Model and actor Asuka Saito appeared on her signature program "Hamasuka Broadcasting Club" (TV Asahi and others, Monday midnight 12:15) on June 30th, where she revealed that she had obtained a driver's license.
The day was titled "Ghost Story Night - Scary Stories from the Music Industry!", and the guests shared surprising anecdotes and ghost stories about famous people they had seen or heard in the music industry. When the topic of driving came up towards the end of the show, Saito casually confessed, "Oh, I got my license a few months ago."
Hama Okamoto, who was co-starring with Saito, and even the staff were surprised and said, "Huh!?" The show had planned to film at a driving school to support Saito, who was trying to get his driver's license, but Saito had already gotten his license without realizing it.
Hama retorted, "That's scary! It's scary to not say that for several months..." and Saito gave a wry smile.
