Netflix released the first teaser trailer for the series "Did I Say Something About Me?" starring Koji Yakusho, written by Kankuro Kudo and planned and produced by Aki Isoyama. The release date is set for October 22. The human comedy follows a major actor who returns to Japan after the pandemic to find himself forgotten by everyone.
The teaser opens on Takasegawa's triumph: a standing ovation for his King Lear at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London. The moment collapses in his dressing room, where he asks "Did I say something about me?" to gauge those around him, exposing a need for approval.
What follows is a rapid-fire parade of disguises. Yakusho appears as a homeless person, a cow-costumed worker at a concept cafe, an extra playing a passerby, a firefighter, a sword-falling victim in a period drama, a fierce figure in a fur coat, and a sauna part-timer in a pink polo shirt performing aufguss with a towel wrapped around his head.
Teaser art shows the confident Takasegawa pointing at himself, while a haggard version of him sits slumped on a bench in front. The series begins its climb back from zero on October 22.
