Actress Yuka Nomura, who gained popularity as the "original child idol," appeared on TV Tokyo's information program "Yojigoji Days" (Monday-Friday, 3:40 PM). On social media, there was a flurry of surprised reactions to Nomura's appearance at the age of 42.
Nomura gained popularity as the "original child idol" during the child actor boom of the 1990s, and also served as a leading model for the teen fashion magazine "Nicola" (Shinchosha).
The program featured "Factory Outlets in Tokyo's Downtown Area! Incredibly Affordable and Delicious Gourmet Food." As a "factory outlet hunter," Nomura visited upscale pickled food shops and beef stores in downtown Tokyo that also have branches in department stores, and enjoyed pickled foods and roast beef trimmings at the factory outlets. Nomura, who is also a mother of two, revealed that she and her family have visited a furikake (rice seasoning) factory and a konjac park, drawing praise from fans who commented, "You're still incredibly cute!"
