Announcer: Yoshida Hisaki：Nippon Broadcasting System announcer accepted into Tokyo University Graduate School

It has been revealed that Nippon Broadcasting System announcer Yoshida Hisanori has been accepted into the University of Tokyo Graduate School. From April 2025, he will attend campus as a graduate student in the Social Informatics course at the Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Information Studies, while continuing his work at Nippon Broadcasting System.

In this course, he will carry out interdisciplinary analysis of social and cultural phenomena related to media and communication, and issues in the information society from the perspective of social information. He will pursue research with the aim of receiving a Master's degree in Social Informatics in the laboratory of Associate Professor Kainuma Hiroshi, who specializes in field research and contemporary social theory. Yanase Kazuki, the promotional producer for the anime "Dropkick on My Devil!", also belongs to the same laboratory.

Yoshida commented, "I've been working for almost 25 years, and during that time I've had many valuable experiences. While I've seen things about the world, I also feel like I have more questions. This may be what people call 'relearning' or 'reskilling' these days, but I'd like to study and research Momoiro Clover Z and their fans, the Mononofu, at the University of Tokyo Graduate School, about 'oshikatsu' and 'well-being,' which I've experienced more in-depth than others. As a speaker, I want to gain knowledge and experience that will be beneficial to listeners!"

Yoshida was born in Tokyo in 1975. After graduating from Keio University, he joined Nippon Broadcasting System in 1999. He is known as a popular announcer at the station, having won the DJ Personality Award at the 49th Galaxy Awards in 2012. Well-versed in manga, anime, idols and digital media, she is an active figure who goes beyond the roles of a radio presenter or announcer, hosting over 100 events a year and serving as the initiator and executive committee member of the Manga Taisho Awards, which began in 2008.

She has published 13 books, including some she has co-authored, in a wide range of genres, including communication, media theory, Adlerian psychology, flow theory and well-being. Her book "Why does talking to this person make me feel better?" (Ohta Publishing) became a bestseller, selling over 135,000 copies in Japan and 30,000 copies in Thailand.
