Tomoyasu is worried about Mr. Hanazawa’s future.

—This time, I would like to once again ask two people who love Sazae-san to talk about the female characters that appear in Sazae-san. Mr. Tomoyasu, you have always been advocating the “funeee woman theory”.

TomoyasuShe’s seriously a woman. Hanazawa-san is the daughter of a land dealer.

-You’re a real estate agent, right?

TomoyasuHanazawa-san is manipulative, but she’s not the type to be supported by men.

KobayashiIt seems like marriage will be the soonest.

Tomoyasudifferent. That’s different. Everyone says that, but it’s actually different.

—That’s what everyone says (laughs).

TomoyasuThat’s the slowest type. It’s the type that is used for good purposes. I roll with it, but it really depends. If anything, she might become a convenient woman.

—Oh, I take too much care of men.

TomoyasuBecause there is room for pampering. So, I’m the type of person who doesn’t know if it’s a yes or no.

KobayashiI wonder if I’ll get hooked on hosting.

TomoyasuNo, I don’t think it’s a host or anything. She’s probably the last woman to come into the comedy world.

—What do you mean?

TomoyasuAfter all, comedians are trash after all. If a woman with that kind of patience came to visit me, she would be endlessly pampering and would probably even let me stay at her house. It’s like a house where you can have a quick night’s sleep and fall asleep. That’s not good. And my family is also big. I don’t think there is any sense of financial crisis.

-I see. Certainly, the way he treats Isono-kun…

TomoyasuDo you call Katsuo Isono-kun?

KobayashiIt’s a woman.

—Based on Hanazawa-san’s standard for calling people (lol). I think she also treats Isono-kun in a motherly manner.

TomoyasuMr. Hanazawa’s sauce is good, but it’s not very exciting. I think he’s the type of person who is easily taken advantage of. On that point, Fune-san does get mad sometimes. Well, Fune-san’s clothes still freak me out.

KobayashiWhen it’s not a kimono.

TomoyasuIt’s scary to wear clothes that don’t fit. Also, when it comes to Fune, a woman says, “Let’s have a drink once in a while.” “Oh, okay then,” I said and followed him to a soba restaurant. This guy doesn’t understand. Also, Fune-san, you’re definitely jealous of Namihira.

— Is Namihira cheating on you?
