Haruna Kondo of “Harisenbon”…Regular on a local station from April…Some say she has “dropped out of the city”, but she is “starting to get a chance”.

On April 9, a new regular program “Jimochannel,” in which the two members of “Harisenbon” serve as MCs, began airing.

This program, the first local program by TNC TV Nishinippon, a Fuji Television affiliate in Fukuoka, to appear in prime time in 15 years, is said to be much talked about in the local community.

The program “introduces local specialties in Fukuoka Prefecture and unravels local wonders and various questions about the area through location shooting. The show has been widely covered on the Internet news because Michiko Kichise, who is from Fukuoka Prefecture, is also the MC.

Speaking of Haruna Kondo, she and Koji Kato, who was the MC of the morning information program “Sukkiri” (Nippon Television Network Corporation), where she was a sub-MC, accused Yoshimoto Kogyo of having a “dark business problem. As a result, Yoshimoto terminated their management contracts and placed them under agent contracts. Later, both of them were terminated from their agent contracts.’ Sukkiri,” which ran for 17 years until March 2011, was also terminated.

They denied it, but Yoshimoto’s anger was considerable. Everyone thought that there would be no blame attached to the show.

As a result, after “Sukkiri” ended, Haruna made guest appearances on variety shows, but only two regular programs, the NHK talk show “Dosta” and “Ningen Observation Variety Monitoring” (TBS). It was a sad state of affairs, since she was the number one female in the ranking of the number of appearances on TV programs in 20 years. …… It seems that she has finally found a regular role here. However, like Kichise, she has not been the talk of the town, and some on SNS have commented that she has ‘finally fallen out of the capital’ in light of Kondo’s former success. That said, there is no reason to be pessimistic.

As far as I could tell from the first broadcast, the two members of Harisenbon were as witty and funny as ever,” he said. They were as sharp as ever, and I don’t think there is anything to be disappointed about just because it is a local program.
