Midori Oka practices in a karaoke box until the morning

Singer Midori Oka appeared on Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi) broadcast on December 2nd. She is 40 years old. She talked about the behind-the-scenes of her achievement of "Oni Renchan" on "Chidori no Oni Renchan" (Fuji TV). "Even children are watching. Five-year-olds have become my fans." When she was walking down the street, elementary school boys and others cheered her on, saying "Good luck, Midori Oka." In between her busy schedules of concerts and child-rearing, she practiced hard. After her husband put her daughter to bed and she finally fell asleep, "That's when my time alone begins, so I went to a karaoke box and practiced until the morning." Since she went there every day, the staff would say, "Are you practicing again? Thank you for always working hard," and guide her to a slightly larger room.
