Remarks (September 6, 2020):
This part (before start of the 'live' broadcast) is indeed amusing !
Mitchy demonstrated 'natural ability' to protect his male organs. 堺雅人 helped Mitchy to prevent 片岡愛之助 'hands-on' action.
Mitchy replayed 香川照之 famous word 'death' in 半沢直樹2 (第2話).

Mitchy, I have an idea! Would you consider participating in a comedy movie/TV series?

Remarks (September 7, 2020):
Wow! This 'live' TV broadcast was very successful with high popularity.
From general public comments, most audience found the beginning very amusing (Mitchy with 堺雅人, 片岡愛之助).

I guess, in the future, a new movie (comedy version) of 半沢直樹 would be popular as well .

In the program, Mitchy mentioned his role 渡真利忍 wedding ring, an 'invisible' wife that never appear. Just come up in my mind, I can be your 渡真利忍 wife (www). As guest performer (客串演出), will be good fun ! haha!

Remarks (September 21, 2020):
Enjoyable seeing Mitchy in so many scenes in episode 9 .
After watching this episode, I already guessed how the reporters will focus on. And my guess is right...
黒崎駿一, is having his famous 'hands-on' action again. This time, with the special 'cracking' sound effect does make it even more amusing!
The way 大和田暁 try to force 半沢直樹 to kneel on the floor... the deliberate "exaggeration" is very well presented.

Remarks (September 22, 2020):
Aha! Nice to see some other newspaper with remarks about Mitchy .
I agree with the comments, Mitchy does look cute .
