Actress Yuko Natori appeared on Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi) on January 5th. She talked about her favorite magic tricks and illnesses.
When he previously appeared on the same show, he performed magic and received a fellowship award from the Japan Magic Association. "I really love magic." He studied Mr. Maric's magic through correspondence courses and called himself "Mr. Natock," so when he met Maric, he told him he was calling himself "Mr. Natock," and he accepted, saying, "I'll forgive you. I'll take you on as my apprentice."
This time, he showed off a trick to take out a wine bottle from a scarf of three colors (red, blue, and yellow) and a trick to change a 1,000 yen bill into a 10,000 yen bill. The latter trick was taught to him by the president of the Japan Magic Association, and he said, "If I do it poorly, I'll probably get in trouble."
I developed a herniated disc. I was outside and suddenly felt pain, and I couldn't walk. I managed to get a taxi home and went to the hospital to get it checked out. There was a period when I "walked with a cane," but I'm completely better now. I've also had eye surgery. "It's like I'm completely injured." Over 10 years ago, I developed epiretinal blemishes in one of my eyes. I had surgery, but it left me with a terrible bruise. I had a story written about me being punched, and I was allowed to wear sunglasses and heavy eye shadow. "A lot happens when you live a long life."
On set, the eyes are strained. "The lighting technician is all about lighting, trying to get the actresses to look beautiful." When she went to Kyoto, where the film's lighting technician is, "he uses lots of lighting, trying to get the shots to look beautiful." It was around the time they were switching to LED, so there were lights everywhere. In one scene where she was serving rice, she opened an electric rice cooker and found a light installed inside, which surprised her and made her laugh, causing her to have to do a NG. Even though the lighting was perfect for her to look good, when she made a strange face during a close-up shot, she was scolded, "Hey, we're trying so hard to get the lights to look good, what's with that face?" Even with light shone on her from a reflector, she had to keep her eyes open to act. "I think (the eye disease) is an occupational hazard."
