The lineup for Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi, Monday to Friday, 1pm), which will air from October 6th to 10th, has been announced. On the 6th, actress Mao Daichi will appear, on the 7th, "Exciting! Cheers to 'Female Friends'", on the 8th, entertainer Toshikazu Nunokawa, on the 9th, actor Rei Kikukawa, and on the 10th, entertainer IMALU.
It has been 52 years since Daichi made her stage debut. She has been married to her husband of 18 years, designer Yasumichi Morita, and he not only cooks a variety of dishes, but also likes to collect cooking tools. Last year, they enjoyed making a frying pan together.
"Exhilarating! Cheers to our female friends" will feature episodes featuring Ozora Mayumi and Anna Jun, who met through a stage play; Yamamoto Fujiko and Koyama Akiko, who are family friends; and Matsushima Tomoko and Yoshinaga Michiko, who became close through an unexpected connection.
Nunokawa turned 60 this year. His birthday was celebrated by his daughter and grandchildren. He has three grandchildren. When celebrating his grandchildren, the whole family, including his ex-wife, Tsuchiya Kaori, gathers together. He revealed that the apartment he moved into to celebrate his 60th birthday was a surprising property.
Kikukawa is a mother of three. She divorced in November last year and became a single mother. The person she was able to talk to about her anxieties was the late Ogura Tomoaki, who had co-starred with her on live TV shows for many years, and who encouraged her by saying, "Rei-chan, it's going to be okay."
IMALU started living in two places, Amami Oshima and Tokyo, three years ago. When she works in Tokyo, she stays at her parents' house, so she spends more time with her mother, actress Shinobu Otake. She also revealed that she used to watch her father, Sanma Akashiya, from afar.
