Actor Joe Odagiri attended the stage greeting for the completion of the movie "Gekiei Kodoku no Gourmet" (directed by Yutaka Matsushige), which was held in Tokyo on December 16th and will be released on January 10th. He was sweating so much that he had to leave the stage midway through.
During the stage greeting, Odagiri began by saying, "I'm really sweating right now. Can I go back and wipe myself off for a bit?" He then explained, "I just had an energy drink to ease my tension. I didn't want to drink alcohol either..." He then disappeared backstage, then returned to the stage with a hand towel in hand.
Odagiri, who was still sweating afterwards, was teased by Matsushige, who asked, "What kind of energy drink did you drink?" Odagiri replied with a wry smile, "But it was one that was in the dressing room. I wonder if they put something in it."
Yuki Uchida, Hayato Isomura, and Anne also appeared on stage to greet the audience.
" The Kodoku no Gourmet" is a film adaptation of the popular TV series "The Kodoku no Gourmet" (TV Tokyo) starring Matsushige, as a special project to celebrate the 60th anniversary of TV Tokyo's launch. The story is about the protagonist Goro Inogashira (Matsushige) who goes on a journey to "find the ultimate soup" at the request of his ex-girlfriend's grandfather, and gets caught up in various incidents in Japan, Korea, and France. Matsushige will be the director, scriptwriter, and lead actor in this film.
