I couldn't stop laughing! His MC was superb....better than some of the comedians!!!(^^). His Kyouto accent is also charming! Thank God he recovered from the ulcer (ikaiyou!) I suppose it was not bad for him to rest for a month, considering having insanely busy schedule for so many years!!(^^) I wish him all the best, happiness & good health for many more years to come! I wonder if he is still married to the wonderful actress....YUUKO TANAKA?
