Akiko Wada’s “Omakase” is reported to be coming to an end, and people in the industry are lamenting the “loneliness” of the show.

On September 9, the Web-based magazine “Josei Jishin” reported that the famous TBS program “Akko ni Omakase! on September 9, 2012, as reported by the Web-based “Josei Jishin” (women’s magazine).

The program started in October 1985. The program started in October 1985 and will celebrate its 40th anniversary this October. The news of its termination was triggered by a comment about Haika Kitaguchi, a women’s javelin thrower who won a gold medal at the Paris Olympics. Wada said

I can’t watch it no matter how many times I watch it. My lacrimal gland is getting weaker. ……

Akiko Wada was a Kitaguchi fan, but ……

Afterwards, when Kitaguchi was shown eating a sponge cake while lying down as part of a good luck charm, Wada said, “Ha-ha-ha.

He was so happy about his accomplishment that he said, “Haha. It looks like a sea lion lying down. It’s so cute.

I described it as “cute.

As expected, the comment on social networking sites was

It’s too rude.

“Isn’t there another way to say that?

Wada was blamed for the outbreak of the firestorm. Wada said on the program aired on November 11

Wada began with a mysterious look on his face and said, “This is a personal matter, but I would like to take a moment of your time.

Wada began the program on the 11th with a mysterious look on his face,

I made an inappropriate comment comparing them to animals. I apologize.

I apologize for the inappropriate comment comparing you to an animal,” he apologized.

There is no doubt that Akko-san loved Kitaguchi-san and supported her more than anyone else. The “Todo” comment was a “figure of speech” because she loved him too much. Akko-san has a smartphone, but she never does ego searches. When she heard from others that she was under fire, she was terribly depressed. The news of the program’s termination may have been due to Akko’s mental problems,” said a TV station official.

Hikaru Ota of the comedy duo “Bakusho Mondai,” who appears on “Sunday Japon,” the former program of “Omakase,” said on his radio program

He said, “I always go to Akko ni Omakase after San Japo to say hello. I always say, ‘I love you, Kitaguchi. When I got burned, I was so sad. ……

I was so sad when I got burned.

The “minami no ako” (a woman gang leader) of Osaka was once known as the “minami no ako,” or “a girl gang leader,” and she had a presence that even in the entertainment industry was outshined by other men. However, his true face is something else entirely. A person who knows Wada says

In the dressing room, the “Akko family

I’m just talking about when I’m sober. ……

He then goes on to say, “He is strict about etiquette and manners.

He is a person who is strict in his manners and etiquette, but at the same time, he is a person who is always there for everyone. It is no wonder that he felt limited as an MC.

For Wada, “Omakase” and the radio show “God Afternoon Akko no Ikaigen ni 1000 times” (Nippon Broadcasting System) are his life’s work. Lunch at the “omakase” site is not a backstage bento, but rather rice that has to be cooked and side dishes prepared. Although costly, it is reputed to enhance team cohesion as each member eats in a friendly atmosphere.

When Wada leaves the station, the entire staff sees him off.

We have to wave at him until we can no longer see his car. Some may say, “This is out of step with the current era,” but it is a tradition that has continued for decades. No one dislikes it. Well, there used to be other programs like this, but now it is just Akko-san. It is sad to see the vestiges of the “good old days” when the TV world was booming disappear,” said a TV station official.

At this point, the end of “Omakase” has not been decided, and it is unlikely that TBS will request the end of the program to those who have contributed so much to the program over the past 40 years. What kind of end will this program bring?
