I just caught the latest episode of "Utacon," an NHK program I'd never seen before. It kinda blends old (i.e. *my* favorite music) and new (the peeps I see only once a year on NHK Kouhaku).
Anywell, I was curious because Yamamoto Linda was one of the guests. Lemme tell you: She's gonna live longer than ALL of us. I'm pretty sure she's in her *seventies* -- the girls dancing with her are young enough to be her grandkids. I mean, she didn't look THAT much older than Kudo Shizuka!
