História

Conhecido no Japão por ter integrado a primeira formação do clássico grupo de comediantes conhecido como The Drifters (ザ・ドリフターズ) durante a década de 70, Arai Chu (荒井注) nasceu como Arai Yasuo (荒井安雄), na Área Metropolitana de Tóquio, a 30 de julho de 1928. Formado em Letras pela Faculdade da Rikkyo Daigaku (立教大学, Universidade Privada Rikkyo, localizada em Tóquio) fez pós graduação na Nishogakusha Daigaku (二松學舍大学), um grande complexo de faculdades, localizado no Distrito de Chiyoda, em Tóquio, onde trabalhou como auxiliar no Departamento de Literatura. Nos anos seguintes, Arai teria trabalhado como auxliar de um grupo musical enquanto tentava uma carreira como escritor. Em 1964, o músico e comediante Ikariya Chosuke (いかりや長介, 1931-2004), tornou-se o líder do grupo The Drifters e começou a selecionar novos membros para a banda. A escolha de Arai Yasuo ocorreu devido a sua capacidade para tocar piano e sua audácia, que o fazia ser promissor para um grupo que estava começando. Desse modo, naquele ano, Arai Yasuo assinou um contrato com a empresa de entretenimento Watanabe Productions (渡辺プロダクション), onde Hana Hajime (ハナ肇, 1930-93), o professor de Ikariya Chosuke, o batiza com o nome de Arai Chu.

Let's Go to the Hospital
When a hard-driving copywriter (Hiroyuki Sanada) discovers his comely wife (Keiko Saito) is involved in a scintillating game of strip rock-paper-scissors with some guy clad only in a pair of boxer shorts and Mickey Mouse ears, he is less than happy. When the stranger tries to make a run for it, a fight ensues between the two men, and they accidentally tumble down several flights of a concrete stairwell. One hurried ambulance ride later, the copywriter finds himself in a private teaching hospital equipped with the latest gleaming gizmos. Meanwhile, a young internist (Hiroko Yakushimaru) girds herself for her first emergency room case -- the battered copywriter. After giving a curt bow and a nervous "Good Evening," she accidentally jams a syringe into his bloody wound. Soon the absurdity of their situation, along with their medical misery, binds the two men and their blundering nurse together.
