Whether it's making our hearts flutter during nostalgic moments of “Orange Days,” inspiring warmth through family bonds on “Hotman,” or transporting viewers emotionally across oceans with your unforgettable role on “Ruri no Shima”—you've consistently brought joy, laughter, tears (and sometimes all three at once!) into our lives. Here's wishing you another fantastic journey around the sun filled with happiness—and plenty more memorable roles ahead!
