Message from Tsuruga Wakasanojo XI:

The cold weather is continuing every day. How have you been spending time this new year?

The world is changing quickly. I can’t predict what is going to happen in the world in such times. When I started in shinnai, there were also many problems in the world.

It’s been quite a while since I have performed on NHK TV.

This program was taped on January 12. After that, I could finally relax and enjoy the New Year.

If you have time, please watch the program on January 27.
