Mari Henmi, a 73-year-old singer and talent, will appear on Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi), broadcast on September 25th at 1:00 pm. In 1972, at the age of 22, Henmi married singer Teruhiko Saigo. She quit her job to become a housewife and had one son and one daughter. She divorced in 1981. Her ex-husband Saigo passed away at the age of 75 in 2022, and she confessed her feelings of regret, saying, "I had a bright future as an actor."
She expressed her gratitude to Saigo's second wife, saying that she was able to continue interacting with him, such as going out to eat, even after her divorce, thanks to her understanding.
Her short gray hair has become one of her new charms. She once lost confidence in her physical strength after suffering from heart failure four years ago, but now she is completely hooked on ballroom dancing, which she started as a hobby and part of her rehabilitation, and is living a lively life. She has been learning ballet since she was four years old, so she has good muscles, and this time she will be showing off her light steps in the studio.
