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.

According to a person involved in the program

“Various media people have asked, ‘Kanda-san, are you all right? Are you sick? But we, the staff, are not informed of the details of the situation. The information is shared only by the upper management of the station, and it is as if a strict gag order is in place.

Kanda revealed, “When he takes a break from a program, he says, ‘I’ll be back again.

When Kanda took a leave of absence from the program, he said, “I’ll be back again,” and the staff believes him.

Kanda’s daughter, Sayaka Kanda, did not return home in December 2009.

It is easy to imagine that he was exhausted both physically and mentally as a father. However, it is too early to link Sayaka’s death to the “severe weight loss. According to a person involved in the program, “Ms. Kanda was weak in front of us.

According to a person involved in the program, “Ms. Kanda never expressed her feelings of weakness in front of us. I think she made it a rule not to bring her private feelings into the program.

The timing of Kanda’s return has not been determined at this time.

At this point, the timing of Kanda’s return is undecided. She was admitted to a hospital for tests after being persuaded by those around her, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, the date of her release has been extended. Since the future of the program is still in flux, the program’s treatment is also beginning to become a topic of conversation.

If Kanda-san’s condition is not good, will he be replaced by another MC? Or will the entire program be renewed based on its 26-year history? The station is considering various options, but since Kanda himself has said that he will return, we have no choice but to wait for him to get well and come back.

Kanda has been known for his athleticism since his days at Ishihara Promotion, which dissolved in 2009. His hobbies include golf and skiing. In recent years, he has been taking good care of his health.

He has never been a “maverick drinker or playaholic. After Sayaka’s death, he usually went straight home after recording.

The Internet is rife with theories that he is seriously ill, but we trust his word that he will return, and look forward to the day when he will be able to return.
