Sato Kondo, a former Fuji TV announcer who is now a freelancer, will appear on Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi), which will air on September 22nd at 1:00 p.m.
He is now 57 years old. Originally from Gifu, he dreamed of working in television and went on to study at Nihon University College of Art. It was his father who encouraged him. His father wanted Kondo to succeed in life, and he would use a variety of difficult words to convey his feelings at every opportunity. When his father passed away at the age of 66, he left behind certain words. What were his father's final words that surprised Kondo?
She is also active as a kimono enthusiast who promotes the appeal of kimono. This year, she was appointed Ambassador of the Beautiful Island of Okinawa, and appeared in an Okinawan bingata kimono. She also brought along some memorable kimonos, including a visiting kimono her mother bought her for her 20th birthday, the first kimono she bought herself in her twenties, and an obi woven by a Living National Treasure, and engaged in lively discussions about kimono with Kuroyanagi.
