The lineup for Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi, Monday to Friday 1pm), which will air from January 6th to 10th, has been announced. On the 6th, actor Kobayashi Akira will appear, on the 7th actor Takahashi Keiko, on the 8th Kabuki actors Nakamura Hashinosuke, Nakamura Takanosuke, and Ichikawa Somegoro will appear, on the 9th gymnast Oka Shinnosuke, who won four medals at the Paris Olympics, and on the 10th stars who appeared when they were around 20 years old.
Kobayashi was 86 years old. Aoyama Kyoko, a former actress whom he married in 1967, continued to support her husband after her retirement, but passed away five years ago at the age of 84. The words his wife, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor, said after her surgery are revealed.
Takahashi-san will soon be 70 years old. She plans to change jobs when she turns 83. Last October, her daughter gave birth to her sixth child, making her a grandmother to six grandchildren, aged between 0 and 21, with one boy and five girls. Her husband of 43 years, film director Tomoaki Takahashi, has recently been doting on three puppies.
Hashinosuke, Takanosuke, and Somegoro appeared in crested hakama. They all have one thing in common: they appeared on "Tetsuko's Room" when they were young. Hashinosuke, the oldest, introduced Takanosuke and Somegoro with fun catchphrases, and we got a glimpse of each other's unexpected sides.
Ahead of Coming of Age Day on the 13th, the program will broadcast footage of stars who appeared when they were around 20 years old. The five stars are actor Kayoko Kishimoto, actor Ikue Sakakibara, actor Yuko Asano, actor Mami Kumagai, and singer Yuu Hayami.
