Tetsuya Chikushi, Anchorman Our program stars Tetsuya Chikushi, one of Japan's leading journalists, at anchor. With high credibility gained from home and abroad based on his broad knowledge and acute analysis, Chikushi plays an active part as a pillar of the program. Chikushi is supported by Mitsuyo Kusano and Tadahiko Sako, reporters who make every endeavor to dig into each news story. Since the start of the 11th year, the young and cheerful Hiroko Ogura has been in charge of the sports corner. Prime news, carefully picked out from among the news stories carried on that day, are introduced and spiced with our unique insights.
Special features reflect on the changing times.
We depict the world surrounding us by focusing on new trends and phenomena in our daily life. Sports news is one of the most popular columns among our viewers. We do not just cover professional baseball and J. League soccer games, but also a wide range of topics including big events related to many kinds of sports. Each year, our program produces several special series that cover current social issues as they appear. We are now planning and projecting a new series to portray the wandering souls of Japanese people who have lost something they had once believed in.
