Nippon Broadcasting System held a press conference on March Getsuku to announce the lineup for "All Night Nippon" for 2026. The lineup for April 1st was announced, revealing that new personalities will include Ichiro Yamaguchi of the rock band Sakanaction and Yoko Shogenji of the idol group Hinatazaka46.
Masamoto Tsukasa, who is the host of "Hinatazaka46's Masamoto Tsukasa Yoko's All Night Nippon X (Cross)," which airs from midnight on Thursdays, said that she "discovered the joy of radio" when she took on the role of weekly personality on "Hinatazaka46's Masamoto Tsukasa Yoko's All Night Nippon 0 (Zero)" in August last year. She expressed her enthusiasm, saying, "I hope to be able to convey what I normally think in a way that only radio can."
Regarding All Night Nippon, she confessed, "Everyone here now really brings out their own individual colors in their respective programs, so I'm a little worried about whether I'll be able to bring out the same colors," but added with a smile, "I'm truly honored to be involved with All Night Nippon, so I hope I can make it a radio show that connects with listeners."
When asked what she would like to do, she began by saying, "It would be something unprecedented." She added, "I would like to bring my family and friends and have them reveal all sorts of things about me. I would like to do an incredible episode where the people around me help me break out of the shell that I can't break."
Yamaguchi will be in charge of "All Night Nippon" at 1 a.m. on Tuesdays. In addition, former Hinatazaka46 member Konoka Matsuda, who was in charge of "All Night Nippon X" at midnight on Thursdays, will be in charge of "All Night Nippon 0 (ZERO)" at 3 a.m. on Tuesdays.
