 [Personnel announcement] Effective April 1, 2022, Taichi Masu will retire at his own request on March 31, 2022.
The letter was posted on the bulletin boards on each floor of the NTV station in January of this year. It was officially announced that NTV&#8217;s ace TV announcer Taichi Masu (40) would be leaving the station at the end of March.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 The day before the announcement, he was announced as the main MC of &#8220;Truth Report Bankisha! (broadcast on January 23), mentioned Masu&#8217;s graduation, and that he will be moving to an assistant professor position at Doshisha University&#8217;s Harris Institute of Physical and Chemical Research in April, where he will be working on research in the academic field of science communication. She will be working as an assistant professor at Doshisha University&#8217;s Harris Institute of Physical and Chemical Research starting in April. (Nittele employee) &#8220;It was also announced that he will continue to appear on
Masu is a gifted science major who studied agricultural and life sciences at the University of Tokyo&#8217;s graduate school. It is a well-known story that when she was a student, she wanted to be a reporter who worked with nature. He has long had a yearning to become a researcher. However, the hearts of those who work at the TV station are not at peace.
 The TV industry continues to struggle, pushed by emerging media. Masu&#8217;s departure caused a stir among station employees because they shared a renewed sense of crisis. We may see the emergence of a second or third Masu announcer in the future.
<h2>Ace Receives Shock</h2>

Fuji Television&#8217;s ace is also making a new start.
Akiko Kuji, 27, will leave Fuji at the end of April. She made the following comment to a sports newspaper.
 I realized that I am 27 years old. I have a big desire to try something new.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
Kuji was a remarkable presence while a student at Aoyama Gakuin University. She worked as a model for the fashion magazine &#8220;non-no.&#8221; In April 2005, she joined Fuji and was selected as a sports caster for &#8220;Mezamashi TV&#8221; in her first year. She became the youngest person ever to be appointed as an anchor, making her an ace of Fuji in both name and reality. However, &#8230;&#8230;.
 It seemed as if she would become the main anchor for &#8220;Mezamashi TV,&#8221; and then slide sideways to become the main anchor for &#8220;Mezamashi TV. Kuji was expected to succeed Ayako Kato, who had gone freelance. However, the unexpected personnel change was revealed in March of last year. Seika Inoue, one year Kuji&#8217;s junior, was selected as the main anchor. The first time I saw the show, I was surprised at the number of people who were interested in it.
 For Kuji, this must have been quite a shock. It meant that the lineage of the signature announcer had been transferred from Kuji to Inoue. Many Fuji employees believe that this personnel change was one of the reasons for Inoue&#8217;s departure.
After leaving Fuji, Kuji plans to rejoin Innocent, the entertainment agency to which she belonged when she was a student. In the future, Kuji will not only work as a freelance announcer, but will also expand her activities to include acting and modeling.
