June, 2006. Kyoko Koizumi, 55, was at a theater in Setagaya, Tokyo. She was appearing in the stage production of &#8220;O-Ran, Here I Come. After the daytime performance, Kyon Kyung went to the parking lot. She smiled and waved to the fans waiting for her at the backstage entrance, got into her car, and left the theater behind the wheel.
 &#8220;At the time, Kyung Kyung was at a crossroads. She was rumored to be on the verge of going out of business as an actress because of her publicized affair with Kosuke Toyohara just before she went independent from the entertainment company she had belonged to for many years. After that, Kyung Kyung declared that she would take a break from acting. She must have been fed up with the fact that casting and storylines of TV dramas were influenced by the power of the office. She has always had a strong desire to create what she really wants to see.&#8221; (Entertainment industry insider)
Her big decision as an actress may have been made after cramming in her car.
For busy entertainers, traveling by car is a precious time when they can be alone. Sometimes they think, sometimes they listen to music, sometimes they listen to information on the radio. I&#8217;d like to introduce you to some of the celebrities&#8217; &#8220;time alone in their cars&#8221; with some treasured photos.

As expected of a high class Porsche that costs over 20 million yen, it stood out even in the city center where there are many luxury cars. Holding the wheel with dignity was the TV personality Naomi Watanabe (33).
In October 2006, she attended the preview of the completion of the movie &#8220;I Feel Pretty! which she dubbed, she left the theater and went to a gas station. After refueling, she presented her gold card to the clerk and walked away briskly.
 &#8220;The car she used to show off on a variety show was a Lexus LX 500 that cost over 10 million yen. She had just gotten her driver&#8217;s license the year before, so I was surprised that she got a luxury Lexus for her first car.
<h2>Picking up and dropping off her beloved sons</h2>

It was a scorching hot afternoon in August of 2007. A champagne gold luxury SUV drove past the trees in Hiroo, Tokyo. A dandy of a gentleman gripped the steering wheel in the driver&#8217;s seat. It was the singer Hiromi Goh (65).
 &#8220;She had been divorced twice before, but in March 2012, she announced her third marriage, to a man 24 years her senior. Goh doted on her sons and took the initiative in taking them to and from cram schools for entrance exams.
Even though he is over 60 years old, Go is still able to tour. She seems to be fulfilled in her private and professional life.

Golden Week 2006. A bright yellow Chevrolet Camaro pulled into a parking lot in Shibuya, Tokyo. Coming out of the car was actress Riisa Naka (31).
She was wearing a yellow T-shirt and yellow shoes. She was headed for a beauty clinic, wearing a full-body &#8216;bee look.
 She went to a beauty clinic. &#8220;What Ms. Naka entered was not just an esthetic salon. It is a clinic where doctors, nutritionists, osteopaths and other specialists offer slimming menus based on scientific evidence. There are also many celebrity customers,&#8221; says a beauty writer.
(Beauty writer) &#8220;If you&#8217;re Naka, with your great style, you&#8217;ll look good in a yellow luxury car and t-shirt.
(beauty writer). The aura of their appearance and their luxury cars are just perfect.
