After work, she showed up in Ginza… Fuji Television’s Aoi Harada’s “5 hours girls’ night out” was witnessed and photographed!
For five hours, I was absorbed in…
Ginza, Tokyo, is lined with luxury brand stores. One autumn day, a beautiful woman was enjoying a “one-woman silver bra” with light steps. She was Aoi Harada, 25, an announcer at Fuji Television Network, Inc.
Harada entered the entertainment world as a first-term student of “Sakurazaka 46” and became the front runner for the first time with their third single “Nijin Saison” (Two Saisons). She went on to become a popular member.’ She graduated from the group in 2010 and became an announcer for Fuji Television in 2011. Currently, she is in charge of the station’s signature programs such as “Mezamashi TV” and “Poka Poka” (sports newspaper entertainment reporter).
Harada enjoyed window shopping for a while before joining the woman. He secured a table for six and returned with the tea he had ordered at the counter, where he began arranging what appeared to be Swarovski and rhinestone items on the table. It appeared that he was decorating small items in the store.
I sat down at a table with Ms. Harada without noticing her, and I couldn’t help but notice that someone was concentrating on decorating small items. They were so absorbed in their work that they kept looking down, but when one of the women looked up, she said, ‘What is that? I realized that it was the announcer I had seen on the morning news program⁉” (laughs). She was quietly working on the decorations, not even bothering to talk to her friends.
It was five hours later when Harada left the restaurant with her friend.
Harada once attracted attention when she mispronounced “nasutsu” as “nasutsu” (graduated), but she has improved her skills as if she were a different person. In May of this year, when Mezamashi TV’s main anchor, Kiyoka Inoue (30), took a week off from the program, Harada was chosen to fill in for her, but she made no mistakes in reading the script or allocating time. Harada read the script and allocated her time without error, and performed her role perfectly.
The concentration she showed in the “5-hour decoration” event seems to have been put to good use in her work as an announcer as well.
