Iide comments, but Takahashi remains silent… “After” the birth of Issei Takahashi and Marie Iide, a big couple with a 17-year age difference.

It was in July that “FRIDAY” reported the passionate love affair of a very big couple, Issei Takahashi (42) and Marie Iide (24). The two had co-starred in the recently broadcast NHK drama “Kishibe Rohan wa Mukonen wa Mukonen” Vol. 3, but their first encounter dates back to the filming of the first episode two years ago. Let’s look back at the details of how they fell in love, based on an article distributed on August 12, 2010 (ages, titles, etc. in the article are correct at the time of publication).

Among the many works in which Issei Takahashi (41) has appeared, the special drama “Kishibe Rohan wa Mukonenai” (NHK), which was broadcast at the end of 2008 and 2009, is particularly unique. A spin-off of the popular comic “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure,” Takahashi’s Rohan Kishibe is a psychic manga artist with an eccentric personality and eccentric hair style. It has been said that it would be difficult to make a live-action version of Rohan Kishibe, but Takahashi was able to get into the role.

Marie Iide (24) showed her presence in the role of the capricious female editor who is pushed around by this “Takahashi Rohan. The interaction between the two was one of the main reasons why the film attracted so much attention.

They were a great duo during the filming,” said Iide. Iide is a health-conscious person who goes to bed early and gets up early, never misses a morning walk, and makes miso soup with homemade miso made from mashed soybeans. (Laughs.) “Between takes, the two would discuss lines, chat, and laugh, showing that they were in tune with each other.

The stoic Takahashi learned his lines and movements a month in advance before going on set. Iide was drawn to Takahashi’s dependable advice as a senior actor with 32 years of experience in the field, and the two became closer as the shooting progressed.

During the filming of the second drama last fall, Mariye was feeling down with a stomachache, and for some reason, Issei asked her, “Would you like to dance with me? She said happily, ‘Yes! She happily replied, ‘Yes! and the two of them danced to the Oklahoma Mixer. The staff was taken aback by her outlandish behavior, just like Rohan (laughs). Later, when the drama was cranked up, Marie moved into Issei’s apartment,” said a source close to the show.

The two, who were 17 years apart in age, had become partners in private life as well. In the film, they were portrayed as characters with opposite personalities, but in reality, Takahashi and Iide are said to be on the same wavelength in many ways.

Both Takahashi and Iide are good cooks. Both of them don’t eat out very often and often go home after work to cook for themselves. As for social networking, Takahashi is not interested in social networking, and Iide does not post anything other than advertisements for her work. She often plays the role of a young girl of today, but I think she really has a calm personality and is comfortable as a dating partner. It seems that they are now spending time at Ms. Takahashi’s house while renting separate rooms in the same apartment” (Iide’s acquaintance).

On a certain day in August, we directly interviewed Iide after work.

–Thank you for your hard work. This is Friday. Could you tell us about your relationship with Issei Takahashi?

Iide: “………… (silence while walking)”

–Did your relationship start when you co-starred in the drama “Kishibe Rohan ha Mukonunaga wa Mukonunaga”?

Iide “………… (getting into a car)”

–Does Mr. Takahashi enjoy Mr. Iide’s cooking?

Iide “………… (closes the door)”

We later contacted the offices of both parties, but Takahashi’s office did not respond by the deadline, and Iide’s office responded, “It is not true.

Issei Takahashi has remained silent…

On December 19, Iide gave an interview to “MANTAN WEB” on the occasion of the broadcast of the third season of “Kishibe Rohan” as follows.

I had the privilege of working with Issei (Takahashi) for a long period of three years. He is an actor whom I respect, and it is a rare experience to play a role for a long time and be able to talk with him through the role.

Takahashi, on the other hand, made no mention of Iide. Takahashi, on the other hand, made no mention of Iide.

Takahashi will play the lead role of a pyrotechnician in the drama “6 Seconds to Go: The Melancholy of Fireworks Master Hoshitaro Mochizuki” (TV Asahi), which will start airing on January 14. Iide will also be a voice actor in the animated film “Black Rover: The Sword of the Magic Emperor,” which will be released in March. It is likely that he will have another full year of both public and private life.
