Violinist Chisako Takashima (55) appeared on the Asahi TV program “Zawatsuku! Friday” (6:50 pm after Friday) broadcast on the 19th and talked about the world-famous star she happened to encounter during her stay in the United States.
Takashima went to the United States during spring break. “I visited 16 universities for my son’s school trips, on the west coast.”“I thought I would look at the famous Stanford University,” he said, and he also toured the prestigious university that became a hot topic in Japan after Rintaro Sasaki from Hanamaki Higashi enrolled there. “I took some amazing pictures,” he said.
“I was buying T-shirts and stuff in the school shop, and my son was outside taking pictures of the scenery… Look at this picture.” In the picture my son took outside , a man was standing on the left with a smile on his face. “After we got back to Japan, my oldest son said to my second son, “Hey, that person on the left is some kind of famous person. ”We all started enlarging (the images).” In the program, the photo was zoomed in little by little, and the video showed the man up close.
Takashima simply said, “Isn’t he scary? Federer!” In the photo my son took casually, was Roger Federer, a professional tennis star with 20 wins in all four major tournaments and the “King of the Grass” who had unparalleled strength on grass courts.
“Isn’t that terrible? It’s a coincidence!” Much to Takashima’s excitement, Kazushige Nagashima, a talented former professional baseball player, was surprised and asked, “Why is Federer here?” ‘?”
Takashima confirmed Federer’s SNS posts on the day. “No way! I follow Federer on Instagram, so I looked and saw he was on the West Coast around that time. There were pictures of him wearing the same outfit and riding a bike on the same day.” He was completely convinced that it was him.
The photo, taken by my son at random, showed Mr. Federer on the far left and the fountain and school facilities in the background. However, for some reason, in the middle was an unknown male figure carrying a backpack. Takashima tilted his head and said, “I was wondering what my son wanted to take this picture of.”
