The annual New Year's Eve "NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen" is approaching. Hiroshi Oizumi (48 years old) is the host of the White Team for the second year in a row. What kind of emcee will Oizumi, who refrains from appearing in next year's Taiga drama "Kamakura-dono no 13-nin", show? Columnist Perry Ogino explains. ＊ ＊ ＊ This year is also the season of "NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen". This time, I would like to focus on the moderator, Yo Oizumi.

Last year, Oizumi, who appeared on Kohaku as the host of the white group, was the top batter of the "Kendama world record" challenge, and although he misunderstood the kendama as a microphone and brought it to his mouth, he was perfectly placed on the plate. clear in one go. After that, Superfly rushed to the place where Superfly sang "Ai wo Komete Hanataba wo" with a dash from NHK Hall, and shouted "Bravo !!" to the singing voice, and said "I came! "Thank you, Sayuri!" The script is set in seconds, and it is very difficult to do one ad-lib. Also, it seems that "Bravo" is originally correct to say "Brava (brava)" to women, but I thought it would be a bad idea to suddenly shout unfamiliar words, so "bo" and "va" It is said that he was voicing about halfway through. Daikichi Hakata was said to have a "service spirit", but in fact, he was very considerate. This year, I'm curious about Oizumi's appearance as Minamoto no Yoritomo in next year's Taiga drama "Kamakura-dono no Thirteen". Speaking of Yoritomo, it is known that he killed his younger brother Minamoto no Yoshitsune, who risked his life to overthrow the Taira clan. Along with Nobunaga Oda, who killed his younger brother Nobuyuki, and Iemitsu Tokugawa, who ordered his younger brother, Tadanaga, who was said to have fought for the position of shogun, to commit seppuku, Yoritomo can be considered one of the "three most hated older brothers." Especially in the case of Yoritomo, Yoshitsune is often portrayed as a handsome young man who admires his older brother, and the aftermath is quite intense. When FUJIWARA no Hidehira, who had been hiding Yoshitsune in Oshu Hiraizumi, died, Yoritomo ordered Hidehira's son Yasuhira to 'kill Yoshitsune.' Yoritomo succumbed to the pressure, attacked Yoshitsune, and forced him to commit suicide. Instead of acknowledging Yasuhira, Yoritomo ordered him to kill him saying, ``It's a crime to hide Yoshitsune all this time.
