Abe Sadao’s Hit Success Overshadowed by Compliance Controversy and Agency Issues

Actor Sadawo Abe stars in the hit drama series “Inappropriate Enough” (TBS).

The drama tells the story of a teacher, played by Abe, who lives in 1986 and travels back in time to the present day. As those of you from the Showa era will know, back then there was no such thing as compliance, and harassment of all kinds was rampant to an extent that is unthinkable today.

In the first episode, Abe was suddenly asked by a woman, “What was your first experience with a girl?

He also punished a student by hitting her on the buttocks with a baseball bat.
You’re a woman’s bitch.”
You’re just as ugly as a man!

and even takes out a cigarette and smokes it wherever he goes.

It seems that it was not good to broadcast the film as it was, and the following is a brief description of the scene in the film.

This film contains inappropriate dialogue and smoking scenes.

In view of the nature of this drama, which depicts changes in language, culture, and customs over time, expressions from 1986 have been used.

The message, “This drama contains inappropriate dialogues and smoking scenes.

The script for the drama, which is already being treated as “problematic,” was written by Kudo Kankuro. A sports newspaper reporter in charge of entertainment said

Kudo understands the trend toward compliance, but he is concerned about the current narrowing of the range of expression. This drama is a poignant work that takes a backhanded approach to the compliant society. It must be the antithesis of Kudo-kan’s style.

Kudo-kan’s style is the antithesis of the current situation,” he surmises.

Interestingly, the viewership was particularly high among FT (females aged 13-19) and M3 (males aged 50 and over). Imadoki girls and their Showa-born fathers sit in front of the TV, chewing on the generation gap,

“What’s wrong with that?

It is easy to imagine an image of an Imadoki girl and her Showa-born father in front of the TV, chewing on the generation gap and talking about “what’s wrong and what’s right.

Kudo-kan is a master at reading this area. The story has been buzzing on the Internet news, and is sure to become even more of a topic of conversation in the future.

Kudo-kan and Abe, who plays the lead role, belong to the same “Adult Project. It is not surprising that the two actors are in synch with each other, but the agency has been in a state of upheaval since the end of last year.

This is because Seminosuke Murasugi (real name: Tomokazu Murasugi), an actor belonging to Adult Project, was arrested on December 11, 2008 on suspicion of violating the Narcotics Control Law.

The arrest was based on suspicion of multiple transfers of illegal drugs from early November two years ago to mid-January of this year. It is believed that he met the trafficker on the Internet and received the illegal drugs by letter pack.

In response, Adult Project issued an apology on its official website. An event by Suzuki Matsuo, who runs the theater company, was also canceled.

Murasugi was later re-arrested by the Fukushima Prefectural Police on suspicion of possessing approximately 0.5 grams of marijuana liquid at his home.

Seminosuke is not well known, but he has been cast in supporting roles in numerous dramas. In terms of the number of jobs he has done, he far surpasses Sadawo Abe. At the time of his arrest, he had some work in progress, so Adult Project President Makiko Nagasaka took the lead in contacting all relevant parties to apologize.

When I saw the president at the beginning of the year, she had lost a lot of weight, probably because she was so exhausted from the Seminosuke incident. I can only say that I am sorry for her loss: …….” (A source in the entertainment industry)

The name “Seminosuke Murasugi” still remains on the website of Adult Project. According to a person involved in the project, “It would be easy to fire him.

“It would be easy to fire him, but he doesn’t seem to want to do so.

The drama’s success was a big hit for the agency. The hit drama seems to have been the first good news to reach the agency in a long time.
