<h2>Yume Miyamoto was formerly known as &#8220;Seiran Takigawa&#8221;!</h2>
At the end of March, Keio University held its graduation ceremony. A female student in a hakama smiled for the camera. This was Yume Miyamoto (22), who had just been confirmed as a new announcer at TV Asahi. Fans gathered, requesting photos with her.
One fan shared, &#8220;I said, &#8216;Congratulations on your graduation! Can I take a photo with you?&#8217; and she responded with a bright smile, &#8216;Of course!&#8217; When I said, &#8216;Good luck with everything!&#8217; she energetically replied, &#8216;Yes!'&#8221;
It&#8217;s rare for a newcomer to have such popularity, and there&#8217;s a reason for this.
&#8220;She was actually known as Seira Takigawa, a popular student talent during her time at Keio University. Takigawa joined the entertainment agency &#8216;Saint Force Sprout,&#8217; which is known for having many freelance announcers, in her first year. She started working as a student caster. She appeared in variety programs like gee up sprout and &#8216;Mezamashi TV&#8217; (Fuji TV), where her calm and pleasant voice gained her many fans.&#8221;
Fans of Takigawa were shaken on April 1, when it was reported that actress Kanna Hashimoto (26) appeared at TV Asahi&#8217;s entrance ceremony alongside the four new announcers, including Yume Miyamoto. Many fans speculated on social media, wondering if the announcer next to Hashimoto was actually Seira Takigawa.
&#8220;Upon checking the Saint Force Sprout website, I noticed that her photo and name were removed from the talent list. It seems she left the agency in March. Her X and Instagram accounts were also made inaccessible. No official reason has been given for this,&#8221; a watcher reported.
The internet even saw pages comparing the features of &#8220;Seira Takigawa&#8221; and Miyamoto, comparing the mole on her nose and cheek, a charm point the announcer had mentioned. After reaching out to TV Asahi regarding the past profile information, the response was, &#8220;We refrain from disclosing employee-related information.&#8221;
In an interview from April 3, 2022, on the online platform Bigakusei Zukan, Miyamoto mentioned her goals, saying, &#8220;I want to be an announcer who brings energy to the morning, even on the dreariest mornings.&#8221; We may soon see her smiling face on &#8220;Good! Morning&#8221; as Yume Miyamoto, formerly known as Seira Takigawa.
