Chiaki Horan, who graduated from her role as news anchor for the news program "N-Sta" on March 27th, made a surprise appearance on the program the following day, the 28th, surprising the other cast members.
Horan appeared on the show for eight years, starting with her first appearance in April 2017. She graduated from the show on March 27th, and spoke in tears.
When the screen changed to the weather segment just after 4:30pm, Horan appeared in full view among the packed audience. While announcer Maoko Hibi and others in the studio were surprised, Horan was called onto the screen by Shimazaki Wakako, who made a guest appearance to promote the "All-Star Thanksgiving" broadcast on the 29th, but as she was not wearing a microphone, she made her comments by speaking into announcer Kobayashi Yumiko's lapel microphone. Holding a board with "N-Sta Forever" written in large letters in her hand, she smiled when Shimazaki teased her, saying, "Aren't you aiming to be the MC for the Thanksgiving?"
