On September 19, TV personality Pae Hayashiya (83) had a fire at his apartment in Kita-ku, Tokyo. One month has passed since his house burned down. The “ABEMA Entertainment” program “NO MAKE” closely followed Pae Hayashiya as he sorted through his belongings that remained after the fire. The “burn mark” of Parko Hayashiya. Pae Hayashiya appeared in his trademark pink costume. She was still recovering from the fire and was not sure if she would accept this interview. This was the last interview at his home. And he agreed to be interviewed under the promise that he would only be photographed at the fire scene for 15 minutes.
This is the microwave oven that Matsuko Deluxe gave me.
The Akabane home that burned down was supposed to be his “final home. This was the fourth time he had visited the house after the fire. The purpose of this visit was to organize the 10,000 photos he used to have. Photographs” are synonymous with the Hayashiya Pei and Parko couple. They searched for memories of stars and co-stars of yesteryear, which they had stored in large quantities at home, and moved them to a warehouse. When they enter the room, a strong smell hits their noses. Pei Hayashiya said, “In the beginning, it was flooded with water. Now, a month later, it is somewhat less wet. (Pointing to the charred board) These are all pictures. It’s been a month since the fire, and the cleanup has not progressed well, partly because the two men are both elderly. Pei Hayashiya: “This is a microwave oven that Matsuko Deluxe gave me. I got to know Matsuko on “Monday Night Live” when her beloved mother passed away. I delivered flowers to her mother when she passed away. (The fire was discovered around 1:00 p.m. on September 19. A witness reported black smoke coming out of the house, and 29 pump trucks and other vehicles were dispatched to the scene. 30 square meters of the house was destroyed, but the fire was almost extinguished in about two hours. That day, Pei Hayashiya was out of town for a Buddhist memorial service. Parko was the only one at home. Hayashiya Pei said, “There was an old cord here, and a leakage of electricity triggered the fire. The initial shock gradually faded away. I hoped it was just a dream. Parko’s fingers were burned but she was not seriously injured, but most of the family’s possessions were destroyed by fire.
