The youngest runner in the history of the "Zenryokuzaka" program appears

"Zenryokuzaka" (Monday to Thursday at 1:20 am) is a late-night mini-program on TV Asahi that shows guests running at full speed up the many hills in Tokyo, accompanied by narration by actor Mitsuru Fukikoshi . On June 18th and 19th, the runner will be child actor Tasuku Sato , who is currently appearing in the drama " Musashino Rondo " (Saturday at 11 pm) currently being broadcast on the same network. Tasuku, who is currently 6 years old, will be the youngest runner in the history of the program, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year.

On the 18th broadcast, they will run up the "Ghost Hill" that runs from the south rear of Yorakuji Temple in Tabata 1-chome, Kita-ku, Tokyo up the cliff. On the 19th broadcast, they will go to the "Upper Hill" that runs from the high ground of Tabata down to the cliff. At the top of the hill is the former home of the writer Akutagawa Ryunosuke, and it is a hill with a long history that is also the background to him composing a waka poem about his residence at the top of the hill. Ozora, who started elementary school this spring, will run up the hill with all his might.

Ozora commented, "When I was asked to appear in 'Zenryokuzaka,' I was nervous about what kind of hill I'd have to run up, but I love running, so I'm looking forward to it! It was a little tough when I actually tried running, but I was happy that I was able to make it to the top!" He also didn't forget to promote the drama, saying, "I ran as hard as I could, so I'd be happy if you could also watch ' Musashino Rondo,' which I'm currently working hard on!"
