When I greet mornings in the hotel,
I often wake up because of my throat hurting from the dryness in the room.
In addition, I picked up a wake-up call
from my secretary who was already awake.
『I’m already awake… My throat hurts…』
Despite that it’s already close to summer,
I wonder why the hotel is this dry.
I did my training, and quickly got prepared.
Today, I was going to have tea with Yokouchi Tadashi-san, who I haven’t met in a long while.
I got to know him through a historical drama, I wonder how many years has passed since.
Incidentally, it seems that Yokouchi-san will be 76 this year,
but he’s still actively working as an actor in the forefront.
It’s wonderful.
No matter what industry you’re in, it’s difficult
to remain active the more you age.
I went down in the elevator and went into the hotel,
and that wonderful smile that I haven’t seen in awhile was there.
It seems that he’s also acting as the lead in King Lear this year too,
and he has entered the Guinness World Records for acting as a lead in King Lear at 76 years old.
Even though we’re meeting after such a long while,
he’s looking wonderful, without showing any signs of decline.
Instead,
it might be me instead who has aged quite a bit.
It appears that the performance period is in August,
and just happens to overlap my scheduled stay overseas.
I’ll adjust the timing and come back to Japan.
Just like that,
I headed towards G Studio and began recording.
Despite that we ended up recording until the very last moment,
we were unable to finish it but
when we ended the session and wanted to go outside,
the door was locked and we couldn’t get out…
After being locked in for around an hour and a half, when we came out
there were signs that filming was done.
When we asked what happened,
they said that those Camui♂Gakuen guys were filming here without permission again.
It’s a real problem.
I thought it was the staff who were busily running around but
they were apparently asked by the Student Council President to lock me up.
It seems like Camui♂Gakuen’s Gakuen Festival will be starting soon
and they contacted me, asking me to go incognito again but…
It can’t be helped.
I’ll adjust my timing and go watch them.
Well then,
I guess I’ll get back to recording…
