Noriko Eguchi: The role of the newly promoted Minister of Transportation in Naoki Hanzawa 2
"I started thinking about 'making money, living on my own, wanting to do what I want to do' from a long time ago. In short, I want to get a job and support myself. "
Noriko Eguchi, who played the role of the powerful Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in the Popular Japanese TV series "Naoki Hanzawa", said so.
Sometimes she is a Chinese restaurant owner who speaks a slight dialect Chinese, and sometimes she is a bland but serious proofreader, Ms. Eguchi, who plays these unique roles, has been debuting for 20 years, focusing on her acting career and has no other side business.
And the reason she's so insistent is...
<h1>I didn't go to high school and started my career as an actor</h1>
Eguchi was born in Akashi City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. There are two older brothers, one older sister, and five younger sisters. In the lively family, the brothers and sisters play outside every day from morning to night.
I went to junior high school and never went to high school. At that time, Eguchi himself also had a thought that he did not want to learn anymore. The eldest in the family did not go to high school, and my father also said that 'I don't want to go, I can not go'.
However, what Eguchi wants to do is to make money. "I don't have a pocket money system in my family, so I've been thinking 'make money, live by myself, and do what I want to do'. Anyway, want to find a job to live on their own. Eguchi's desire to become an actor has also sprouted at this time.
After graduating from Eguchi High School and just entering the spring break, he began to look for a job and wandered in front of the station, and then went to the shop with the word "Recruitment" and asked them, "Can you give me a job?" "
Eguchi's first job was at an Udon noodle shop, but working there lasted only a month. Although I work to make money, in the blink of an eye, I think, "What am I so desperate for?" The unthinkable Eguchi soon quit his job at the Udon noodle shop and began working in the singing studio.
The work there is almost any work other than cashiering, such as payment, cleaning, cooking, etc. Didn't give me the cash register because the boss didn't trust me? The salary there was 800 yen per hour, and because the salary target I set could not be less than 750 yen, I decided to stick to the hourly wage line of about 820 yen no matter what I did.
<h1>"Looking at my former self now, I am still ashamed. Sometimes I think so</h1>."
When I was working in the singing room, I suddenly had the idea of "why do I do this from morning to night", and as a result, I resigned after 2 and a half months.
The next job was a waitress at the restaurant, which lasted for three months. The reason is that among the regulars was a very handsome carpenter boy. Although he plucked up the courage to write a letter to confess, he did not come after the construction of the nearby construction site was over. Because of this, Eguchi quit his job in the store.
After graduating from junior high school, I never chatted or played with my friends in my hometown anymore. Although most of the junior high school classmates have entered high school, Eguchi himself has chosen to work, but the idea of "not choosing which road now, I feel very ashamed of my former self" has always been in Eguchi's heart.
Since then, although I have been transferring around the fashion building clothing store, record store and other places in front of the station, it is only 1 to 2 months, and I have to give my mother a part of the part-time work fee and lend money to my eldest brother, so I can't save money during work. Until the next job decision, Eguchi had been using this money to support himself. Although he worked hard for two years from the age of 16 to 18, he finally left only about 20,000 yen in his hand.
Eguchi left his hometown at the age of 19. Taking 20,000 yen from working for the 'Troupe Tokyo Dry Battery' test, I came to Tokyo to participate in the entrance ceremony. Coincidentally, it happened to be Eguchi's birthday. "Now I can finally live the life I want!" Eguchi did not feel uneasy about whether he could live as a Tokyoite at all.
<h1>Live and work at a news agency</h1>
When Eguchi was a child, he enjoyed watching movies on NHK's BS. Later, when Eguchi was in junior high school, he suddenly thought, "What am I going to do in the future to pursue an acting career?" After that, I observed the works of curious troupes and playwrights that I came across by chance.
Among them, the most interesting thing for Eguchi is the "Theater Troupe Tokyo Dry Battery" led by Mr. Akira Tsujimoto. "I didn't like the stage where the positive performance would be intense to the point of sweating. I always feel embarrassed. And the dry battery has no place to force the show, so I thought, here, I can do it. Eguchi recalled.
Eguchi often sees books in movies and TV series, and books written by the troupe's writer, Iwamatsu Takeshi, are often borrowed from the library to read. At that time, I liked "Dangerous Police".
<h1>As an actor</h1>
Eguchi entered the troupe on his 19th birthday in Beijing and is still in the troupe. Many actors have abandoned the troupe and found a new agency, and the place where Eguchi was first favored is still there. It made her feel like a very happy thing. Sometimes it also makes Eguchi feel: "I can actually choose this troupe." ”
In the future, I would like to try out male characters or play musical instruments. Enjoyed the practice of the troupe. But to say that, there really would be such a commission. I'm sorry, I'm just talking casually, don't blow it up (laughs) Eguchi talked about his future plans in a humorous tone.
