Major League Baseball (MLB) Tokyo Overseas Opening Series ended successfully at Tokyo Dome on the 19th, and Shohei Ohtani, the second-class superstar of the Los Angeles Dodgers, knocked out the first hit of the season in the game, which surprised the fans. After the game, a TV station conducted a street interview outdoors, and after the interview of an old woman was exposed, it set off an uproar from all walks of life on the Internet, and netizens were shocked that the TV station did not know Taishan, and called the old woman's fame not inferior to Otani Shohei.
Shohei Otani
According to comprehensive Japanese media reports, MLB's overseas opening department attracted a large number of fans to make a pilgrimage to Tokyo Dome, including veteran voice actor Tomoyuki Morikawa, billiards star Tomokazu Zhangmoto and other well-known figures in various fields, who also posted pictures and texts of their appearances on social platforms. After the Los Angeles Dodgers and Chicago Cubs game on the 19th, Japan's TBS news program "news23" broadcast a video of a street interview, in which an elderly woman wearing glasses was interviewed, which sparked heated discussions.
According to the video, the old woman was interviewed by the TV station with a smile on her face, and enthusiastically shared the highlights of the game in front of the camera, and she also humorously said, "Seeing Shohei Ohtani hit a home run, this trip is really the right one." I'm old, and this game is a memory to bring into the coffin. In addition, although the old woman's name, age and other information were not shown in the video, after the show was broadcast, her interview was immediately viral on social platforms.
The old woman is Natsuko Toda, a well-known Japanese translator
Many Japanese netizens jumped out and pointed out that the interviewed old woman was a well-known Japanese translator Natsuko Toda, but the TV station did not mark her information, but only broadcast it like interviewing ordinary people, and it was suspected that she did not recognize her identity, which made netizens very surprised by this, because her fame was not inferior to Shohei Ohtani, "Huh? Didn't anyone find out? "Just by listening to the voice, you can tell that it's Natsuko Toda", "The interview team is no longer recognizable to Toda".
The report pointed out that Natsuko Toda, who is now 88 years old and retired from the front line, is the most representative senior translator in Japan, and she has served as the Japanese subtitle translator for many Hollywood movies, and has a high reputation among fans, and is praised as the "queen of subtitles". Not only that, Natsuko Toda was the royal translator for Tom Cruise when he visited Japan to promote movies since 1992 before retiring in 2022.
