Aya Takashima is the number one rated female announcer by alumni, but… Let’s decide who is the best female announcer of all time at Fuji Television Network!
Since the 1980s, Fuji Television has created numerous stars and idols and built up a kingdom that has dominated the TV industry.

Fuji Television produced many popular announcers and was called the “female announcer empire. Fuji’s female announcers supported the golden age of television as talented women, and sometimes caused a stir with their love affairs with famous athletes, popular actors, and celebrity businessmen.
Who are the most prominent female announcers at Fuji Television? After conducting in-depth interviews with Fuji Television staff, alumni, and experts, we have decided on the most powerful female announcer of all time at Fuji Television.
Aya Takashima (45) is the one that Fuji TV staff and alumni think the most highly of,” says a broadcaster, Yamamoto.
The one that Fuji TV staff and alumni most highly value is Aya Takashima (45),” said Mihoko Yamada, a broadcaster and writer. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Mezamashi TV, and I think that Aya Takashima is the best of all the previous Mezamashi TV announcers,” Yamada continued.
At Fuji, it is not only the announcing ability that counts, but also the ability to act funny in a variety show. For example, Akiko Yagi (58) can do both, and Minako Nakano (44) has a ditzy side that makes variety shows more exciting. In this respect, Takashima Anna is not the type to actively do interesting things. However, she is outstanding at directing the program. He has a high level of skill that allows him to always perform perfectly, whether it is a live broadcast or a taping. I think she is one of the best announcers in the world.”
While Takashima, who is now freelance, is highly praised, Yagi, who is one year older than Takashima, also receives high praise.
While Satsuki Ariga (deceased) and Keiko Kono (59) were known as the “three flower girls,” Yagi was a plain and unassuming figure, hidden behind the two others.
However, her simplicity became a weapon in “Akashiya Santa. She was able to talk to and make fun of Akashiya Sanma (68). Her friendliness was conveyed through the light-hearted way she talked with Mr. Sanma, and she was eventually selected as the first main anchor of “Mezamashi TV”. She was a pioneer in shaping the image of Fuji’s ace female announcer of today,” said Daijiro Maruyama, a female announcer critic.
Former Fuji Television announcer Yutaka Hasegawa also praised Yagi’s professionalism.
Yagi is different from other young female announcers who often take a break when they enter a commercial break. Yagi is different. Even when the cameras are not rolling, she gives a 100-point performance. She always carries the weight of a professional.
Hasegawa’s evaluation of Satoshi Kondo, 55, as “the top announcer in Fuji Television’s history,” is apt.
In addition to her stable reading of scripts, she has an overwhelmingly glamorous atmosphere. Her hair is now silver, and I feel that it is the work of Kondo’s dignity that has made silver hair a trend. Her voice is not unpleasant to listen to for long periods of time, and she has a great sense of style in the way she chooses her words.
