Hide and Seek with Miho
Dump Matsumoto (professional wrestler)
I first met Miho when she was 15 years old. We co-starred in the drama “Every time I see you” (TBS), in which she made her debut as an actress.
When I went to the scene of the drama, Miho cheerfully greeted me with a “Good morning! I had a game that day.
I had a game that day, and the drama was shot early in the morning, so I was trying to get some sleep during the break, when Miho came into my dressing room and said, “Dump-chan, let’s play hide-and-seek! she said at …….
We ended up playing hide-and-seek together (laughs). She blindfolded me from behind and said, ” Who’s that?” I replied, “It’s Miho-chan, isn’t it? It was like playing with my younger sister.
I think Miho has a strong impression of being mature and sexy, but at the time she was an energetic, bright, and lively girl.
I asked her, “Aren’t you afraid of the League of Extreme Evil?” She replied, “I’m not afraid! I thought she was really honest, funny, and cute .
It was decades ago, but I remember those memories of Miho as if it were only yesterday. I want her to come back. After Miho passed away, I looked back at the old photos and saw her looking at the dump with a very kind face. I couldn’t help but feel nostalgic.
I pray from the bottom of my heart for her soul. Let’s play hide-and-seek together again sometime.
