<p> It was a little past noon in early September, and Shinobu Otake (66) was interacting with a fan in front of a theater in Ginza, Tokyo.</p>
<p> She was surrounded by fans waiting for her when she came out of her dressing room after the performance of &#8220;Furu Amerika ni Sode wa Nurasaji&#8221;, a play in which she starred. She was wearing a one-piece dress with her arms hanging out and white leather shoes, and her fashion was full of a cute atmosphere.</p>

<p><strong> She has been at the forefront of TV dramas and stage performances for nearly half a century since her debut, but her attitude of taking good care of her fans has not changed at all. He always responds to us fans in the same natural way as if we were his friends, just as we see him on TV,&#8221; said one fan.</strong></p>
<p> When Ohtake was asked to have her picture taken, she had her hair styled by a woman who appeared to be her manager, shrugging her shoulders and showing a look of shame. She looked like a little girl who was asked to have her picture taken for the first time.</p>

<p> Co-star Kota Yabu (33) of &#8220;Hey! Say! JUMP&#8221; was interviewed on stage after the open rehearsal on January 1,</p>
<p><strong> I was scared and nervous every day,&#8221; he said. He always tells me, &#8216;There is another way to do it, so why don&#8217;t you digest it in your mind and try it?</strong></p>
<p> I&#8217;m so grateful for Otake&#8217;s experience. Ohtake is known as a &#8220;possessive actress,&#8221; and it is said that she shows a completely different face on and off the stage. This gap between the two is sure to keep her fans enthralled for years to come.</p>

 After the performance, Shinobu Otake was found chatting with fans waiting for her to leave the stage. She was looking "cute" as she had her hair done by a woman who looked like her manager before taking her picture! The gap between her onstage appearance and her "real" appearance made her fans fall in love with her.

Shinobu Ohtake, who has passed her midlife span but still looks &#8220;cute&#8221;, gets her hair done before having her picture taken with fans after the performance.
