Behind Masateru Kanda’s strong determination to return is a thorough “gag order” within the station due to his absence from “Tabisaladara” for four weeks in a row.

Actor Masateru Kanda has been inundated with concerns about his health.

On December 9, he appeared as the MC of “Morning! Ikudesu Tabi Salad” (TV Asahi), for which he serves as the MC, on December 9. This marked the fourth consecutive week that Kanda was absent from the program.

The previous week, on the second day of the program, Nao Matsushita said at the beginning of the program

Kanda-san is currently undergoing physical maintenance and will be taking some time off.

Kanda-san is currently undergoing physical maintenance and will be taking some time off,” commented Nao Matsushita. Co-host Shuwa Katsumata said

I see. Pinko Izumi contacted me and told me to tell Nao to hang in there.

Kanda was the previous TV personality.

Kanda succeeded his predecessor, TV personality Hitoshi Kusano, and became MC in April 1997. Since then, Kanda has continued to MC this long-running program for 26 years, and for Kanda, it has been his life’s work.

Kanda wanted to do this kind of informative variety show rather than dramas or movies,” said Kanda. He felt that going on location and interacting with people wherever he went suited him. It was Kanda-san’s only regular program, and for that reason he was very attached to it.

However, this year, Kanda began to notice something unusual. Since the beginning of spring, Kanda’s cheeks have become flushed, her gray hair and wrinkles have become more noticeable, and she appears to have lost at least 10 kilograms.

In an interview with some media, she explained that she has been using “fasting,” a diet and detoxification program in which she abstains from food for a certain period of time, since a year and a half ago.

She laughed it off, saying, “I’m not sick or anything like that (laughs).”
