Yumiko Arido’s “interesting new job” after graduating from NTV’s “news zerо”.

The future of freelance announcer Yumiko Arido is attracting attention.

On December 14, NTV announced that Yudo will graduate from the station’s news program “news zero” at the end of March next year.

Arido has been the main anchor of the program since October 2006. Commenting on her graduation, she said

What particularly impresses me is my coverage in Ukraine, a war zone. I heard the true feelings of citizens who were struggling with the question of whether they should be prepared to die for their country’s justice or whether they should live their one and only life for themselves. War, once it starts, or rather, once it begins to head toward war, becomes very difficult to stop. I was deeply impressed by the importance of news reporting during peacetime,” he recalled.

He recalled, “I was deeply impressed by the importance of news reporting during peacetime. He then added

I am now 54 years old! I thought it was now or never for me to take on a new challenge, so I began consulting with the company a year and a half ago, and after listening to my wishes, ‘news zero’ has agreed to send me on my new assignment.

The same night on the same program, he was asked to show his face.

On the same night, she appeared on the program with a bandage on the left side of her face. Arifumi said

I stepped off the stairs and hit my face. Please be careful during the year-end party season.

He then spoke. It appears that he was drunk and fell down.

He has been a drinker since his days at NHK, and has even taken a tumble and injured himself. He enjoys drinking, but when he gets drunk, he is a complete old man.

said a colleague from his NHK days.

Arifumi gave a detailed account of his drunken fall on the Nippon Broadcasting System’s “Udo no Rajio” broadcast on March 15. He said he returned home that day despite the hard blow to his face.

After about 15 hours, I felt sick, my head started hurting, and I thought something was wrong. My teeth were knocked out…”

I thought something was wrong. He went to the hospital and underwent an MRI scan and a brain scan. Fortunately, it was not serious, but the doctor told him to refrain from excessive drinking.

There is no shortage of topics for Arifumi to talk about, but what will she do after graduating from “news zero”?

Since she is still single, there are rumors on the Internet that she will “concentrate on her marriage life,” but a person involved in the TV industry said, “She is making a joke out of it, but I don’t know if she is going to stay there.

However, a TV insider said, “She is making fun of it, but there is no sign that she is seriously thinking about marriage.

However, a TV insider said, “She makes fun of it, but there is no indication that she is seriously thinking about it.

Speaking of Udo, he is also known as an enthusiastic fan of the Hanshin Tigers, which won the Japanese championship this year for the first time in 38 years. In the radio program mentioned above, she talked about the Hanshin Tigers at every opportunity. One Tigers fan commented.

“Will he accompany the team as a private cheering squad?

However, this is not a realistic expectation.

A source who knows Arifumi pointed out that “a hint is hidden” in a comment on “news zero. He said that a career as a freelance journalist is a strong possibility.

As she took the trouble to mention in her comment at the time of graduation, it seems that her coverage of Ukraine became a turning point in her life. He threw himself into a world that was completely different from peaceful Japan and asked himself what he could do. It seems he would like to do overseas reporting as a freelancer.”

As a newscaster, Arifumi made it his motto to visit the scene of the crime himself. She also attended a press conference held at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan by the Association of Parties to the Sexual Assault Issue of Johnny’s, where she ran through her notes with a serious gaze.

Next year, Ms. Arifumi will turn 55 years old. In general companies, this is the retirement age for positions. He must have thought about his career plan at that time. She is a serious person at heart.

It will be interesting to see what kind of activities Ariyuki will perform in her new field.
