Ryo Nishikido wants a wife who greets him when he comes home

In “ちょんまげぷりん
(Chonmage Pudding)”, samurai
Yasubee Kijima (played by Ryo
Nishikido) believes it is a man ’s
duty to do the outside work
and women to do housework.
The actor playing Yasubee has
a similar view, Movie Walker
reported today.
In the movie adaptation of Gen
Araki ’s novel of the same title,
the samurai warrior time
travels 180 years into the
future to modern day Tokyo,
and starts living with single
mother Hiroko and her son
Tomoya. The movie includes
scenes where Yasubee growls
at Tomoya for crying so much
because “a real man doesn’t
cry”, and his shock at knowing
that women are allowed to
have outside jobs.
When asked what his ideal
real-life family would be like,
Nishikido said he wanted to fill
the gap he had experienced as
a kid.
“ It would be a family where
the man works and the
woman does the housework.
“ Both of my parents worked
full-time, so I felt lonely when I
came home and mum wasn ’t
there to say ‘welcome home’.
“That’s why I want to create an
environment where my
(future) wife could say
‘ welcome home’ to me.
“Of course, this isn’t how I
think all women and men
should be, and after some
time I might want things to be
the opposite way (laughs), ” he
said.
In the movie, his samurai
character finds his calling as a
sweetmaker. When the popstar
was asked what his calling
profession was, Nishikido didn ’t
hesitate.
“ Right now it’s acting!
“But if this were a music
interview I would probably say
‘ singing’ (laughs).
“Acting is a really fun job. I
can’t say for sure what it is
that I find so appealing, but it
is really fun. I know that, ” he
said.
“ちょんまげぷりん
(Chonmage Pudding)” will start
in Japanese theaters from July
31.
