The lineup for Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi, Monday to Friday 1pm), which will air from February 17th to 21st, has been announced. On the 17th, actor Yuki Saito will appear, on the 18th, actor Junki Tozuka will appear, on the 19th, popular Korean actor Jung Hae-in, cross-dresser Mitz Mangrove will appear on the 20th, and former Takarazuka Yuki-gumi top star Nozomi Futo will appear on the 21st.
Saito's youngest daughter attended her Coming of Age Ceremony this year, and while she felt relieved that her three children had all reached adulthood, she also felt a little sad.
Totsuka is from Iwate Prefecture. She auditioned and entered the entertainment industry at her mother's suggestion, but she wasn't very enthusiastic about it. But it was the Great East Japan Earthquake that changed her mind.
Jung made his acting debut in 2014, and when he appeared in a drama in 2018, he became a hot topic under the nickname "the nation's younger boyfriend." He talks about his feelings for his Japanese fans and how he spends his time in Japan.
Mitz Mangrove will turn 50 in April. She says she feels her body changing as she gets older, and that during the COVID-19 pandemic she decided to share her contact details and family home information with her friends.
Nozomi played male roles at Takarazuka for 18 years. After leaving the company, there was a time when she struggled to play female roles. At that time, she says, a certain phrase gave her the "strength to be herself."
