's minds.
Tianhai has a beautiful appearance since childhood, and his short hair is full of youthful freshness. Because of his tall stature, he was recommended by his teacher to enter the drama department in middle school and has been playing male roles ever since.
👆 Where love begins
In 1987, Tenkai joined the Takarazuka Opera Company. In this Japanese song and dance troupe that only accepts unmarried women, Yuki Tenkai, who is 172cm tall, was naturally selected as a male servant, which is simply a woman dressed as a man. The natural heroism of Mei Yujian made Tianhai dress up as a male servant, and less than a year after debuting on the stage, he became the main actor of the newcomer performance, creating a new record for the troupe.
There is a saying inside Takarazuka: "Ten years of male service", which means that from the first time on the stage, it takes at least ten years of tempering to become the chief male servant. However, in 1993, when Yuki Tenkai took over the role of Ryofu Masayoshi, who had left the troupe at that time, as the lead male servant, It took only 6 years and 4 months for Tenkai to become the first member of the Takarazuka Opera Company to play the lead male service.
Tianhai on the stage is dressed in gorgeous men's clothing, tall and handsome, and has captured the hearts of many female fans, in the popular words of the moment: Alpha walking in the circle! Handsome in appearance, singing and dancing all-round, not to mention the sense of youthfulness, in the hearts of fans at that time, Tenkai Yuki was the natural chief male servant.
But only she knew that this chief did not come easily at all.
Tenkai Yuki, who aspired to become an actor since childhood, has a traditional family of original concepts: the grandmother who has been a beautician all her life not only let Tenkai's mother inherit the mantle, but also hoped that Tenkai could continue this family business in the future. When Tianhai proposed her dream of being an actor to her grandmother, her grandmother angrily rebuked her for having no talent as an actor, which caused her a lot of blows.
Fortunately, Tianhai's mother was very supportive of her and quietly told Tianhai: "You have to do what you like, and it doesn't matter if the beauty salon at home closes down at my hands." This encouragement was deeply planted in Tianhai's heart, supporting her through the difficult years that followed.
Despite the support of his mother, Tianhai could only silently put the actor's dream in his heart and go according to the expectations of the family. But at that time, Tianhai Yuki showed his unwillingness in nature, and a chance film casting opened the way for Tianhai's actors. She concealed her family from participating in the audition all the way through the barrier, but when she finally participated in the national competition, she had to be known by her family, afraid of the temptation and adverse influence of the entertainment industry, and the family resolutely forbade Tianhai to continue to compete.
Entering the theater industry is so bumpy, Tianhai almost gave up. Fortunately, her class teacher did not want Tianhai's acting talent to be buried, so she came to her house and suggested to Tianhai's parents that she should apply for the strictly managed Takarazuka Music School, that is, the reserve of the Takarazuka Opera Troupe. Considering the complete militarized management of the school, Tianhai parents finally agreed to this request.
In Japan, it is said that "there is a big east in the east and a treasure tomb in the west". To enter this music school with the same name as the University of Tokyo, the blood, sweat and tears behind it are only clear to Tianhai. Tianhai practiced ballet from the beginning of high school, from 6 o'clock to 10 o'clock every day, even when the tram stopped on a snowy day, and it lasted for two full years.
It was precisely because of this effort that in 1985, Tenkai was admitted to Takarazuka with the first place, and even the interviewer Ueda Squire exclaimed to her mother, "You have given birth to such a wonderful daughter." After overcoming the obstacles of others and undergoing arduous training, he finally stood on the stage of Takarazuka, the chief male servant Tenkai Yuki. Her heroism stops at appearance, but more glitters is the sweat and hard work behind her.
But Tenkai knows that entering Takarazuka, performing on stage, and becoming the chief is only the first step in his dream as an actor. Two years after becoming principal, the beautiful Tenkai Yuki chose to quit the Takarazuka Opera Troupe. Everyone was puzzled, but she responded: "Don't bind yourself to a corner, there is not only one way of life, the road is very broad." ”
Tenkai, who decided to start working as a TV actor from scratch, was nearly 30 years old at the time.
Of course, from the theater stage to the digital screen, the ability of the chief male servant will never change. In the 2001 movie "Millennium Love: The Tale of Genji", Yuki Tenkai played the male protagonist Hikari clan in reverse, and the gentleman was a gentleman, and once again swept all over Japan.
No one knows that she is tired of being only a young boy who is only the wind of Yushu, and since the Light Source Clan, Tenkai Yuki has secretly decided not to take on male roles again, but to play women as the chief of excellence and handsomeness.
The first queen of Japanese drama
Even with the "aura" of the chief male servant, Tenkai Yuki's tv actor road is not smooth. Stage actors attract attention with exaggerated performances, but on the screen they need to be restrained and delicate to impress people's hearts. Not only that, she has always played a man, and it is not so natural to be a woman. Therefore, in the years after leaving Takarazuka, Yuki Tenkai did not produce impressive works although he took on many plays.
From the age of 28 to 38, it is almost the golden age of actresses, the career is not good enough, there is no family, in exchange for other people, probably can not survive such a silent decade. However, Tenkai Yuki was not defeated, but repeatedly challenged and polished himself in a variety of roles. Finally, in 2005, she found Divorcing Women Lawyer.
After a series of accidents, The outstanding female lawyer Mamiya Takako, played by Tianhai, fell to the bottom of her lawyer career, and without discouragement, she gathered a group of "half-hanging" partners to restart her own dreams. Ten years of precipitated acting skills have finally been radiant, the atmospheric and cheerful Mamiya Takako has won the love of the audience, and Tenkai Yuki has finally met the drama path that suits herself: an independent and confident heroine.

The following year, the TV series "The Queen's Classroom" premiered, and Tenkai meticulously combed her long hair and changed into a black dress and a cold face, playing the stern teacher Akuzu Maaya.
Akuzu Masaya, who is cold and ruthless in appearance and extremely strict in managing students, seems to be a cruel and realistic educator, but in fact, he cares for and cares for students in his own way, and behind the cold face is a soft and warm heart.
Akuzu is also called a "golden sentence output machine", and many lines are still used in pinlai.
The performance difficulty of almost facial paralysis and extreme emotional tightening is not low, but Tianhai uses his profound performance skills, especially the delicate micro-expressions, to interpret the conflicting personality of Akuzu's cold and internal heat. Teacher Akuzu, who did not have a single expression from beginning to end, finally smiled at the end, and I don't know how many viewers have become a classic shot in the hearts of many viewers.
Not only did the ratings soar, but "The Queen's Classroom" even set off a discussion in Japan about whether education should create the ideal Garden of Eden or expose the cruel real world. With such a phenomenal performance, Tenkai Yuki won the Best Actress Award at the Japanese Drama Academy Awards, and also won the powerful "Queen of Japanese Drama" and returned to the peak of popularity.
Since then, the image of the independent and domineering heroine of the Queen of Tianhai has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although the types of characters are similar, Tianhai can always interpret them with different charms.
In "BOSS", she plays a special police officer who returned from the FBI in the United States, who is maverick and bold in her work, and cooperates with five subordinates to solve a series of difficult cases. After the broadcast, Tenkai Yuki became the first place in Japan's "most ideal boss" list for seven consecutive years, and the queen's charm is self-evident.
In "GOLD", she is even more powerful to play the domineering president Hayaot Yuri, not only has a successful career, the family is also very happy, and the three children under the Spartan education are the potential stocks for the Olympic championship. But the immaculate Otome, who is immaculate to the outside world, actually has her own trauma and vulnerability. Under the performance of Tenkai Yuki, this multi-faceted character is shaped into a three-dimensional and vivid, and the queen's acting skills are more restrained and delicate, and she is relaxed.
Today's Tenkai Yuki has long been more than a queen with an all-round aura, she can be an excellent cute and joyful Michelin three-star chef:

It can also be the president of a company that is bold and warm and healing:

Interpreting the same kind of role so many people and vividly, but with his own unique charm, Tenkai Yuki, who started again in a year of confusion, finally realized his dream of being an actor and once again became the chief queen recognized by the audience.
Life is a big heroine
In 2012, Yuki Tenkai starred in the Japanese drama "Don't Get Married", playing haruko Copper Island, a 44-year-old still unmarried horticultural designer.
Many people believe that this career-oriented unmarried person is a true portrayal of Tenkai Yuki. The 53-year-old Ishito is still single, and even publicly declared on the show that he would not get married for the rest of his life.
Like Haruko Copper Island, the Queen of The Heavenly Sea has a job she likes, a comfortable life, and is as happy as being single. In the play, she played a lot of powerful professional women, outside the play, Tenkai Yuxi has the same concentration and professionalism for work.
Although the ambition is not on the stage, Takarazuka's experience has achieved a strict self-discipline of the Tenkai. As a male servant in stage drama, it is not easy to transform into a TV drama actress, always with an exaggerated expression and powerful movements. In order to correct it, every time she finished shooting a film, she would review it herself very carefully, and if she was not satisfied, she asked the director to repeat it.
Passionate about acting and perfectionism, she also does not allow others to treat drama with a lax and lazy attitude. If you meet a lazy junior, Tianhai will stand up mercilessly to remind, this stern and serious look, really exactly the same as in "The Queen's Classroom".
Perhaps as Haruko Copper Island said, only work will not betray you, Tianhai has worked hard with himself to create a free sky, and even sighed: "It is better to be fit than to find a blind date!" Men will betray you, but muscles won't! (COCO silently put down the rice bowl in his hand)
It is such an independent and confident Tianhai that proves to the world that a person can also live a dashing and free life, no wonder she called herself "the last fortress of female celibacy", and was voted the first place in the list of "most wanted to be" for Japanese women in 2015.
But the Queen of Tianhai is not advocating unmarriedism, let alone a queen who is playing with her own loneliness and defeat. On the contrary, Tianhai is really cute in life, and privately loves to jump around alive, no longer the queen adult, only cute sea sea.
I also don't like to be framed by the handsome image of "Ji Circle General Attack", and I emphasize my femininity one by one.
Tianhai, who likes to laugh, often has emojis released in a big way, and there is no idol baggage at all.
When the mood arrives, I do not shy away from crying in front of the public, very true temperament.
After all, for Tianhai, the most important thing is to live according to his own heart. Just like although she decided not to get married, she would not let go when she met someone she liked, but in Tianhai's heart, the important thing was not a marriage contract, but two people who were sincerely together.
Even created the "Tianhai style" love state: comfortable with each other, satisfied with themselves, is what a good relationship should look like.
Tianhai once said that if you only appreciate extremely strong happiness, then unhappiness will occupy the majority of life. Sometimes happiness is just choosing what to eat, what to wear, what color lipstick to wear, and being able to choose the life you want is the most tangible little happiness.
Therefore, the 53-year-old Tianhai will never be anxious about the growing age number, because this is a happy and satisfying life that he has chosen.
Advocating self-preservation, she also encouraged her fans: "Please help yourself like you should help me!" ”
Tenkai's 30-year-old can be a rebirth, a 40-year-old can be the beginning, and a natural 50-year-old will not be late - as long as you live the life you choose, age is just a number. Not only the handsomeness of the chief male servant, nor only the domineering spirit of the Queen of Japanese Drama, Tenkai Yuki has more diversified and more self-determination and freedom, and truly uses his life to interpret a dashing and handsome big female lead drama.
