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

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.

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.
