Singer Sanae and Reika Kouzuki New show starts in November , the Mother and Daughter Who are Dearly Loved in Downtown Tokyo
Mr. Masato Sugimoto, who is famous for “Ago Yabo,” wrote a song called “Koi wa Mystery,” which we both sang together. But at that time, Reika went to Osaka right after the release of the song. So, unlike 10 years ago, I would like to sing “Koiwa no Onna” with just the two of us this time.
A few years later, I returned to Koiwa, safe and sound (?). Reika has returned to Koiwa. She is now active as an artist who draws mandala paintings.
I liked painting, but I didn’t study it when I was a student. But my mother encouraged me to try mandala painting, so I took a class. I was hooked. I started to take it seriously, and I have been creating my own original paintings with rhinestones and sparkling things.
Reika says that she never draws the same mandala twice. All of her mandala paintings are “one-of-a-kind,” and they are so popular that some cost several hundred thousand yen, and the most expensive ones are sold for several million yen.
New Program to Start in November
Sanae’s mother, Sanae, has been singing in Koiwa. Her daughter, Reika, is a popular mandala artist. The TV program “Koiwa no Onna no Onna no Jijo” (Chiba TV, BS12), hosted by the unique mother and daughter, will start on November 1.
We would like to invite guests and talk with them for a full 30 minutes on the theme of “onna” (women) and “love. We mothers and daughters have a lot of experience in “love,” so we hope to hear a lot of “adult talk,” and we also hope to talk frankly.
In addition to their duet song “Koiwa no Onna,” Sanae and Reika Kouzuki are also trying their hand at TV shows. However, they are surprisingly “natural” in their appearance.
To be honest, this is not a time when CDs sell well, and I don’t really have high expectations for them (laughs). I don’t really feel like I’m trying my best to sell them. I can’t decorate well, so I just show the mother and daughter as they are. At the live shows, I just show my drunken appearance as it is. …… (laughs).
But I want everyone who comes to our live shows to enjoy themselves and leave not just saying, “The song was good,” but “It was fun today, too. It would be great if they laughed, said they were empowered, and left feeling energized.
The gorgeous visuals of the band give off a powerful singing ability that is hard to imagine. I now understand why Sanae and Reika Kouzuki are so loved in Koiwa.
