TBS’s irregular special program, “The Real No.1 Professional Ranking by Professionals in the Field,” was broadcast on November 17. This time, the program was titled “The strongest theme song ranking of TBS dramas chosen by 236 music professionals★” and featured a total of 50 TBS dramas and their theme songs. Many masterpieces were featured, but viewers were disturbed by the fact that no images of the drama starring Hideaki Takizawa (43), who was selected there, were shown–. Takizawa retired from the entertainment industry at the end of 2018. Since his retirement, he no longer appears in the media. After his retirement, Takizawa served as vice president of the former Johnny’s Office (now “SMILE-UP.”) and president of its affiliate company, Johnny’s Island (now “Annex”), but at the end of October 2010, he stepped down from both positions and left the company in a blitz. In March 2011, he announced the launch of an entertainment company, TOBE, and has served as its president to date. He still does not show his face, but his “voice” has been released through TikTok live performances and other means. Before his retirement, Takizawa appeared in many TV shows and serial dramas. In the TBS special program, the song “First Love” by Hikaru Utada (42), the theme song for “Witch’s Condition” (April 1999 season, TBS), a double starring Takizawa and Nanako Matsushima (52), was ranked fifth, but no footage from the drama was shown. (Women’s magazine editor) The drama “Witch’s Condition” is a story about forbidden love between a female teacher and a male student. The last episode was a big hit, recording a household rating of 29.5% (Kanto region/Video Research). However, the fact that no footage of the drama was shown in this year’s ranking led to the comment, “Nanako Matsushima and Tackey’s High School Teacher! Can’t they show Tackey? “Can’t they show Tackey? The “Witch’s Condition” video was not shown? Tackey! I was wondering if something happened to the actors in the drama because they didn’t show the footage of “The Witch’s Condition”. I was wondering if it was Tackey. I was shocked to hear that they didn’t show the drama clip for “Witch’s Condition”…Too bad. Many people were shocked and said that Mr. Takizawa was the reason why they could not show the drama. The “Witch’s Condition” was not the only film omitted from this year’s ranking, but those were all lower-ranked films. Since Mr. Utada’s “First Love” was ranked fifth, it would have been more natural for it to be introduced as a set with famous scenes from the drama. However, “Witch’s Condition,” a 26-year-old drama, was produced by Mr. Takizawa when he was a talent at the former Johnny’s Office, so it is possible that there were some rights complications after he left the office. Other “quit Janis” also appeared in the ranking this time, but Takizawa seems to be more complicated than them.
