Mami Nomura's "Tetsuko's Room" August 13th broadcast episode: First day of her 60th birthday in India

Mami Nomura, an actress known for her role as Yoko Okakura, the fourth daughter in the TV drama series "Wataru Seken wa Oni Bakari," appeared on Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi), which aired on August 13th. She talked about celebrating her 60th birthday in India last year, the three countries she wanted to visit, and more.

On the day of his 60th birthday, he happened to be in India. Feeling extremely happy in his beloved India, he felt he had to express his gratitude somehow. His hotel room was a corner room on a high floor, so he opened all the curtains and sunlight poured in. Facing the sun, he danced to a song he had just learned at the time called "Bena" for 1 minute 40 seconds, expressing his gratitude. Looking back, he said, "It was a refreshing first day (of my 60th birthday)."

She loves to travel and has visited many countries for both business and personal reasons, but has been to India six times. When she leaves the airport and steps out onto the street, she feels like she's home. At that moment, she uses her five senses to feel the sounds, the air, and the scenery. Indian women, regardless of age, wear saris in beautiful colors like emerald green, pink, and royal blue.

In India, she spent time with people involved in charity work, and indirectly gave children gifts like watches and clothes, and helped serve meals. She also visited her favorite temples, went to the sea and forests where there aren't many tourists, went to restaurants, and did some shopping. "I thought it would be a shame not to take a bath in the Ganges River, so I dove in up to my head and returned home feeling refreshed," she recalls.

When he was in elementary school, he decided on three countries (places) he wanted to visit when he grew up: the Pyramids, the Dead Sea, and Easter Island. He visited the Pyramids and the Dead Sea, and reflected, "It's like fulfilling my childhood dream, but I still haven't seen the Moai statues on Easter Island in Chile. It's quite far away, isn't it? I still want to travel around the world."
