[What inspired 'Tsuda Diary'?]
At the end of 2024, Tsuda was told by a fortune teller that 'buying a yellow-covered notebook will improve your luck.' He bought a yellow leather notebook from Hermes and decided to write a diary for the year 2025. Fights with his wife, drinking with Daigo from Chidori, going to the sauna with Sekimachi from Rice, shopping with his son and daughter, struggling with radio shows, and the exhaustion of filming 'Detective' segments... his daily life is written with frank honesty.
In an era obsessed with time performance, 'Tsuda Diary,' which was written by hand every day, has become a book that even feels literary, transcending the boundaries of a typical 'comedian's book'!
