Akiko Wada will appear on the July 21 episode of "Tetsuko's Room"

75-year-old singer Wada Akiko will be appearing on Kuroyanagi Tetsuko's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi), which will be broadcast at 1:00 p.m. on July 21st.

Wada-san has a wide circle of friends in the entertainment industry. He has a painting that Beat Takeshi painted for him, which he displays in his home and treasures. He has known Takeshi for 50 years, and the painting arrived on his birthday. He will share the story while looking at the actual painting on display in the studio.

Ayumi Ishida was a close friend of Wada's since her debut. She was someone she loved and looked up to, so when she passed away at the age of 76 in March this year, she was speechless for a while. Actor Akira Nakao and his wife Shino Ikenami came all the way to New York to see Wada's stage performance in 2008. What was Wada's reaction when she saw the message she received from Ikenami?
