<p> At the beginning of September, it was reported that &#8220;Akko ni Omakase! (TBS) was reported to have &#8220;ended&#8221; at the beginning of September.</p>
<p> The report said that &#8220;Holipro, to which Wada belongs, and TBS are making arrangements to terminate the program at the end of March next spring,&#8221; according to a report in the online edition of &#8220;Josei Jishin&#8221; (Women&#8217;s Journal of Japan). The Web version of &#8220;Josei Jishin&#8221; (Women&#8217;s Affairs) reported that &#8220;Wada&#8217;s company, Horipro, and TBS are making arrangements to terminate the program in March.</p>

<h2> TV Stars Suffering a Heavy Blow</h2>
<p> In the past, there have been whispers of the program&#8217;s termination whenever Wada has had a tongue-twister incident, but considering her age (74), <span class="strongInContent">&#8220;It is true that live broadcasting is tough from both a physical and compliance standpoint, and in</span> many ways she has reached <span class="strongInContent">her</span> limits <span class="strongInContent">. In many ways, she has reached her limits. It may be that the time has come for her to leave,&#8221;</span> said a director of a key station.</p>
<p> The long-running program has been the &#8220;face of Sunday noon on TBS&#8221; for 40 years, and TV people had a variety of thoughts about the &#8220;end&#8221; of the program, such as &#8220;One era has ended&#8221; and &#8220;It would be better to record the program. However, there are those who greeted the news with horror. However, there were those who greeted the news with horror. &#8220;It <span class="strongInContent">&#8216;s the so-called &#8216;Akko family,'&#8221;</span> said a senior entertainment industry executive.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Akko family&#8221; is the general term for the celebrities that Mr. Wada is keeping an eye on. Drinking parties are held regularly. It is said that if they are well-liked, they will be offered TV work at the behest of Mr. Wada. It is said that the loss of &#8220;Omakase,&#8221; one of the major TV shows, will be painful. It will be a big blow especially for the talents at Horipro, to which Mr. Wada belongs. They had been used as regulars and assistants for many years.</span></p>

<p> Although host Ryuta Mine (72), Tetsuro Izukawa (60), Shuwa Katsumata (59), and Canning Takeyama (53), who appear regularly on the show, do not seem to be hindered in their entertainment activities without Wada&#8217;s push, &#8230;&#8230; <span class="strongInContent">&#8220;Wada&#8217;s absence is significant,&#8221;</span> a writer on the airwaves points out. However, &#8220;Wada&#8217;s absence is significant,&#8221; a broadcaster points out.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> However, a broadcaster pointed out that &#8220;Wada&#8217;s absence is a big deal. If &#8216;Omakase&#8217; comes to an end, it is more than possible that the direction of their work will change. They will have fewer opportunities to talk about episodes related to Mr. Wada, and this will have a gradual impact on them.</span></p>
<h2> Is &#8220;Early Retirement&#8221; Impossible?</h2>
<p> The &#8220;Akko family&#8221; is composed of a wide range of talents, from newcomers to veterans, idols, comedians, former athletes, and so on, transcending the boundaries of <span class="strongInContent">entertainment</span> agencies, so &#8220;Akko is <span class="strongInContent">the &#8216;lubricant&#8217; of the entertainment industry.</span> It <span class="strongInContent">has also played the role of a &#8220;</span> lubricant <span class="strongInContent">&#8221; in the</span> entertainment industry. A producer at a production company adds.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> A producer at a production company adds, &#8220;Perhaps it is because the times have changed, but the number of cases in which the program side provides opportunities for the talent to interact with each other has really decreased. The number of programs that don&#8217;t hold launches has increased. That is why the Akko family is such a valuable venue. Mr. Wada is a leading figure in his field, so he is very strict about etiquette. Not only the talent, but also the staff has been educated a lot. It would be a shame to lose such a valuable opportunity.</span></p>
<p> Another member of the Akko family was horrified by the news of the end of &#8220;Omakase&#8221; from a &#8220;different angle.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> There are members of the Akko family who are afraid of the &#8220;infernal drinking sessions&#8221; that were prevented by having two regular live radio programs on Saturday and Sunday afternoon, &#8220;God Afternoon Akko no Ikaigen ni 1000 times&#8221; (Nippon Broadcasting System) and &#8220;Omakase&#8221; (Nippon Broadcasting System) on Sundays. There are some members of the family who are afraid of the &#8220;hellish drinking sessions. Akko&#8217;s rampaging behavior at the drinking parties is as dynamic as what comedians have revealed on variety shows and other programs. She is also a lonely person, so she is a long-tempered person. As a lowly worker, it is impossible for her to go home early tomorrow. The number of drinking sessions and the time required for them will increase.</span></p>
<p> At a regular press conference on September 25, TBS Managing Director Takanobu Goda said that the &#8220;end&#8221; of &#8220;Akko ni Omakase! is &#8221; <span class="strongInContent">not true at all. I strongly</span> deny it.</p>
<p> Family members who had been spending restless days must have been relieved.</p>
