Former Morning Musume, wife of Tomoharu Shoji of the comedy duo Shinagawa Shoji and mother of three children. On TV Asahi's ``After My Husband Sleeps'' (Tuesday, 12:15am), which will be broadcast late at night on the 24th and will be MCed by Miki Fujimoto, comedian and mother of three, and Airi Taira, mother of four and wife of Japan national soccer team defender Yuto Nagatomo, Yuki Hirako and Kenta Sakai, members of the comedy duo Arco & Peace, both fathers of two, will appear. When Taira was away on a road trip and her husband was away, she confessed her worries about her child not listening to what she was saying during her ``one-time childcare''.
Taira said, ``When I'm alone, I get praised for being a good girl, but when there are four of us, it gets out of hand.He won't listen to me, and even when I cry and say, ``Why won't you listen to me?'', he says things like ``Mommy, you're cute even when you're angry,'' while playing with his tablet,'' he said, revealing the moment when he almost lost his temper. When this happens, she pretends to leave and hides, and doesn't come out until the children start crying, looking for their mother. ``If you don't go that far, I won't listen to you,'' he complained.
When asked what he does at times like this, Fujimoto replied, ``I just say, ``Are you licking me?'''', to which Hirako pointed out, ``You're listening to Dosu, right? (Fujimoto) has a ladylike way of saying Dosu. Airi has a gentle throat,'' which caused laughter.
He revealed that at the Hirako family, ``We usually tell our children, ``Mom is better than dad, so listen to what mom says.'' If things go too far, we say, ``Mom is the best woman in the world for dad, so you all know how you'll behave with that woman.'''' He said that he called this the theory of ``Lion Heart.''
Hearing Hirako's words about conveying to her child the sentiment found in the lyrics of SMAP's famous song ``Lion Heart,'' ``Someday, when I have a child, I'll tell them that I love them the second most in the world,'' Yokozawa said, ``Awesome!'' and Fujimoto was impressed, saying, ``Mom is happy, too.''
