The lineup for Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi, Monday to Friday 1pm), which will air from January 27th to 31st, has been announced. On the 27th, Tetsuko's Room Concert (1), singer Natsukawa Rimi will be broadcast on the 28th, actor Kashiyama Fumie will be broadcast on the 29th, Tetsuko's Room Concert (2) will be broadcast on the 30th, and actor Sakuma Yoshiko will be broadcast on the 31st.
The 18th "Tetsuko's Room" concert held last November will be broadcast in two parts. The first part will introduce the powerful performance of Minami Kosetsu, sisters Iwasaki Hiromi and Iwasaki Yoshimi, and Matsudaira Ken.
Natsukawa's son is 14 years old. He loves music and plays the guitar whenever he has time, from when he wakes up until when he goes to bed. He reveals his son's reaction when he told him that he wanted to hold a concert together in the future.
It has been four years since Kashiyama lost her husband, actor Katsuhiko Watabiki. Watabiki used to do the shopping and cleaning, but now she says, "I'm doing everything by myself." Her niece's family moved in next door to her house. Her niece's daughter (5 years old) is said to be a source of comfort for her.
The second concert of the 18th "Tetsuko's Room" featured Kenichi Mikawa, Korokke, and Ayaka Hirahara, and the finale saw everyone dancing to the Matsuken Samba to great excitement.
Sakuma's son, Takehiro Hira, was nominated for an Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actor last year, and attended the awards ceremony in Los Angeles with him. He attended the ceremony at the request of Takehiro, who wanted his mother to watch, sitting in the seat where his spouse would normally sit.
