It has been announced that new announcers Nagao Tsubasa and Nakatani Kouki, who joined TBS this spring, and Saito Mia, a student at Keio University who is affiliated with Cent Force, will be joining the TBS morning information program "THE TIME," (Monday to Friday, 5:20 a.m.) from May.
All three will appear on "THE TIME'" (The Time Dash), which airs from 4:30 a.m. Nagao and Nakatani will alternate between Thursdays and Fridays, while Saito will be in charge every Friday.
◇Comment from Tsubasa Nagao, announcer
I have always watched morning information programs since I was a child, no matter how hectic the times. For me, they always give me a push at the start of the day. In my university days, I cheered on the athletes as a member of the cheerleading club, but from now on, as a TBS announcer, I will deliver cheerful information and encouragement to viewers to start their day off right!
◇Comment from announcer Tsunemoto Nakatani
It's been eight years since I wrote "I want to be an announcer!" in my junior high school graduation essay. I am so grateful to all the people who have supported me and made it possible for me to stand on this starting line. I think that all I can do as an inexperienced person like me is to be sincere. I will put my heart and soul into each word so that everyone can start their mornings with a calm and positive attitude!
◇Comment from Misa Saito
I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be involved in this favorite program that I have been watching since it first began airing. From now on, as a member of "THE TIME," I will do my best to bring energy to everyone and help them have a wonderful day. I look forward to your continued support!
