■Child reporters ask Akiko Wada questions! “Why did you become a singer if you are a strong fighter?”
“Waruiko Atsumare” (NHK General) is a new type of educational variety show in which Goro Inagaki, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi (“Nagi” officially refers to the front + sword of a bow) and Shingo Katori regularly appear.
On the October 8th broadcast, Akiko Wada will appear for the first time in the popular section “Children’s Press Conference.”
Akiko Wada will celebrate 57 years in the entertainment industry on October 25th. Although he has been active in a wide variety of fields such as actors, entertainers, and MCs for many years, his main job and origin is as a singer. In order to continue singing, he says, “Right now I practice the most.” He shares the secret to his vitality.
Child reporters asked her fearless questions, such as, “Why did you become a singer if you’re a strong fighter?” “What other profession did you want to be other than a singer?” “Have you ever felt like you could beat another singer?” One after another. Wada, who often watches “Waruiko Atsumare,” answers each question with sincerity. He passionately talks about his pride as a singer, along with a number of treasured videos such as famous scenes from “NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.”
Furthermore, Yoshizumi Ishihara appears for the first time in “Wakago haiku,” which includes “Wakago” (words that children like to use) in addition to the original seasonal words. Ishihara struggled with this topic, saying, “I’ve often heard my son use it, but I’ve never used it myself!” He can’t help but feel dissatisfied with the criticism from his teacher (Katsuhiro Takayanagi) and moderator Katori.
In “Goro Hanagaki,” where the voices of flowers can be heard for some reason, a familiar autumn flower appears, but another flower that appears to be a rival (?) intervenes. When Goro hears each other’s arguments, he seems to be half taken aback and tries to calm down the similar people.
