75-year-old singer Akira Nishikino will appear on Kuroyanagi Tetsuko's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi), broadcasting at 1 pm on October 31.
Nishikino is a singer who maintains his youth through daily training. He has had excellent athletic ability since he was young, and says that even now, doing a handstand is a piece of cake. The secret to his vitality is interacting with people, and he and Kuroyanagi have a lively conversation about funny anecdotes with an older woman who attended the same swimming school as him, and the strict dietary management of his pushy wife, who is perfect at everything.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Nishikino took on a new challenge: the flute. He had been playing the trumpet since he was a student, so he knew how difficult it was, but his wife encouraged him and pushed him to try, which motivated him. This time, while saying, "I'm still practicing...", he performed a flute performance in front of Kuroyanagi on the first try. He will also perform his trumpet playing, which he has been good at and has been showing on stage since his debut.
