Genta Matsuda, who got his break as a “silly character,” is appearing in more dramas… Fuji Television’s “happy scream” after the success of the show.

Matsuda played the role that Matsujun used to play. It was a difficult role where his heart was torn between several women, but he performed it beautifully. In the final episode, a family photo of him and Natsuko Yokozawa as a married couple was shown, and there was even a service shot that included the narration “Poka Poka na Kazoku.

Yokozawa, a regular on “Poka Poka” on Mondays, had professed to be a Matsuda fan, so she was included in the show as a joke, but it became a big hit. Naturally, Fuji Television seemed to be behind it, and I think they showed their willingness to cooperate in any way for the sake of our Matsuda.

(A TV magazine editor) “Although he was thought to be only a ‘silly’ character, he showed his talent in “Tokyo Tower”. In “Poka Poka,” Matsuda learned a new choreography assigned to him during the show and performed it perfectly at the ending.

In fact, “Poka Poka” counts the number of fans who come to Fuji TV every day, and although the six-member group “SHOW-WA” is quite popular, it is said that many fans come for Matsuda.

For Fuji Television, he is the new star of the “silly character” that they have been looking for, and like the other members of the group, Matsuda …… is likely to be approached by the stage and drama teams as well.

The office probably really wants him to do singing and dramas, not variety shows,” said Matsuda. The question remains as to how they can come to terms with that.

Perhaps with this in mind, Matsuda will appear as a student in the July season of “Billion X School” (Fuji Television), starring Ryosuke Yamada as a teacher. Fuji Television is undoubtedly keeping him in their sights, but can he really be the “face of variety TV,” which was his original goal? We can almost hear the happy screams of the audience…
