Something Miho Nakayama lost after her divorce

The 61-year-old still has flowing hair and superb cooking skills. Last year he updated himself on his daily routine as a single dad on SNS to critical acclaim and also won the Yahoo Search Award (Writer category). The winners of the other categories are Satota Fujii, BIGEDAN (short for official haired man idsm), FUWA sauce and other people.

Trying to "search" it can be seen from the results that it has been 7 years since Zi Tsuji and Miho Nakayama (51 years old) divorced. At first, some people said that it was because of Tsuji's "neutralization", but it was later exposed with Miho's derailment. Custody of his 10-year-old son thus fell into Tsuji's hands.

The transition from a top idol to a ratings queen was the first setback for Miho Nakayama, who had a smooth ride, and she also admitted to cheating by stating in women's magazines that she had "met someone she liked". This also directly led to her image falling to the bottom.

But to say that this result is very surprising, it is not so. In fact, her mother had a similar incident.

According to the essay collection Because Gentle Streets Wait for Me (2009), Miho's parents divorced when she was 3 years old. Her mother "wants to go back to square one" and hands Miho and her sister (Shinobu Nakayama) to the "Tokyo Sister's House" for foster care. Her uncle believed that "little children are innocent" and took care of them instead of "mothers who abandoned everything".

It is also written in the book that both she and her mother had the experience of being "held a kitchen knife by the men who lived together." How similar the mother and daughter are.

Incidentally, in the New Year of her debut, she participated in a similar party program after the end of a similar record award, in which there was a session that asked the 5 people who won the newcomer award to play a game with their father. Only she let Goki Hiroshi replace her father, and at this time, she also regarded her uncle as a father in her real life.

Originally, her son was taken care of by her ex-husband. After the divorce, Tsuji saw his son who was secretly hiding and crying, and decided, "I will also take on the role of mother and (slightly) want to make food for him." Later, when his son showed him the medals he won at the Games, he updated the caption online with the caption "It's all the result of a fried chicken bento (laughs)." That's great. It's already a completely "motherly" tone. Tsuji, who once caused the world to discuss "neutralization", is now a person who goes beyond the male category and has "female power".

On the contrary, Miho should be very sad about the current situation. In the book mentioned earlier, because she spent a lonely childhood, she is happy to maintain a good family and make her son yearn for the close relationship between his parents.

"I hope we can always be his ideal couple."

She writes about it in the book. Not only has this ideal been shattered, but the role of mother, who should have been played by herself, has also been replaced by her ex-husband.

However, she debuted as a taciturn person who caused the author a lot of headaches in interviews. Although her sister is the same, her work partners say: "My sister doesn't like to talk." "However, when singing and acting, it is so vivid and shining, people can't help but feel that they are really natural artists."

This sparkle has gradually dimmed over the years. In the past, when she played the idol "Miho Kin" in "My Mother is an Idol" (TBS TV), her femininity was strong enough to make the same sex fall for it. What kind of mood is she in now that she has even been surpassed by her ex-husband at this point?
