New Fuji TV Announcers

Meet the 2 freshest faces of Japanese TV station Fuji TV! I only wish half of the announcers / newscasters in the States look as cute as them.

In line with the “young girls are preferred” tradition on Japanese TV, this past Monday Fuji TV (フジテレビ) unveiled their 2 latest beauties who joined the company this year.

23 year old Ayako Kato (加藤綾子) received her education from Kunitachi College of Music (国立音楽大学) and has been playing the piano for 17 years. Fuji TV handed the lucky Saitama Prefecture native the coveted host position of “Katopan” (カトパン), a weekday late night show that bears her name and will kick start tomorrow.

Keiko Tsubakihara (椿原慶子) who turns 23 later this month also brings with her good pedigree, having gone through her entire education from junior high school to college with the famous Sacred Heart University (聖心女子大学) system. Keiko got her own show as well. “Ana-ban” (アナ★バン!) will air every Sunday night starting on the 19th.

At the press conference the nervous Ayako Kato said she’d like to interview musician Nao Matsushita who also graduated from her alma mater on her show. Keiko Tsubakihara on the other hand daringly brought up the request of doing a show together with Ayako at an overseas location.

Starting 10/14 at 12:35am Ayako Kato’s (right) “Katopan” will replace Yoko Shono’s “Sho-pan”
