A two-hour special of the variety show "Chidori Kamaitachi Golden Hour" (Nippon Television Network), hosted by the comedy duos "Chidori" and "Kamaitachi," will air on June 17th at 7 PM. This time, as part of the "National Local Announcer Awards," a selection of Nippon Television Network local announcers, from young talents to veterans, will gather in the studio.
Yuto Tanaka, an announcer for Fukui Broadcasting, who played a key role in the Hakone Ekiden as captain of the Aoyama Gakuin University track and field team, conducted an interview with coach Susumu Hara and his wife, Miho. However, he was repeatedly criticized, with comments such as "Your speaking is scripted" and "You'd be better off not talking at all."
From Kochi Broadcasting, an announcer whose posted video has been viewed approximately 28 million times, making her "the most-viewed announcer in the station's history," will appear. Chukyo TV announcer Yoshizawa Haruna, who was raised on high-quality meat, is the daughter of a famous restaurant owner. The deep connection between Matsusaka beef and her family will also be revealed.
In "National Announcer Case Files," the love lives of announcers are brought to light. When the topic of "romance between announcers" comes up, some announcers proudly declare that "another announcer is my type," while others declare that "another announcer is a bit of a no-go."
Other topics include the announcers' attire, local "forbidden words," and an introduction to the announcers' autographs that Shinichi Hatori uses to surprise all the announcers. Finally, the best announcer who livened up the program the most will be decided.
