The lineup for Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi, Monday to Friday 1pm), which will air from April 14th to 18th, has been announced. On the 14th, actor Baku Owada and his daughter Miho Owada will appear, on the 15th, talent Nicole Fujita, on the 16th, actor Yu Shirota, on the 17th, a selection of the best girls' talk shows, and on the 18th, singer Leon Niihama will appear.
It has been about five years since his wife, actress Kumiko Okae, passed away, and for the past four years, Baku has been living with Miho and his grandchild as a two-generation household. It was Miho who suggested living together, and he revealed, "Maybe I looked lonely. But I was happy."
It's been about 10 years since Fujita-san's appearance. The last time was when she was a 17-year-old high school girl. She got married two years ago and had her wedding ceremony last year. Usually, whoever notices the housework is supposed to do it, but her husband notices everything first, so she says that she leaves most of the housework to him.
Shirota-san is now 39 years old. This year, his last year in his 30s, the theme is "Thank You." His special skill is putting babies to sleep. He will be singing Showa era classics in the studio.
The selection of best girls' talk episodes will feature Kishi Keiko and Kusabue Mitsuko, Nakao Mie and Wada Akiko, and Hokuto Akira and Tsuji Nozomi.
Niihama made his first appearance at the Red and White Song Battle at the end of last year. He went on to a strong baseball school where his high school teammates became professional baseball players, but he realized he would not be able to become a professional. He decided to become a singer, but his mother was strongly against it.
