Actor Kei Tanaka attended a press conference following the Tokyo Drama Awards 2018 ceremony, which honors outstanding television dramas, on the 25th. Tanaka, who won the Best Actor award for his role in the drama "Ossan's Love" (TV Asahi), expressed his joy, saying, "I never dreamed I'd win the award for the lead role before winning the Best Actor award for a supporting role. I believe this award was given to me by the cast and staff, so I accept it with pride." Regarding the drama, Tanaka smiled and said, "The joy of originality and the pure desire everyone has to create has been delivered to us in the form of Ossan's Love. I think we won the Grand Prix with perhaps the lowest viewer ratings in history, so I hope that in the future we'll see more shows that don't fear the numbers and stick to what they want to do." He also revealed, "In my 18 years as an actor, I've rarely had the opportunity to play a leading role," and said that "Ossan's Love" "was the start of a new chapter in my acting career!" "Ossan's Love" is a love story about the protagonist, 33-year-old Haruta Soichi (Tanaka), a womanizer but unpopular with women, who is pursued by his boss, Kurosawa Musashi (Yoshida Kotaro), who hides an all-too-pure maiden heart, and his handsome junior colleague, Maki Ryota (Hayashi Kento). It first aired as a late-night one-off drama in December 2016, and was adapted into a serial drama series starting in April of this year. When the sixth and seventh episodes aired, "#Ossan's Love" became the number one trending topic worldwide on Twitter, creating a buzz. This year, Tanaka was selected for the Best Actor award, while Yoshida won the Best Supporting Actor award and was also named the Grand Prix winner in the Best Drama Series category, making it a triple crown. The Tokyo Drama Awards, which recognize outstanding television dramas based on the concept of "Japanese dramas that we want to show to the world," are being held for the 11th time this year. The awards are open to dramas that aired between July 2017 and June 2018. Ishihara Satomi from "Unnatural" (TBS) won the Best Actress award, and Agawa Sawako from "Rikuo" (TBS) won the Best Supporting Actress award. In the stand-alone drama category, the Grand Prix went to "Kurara: Hokusai's Daughter" (NHK), starring Miyazaki Aoi, which depicts the life of Katsushika Hokusai's daughter, Oei.
