Karen Otomo continues to appear in popular productions. From Thursday, April 2nd, her starring drama "Azatokawaii Watashi ga Yūshō" (I, the Cunningly Cute One, Win) began broadcasting, and she is leading a busy life. For Ms. Otomo, her home is "a place surrounded by my favorite things, where I can recharge." When choosing interior items, she looks for things that make her think, "I want to stay here forever." Because it's a space where only her favorite things are in sight, she can truly relax. In the latter half of the interview, Ms. Otomo also gives advice to those starting a new life this spring!

■ First Feature: Seen in Real-Life Examples - I Found My Ideal Life After Relocating
https://madream.jp/book/vol67/special01/
In the regular feature "Real-Life Examples of Living," we introduce two families who achieved their ideal life through relocation. The Tsuruhori couple, who had lived in Tokyo for a long time, moved to Isumi City, Chiba Prefecture, and started living in a single-story house after adopting two rescue dogs. What used to be "busy days just completing the tasks in front of them" has now become a life where they can "feel happiness in the everyday."
The okb_fam and yuka couple first tried a trial move to Zushi for about a year and a half because their home no longer matched their lifestyle. Later, with the birth of their child, they purchased a used condominium in Tsujido and made a full-scale move. The couple wanted to "create a house that gets them excited" through renovation and interior design. They found that not only their commitment to the interior but also the increased variety of outings made them excited both inside and outside the home.

■ Second Feature: Popularity Soaring Due to Redevelopment in Tachikawa, Tokyo / Suita, Osaka, a Place You'll Want to Return to Even After Leaving
https://madream.jp/book/vol67/special02_3/
In the regular feature "Towns We Want to Live in Now," we propose Tachikawa (Tokyo) and Suita (Osaka) as towns where families can easily lead their ideal life. With the opening of large-scale commercial complexes like GREEN SPRINGS, Tachikawa has become a place where everything can be completed around the station. It can be said that it is a town where many people, including child-rearing generations, can easily envision their ideal life.
Suita, while being an urban city adjacent to Osaka, is very attractive for its abundance of greenery. In addition, there are many nurseries and kindergartens, as well as five universities in the city. Furthermore, since there are many companies, it is not uncommon for residents to say, "I was born, went to school, and work in Suita." We introduce the charm of Suita, a place that "you can't leave once you've lived there."
