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.
Ayaka Hironaka is the most promising “post-Ayaka Hironaka
TV Asahi has announced that Ayaka Hironaka has taken maternity leave. In such a pinch, Shinsuka Suzuki, 23, is expected to take over from the ace announcer.
She has been a sub-MC of “Music Station” since October 2010, and is said to be the “post-Ayaka Hironaka” within the station. However, “Music Station” appointed Marina Namiki, 27, as Hironaka’s successor, but she did not break out much. For that reason, the station wants to carefully nurture Suzuki as a person who can carry TV Asahi on his back.
Minami Moriyama, 25, who has appeared on the “Hatori Shinichi Morning Show” since April 2010, is becoming the face of the morning show.
Moriyama is loved by her “Morning Show” co-hosts Toru Tamagawa (60) and Kazushige Nagashima (57), who have nicknamed her “the beast of prey” within the station. Moriyama acts as a cushion for these two assertive men, which keeps the show running smoothly. As long as the ratings for the “Morning Show” are the best in the same slot and Shinichi Hatori (52) likes her, her future is bright.
It is not only in news and variety programs that young TV announcers shine. In some cases, such as Risaki Yamamoto, 24, a sports analyst at NTV, she has made her presence felt on sports programs.
Yamamoto, who was born into a sports family, has been in charge of Saturdays on “Going! Yamamoto is a strong athlete who played handball in junior high and high school, and she has a good reputation among big-name athletes such as Shinnosuke Abe, 44, the new manager of the Giants. The station’s upper management is planning to make her the future Shohei Otani,” said a source close to NTV.
While there are newcomers who specialize in sports, which is one of their strengths, Miyu Kuroda, 25, is taking the high road as the “post-Mizuto Mami.
I was surprised when she became the main MC of “DayDay. Originally, Erina Iwata (28) was considered the most likely ace candidate to succeed Mizuto-announcer. However, Kuroda’s stock soared after she was selected and played an active role in the program. She is both serious and charming, and she has guts. She is also not afraid of the dialogue with her co-star Ryota Yamasato (46) on “DayDay. When Mizuto retires from the front lines, there is no doubt that she will fill the vacancy.
While Ayako Nomura, 26, who was considered a candidate for the next ace announcer position, has been struggling, Mako Tamura, 27, is continuing to struggle to become the face of the morning show.
She is, after all, a big fan of “Lovin’ it! She is still struggling to become the face of the morning show,” says Mako Tamura, 27. She is able to go head-to-head with eminent comedians, including Akira Kawashima of Kirin (44), without being overpowered. The fact that the MC, Anna Tamura, is the talk of the town on a show with so many comedians is a testament to her ability. In the not-too-distant future, she will become the ace of TBS.
Minami Moriyama (25) TV Asahi [graduate of Hosei University] Shinichi Hatori Morning Show] In 2002, she became the image girl of Kumamoto Asahi Broadcasting, a TV Asahi affiliate, for high school baseball. About 10 years later, she is now expected to become TV Asahi’s next ace announcer as a “fierce beast.
