She still isn&#8217;t married herself, so she&#8217;s only going to other peoples&#8217; (laughs). When she sent me the photo I simply had to laugh. That realistic, 3D Father Eye<sup>1<\/sup> on her head\u2026 Apparently they sell those. Things are so amazing these days. Back when we would do party skits, there wasn&#8217;t anything good so we&#8217;d make things by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of Father Eye, that&#8217;s from <em>GeGeGe no Kitarou<\/em>. To back up a bit, I think there was some news lately that they&#8217;re going to rename the airport in Mizuki Shigeru&#8217;s hometown to Yonago Kitaro Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s now 2013. Like they say, &#8216;Good fortune comes to those who laugh&#8217;, so I hope that you&#8217;ll laugh a little seeing this photo. Apparently it was taken at the Takarazuka Hotel, so it&#8217;s possible some of you may have seen her (laughs). She&#8217;s actually an extremely earnest person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026Someone please take her as your bride (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>1 &#8211; A character in horror manga GeGeGe no Kitarou who is just a giant disembodied eye with a tiny body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senka Top Star Todoroki Yuu wrote this blog-style column in Kageki for many years until her retirement (first as &#8216;Talking to Myself&#8217;, then &#8216;Talking to Myself With Photo&#8217; and finally as &#8216;Talking to Myself With&#8230;&#8217;).
