Actress Kasumi Yamatani appeared on the talk variety show "Nikenme Dosuru? ~Tsumami no Hanashi~" (TV Tokyo, Saturday midnight 12:55), which aired late at night on September 13th. She revealed that she is currently working part-time at an izakaya.

Yamatani has appeared in the NHK Asadora dramas "Amachan" (2013) and "Ranman" (2023), the historical drama "The 13 Lords of the Shogun" (2022), and the Super Sentai series "Shuriken Sentai Ninninger" (2015-2016).

Yamatani is now 28 years old and has appeared in numerous productions, but suddenly confessed, "I still have a part-time job." When Matsuoka was surprised and asked, "A part-time job?! Where?", Yamatani revealed, "I work in the dining area of ​​an izakaya in Ebisu (Tokyo)."

When Daikichi asked, "You probably don't need to do that (part-time job), so why do you do it?", he explained his reason, saying, "This job alone may be tough, but I can do what I can. I can make a living, but I've been doing this job since elementary school, and there was a time when I felt anxious. There were times when I thought I had become an adult without knowing a lot of things. I felt a sense of crisis that this industry was the only thing I knew."

He continued, "When I was a teenager, I thought it was cool for adults to speak casually to taxi drivers, but that shop taught me that that wasn't the case. I learned that I had been mistaken, that I was wrong."

Matsuoka and Daikichi were impressed, saying, "It's amazing that you noticed that," and "That's quite something." Yamatani also spoke of the joys of part-time work, saying, "I'm happy when people don't just go out of their way to be considerate and say things like, 'Just a beer!'"
