■Youji Tanaka x Genta Matsuda, the guests on the November 30th broadcast are a unique combination of a support player and an idol!
Actor Yoji Tanaka and Travis Japan’s Genta Matsuda will appear as guests on Nippon Television’s “Meshidora Kanechika & Shinnosuke’s Gourmet Drive” (every Saturday from 11:55am), which will be broadcast on November 30th.
Yoji Tanaka (nicknamed BoBA) and Genta Matsuda were waiting at Yanagibuchi Bridge in Kamanofuchi Park in Ome City, Tokyo. Why are famous vice player Tanaka and idol Matsuda both guests on “Meshidora”? There are too many things to worry about in the 4th shot, but for now, Meshidora starts with a title call from Hashi Noue.
After taking a look at the “Wakaayu Statue” in the park, the four of them immediately get into the car. It’s the usual formation with Shinnosuke Mitsushima and Daiki Kanechika (EXIT) in the front seats and two guests in the back seats, but the 4-shot including BoBA feels very strange.
First of all, I decided to ask Tanaka about the reason for his debut. BoBA, who worked as a JNR employee in his hometown of Nagano, is said to have worked in Aichi as an employee of JR Tokai after JNR was privatized.
BoBA says, “While I was going to a movie theater in Nagoya, I got to know a movie director,” “He asked me if I wanted to be in the movie,” and “I was having so much fun on set that I got sidetracked.” “For about three years after I moved to Tokyo at the age of 27, I worked in the lighting department to make ends meet,” he says of his hardships at the time.
The first shop of the day was Hesomanju Sohonpo, which I happened to find in the car. While waiting for Ome City’s famous confectionery, Hesoman, to steam, BoBA suddenly discovers something. What did BoBA discover, saying, “I was surprised, I can’t hear any more conversations?”
Kanechika’s usual gag about how delicious the freshly made manju is is not fully conveyed to BoBA, but they hit it off by finding a coffee shop.
On the way to the next store, Mitsushima says, “The earliest one opens at 10 o’clock,” and Matsuda replies, “It’s the best!” When Kanechika said, “I want to eat pasta,” Matsuda’s response was, “I totally agree!” After that, Matsuda continued to demonstrate his amazing ability to agree with the three of them, saying, “It’s the best!”, “It’s seriously the best!”, “Oh, it’s the best, it’s the best!”
When Kanechika saw this, he muttered, “I want a girlfriend like this,” and Mitsushima asked, “What about Genta? Do you want a girlfriend who agrees with you, or do you want a girlfriend who agrees with you?” The situation changes completely. .
Matsuda replied, “I’m sorry, I don’t really understand what you’re saying,” to which Kanechika replied, “I thought it was both,” and BoBA agreed, “It seems like we’re saying the same thing.” Unable to get anyone to agree, Mitsushima tries to explain things in even more confusing ways, but Matsuda’s answer is, “What are you talking about? Seriously.”
When I finally got the confusion under control, I arrived at “CAFE Shizuku”. This is a cafe run by Ozawa Sake Brewery, which brews Okutama’s local sake, Sawanoi. Mr. Ozawa of Ozawa Sake Brewery was a bit pushy in asking for permission to take pictures, and we were allowed to tour the inside of the brewery. After being impressed by the sake brewing industry that has been in operation for over 300 years, the four of them were moved again by the spectacular autumn view from the cafe’s terrace seats.
As the four of them continue on their way to their next destination, the topic of conversation is music. When asked about the music he often listens to while driving, Matsuda replies, “Spitz and Back Number.” BoBA’s answer, on the other hand, was a surprising one: “I like techno music, right?”
After this, we arrived at the Mitake Tozan Railway Cable Car, with some confusion about BoBA and Babo-chan.
Since the departure time of the cable car was approaching, we decided to hop on the cable car and then asked for permission to take pictures later, an innovative style. Despite this, I was greeted with the kind words of the staff, who said, “This time it’s OK,” and I arrived at “Flying Squirrel Wing.” “It’s a little scary! Hey hey hey!” What is the Flying Squirrel Wing that makes Mitsushima seriously frightened?
The last restaurant is Nakagawa☆Sue Shokudo. At this point, it is finally revealed why the guests on this day were an unusual combination of a famous vice player and Travis Japan. Matsuda asked him to come to BoBA because he had something he wanted to ask Yoji Tanaka, who is a senior actor.
When asked by Matsuda, “What do you focus on and what makes you enjoy it (as an actor)?”, Tanaka replied, “It’s easier to be accepted if you clearly have something like your favorite genre, and the way you communicate is different. ” he yelled.
The game to decide who will pay for the day’s trip is “Let’s match the theme.” The question was, “What do you mean by pasta?” Who will pay today?
