Junichi Ishida (70) is an actor who once enjoyed immense popularity as a trendy actor. Although he has been active in various fields such as acting, TV personality, and news anchor, his TV appearances have decreased recently… Since 2023, he has been running a yakiniku restaurant in Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture. Abema Entertainment exclusively follows Ishida, who works at a suburban yakiniku restaurant. We got closer to its current appearance. On the day of the interview, Ishida specified the meeting place to be… Funabashi Station, where his store is located. Ishida says he commutes from his home in Tokyo by train, taking about an hour and a half. –Why did you open a store in Funabashi? Ishida: If you pass by, you’ll see that Funabashi is known for its “Senbero” restaurants. They have a lot of really cheap places where you can get drunk for 1,000 yen, and the food is pretty tasty, but also really cheap. That’s true normally, by 4 or 5 o’clock, and on weekends around 3 o’clock everyone starts drinking and gets drunk. I think that’s a good thing about it. –So you did your own research, Mr. Ishida. Ishida: That’s right. The atmosphere around here is the Funabashi I have in my mind. This is the kind of place I came to. That’s why I’ve been aiming for this area from the beginning. High-rise apartment buildings can still be built in front of the station in this area. A luxury high-rise apartment that we couldn’t even afford. –Even you, Ishida? Ishida: I can’t buy it, I can’t buy it. To put it bluntly, there was a feeling that “I absolutely cannot fail.” This is it. It’s kind of like a house. This place is independent and I thought it was a really nice property. –When did you start the shop? Ishida: May of last year. –How did you decide on the name of the restaurant?
[Omitted] ●The reason for the dramatic decline in the number of TV appearances… Ishida: I can only imagine what’s wrong. For example, it’s inevitable that people will say things like our response to the coronavirus outbreak was poor or that we went out too much. But that’s all…it’s fine to deny your personality, but it’s a bit painful when your life is denied as well. –What’s the situation with entertainment work and TV? Ishida: It’s decreased a lot. There’s a lot less TV now though. –How many centimeters are there? Ishida: 9 in 1. Eight are gone. –Have you been a regular on TV? Ishida: Yes, I have. All three are gone. It’s been four years, so it’s starting to come up a little again. I sold it all: golf memberships, cars, houses. But I can live my life without bothering anyone, so there’s no reason for anyone to say anything about it. –This is a difficult question to ask, but has your income dropped significantly? Ishida: It has dropped significantly. Well, I went to a demonstration and thought that maybe I would end up earning half of what I was normally earning until recently. It was an anti-war demonstration. So I told my wife, “My income might be cut in half, but I have to go.” He asked me, “Even if I stop you, you’re still going, right?” and I said, “Yes, I’ll go.” I thought it would be half, but it ended up being a tenth.
