On the 9th, enka singer Kawanaka Miyuki will appear, on the 10th, a selection of guests with their families who are all active in various fields will appear, on the 11th, Horiuchi Takao and Yazawa Toru from the folk group "Alice", on the 12th, actor and singer Yuhara Masayuki, Sugawara Susumu from the brother folk unit "Billy Banban", and TV personality Senda Mitsuo will appear, and on the 13th, actor Kurihara Komaki will appear.

Kawanaka is 68 years old and debuted 47 years ago. She revealed that she fell at home last year and broke her hip. She said that she learned a lot from that fracture. She is absorbed in many hobbies, but her candle making, which she has been doing for many years, seems to be evolving rapidly.

In the selection of guests, Takahashi Maasa, now a mother of two, will reveal the true face of her father, actor Takahashi Hideki, who is crazy about his grandchildren. Violinist Takashima Chisako will appear with her father Hiroyuki, whose brother is actor Takashima Tadao.

Designer sisters Koshino Hiroko, Koshino Junko, and Koshino Michiko talk about their memories of their mother Koshino Ayako, who was also the model for the morning drama Carnation.

Horiuchi and Yazawa of "Alice," which debuted more than half a century ago, look back on their memories of Tanimura Shinji, who passed away last year, along with nostalgic concert footage. Now that Tanimura is gone, they talk about the future of "Alice."

Yuhara, Sugawara, and Senda, the three "Showa boys" who are getting busier with the "Showa boom," are all 77 years old this year. They have been friends for a long time. Kuroyanagi can't stop laughing at the perfect exchange between the three.

Kurihara says that since she was a child, she has been making clothes with her mother using a sewing machine. For the past 15 years, he has been designing costumes for the plays he stars in, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, he handcrafted the furniture he uses at home from wood. He shares his memories of his mother for the first time.
