Fuji TV’s Yumi Nagashima to Resign in March—The Truth Behind Her Next Career Move
There are also voices suggesting that she may not return to television
“Fuji TV has implemented Japan’s first paternity leave system among key stations, offering substantial benefits. Despite this, Nagashima is leaving without returning after childbirth, leading to speculation that she may not come back to television.”
Indeed, former Fuji TV announcer Maki Ohashi (48) also left the network to become an aromatherapist, with many expecting her eventual return, but she never did. However, an industry insider dismisses such concerns.
“This has nothing to do with any issues at Fuji TV. As she stated on Instagram, she had already made this decision last year. She has even been in contact with entertainment agencies. She plans to leverage her skills from news and music programs and will continue appearing on TV if opportunities arise. Without the constraints of being a station announcer, she will likely expand into a wider range of activities.”
Beyond promoting sports and fruit, could she also venture into the mom talent sphere? Her future endeavors will be something to watch.
