The TV program that I had an interview with yesterday
is a special documentary about my husband,
titled “I am Ichikawa Ebizo”,
which will air at 10:00pm-11:30pm on the 9th of January on Nihon TV.
I watched a few shows on TV where my husband had interviews over Christmas and New Year.
I know he always answers to any kind of questions.
But while watching him responding to the questions about me as well,
I had mixed feelings of guilt and appreciation.
I wondered if there was anything that I could do to be helpful for him,
and I thought of this documentary program.
“I am Ichikawa Ebizo” is the TV program that has been recording us even before our marriage.
Since it also captures our family journey, I have some sort of personal attachment to it.
My disease was kept confidential to the staff of this documentary program too.
So, they might think I became a stranger who suddenly disappeared.
Although our situation remains the same,
I thought it would be nice if I could make a bit of contribution by talking about him from my point of view while looking back over the past year.
It was nothing special.
It’s been a while since my last interview
so I had to stir myself up, of course. J
But this is something that I’ve been doing every year.
So, my interview part will be also included in the program this year again, as usual.
I appreciate the staff for their generous understanding and support on my situation.
Hopefully, you all enjoy this year’s documentary, “I am Ichikawa Ebizo”.
