Miyu Kuroda, the next ace MC of Nippon TV’s “DayDay.” “Hot love photo” with a handsome director
In the middle of Golden Week, NTV announcer Miyu Kuroda, 24, was enjoying a bowl of pasta alone at a restaurant chain in Ginza, Tokyo, after finishing a live broadcast of “DayDay.
After finishing her meal with a blank expression on her face, a man wearing a Prada cap rushed up to her as she was leaving the restaurant. Upon spotting the man, Anna Kuroda flashed a cute, bubbly smile that was a complete turnaround from her previous appearance.
With the end of the 17-year-long flagship program “Sukkiri! which lasted for 17 years, started in April this year. Kuroda, who has been with the company for three years, was selected as the main MC along with Ryota Yamasato (46) of “Nankai Candies” and Shinichi Takeda (55), a former NHK announcer.
Who was the man who made the ace candidate, who must have been tired from the morning live broadcast, smile in an instant?
He is Mr. A, a director who joined the company in the same year as Kuroda. He is currently in charge of the daytime information program “Hirunandes! Mr. A is from Osaka, a graduate of Kyoto University, good-looking like Taiga Nakano, and a funny guy who used to belong to a comedy club. Although he has only been with the company for three years, he is a young director with high expectations from within the company.
After meeting up, the two men chatted and laughed as they walked to a nearby café. While waiting at a traffic light, Mr. A touched Kuroda’s bangs and patted her head as she peered at her phone. Then she looked up and smiled at him. Kuroda grabbed Mr. A’s arm as if to support him, and the atmosphere was very good.
One is a popular announcer, the other a young director at a TV station. They must have taken time out from their busy work schedules to go on a date. They talked for about an hour at a café and then broke up.
At a social gathering when they were both still university students, Mr. A fell in love with Kuroda at first sight. They were both in university in the Kansai region, so they had been together for some time before joining the company. They both went to university in the Kansai region, so I think they must have met over there before joining the company. They introduced each other to their friends, and for a while they almost lived together in Mr. A’s apartment in Tokyo.
Three days after their Ginza date, this magazine caught the two enjoying lunch at a Korean restaurant in Yurakucho. In order to confirm the dating rumor, we directly interviewed Anna Kuroda as she hurried home later that day. She seemed calm and composed, not changing her expression when we asked her questions, but she replied, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. May I please go through the public relations department?” He ran off at a high speed in the rain.
When we later interviewed NTV, the response was, “We do not answer questions about the private lives of our employees.
Kuroda, who is expected both inside and outside the company to be the “post-Mizuto-chan,” had her first romance with a handsome director who is her classmate. I wish them both the best of luck in their future!
The June 2 issue of FRIDAY, on sale May 19, reports in detail on their date and the direct interview. The pay-per-view website “FRIDAY GOLD” also published several photos.
