It is a late afternoon in September. Walking along a main street in central Tokyo is Reimi Tsutsumi, 28, an announcer at Fuji Television Network. She was probably on her way home from Mezamashi 8, carrying a large eco-bag and listening to music with her smartphone in one hand.

Tsutsumi, who was a reader model for &#8220;non-no&#8221; magazine when she was a student, is well-known for her beauty, but her photobook to be released in October has gained a lot of attention.
 It is said to be a stepping stone for Tsutsumi to become a freelance photographer.
(Sports paper reporter) As she approaches the age of 30, which is said to be the &#8220;appropriate age&#8221; to become a freelancer, it is not surprising that those around her are in an uproar, but female TV announcer critic Daijiro Maruyama has the following view.
&#8220;Her sharp, orthodox looks are exactly to St. Force&#8217;s liking. I&#8217;m sure she will attract a lot of interest from other companies. However, I think that the photo book is a strategic move by the station to keep her from quitting. If Yumi Nagashima and others take maternity leave, there is a good chance that Tsutsumi will be chosen as their replacement.&#8221;
On the other hand, there are many people who are looking forward to her becoming a freelancer.
 She has been surprisingly highly praised for her stable announcing skills on &#8220;Mezamashi 8&#8221; and &#8220;Minna no KEIBA.&#8221; I would like to see her not only as a female announcer, but also as a model and actress. In terms of evaluation, she is sure to surpass Akiko Kuji, who went freelance a step ahead of her, and perhaps even reach the level of Ayako Kato.
Will the time come when she becomes a freelancer and shows even more brilliance?
