Natsumi Ogawa, the wife of comedian Masatoshi Hamada from the comedy duo "Downtown" and a talent, will appear on Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi), which will be broadcast at 1:00 p.m. on December 19th.

He made his drama debut at the age of 15 and entered the Bungakuza training school to study acting. He met Watanabe Toru, who was in the same class as him. He met Watanabe Toru at the age of 18 and continued to be friends with his family, but Watanabe passed away two years ago. Tears well up in his eyes as he talks about his feelings for Watanabe.

After getting married, she gave up her stage career, but returned at the age of 50 and began her second life. This year, she and Hamada celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary, a "coral wedding." The couple have both turned 60, and it seems they are aging at the same speed. Ogawa, who is originally from Tokyo, says that the thing that surprised her when she married Hamada, who is from Kansai, was the ehomaki. The culture of eating thick sushi rolls on Setsubun was not known nationwide at the time. She also faced the "language barrier" of the Kansai dialect.
