Menkyo Henno!? interview set June 4

The official X account for the Japanese film “Menkyo Henno!?” said on June 2 that an interview with star Hiroshi Tachi will air on Nippon TV’s morning program “ZIP!” on June 4. The post included still images promoting the appearance and tied the segment to the film’s theatrical rollout later this month. (x.com) Nippon TV’s “ZIP!” website says the program airs weekdays from 5:50 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. The broadcaster’s entertainment coverage separately lists “Menkyo Henno!?” for release in Japan on June 19, 2026. (news.ntv.co.jp) ### What exactly was announced for June 4? A June 2 post from the film’s official X account said Tachi will appear in an interview on “ZIP!” on Wednesday, June 4. (ntv.co.jp) The account used the appearance to promote the film ahead of its opening and posted photos alongside the notice. Nippon TV’s official site identifies “ZIP!” as a weekday morning news and entertainment program. The site says the show runs Monday through Friday from 5:50 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., which gives viewers the broadcast window for the planned interview. ### What is “Menkyo Henno!?” about? (x.com) Nippon TV’s entertainment report describes “Menkyo Henno!?” as a comedy starring Tachi. The report says Tachi plays Hiroshi Nanjo, a movie star who wants to keep doing action scenes involving cars and motorcycles but is drawn into turmoil over giving up his driver’s license after a public comment. The same report says the film marks a comedy challenge for Tachi, who has long been associated with hard-boiled screen roles including the “Abunai Deka” series. That description came from Nippon TV’s coverage of the project rather than from the June 2 social-media post. (ntv.co.jp) ### Why is Hiroshi Tachi the focus of the promotion? Hiroshi Tachi is the film’s star and the face named in both the social-media post and Nippon TV’s entertainment coverage. Nippon TV’s report, published earlier in the promotional cycle, identified him as 75 and said he was taking on a comedy lead in the film. (news.ntv.co.jp) The June 2 post from the official account centers the television appearance on Tachi rather than on a full cast lineup. That suggests the June 4 segment is being marketed primarily as a star interview tied to the release campaign, though the post visible through the X link does not provide a detailed rundown of topics. (news.ntv.co.jp) ### What do viewers know about the release schedule? June 19, 2026 is the date attached to the film in Nippon TV’s coverage. The official X post also linked the June 4 “ZIP!” appearance to the movie’s June 19 opening in Japan. (news.ntv.co.jp) Nippon TV’s “ZIP!” page says the program is part of the network’s weekday morning lineup, and the official film account positioned the interview as one of the media stops before opening day. No ticketing details or nationwide event schedule were visible in the materials reviewed here. ### Where can audiences look next? (x.com) June 4 is the next dated promotional stop named publicly so far, with Tachi scheduled to appear on Nippon TV’s “ZIP!” during its 5:50 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. broadcast window. June 19 is the next milestone after that, when “Menkyo Henno!?” is scheduled to open in Japan. (ntv.co.jp)
