Etsushi Takahashi (高橋悦史), Etsuko Ichihara (市原悦子), Michiko Araki (荒木道子) and Meiko Kaji (梶芽衣子) in The Housekeeper Saw! (家政婦は見た!), 1984.

The episode was titled Secret Of An Elite Family's Affair (エリート家族の浮気の秘密 みだれて…), so you can probably guess the plot.

Got word over the weekend that actress Etsuko Ichihara (市原悦子) died. She starred in a whole bunch of movies and TV series during her career, including Samurai Rebellion (上意討ち 拝領妻始末), The Face Of Another (他人の顔) and The Eel (うなぎ).

To the best of my knowledge, she and Meiko Kaji appeared onscreen together twice, both on episodes of The Housekeeper Saw! (家政婦は見た!), an Asahi TV drama series that aired 26 specials from 1983 to 2008. Ichihara starred in all of them as the Housekeeper. Meiko Kaji appeared in special 2, titled The Secret Cheating In Elite Homes (エリート家庭の浮気の秘密 みだれて…) in 1984 and special 21, The Two Faces Of The Department Store King (大財閥デパート王の表と裏の二つの顔！影の家族の相関図) in 2003.

This is the only image I have of the two of them because I haven’t gotten around to screencapping my DVDs yet.

A very talented actress. Sad to hear of her passing.

In this episode, we spend the day with Etsuko Ichihara, media artist and self-proclaimed “fantasy director”. Ichihara has worked on various projects combining Japanese tradition to modern technologies to create unique interactive experiences. Our first stop will be in the Kawashima shopping street, where Ichihara handled art direction for a local festival, curating and showcasing some of her original works, such as her unconventional “Sexual Harassment Interface”. We will then follow her to the Akasaka Hikawa shrine, where we will hear more about her “Digital Shaman Project”, a project that combines humanoid robots to the mourning process, which was heavily influenced by Buddhism and her personal experience. Ichihara also takes her inspiration from Japanese traditional folklore; she will tell us more about her “Namahage in Tokyo” project, which unleashes a Japanese traditional creature in the streets of Tokyo.
