Fuji TV, Sakuma Minami Ana. Her English is excellent because she lived in the United States from the age of 12 to 16.While she was in college, she was enrolled in the Ikushima Planning Office with Nagisa Watanabe, who was in the same year.
In the past, speaking of “Minami” in the women’s announcer world, it was former TBS Minami Tanaka (36).
“I feel like the tide has completely changed. With the 2021 Tokyo Olympics ending, each station is focusing on introducing fresh young announcers in place of the 30-somethings. “I’m watching the trend of ‘,” says an entertainment agency official.

“Yurika Mita (35), who gave birth to her first child the other day, will leave Fuji TV at the end of March. The shadow of the former “female announcer kingdom” is fading more and more… However, in such a situation, Minami Sakuma (25) is excited to become Mita’s successor.” (Fuji Television Network, Inc.) concerned parties)
From April 2022, Anna Sakuma will be the main caster of the sports news program “S-PARK” for a full year. It is almost “unofficial” for the caster of the Paris Olympics in 2024.
“The atmosphere of a neat and elegant young lady is exactly what Mitapan is. Because she is a returnee, she was proactive in interviewing the former manager of the Angels, Madon, in English, and was active in the field at the WBC.” Before)
On the other hand, Nippon Television, which had relied on the steadfast ace of the newly-married “Mito-chan” Asami Miura (35), has high hopes for its legitimate successor.
“Uchiha Miura Anna is still in full operation. Erina Iwata (27), who was expected to appear in the band, ended at the end of March, and the successor program “Day Day.” It seems that the excessive number of appearances so far has been taken into consideration, but the person himself regrets that his junior Kuroda Miyuana (24) was in charge of the successor program, and he is behind in the ace battle. It’s an impression.
Under such circumstances, Anna Minami Ishikawa is directly liked by Anna Miura. Previously, Ishikawa Anna and “ZIP! When a weekly magazine reported that she was in love with a male Anna she co-starred in, Ana Miura negotiated with the producers to prevent her from leaving the project. Despite being seniors and juniors with an age difference of nearly 10 years, the two are good friends even in private. We sometimes travel together.” (Nippon TV staff)
With this affection, his position in the station began to become solid.
“Following ‘ZIP!’, which was appointed immediately after joining the company, he was selected as the facilitator of ‘Zeroichi’, which started in April 2021. The information program has been expected so far, but it will gradually start from 2022. Appearances in variety shows have also begun to increase.Like Ana Miura, she is recognized within the station as a “hard worker”.It may happen that the work that was entrusted to Anna Iwata will flow to Anna Ishikawa. No.” (same as above)
And the third person, “Minami”, was a great success on the WBC relay broadcast and is on TV Asahi riding the waves.
“Moriyama Minami Anna (24), who was selected as an assistant for ‘Morning Show’ from 2022, is attracting attention. is when Mr. (Toru) Tamagawa was suspended for remarks that misunderstood the facts.
Until then, Mr. Tamagawa was in charge of stretching exercises performed in the weather section of the program, but after that, Anna Moriyama will do it. Until then, Anna Moriyama seemed to be just doing the progress without any problems, but she suddenly changed to a mischievous impression with a slightly stupid side that she showed in stretching exercises. MC Shinichi Hatori-san is also beginning to recognize this part.” (TV Asahi official)
The women’s announcer front is in turmoil due to leaving the company and being transferred. Even the magazine’s coverage team, who chases her to hell, can’t predict how the “Emperor of the South” will fight for supremacy…
