The lineup for Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi, Monday to Friday 1pm), which will air from July 14th to 18th, has been announced. Actor Koichi Sato will appear on the 14th, actor Takako Matsu on the 15th, actor Yasunori Danta on the 16th, scriptwriter Shizuka Oishi on the 17th, and actor Takashi Naito on the 18th.
Sato-san was able to hear about his father, actor Rentaro Mikuni, from people connected to him on the 13th anniversary of his death in April. The couple is working with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's "Friend Home" program, and is actively involved in weekend foster parent activities.
Matsu-san is struggling to balance her work and childcare with her daughter who is in the fifth grade of elementary school. Her hobby of sewing seems to refresh her. She even brings needles and fabric to the work site and embroiders in her spare time.
When Danta moved to Tokyo from Kyoto at the age of 22 with the aim of becoming an actor, his parents encouraged him, saying, "Just do what you want to do." His mother is now 103 years old and has forgotten her son's name, but she sometimes mutters, "Yasunori."
Oishi lost her husband of 45 years to lung cancer at the end of 2022. She was unable to undergo surgery or chemotherapy. Although she has no regrets about completing her caregiving duties, when she was sorting through his belongings and discovered something in his wallet, she couldn't help but...
Mr. Naito has reached the age of 70. He says he is happy that his 94-year-old mother is in good health. He says that his father, who was an NHK employee, had a big influence on him. He was a student soldier and thought he had various thoughts about the war.
