Hideyuki Nakayama is highly reevaluated not only as an MC but also as a TV personality

On January 16, Yuichi Nakamaru of “KAT-TUN” announced on his official website that he had married Rina Sasazaki, a former NTV announcer. The person who was more delighted than anyone else at this announcement was Hideyuki Nakayama.

I’m so happy, I’m really happy. I look forward to the two of them nurturing their love and becoming a wonderful couple.

Nakayama made the comment through his agency. He sent his words to the couple, who made the goal after co-hosting “Shuichi” (Nippon Television Network Corporation), for which he serves as MC. Nakayama’s stock is said to be exploding.

Speaking of Nakayama, he has been the MC of many Nippon TV programs, including “DAISUKI!” with Akiko Matsumoto and Naoko Iijima, “TV Ojamanbo,” a promotional program that aired when Nippon TV’s ratings were soaring, as well as “THE Yoru mo Hippare” and “Omoikkiri DON!

Hide-san (Nakayama’s nickname) had an old-fashioned “the industry man” attitude. He often held launches and was skilled at organizing the performers and staff. During the show, when he found a newcomer or an inconspicuous performer, he would give them a nickname or make a funny comment, and he loved to “meddle in the fun. In this way, he tried to make me fit in with the program.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that Hide brought the two together, but I can say that his efforts to create an at-home atmosphere had a positive effect. I wouldn’t go so far as to say that he brought the two together, but I’m sure that his at-home atmosphere had a positive effect.

Speaking of Sasazaki, in May 2002, NTV rescinded its offer to him because of his part-time job experience at a club in Ginza, Tokyo. In November 2002, he filed a lawsuit against NTV in the Tokyo District Court, seeking confirmation of his status under the labor contract. In January 2003, the Tokyo District Court recommended a settlement, and both parties reached a settlement, and he was able to join NTV in April 2003.
