The fourth episode of the variety show “Damatterenai Onna tachi season2” was distributed on the video distribution service “ABEMA” on March 26. The program closely followed Tamayo Shimada (55), a member of Yoshimoto Shinki Theatre, who is known for her high tension tricks such as “panty-tex,” and revealed her complicated family situation. Photo: Finally as a mother and daughter…two smiling shots with Riko, who is now in high school. Shimada married for the second time at the age of 34 and gave birth to her first daughter, Riko, at the age of 37. She doted on her daughter so much that she said, “My daughter is my everything,” and envisioned a happy future for the family of three. However, her husband was diagnosed with stage 4 rectal cancer and given five years to live. During her husband’s battle with the disease, their marriage gradually deteriorated, eventually leading to divorce. During the divorce, her husband pleaded with her, “The only thing I want to live for is my daughter. I will take care of our daughter.” She explained that she gave up custody of Riko, who was 3 years old at the time, “out of a sense of desperation. She tearfully described her feelings at the time, saying, “I hate, hate, hate,” and “I’m so sorry. Nine years after her divorce, following the death of her ex-husband, she moved back in with Riko, who is now 12 years old. However, the parent-child relationship was “like living with a relative’s auntie,” and “I was distant,” she recalled. She did not know how to interact with her adolescent daughter, and one day Riko told her, “Mom wasn’t there when I was going through a difficult time. It was your father who was with me all the time and raised me. You didn’t do anything for me, so don’t act like a mother! There were times when they did not speak to each other at all for two months. In the midst of this rock bottom, she was saved by the words of Akie Asaka, a senior mama comedian, who told her, “It’s because I’m spoiled by you,” and “You are seen as a mother. After that, he gradually thawed out with Riko. When she was invited as a guest to an event by Nanamagari, a junior duo, she was told, “Mom, you’ve sold it. He also boasted that Riko, who is now in high school, makes his homemade lunch boxes for him. At the end of the VTR, he read a letter that Riko gave him as a surprise and said, “I love you so much, Mom. I will cherish it. (Yorozu-News Editorial Department)
