 Kaori Hosoki, the heiress of Hosoki&#8217;s &#8220;Rokusei Horoscope,&#8221; has been gaining more and more exposure. On the first day of the film&#8217;s release, she updated her YouTube channel, saying that Netflix had made an offer to make a film about two years ago.
 We don&#8217;t have the authority to say, &#8216;Please don&#8217;t do it. If they say, &#8216;It&#8217;s a fiction,&#8217; we say, &#8216;Oh, really?
 He continued, &#8220;We have no authority to say, &#8216;It&#8217;s a fiction. He continued
 I think it&#8217;s okay, though, since it&#8217;s a fiction. He also said, &#8216;It&#8217;s not such a beautiful life. But my respect for him has not changed.
 He also said, &#8220;My respect for him hasn&#8217;t changed.

 According to a TV person who knew her at the time
 She was the queen of ratings. Her outspoken attitude may have matched the stagnant state of the world. Every New Year, all TV people made a pilgrimage to Hosoki,&#8221; he said.
 Hosoki was a &#8220;queen&#8221; in his own right.

<h2>The war had a great impact on his life.</h2>
 Since his retirement, Mr. Hosoki has had little exposure, and lives out the rest of his days at his home in Dogenzaka, Shibuya, Tokyo. A media person who knew Mr. Hosoki in his later years told this website
 He answered the phone even if he received a call from a stranger&#8217;s number. Although the call was for an interview, we often found ourselves chatting endlessly about the old days and small talk. His tone of voice was not rough, but rather relaxed and admonishing. When I said something funny, he would laugh over the phone and say, &#8216;You really are an idiot, aren&#8217;t you?
 He recalls with nostalgia.

 Netflix films depict how Mr. Hosoki rose to prominence after the war, how he outwitted others and rose to the top of the nightlife world.
 However, in his later years, Mr. Hosoki seemed to have lost his &#8220;toxicity,&#8221; and was a man who listened kindly to people. One of the things he was particularly emphatic about was the &#8220;war.
 Ms. Hosoki was born in 1938, about three years before the outbreak of the Pacific War. According to a sports newspaper reporter who was a close friend of hers, Ms. Hosoki herself said, &#8220;When I was a child, I was clever and had a lot of classes.
 When she was a child, she was clever and listened seriously to her lessons. She often asked questions of her teachers.
 Hosoki herself said, &#8220;As a child, she was clever and listened seriously to her lessons.
 However, when the Pacific War broke out, men went to war one after another to &#8220;serve their country. Then the war ended. &#8230;&#8230; Mr. Hosoki said
 If you win, you are in the government&#8217;s army; if you lose, you are a bandit army. That is true for everything. That is why war is absolutely forbidden. Your life will be ruined. There is no greater misfortune than this.
 He reiterated. He also likened it to the Ako Ronin&#8217;s revenge attack (1703).
 The Ako Ronin are considered a beautiful story because they defeated Kira Uenosuke, but if they had failed, they would have been evaluated in a completely different way. The same is true of war. The winner is justified. The loser The loser is miserable.
 The sports reporter also said, &#8220;There are a lot of things being said in the world about Hosokawa.

 Mr. Hosoki is a man of many opinions, but when it came to the subject of war, he was clearly anti-war. After the war, Japan was a poor country, and there were many people who were struggling to survive. There is no doubt that the war had a great impact on her later life.
 Currently, the world is in turmoil due to the use of force by the U.S. and Israel against Iran. A U.S. missile accidentally landed on a girls&#8217; elementary school in southern Iran, causing the tragic loss of more than 170 people.
 U.S. President Trump makes no attempt to hide his desire for conquest. If Mr. Hosoki were still alive, what would he have said?
