Miyoko Asada talks about her memories of Toshiyuki Nishida and Kirin Kiki on the June Getsuku episode of "Tetsuko's Room"

Talent and actor Miyoko Asada appeared on Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi) broadcast on Getsuku. She talked about her memories of actors Toshiyuki Nishida and Kirin Kiki.

Asada played the role of Michiko, the second wife, from the seventh film in the "Tsuribaka Nisshi" film series, for 15 years until the final film. "Joining the series midway through the series meant I had to think of the previous actress, and I wondered if I was the right person for the role, and especially since there was a scene where they "combine," I wasn't sexy enough, so I wondered if it would be okay," she said. However, Nishida and Mikuni (Rentaro) welcomed her warmly, and she said, "I was able to fit right in. I'm sad that they're no longer with us."

He said he was really surprised when he heard the news of Nishida's death in October last year. He heard that she had died in her sleep, and when he paid his respects, "She had a really happy look on her face, like she was really sleeping," so it would not have been strange if she had suddenly woken up and started acting out, "Oh, what? What happened to Michiko?" He said of the deceased, "She was a fun person."

Asada has known Kiki Kirin since her debut. Even now, when she is worried, she thinks, "What would my grandmother say?" Kiki was wearing a kimono and sneakers in Hawaii. "Kimono are fine. They become small when folded," she said. Asada is not good at tidying up, so Kiki told her, "You have to do something, otherwise it will be a nuisance for everyone when you die."

Kimiki said that she and her ex-husband, Uchida Yuya, "get along well," and revealed that the two would always go on a boat together to watch the sunset in Hawaii. "It's dangerous, so we hold hands on the boat," she said. "Looking at them from the hotel, they looked so close, and I thought it was great." "There were times when they didn't get along, though. I thought time is amazing."

Last January, after returning from walking his dog, he fell face-first in his garage because his hands were full, resulting in bruises on the left side of his face. He said he didn't suffer any bleeding or broken bones, and revealed that at his 50th anniversary event 20 days later, the bruises on his face were covered up with makeup.
