Subject: [monkey] Masaaki Sakai

Hello everyone,

One of my Japanese friends translated a couple of web pages about Masaaki Sakai,
here's what they had to say.  Sorry the English is not brilliant, but it gives
you the gist of what the pages say.

Best Wishes

>What is TV program, 'CHUBOU DESU-YO! (In the kitchen!)'
>
>This new kitchen entertainment program, being broadcasted Saturdays
>at 11:30pm on TBS, is hosted by Sakai Masaaki with Tohko Amemiya,
>as an assistant and many celebrities as guests.  What is absolutely
>different from other kichen entertainment pograms is that the dishes
>are good sometimes and it's NOT in other times!  The talk among the
>participants is hilarious.

>Masaaki Sakai has 2 kids.  He says 'I've used the word "Love" in my
>sayings for a couple of times, but I finally noticed the word should be
>used for own children.'  He really loves his children.
>
>When he was laying beside his daughter, she said she would get
>married with him.  He says he was too happy to have words to say.
>
>His father was also an entertainer, Shunji Sakai.  When Masaaki was
>6 years old, he lived in Kamakura (suburb of Tokyo).  They had a
>starange lodger, Yonosuke Yamazaki.   Before becoming an entertainer,
>Shunji Sakai was working at a public bath.  Yonosuke was a mather of
>the public bath.  He lost his ownership of the public bath for his debt,
>and he stayed at Shunji's house.
>
>Machhaki says 'I thought Yonosuke was my real grandfather, but he
>wasn't actually.'
>
>Even after Shunji's death, Yonosuke's room was set without any doubt, when
>they moved.  Yonosuke secretly took Machaaki's sun-glasses
>out for his 'the retired' meeting and took a picture.  In another time,
>he picked up a phone by using copied Machaaki's voice for mischief.
>Machaaki says 'I might be seeking for 'Fatherhood' in Yonosuke.  He
>died at about 90 years old like sleeping.'  Machaaki continues 'I think
>I could help him to make his life great.'
>
>(3rd)
>
>Producers' comment:
>
>It is said that children in higher age are killing the parents.  He really
>loves his daughters.  In Japanese expression, there exists 'they're so
>cute that I don't mind if I put into my eyes.'  That's about him.  His two
>daughters are Kikuno and Koharu.  We can't imagine how much
>Machaaki is playing 'Father' in his home.
