Fuji TV will start a new program called "Lady Go" (aired once a month on Thursdays at midnight) from 12:25 a.m. on November 14. The station's announcer Suzuki Yui will act as MC, and announcer Kamigaki Kotaro, who joined the company this year, will act as host. After the first recording, the two talked about the highlights and their enthusiasm.
The theme of the program is "A world where speaking honestly about women's bodies, health, and life's difficulties becomes fashionable!" and the content is to update knowledge about the mind and body. The first episode will feature guest Umemiya Anna, a celebrity who announced she had breast cancer in August and is currently battling the disease, and will be broadcast under the title "We're in an era where one in nine people will get it... Update on Breast Cancer."
After the recording, announcer Suzuki commented, "I'm 30 now, at the age where I start to be interested in topics about women's bodies. I hope that this will be an opportunity to change not only my awareness, but the awareness of everyone around me as well."
She also talked about the highlights of the show, saying, "It's a topic that's close to any woman, but it can be a little difficult to discuss with other women of the same sex, and even more so with other men. I think this show will break down those barriers and remove the feeling that it's hard to say."
Uegaki commented, "Because I'm a man and only 23 years old, I thought breast cancer was something far removed from me, but even young men can get breast cancer, and it could happen to someone close to me. I hope that through Umemiya's words, viewers can get a sense of the world she lives in."
She also expressed her enthusiasm for the show, saying, "I'll make an effort to respond to my honest questions and reactions in the studio, while keeping in mind that the show will proceed smoothly."
