Great reuse of a "forgotten" character. There was nothing original but the comedy was well done, you can't dislike the poor Hasegawa who is doing his best to fit in today's unemployment rate (cruel name from the little E.T.girl). When I saw him on this bench, I couldn't help thinking about those mature salary-men, going everyday "to the work" by sitting on a bench somewhere, too shamed to tell the truth to the family they supported. At least, the character here didn' hide it. I might like him after a while
