``Premoluko-chan'' is a series based on the theme of ``What if Chibi Maruko-chan became a premium adult?'' starring Suzu Hirose as the premium Namaru-chan, Sari Ito as the premium Tama-chan, and Joe Odagiri as the premium Hanawa-kun. In the ``Hide Grandpa Appears'' edition, Maru-chan and Tama-chan visited Hanawa-kun's villa.
Tsuda's narration overlaps with the back view of the three people looking at the scenery from the terrace facing the sea. Then, from across the sea, the Hanawa family's butler, Premium Old Man Hide, appears on a personal watercraft. Old Man Hide greets them with a smile, saying, ``Good morning,'' and the four of them enjoy ``The Premium Malt's (Japanese Ale) Fragrant Ale'' from the attaché case he brought with him. ``Everyone has grown up...'' Old man Hide said, narrowing his eyes nostalgically. The video ended with Tsuda's narration, ``Maruko and the others thought you were actually getting younger.''

Tsuda commented, ``I never thought the day would come when I would play Old Man Hide.'' Regarding his impressions of dressing up as Old Man Hide, he said, ``It felt a little strange at first because I hadn't seen much of myself before, but as I was filming, I got used to it.''
