Actor Kanna Hashimoto attended the company's induction ceremony held at TV Asahi's headquarters (Minato Ward, Tokyo) on April 1st. She was dressed in the costume she plays in the drama "Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective" (Tuesdays 9pm), which starts on the 22nd on the same network, and each of the 29 new employees had their employee ID card hung around their neck.
Hashimoto said, "I was really nervous today, and I was wondering what to say," but she also sent words of encouragement, saying, "I can't say anything cool, but I dream of working with you all, and I want to do my best, and I want to support each and every one of you!"
A commemorative photo was also taken with all the new employees, and sitting on either side of Hashimoto were Urabayashi Rin, Sasaki Wakaba, Miyamoto Yumira, and Fujita Yamato, who were all hired in the announcer department.
