BMW,
Well that worked. And quickly too.
In response to my inquiry about Yamaguchi Tomoko's "comeback" in January, Japan Zone emailed me:
Kevin,
She appeared in the TBS special drama "Mukoda Kuniko no Koibumi" which aired on January 2. It was to mark the 50th anniversary of TV in Japan. The official web site is still up:
http://www.tbs.co.jp/kuni-koi/
Yamaguchi played the title character, a scriptwriter said to have over
1,000 TV dramas and 10,000 radio works to her name from the mid-1960s.

These guys aren't bad.
Of course, now I have to go out and fine one particular episode of SMAP, and a TBS Special. Sheesh!

Veteran actress Awaji Keiko (70) has finally given up on her deliquent son. Actor Yorozuya Kichinosuke (31), the youngest of her four sons, was handed down a 6-month prison sentence for breaking into her Tokyo home in May. He said at the time that he just wanted to see his mother, but he has a record of stealing from her home. Kichinosuke is the son of the late actor Yorozuya Kinnosuke, Awaji's second husband whom she divorced in 1987. Their eldest son (Awaji's third) Akihiro died in a car crash in 1990. Kichinosuke made his acting debut alongside his father at the age of six. He had been out of work in recent years and developed an alcohol problem. A tearful Awaji spoke to the press yesterday and said she had "no more love" for her son. • The ex-husband of actress and model Umemiya Anna (31), named as Chiba Takashi (33), was arrested in Tokyo yesterday for running an illegal gambling operation (see Wednesday's story for more details).

The lady that's always on the Iron Chef tasting panel and Takky? What an odd couple. :sweat:
Actually, now that I think about it, maybe it's just phrased wrong and they meant that her show will air WITH Takky's show. Not as bad as that M-Flo one though. :beaten: :hehe:

Yes. Or play around either. *gulp* :sweat:

It took me a moment to place her but now that I reflect on Iron Chef I can remember who she is. I think she would make a great talk show host.
