Ikuta Tomoko, an actress and wife of former Japanese national soccer team member Nakayama Masashi, will appear on Kuroyanagi Tetsuko's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi), which will air on January 16th at 1:00 p.m.
One senior she will never forget is Shiozawa Toki, who took the world by storm with her unique hairstyle. She says she has many fond memories of her that make her laugh just thinking about them. Another is her great senior, Niiju Michiyo. She co-starred with her when she was a child actor before her debut, and later debuted from the same agency as Niiju. She says that the metal bead bag that Niiju gave her at the time is a treasure. In addition to showing off the bag in the studio, she will also talk about her memories while watching nostalgic footage of Shiozawa.
Her father passed away in January of last year, and she has only recently been able to talk about her feelings at the time. When her father passed away, her mother was in poor health and hospitalized, so she took over all the arrangements for the funeral on her own. When her father's condition worsened and she was asked about life-prolonging measures, she said she couldn't make an immediate decision. Her husband accompanied her father to the hospital, which was reassuring.
