However, even if you become a player who can give you a dream, the day will soon come and retire from the ornate stage and proceed to another way.

For this time, I asked Mr. Kenichi Yoshimura who is active as an actor at the athlete's second career as a GK at the J League Yokohama Flugerus (absorbed in Yokohama F Marinos after disappearing in January 1999) Did.

Yoshimura-san will appear in the drama "Sorry, I love you" starring Tomoya Nagase, which will be aired on TBS Sunday Theater from July 9th, but it seems that there have been various events up to now.

Q: It seems that he was a soccer player before becoming an actor. Please tell me if there is an impressive episode of the time.

Yoshimura:Although I joined as GK in 1994 in the second year of the J League and it was only about a year, I was accompanied by Edou players and Miura Atsuhiro (then Junhiro) players' free kick practice .

Edou players are fast balls stabbing in the corners of the goal that they can not move even if they set themselves at the moment of kicking, Miura Atsuhiro was a free kick like a manga that the kicked up ball drove off quickly .

I was surprised, for the first time such a feeling. The Fergus era was a short period, but now it was a precious experience.

If the house is now in a fire, you will absolutely get away with a box with a flugels uniform or practice wear. (Lol)


Q: Please tell us how you went from becoming an actor after quitting soccer.

Yoshimura:After leaving Flugels in 1995, you were coaching the soccer club at your school and attending soccer-related events sponsored by sports makers.

Was it interesting for the actors around 2001? Prior to the World Cup of Korea and Japan in 2002, soccer-related CMs have increased, so they came to be called GK role.

Although I am interested in a play, since my age was already in the middle of my twenties, I could hardly find my office. At that time, Japanese and Korean celebrities were invited to the event to play football at Suwon World Cup Stadium.

At that time I was asked to say "I am looking for a Japanese role by drama," and after moving to the South Korea after the World Cup finish I moved the base to South Korea.

Q: What kind of life did you live in Korea?

Yoshimura:
I went to Korea style acting that Japanese actors do not have and crossed the ocean in order to compete in Japan. But since I did not have work everyday, I went to the gym every morning and kept the daily life of litterfall in a room of my office for about a year.

When I became able to speak Korean a little, when I contacted the Korean team who fought with entertainer football, I became to be told that "Does football do not do at home?" Friendship spread widened. I entered the four teams and the majority of the week was soccer. (Lol)

Q: How did you increase the place of activity in Korea?

Yoshimura:I tried to make personal connections from around the football team. Even though it was a celebrity futsal, it was a blessed environment with a proper sponsor and uniforms and spikes.

I used to go back to Japan, but the turning point came in 2007. At that time, a program in which foreigners appeared and talked about South Korea was popular, and I was called there.

If you talk about a college episode you went to to learn words, you'll make me laugh. It has come to be called by variety shows and dramas.

Although it was a lot of Japanese roles, in 2010 I was co-starring with I · Byung Hun at "IRIS-Iris", and I was also in charge of teaching Japanese.

Q: Please tell me why you returned to Japan and the roles of "I am sorry, I love you" that will be a debut work in Japan and episodes on the scene.

Yoshimura:In October 2015, although I felt rewarding, I decided to return to Japan because I wanted to try a wider range of roles.

I have a close relationship with my current office and I was able to start acting in Japan as well, and the TBS-based Sunday Theater "I am sorry, I love you" will be the debut work of Japan.

Surprisingly, this time I will appear as a Korean character in a Korean remake drama. All the words are in Korean.

Besides acting, I was also in charge of language instruction to Nagase-kun and language supervision of the whole drama. You do not have to change what you are doing, even if you come back? " (Lol)

I enjoyed the drama surrounded by Japanese staff. At the same time, I knew that what I did in Korea was not wrong.

Even when I was at the Ferguses, I was told the coach 'have weapons!', But I would like to take full advantage of my selling points and continue to be active in the future.


Q: I am interested in the second career of athletes in Japan, but how do you think Mr. Yoshimura?

Thumb imgp6070

Yoshimura:It may be important for the leader to educate at the stage before becoming a professional. Even though I could be active as a professional player, I will definitely retire somewhere.

For the first time after retirement, it is better to avoid the situation where you notice the difference in sense of money, "Do you have a part-time job? Even if I do not understand when I was young, I think that it may be something that reminds me later.

It seems that some people say, "I burned out when I was a player and I don't know what I want to do after I retire," but I think there is absolutely something to do.

In today's society, the individual's choice of responsibility is getting bigger, there seems to be free seems to be free, but first of all, is not to find your own axis.

For example, I think that you can absolutely grasp success if we can earn money more than when you are a professional player, or if you can combine the feelings of losing and depriving cultivated in sports with different goals.

Q: Yoshimura who found a new axis acting as an actor to replace football, but I am sorry that the TBS-based Sunday Theater "Sorry, I Love You" (July 9 start at 21 o'clock) and the highlights of the ambassador are taught Please give me.

Yoshimura:Love will be a drama that makes you feel that you can beat anything. The highlight is Tomoya Nagase's coolness. (Lol)

Through actors, there are various people in the world, and everyone wants to tell that they have various faces, including emotions and emotions, in their hearts.

For example, no matter how good a man is, sometimes bad feelings and embarrassed emotions come out beforehand, I think that it would be good if we could play various aspects of human beings.
