Reader’s Question:
I was very surprised to hear that Ryoko Hirosue was arrested. I always thought she was one of the biggest stars after the war, so I can’t believe it. I want to know more about the situation.
Can’t Hide My Surprise at Ryoko Hirosue’s News
Recently, I was truly shocked to hear the news that Ryoko Hirosue was arrested.
I’ve known about her for a long time, and especially during my childhood, I saw her frequently on television; she was indeed a “star.” It’s hard to believe that something like this could happen.
My Feelings and Everyone’s Opinions
However, after seeing a certain comment, I was compelled to think a bit. There was an opinion that the expression “the biggest star after the war” is surprising. Indeed, while Hirosue was incredibly popular as an idol, when you say “the biggest” after the war, it brings to mind various other stars. Particularly in my generation, there are many big names like Seiko Matsuda and Akina Nakamori, among others. So, I felt that calling her “the biggest” might be a bit of an exaggeration. But perhaps my perception comes from the fact that I don’t know Hirosue during her peak. For her fans, she was undoubtedly a special presence.
Interesting Moments and Memories
Personally, I grew up watching Hirosue’s movies and dramas. In particular, “Shirasen Nagashi” is a work that evokes feelings of youth, and I remember getting excited with friends while watching scenes saying, “This part is the best!” Back then, I would see her smiling face in magazines, and it would make my heart race. It brings back such nostalgic feelings. Amidst all this, I was genuinely surprised by the recent news. After all, I hope that stars will not betray our expectations. But you never know what might happen in this world.
