<p> On that night, Yudo graduated from &#8220;news zero&#8221; (NTV), where she had been the main anchor for about five and a half years. Why did she leave at this time?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> It seems that there was a strong desire on her part. It seems that she has a sense of mission to go to the field and work as a journalist in response to the wars in Ukraine and Gaza and the worsening environmental problems. However, it is difficult to balance a band program and on-the-ground reporting. In order to have more time to spend on what she wants to do, she probably graduated in March, when she turned 55,&#8221; said a source from Nippon TV.</span></p>

<p>On the other hand, Anna Arido has been selected as the MC of a new music program, &#8220;With MUSIC&#8221; (Nippon TV), which will start on April 13.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Nippon TV must have turned to Ms. Arifo, who has hosted &#8220;NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen&#8221; a total of seven times, partly because they felt the program could not fail.

There is no one better suited for the job than Ms. Udo.</span></p>
<p> The new challenge for Ms. Udo has just begun.</p>
