<p> Akashiya Sanma (68) and Otake Shinobu (66) have been the talk of the town for their first drama collaboration in 27 years.</p>
<p> It was last fall when the production of &#8220;Heart is Lonely, Feelings are &#8230;&#8221; FINAL (Fuji Television Network, scheduled to air on April 27), the latest in the 21-year drama series starring Sanma, was announced. Since the series so far had attracted much attention for its splendid co-starring cast, people wondered, &#8220;Will Ohtake appear in the series? The drama series was also known as &#8220;The Drama of the Year&#8221; and &#8220;The Drama of the Year&#8221;.</p>

<p><span class="strongInContent"> The first episode of this drama was broadcast in 1984. While the story itself is serious, it is a unique drama with nonsense gags and ad-libs by the cast in places. This time, the setting is a detective drama, with Sanma playing a detective on the verge of retirement. His wife is played by Yō Yoshida and his daughter by Kawaguchi Haruna (29).</span></p>
<p> Otake&#8217;s appearance was announced on April 13. Otake was interviewed by &#8220;TVLIFE web&#8221; (April 13),</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I thought, &#8220;Mr. Sanma must be really happy to be able to make that &#8216;My Heart is Lonely, My Feelings are &#8230;&#8217; again.</span></p>
<p> I thought he must be really happy to be able to make &#8216;Heart is Lonely, Feelings are &#8230;&#8217; again,&#8221; he said, more in sympathy with Sanma&#8217;s feelings than his own.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> This is the fourth time Otake has participated in this series. Her first appearance was in &#8220;Summer Stories of Seven Men and Seven Women&#8221; (TBS) in 1986, in which she appeared as &#8220;Momoko Kanzaki,&#8221; a character she played herself in the August episode. They must have been good partners both publicly and privately from that time on.</span></p>
<p> In May 1988, Ohtake appeared for the second time in &#8220;The Heart is. Just around the same time, on April 26, &#8220;FRIDAY&#8221; took their first two-shot together. At the press conference announcing the production of the movie &#8220;Ikokamodoroka,&#8221; they showed us a perfect fit of flirtatious banter. Later, the two of them at the launch of the same movie, a trip to Hawaii &#8230;&#8230;. Let&#8217;s look back on those days with these treasured photos.</p>
<h3> Lip service to &#8220;hugging each other in the dressing room</h3>
<p> Sanma and Ohtake, the famous duo behind the hit TV drama &#8220;Seven Men, Seven Women, Seven Autumn Tales&#8221; (TBS), which began airing in October 1987 and averaged nearly 30 percent in the ratings, teamed up again to produce the movie &#8220;Ikokamodoroka&#8221;.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" They hug each other backstage."></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent">The script was written by Toshio Kamata, who also wrote the &#8220;7 Men, 7 Women&#8221; series, and directed by Jiro Ikuno, who also directed the same series. In this slapstick comedy, Sanma plays a businessman who is being chased by a gang for debt, and Otake plays a woman who gambles and spends the company&#8217;s money, and the two plan a heist. At the time, there were rumors of a relationship between the two, so the movie was a big hit, thanks in part to that effect&#8221; (movie magazine editor).</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> When Sanma arrived 50 minutes late for the press conference because he was playing grass baseball, Otake said, &#8220;If you&#8217;re not going to come, just say you&#8217;re not going to come, and I&#8217;ll be there,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> When Sanma attacked him, saying, &#8220;If you&#8217;re not going to come, just say so.</span></p>
<p> When Sanma attacked him, Ohtake replied, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry for all the trouble I&#8217;ve caused you,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I&#8217;m going to cause you a lot of trouble, but please don&#8217;t worry about the wrinkles on my face while we&#8217;re filming.</span></p>
<p> The interviewers asked him, &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you come backstage? When asked by an interviewer if they fight backstage, Sanma replied, &#8220;No, we hug backstage,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> No, we hug each other in the dressing room.</span></p>
<p> He made them laugh. It was six months later that the two got married. They divorced in September 1992. Their marriage ended after only four years, but everyone knows how well they get along.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> When asked about his performance in &#8220;Kokoro wa~,&#8221; Ohtake replied, &#8220;I wasn&#8217;t always conscious of it,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I wasn&#8217;t always conscious of it (although I am conscious of the flow in the case of talks), but I was aware of the tension and the high tension to a certain extent. But I left the final flow to Mr. Sanma&#8221; (TVLIFE web).</span></p>
<p> (TVLIFE web) &#8220;I have full confidence in him,&#8221; she said,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> He was full of praise for Sanma&#8217;s attractiveness as an actor, saying, &#8220;He is probably much more serious than you think&#8221; (&#8220;TVLIFE web&#8221;).</span></p>
<p> He was full of praise for Sanma&#8217;s attractiveness as an actor, saying, &#8220;He&#8217;s probably a lot more serious than you think. We wonder if this collaboration will be an opportunity for them to &#8220;get back together&#8221; again.</p>
