Maho Kuwako and Mayuko Wakuda, NHK’s “two-top” Female Announcers, Omitted as Hostesses for the 74th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen
Why are the names of these two aces missing this year after six years of being on the list?

The two announcers are Wakuda, the “morning face” of NHK’s “Ohayo Nippon” at the time, and Kuwako, the “evening face” of “News Watch 9”. They visited the apartment of senior announcer Nahoko Suzuki (September 2019).
