On June 8th, talent Minami Minegishi appeared on Abema's information variety show "Secret Mama's Garden" (Sunday 9pm).
The show's MC, Minegishi, who gave birth to her first daughter in 2024, hosted a "new moms' get-together" with fellow former AKB48 members Kitahara Rie and Nishino Miki. Minegishi and Kitahara visited Nishino's home and talked about their impressions of each other from their idol days and their current child-rearing.
The topic of "Do you and your spouse have separate wallets?" was also raised. Kitahara said that she and her husband, actor Kasahara Hideyuki, "don't know" each other's income, explaining the couple's rule: "We opened new accounts when we got married. When we run out of money, we put money into each other's accounts. When we check our balance and it's going down, we'll put 300,000 yen each in."
Minegishi, who married Tetsuya, the leader of the popular YouTuber group "Tokai On Air" in 2022, said, "You can make money on YouTube when you can. We've never talked about money, but I learned about it from a video of them talking about how much they earn per month. I'm also on a commission basis, so my income fluctuates a lot from month to month. I'll tell you when it's good, but I've never really talked about it, so I just have a vague idea of what it's going to be like." She then said, "I've felt this even more since I had a child, like, has there ever been anything more unstable than this?"
On this day's program, they also talked about the sexless marriage issue. They also closely followed the relationship between actor Masaya Nakamura and gal model Fuka, who became a couple through a love reality show.
