1.If you were famous what would your stage name be?
Osaka, Japan's second-largest city, combines historical richness with modern living. Known for its ancient tombs and unique skyscrapers, it has flourished as an economic and cultural hub. Osaka is the birthplace of Kamigata Rakugo and manzai, a form of popular entertainment, symbolizing its culture of laughter. As the "nation's kitchen," it offers diverse culinary delights. Its proximity to Kyoto and Kobe, reachable within an hour, further enhances its appeal.
2.If you would attend a celebrity wedding which, would it be?
A simple black dress and white jacket are the most important because they suit me and are versatile. I've been told since childhood that black and white look good on me. Wearing that colors give an elegant and sophisticated vibe. They match any occasion, from formal ceremonies to casual outings, adapting to the scene perfectly. Additionally, the black dress has the practical benefit of not showing dirt easily.
3.What is the weirdest gift you’ve ever received?
I love cocking chicken soup. It's easy, delicious, and nutritious. I simmer a whole chicken with bones and vegetables for over three hours. I use about seven seasonal vegetables: daikon radish and leeks in winter, cabbage and onions in summer. Garlic and celery are musts. It takes an hour to prep and makes enough for ten servings. We enjoy it for three days, sometimes turning it into curry, a family favorite.
4.What is the most random fact you know?
I read novels in the garden. I should have time to read, but months often pass before I realize it. I read work-related books out of necessity, but novels are different. If I had an extra hour each day, I’d leisurely read novels and share their stories with family and friends.
5.What is the one thing you’ll never do again?
A new field was to be built on an acquaintance's property, and I volunteered to dig up the soil with a shovel and my hands. The land was being dug up for the first time in about 100 years, and the ground was filled with garbage, dead animals, and smelled terrible. It was hard work, but when we were done, the soil was leveled, and we felt a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
