Daughter:
"Mama, you know. You aren't really suited for TV."
"You have to be able to speak (when you're on TV), at least to some extent."

Ichii:
"It may seem like that, but Mama is actually doing her best."

Daughter:
"That's no good then. Don't you have a quiz show next week?"
"Ehh, I think that's impossible for you. They are asking you questions after all!?"
"Well, good luck (ironic smile)"

Ichii explained that her daughter is always straight to the point and doesn't hold back with her opinion, "At this point, she's more relentless with me than my manager."

Furthermore she wrote. "Of course this also results in her having no interest in entering the world of show business at all. She wants to work with her hands and do something practical. She'll become a reliable person. How wonderful~"
