The lineup for Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi, Monday to Friday 1pm), which will air from June Getsuku to 13th, has been announced. On the 9th, actress Miyoko Asada will appear, on the 10th, actor Michiko Haneda, on the 11th, actor Haruko Wanibuchi, on the 12th, actor and figure skater Miyu Honda and her sister, talent Sara, and on the 13th, violinist Ikuko Kawai will appear.
Asada is 69 years old. Last year marked the 50th anniversary of her debut. Her mother developed leukemia at the age of 68 and passed away two years later at the age of 70. Next year she will be the same age as her mother when she died. She will reveal her feelings for her mother.
Haneda says that her brother and mother broke their bones one after the other last year. It was a tough year for her as she had to go back and forth between their homes and the hospitals while filming the drama, but her mother's cheerfulness helped her a lot. She has been doing radio exercises for about 10 years to stay healthy.
Wanibuchi is 80 years old. He moved to Yamanashi and had been away from music, but he is now enjoying living alone and playing the violin for the first time in 55 years. In April, he performed on stage with his eldest daughter for the first time. His two young grandchildren have just started playing music.
Miyu lives alone. She grew up in a large family, so she was homesick at first. Sara lives with her parents, and Sara says she is enjoying her new life, where she has her parents all to herself for the first time.
When Kawai was in high school, she became so nervous that she failed at a performance and developed extreme stage fright. However, after she encountered the music of a certain composer and learned about its freedom, her stage fright completely disappeared and she developed her current style.
