SGKI-064C Ika Sare! Mezamashi News: Never let your expression slip while on air. Autumn Equinox Special Report: A rookie announcer trembling before a new challenge, from the days as a rookie AD

This fall, the new program Ika sare! Mezamashi News will begin, and 22-year-old rising star announcer Kitaoka has been chosen as the main caster. I want to deliver the news without ever losing my composure, no matter what happens, as an announcer. Kitaoka carefully keeps a clear distinction between work mode and off-duty mode, and on air, delivers the news with remarkable calm. Here, we introduce a rare look back at Kitaoka’s days as an assistant director. Even while exhausted from a demanding workload and dozing off, she would not wake up easily, but then began to show signs of being overwhelmed. This is the essence of endurance and restraint.
