So my wife is watching this retrospective on some singer/movie star here in Japan. Famous man, apparently, made all the women swoon with his crooning. He died 20 years ago.

And there's a little bit with his wife, who is still living in their house, with all of his clothes. One thing she does is pull out a dresser drawer, which is packed with little folded clothes. They are edge-on in the drawer, rows and rows - say at least 80 in front of us, and she says she has more. I'm thinking that's a lot of handkerchiefs for a man to have. They are colorful, so I would guess either handkerchiefs or maybe ties (although I wouldn't store ties that way). Then she pulls one out and unfolds it.

Underwear! His briefs. Quite decorative - this one is white with little hearts and slogans in red on it. Apparently he was a flashy underdresser?

And cut to him on stage, crooning away. No explanation, just one of those little tidbits that the fans love about a star, I guess.

I asked my wife if I buy a lot of colorful underwear, will I become a famous movie star? But she didn't answer me.
