when imoto reached the summit of mount kilimanjaro in june 2009 as part of the show "sekai no hatemade itteq", she said that she wanted to climb mount everest someday. after she descended manaslu in october 2013, she decided to climb everest after mr. ishizaki, the director of the tv program who also reached the summit of manaslu, said that if she did not, he would climb mount everest without her. some mountaineering professionals opposed the project because it would make people think it was easy to climb, even though she would be employing a lot of professionals as helpers. she practiced hard in order to climb mount everest, but when she reached the mount everest base camp, thirteen sherpas employed by another mountaineering party in nepal died because of a major avalanche on april 18, 2014. her sherpas gave up the climb and imoto abandoned the attempt. in a poll of the audience, about 44.5% wanted her to try again, but about 44.1% answered “no”. nippon tv is considering their options.
