A major study of the TV industry: In-depth coverage of the abilities, reputations, and future prospects of the young aces of commercial TV stations.
Aoi Harada (23), Fuji Television Network [Hosei University graduate] Mezamashi TV] A national idol made a surprising turn last July when she participated in a major Fuji Television summer event, “Odaiba Adventure King. She is said to have a high level of understanding in meetings, and the staff trusts her because she is quick to respond to their requests when they are called out.
When FRIDAY interviewed people at various TV stations to find out which female announcers have the potential to become stars in the world of television this year, 10 young announcers emerged. All of them have the potential to become absolute aces like NTV’s Mami Mizuto (36) and TV Asahi’s Ayaka Hironaka (32). Let us introduce them all at once.
Aoi Harada, 23, is the most popular newcomer at Fuji Television, which used to be called “the kingdom of female TV announcers. She graduated from “Sakurazaka 46” in 2010 and joined Fuji the following spring.
Harada was one of the centerpieces of the ’24 Fuji TV announcer calendar and became a Thursday regular on “Poka Poka” last October. These are both positions for which announcers promoted by the station are selected. She will probably become the daytime MC of “Mezamashi TV” when the program is reorganized in April, and she will make even greater strides,” said a TV insider.
While Harada’s idolism has earned her a high degree of popularity, Eriko Komuro, 24, is gaining recognition at the station for her stability, which is hard to believe for someone in her third year.
Eriko Komuro is a head and shoulders above her peers Beni Takemata (25) and Reina Osanai (27). She was selected as the main anchor of “Mezamashi 8” in April last year. At first, it was feared that she would be too heavy a load to replace Yumi Nagashima (32), the main anchor, but she has been well received by viewers for the gap between her skillful progress and her natural personality. In “Poka Poka,” she and the two members of Haliichi are able to communicate with each other in perfect harmony. In the future, she will probably host more variety shows as well as information programs. She is the leading candidate to become the next ace.
