Fuji’s Chihiro Sugihara, whose reputation as a “stand-in” for Nikkan Sports has skyrocketed, is now a popular announcer.

Fuji Television’s Chihiro Sugihara, 28, continues to appear in more and more programs.

On November 13, she appeared on “Nonstop! On November 30, it was announced that Yumi Nagashima (30), an announcer on “Watashi no Baka Semai Shi” would be leaving the program due to maternity leave, and that she would be filling in from December.

Speaking of Sugihara, she appeared in the November 4 broadcast of “Celebrities Really Thought About It! (Surprise GP)” on November 4, she showed up in a costume of a female comedian, Aashi Shiraki (47), which caused a controversy, saying, “Isn’t that power harassment?

When the staff urged him to leave the show, he even gagged and said, “I want to do my best,” as if he had to choose between announcing his weight or cosplaying as Shiraki.

When the staff urged him to keep it, he even made a gag, saying, “I want to do my best. Even within the station, Sugihara’s mentality is regarded with admiration in a peculiar way,” said a Fuji TV insider.

When Sugihara made her debut as a female TV announcer, she was highly anticipated because she graduated from the National College of Music, the same school as Ayako Kato (38), aka “Katopan.

She was nicknamed “Super Ayako” because of her innocent image and the expectation that she would be able to do what Katopan did. After joining the company, she later revealed that she felt she was out of place because she was surrounded by people who had graduated from top universities. However, as you can see, the result is as follows. Sugihara, of course, had high expectations.

Naturally, much was expected of Sugihara. But in reality, she is quite a natural character and is not familiar with the trends of the world. …… At first, she was troubled by this, but it seems that she was able to rethink her approach and say, “I’m going to work hard on variety shows.

Sugihara has no shortage of “interesting episodes.

When she appeared on a quiz show, she gave a series of unusual answers to a general knowledge quiz. One of the senior announcers even voiced his concern, saying, “Is it okay for us to broadcast this? After being told on TV that he did not pick up newspapers (for home delivery), Sugihara reported with a smile, “I have started picking up newspapers. It has become a “legend” that Sugihara reported with a smile, “I’ve started taking the newspaper, Nikkan Sports.

According to a Fuji Television broadcaster, Sugihara is very popular even among veteran comedians.

According to a broadcaster who works exclusively for Fuji Television, Sugihara is very popular with veteran comedians. “Her name is being mentioned more and more in planning meetings as the type who can do anything, with the same spontaneous energy as the young Yuki Yamazaki (36). Takashi, who used to work with her on “Ishibashi Takaaki’s Taimu Tonneru” (which ended in March 2008), also seemed to be a “big fan” of Sugihara. This is the same line as that of Yamazaki and, in the past, of Maasa Takahashi (42).

At the “Wide Nation Show,” MC Koji Higashino and commentators Koji Imada and Hiromi seem to like Sugihara more than the rotating panelists Kyoko Sasaki (50) and Keiko Tsubakihara (38), as she is easier to pick up on their points. For the big-name comedians, she seems to remind them of the mainstream Fuji Television announcers of the good old days, when they played to their characters and made many “natural” comments.

Under President Koichi Minato’s leadership, she may be the most suitable female announcer for Fuji Television, which is advocating the “restoration of variety.
