Mrs. Motoki Omori sang passionately in “Anpan” “Look Up at the Stars in the Night” recalling Takuya Kimura’s “Masterpiece Drama”.

Motoki Omori, who gained weight to prepare for his role.

Motoki Omori (28) of “Mrs. GREEN APPLE” appeared in the morning drama “Anban” (NHK), performing a classic song that shines brilliantly in the history of Showa-era songs. Even now, a few days later, the scene is still receiving a positive response on social networking sites, with fans posting their reverberations, and the scene is still winning the hearts of viewers, not just fans.

The film is modeled on Takashi Yanase, creator of “Anpanman,” and his wife, Nobu. Omori played the role of “Takuya Ise,” based on the Showa-era hit maker Taku Izumi.

In the 99th episode, he sang “Mimikagemoroni Yoru no Hoshi wo” (Look Up at the Stars at Night) a cappella. In the 101st episode, he sang “Palm of the Hand to the Sun” accompanied by the piano. The scene gave me goosebumps.

Omori had put on three to five kilograms and looked plumper than usual for the role of Takuya Isetani. The two songs were recorded first thing in the morning on the same day, and after stretching to get her throat in good shape, they were shot almost in one shot. The performance was a masterpiece. Since the role of the singer was to be a composer, he sang in a lower key than in the case of Mrs. GREEN APPLE. Izumitaku’s relatives who came to see the performance were also moved to tears.

(Director of a production company) “In singing a nationally famous song written by Izumitaku for this film,

I believe in the power of entertainment to save and inspire people’s hearts, which is something I share.

As someone who understands in some small way the greatness and difficulty of creating music, I will take responsibility in my performance.

Omori expresses these thoughts.

The original Japanese musical “Look Up at the Stars at Night” was first performed in 1960, and was revived in 1963 with singer Kyu Sakamoto in the title role. It was also made into a movie starring Sakamoto, and its music became a big hit. The song won the Best Songwriting Award at the 5th Japan Record Award, and Sakamoto sang it at the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Singing Contest).

On August 12, the same week Omori sang “Mimikagoregorano Yoru no Hoshi wo” (Look up at the Stars in the Night), it was coincidentally 40 years since Kyu Sakamoto lost his life in the crash of a Japan Airlines jumbo jet. Moreover, since the singing scene appeared at 8:12, it attracted a lot of attention on SNS.

But that was not the only thing that drew attention.

I put on a cassette tape I picked up by the lake: ……

Watching Omori sing “Mimikagoregorano Yoru no Hoshi wo” (Look up at the Stars at Night) with great enthusiasm, I was reminded of that classic drama.

It was the TV drama series “Sora kara furu 100 million no hoshi” (Fuji Television Network), a Monday 9 drama series starring Akashiya Sanma (70) and Takuya Kimura (52).

Eriko Kitagawa, the “goddess of romance,” directed “Sora Kara Kuru Hoshi,” which aired in the spring of 2002, and achieved an average viewer rating of 22.6%. The final episode, which ended tragically, attracted a great deal of attention, recording an average viewer rating of 27.0%. The sad and sorrowful song “Mimikagoregorano Yoru no Hoshi wo” sung by Kyu Sakamoto is a part of the story.

Ryo (Kimura) and Yuko (Fukatsu Eri) fall in love without knowing they are brother and sister. However, Yuko shoots Ryo dead, mistakenly believing that Ryo has approached her father, Kanzo (Sanma), to take revenge. Yuko reads the letter left behind and learns the truth. In despair, Yuko embraces Ryo and goes out on the lake to commit suicide on a small boat. This shocking scene still remains in the hearts of many viewers.

Moreover, Ryo, played by Kimura, is a dark hero who approaches women for money and uses Yuki (Kou Shibasaki) and Miu (Haruka Igawa) to kill those who get in his way. Ryo’s melancholy appearance was a breakthrough for Takuya Kimura, who at the time was known as “Kimura Taku no matter what he plays.

Kanzo rushed to the scene later but could not make it in time, and played a cassette tape he picked up at the lakeside in his car. Kanzo, who could not make it in time, plays a cassette tape he picked up at the lakeside alone in his car, and is moved to tears by Kyu Sakamoto’s “Look Up at the Stars at Night. The timeless, classic song colored the tragic climax of the drama.

Miho Nakazono, who directed the morning drama “Anpan” and Eriko Kitagawa, who directed “Sora Kara Kuru 100 Million Stars. The two great rivals who colored the Heisei era unexpectedly picked up “Look up at the Stars at Night”. The Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras have not diminished the brilliance of this classic song.
