The lineup for Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi, Monday to Friday 1pm), which will air from January 20th to 24th, has been announced. On the 20th, they will feature actor Ohtori Ran and her daughter, actor Shoda Yuki, on the 21st they will feature actor Ogura Hisahiro, on the 22nd they will feature Noguchi Goro, on the 23rd they will feature a memorial special, and on the 24th they will feature singer Yamakawa Yutaka.
Ran Ohtori's 41-year-old second daughter, Yuki Shoda, followed in her mother's footsteps and became an actress, and last year she played the lead role in a stage play. When Yuki was a teenager, the mother and daughter had a big fight. What was the unexpected thing Yuki said?
Ogura turned 70 last year. In his private life, he has been married to his wife, a former Takarazuka actress, for 31 years this year. As both of them love animals, they recently welcomed a new pet dog into their home.
This year marks the 55th year since Noguchi's debut. She moved to Tokyo from Gifu at the age of 13 to become a singer. Her mother, Iyoko, who came to Tokyo with her to support her dream, is now 96 years old.
The memorial special will look back on the lives of Hattori Yukio, Osasaka Shinobu, Ogura Tomoaki, Sono Mari, and Nishida Toshiyuki, who passed away last year, through footage from their younger days.
Yamakawa, who divorced in her later years three years ago, was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer after a detailed examination at the end of 2023 and chose to undergo chemotherapy, but she says the side effects, such as rashes, are more severe than she expected.
