Summary: He's different in real life.

Tanaka looks different on TV.

Tanaka on TV has the wink of someone who's encouraging you to spend money you shouldn't, but in that, he's no different from any other advertiser or salesman. On TV, you get something for your money.

In person, the sense of salesmanship feels more like a corrupting ooze, and the famous smile has darkness at its edges.

This Tanaka, who takes your money, threatens you, insults you, and then scrambles to curry your favor—he's nothing like the man on TV, but he's everything like that man.

When you sell friendship, are you any different?
