Diane's Tsuda to Release Long-Awaited First Book, 'Tsuda Diary,' on May 27th! [Includes Personal Comment]

Atsuhiro Tsuda, of the popular comedy duo Diane, will release his long-awaited first book, 'Tsuda Diary,' on Wednesday, May 27th—his 50th birthday—published by Shinchosha. 'Tsuda Diary' is a collection of entries written by Tsuda every single day throughout the 'Goi-goi-su' year of 2025. From ulterior motives and insults to joys and sorrows, Tsuda bares his emotions and humanity in this diary, making it a 'miracle' of a book for the Reiwa era. Tsuda is active across a wide range of fields, including television, radio, theater, YouTube, and drama. His catchphrase 'Nagasode o kudasai' (Please give me long sleeves), spoken during the popular 'Detective Tsuda' segment on the show 'Wednesday's Downtown,' was even nominated for the 2025 'Buzzword Awards,' cementing his status as a social phenomenon. [Background of 'Tsuda Diary'] At the end of 2024, after being told by a fortune teller that 'buying a yellow-covered notebook will improve your luck,' Tsuda purchased a yellow leather notebook from Hermès and decided to write a diary for the entirety of 2025. The book candidly and honestly chronicles his daily life: fights with his wife, drinking with Daigo from Chidori, going to the sauna with Tomohiro Sekimachi from Rice, shopping with his children, struggling on the radio, and the exhaustion of filming 'Detective Tsuda.' In an era obsessed with 'time performance' (efficiency), Tsuda’s decision to write by hand every single day has resulted in a book that transcends the typical 'comedian book' and possesses a surprising literary quality. [Comment from the Author on the Publication of 'Tsuda Diary'] This is a work of pure passion written by me, Tsuda. A film adaptation is inevitable! Please read it! I will give a 'super-sized' Su to everyone who buys it!!
