Sen Masao, a 77-year-old singer who is celebrating his 60th anniversary since his debut this year, will appear on Kuroyanagi Tetsuko's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi), which will be broadcast at 1:00 p.m. on October 14th.
When he came to Tokyo from Iwate as a high school student, he suddenly visited the home of Minoru Endo, a popular composer at the time, without an appointment. There were more than 100 young people waiting to become his disciples. However, with his natural eloquence, he became friendly with the maid, and was the only one allowed to become his disciple.
He also reveals the hilarious behind-the-scenes stories of the creation of the hit songs "Tsugaru Heiya" and "Ore-ra Tokyo Sa Ikuguda," written by Yoshi Ikuzo, who looked after him from the time when he was not yet popular. His beloved parakeets also make an appearance, as per usual.
