Actress Tae Kimura will appear on Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's long-running talk show "Tetsuko's Room" (TV Asahi), airing on June 11th at 1 PM. With over 35 years in the entertainment industry, Kimura will share her thoughts on her first starring role in a stage play, overcoming her past weakness for singing, and other topics that will give viewers a glimpse into her active and passionate personality.
She spoke for the first time on television about her 18-year-old daughter. Her daughter dropped out of high school to study in Australia to learn English and was selected for the Western Australian touch rugby team. She recounts her daughter's journey from a bittersweet homestay experience in elementary school to her dream of starting her own business, from a mother's perspective.
Kimura says he has the utmost respect for rugby players who get up and keep moving forward even when they fall. Kuroyanagi is also a big rugby fan and speaks passionately about Seiji Hirao, who once played for Kobe Steel. It is also revealed that Ryozo Okuda, one of Japan's leading tenor singers, is a relative of Kimura and a friend of Kuroyanagi's father, revealing a surprising connection.
