Question from Readers:
I heard that Naoto Fujiki has been decided as the MC for “Tabi Sarada.” Was there a need for a handsome face? Wasn’t Katsumata-san suitable? Do female viewers really need a good-looking man on screen?
Naoto Fujiki’s Appointment as MC for “Tabi Sarada”
I was pleasantly surprised to hear that Naoto Fujiki has been appointed as the
MC for “Tabi Sarada.” It makes sense to me; after all, I wonder if they were looking for a handsome face. Katsumata-san is certainly entertaining, but he might be a bit too much for a relaxing weekend morning. With his unique energy, he might just wake you up right away (laughs). Recently, I’ve found myself turning on the TV while having breakfast, and when I want to relax, I think it’s nice to have someone with a calm demeanor like Fujiki-san. Enjoying a cup of coffee while watching his cheerful smile is the best way to start the day. While I like Katsumata-san too, his energy might be a bit too intense for a morning setting.
The Psychology of Female Viewers
When considering female viewers, it’s undeniable that having a handsome man on screen is a plus. Someone with the freshness of Fujiki-san could provide a sense of comfort for the audience. My friends often say, “When there’s a handsome guy, I can’t help but watch.” However, I also think that Katsumata-san’s character is important, and I hope his strengths can shine through as well. Speaking of which, I remember going to see a comedy movie with friends and laughing so hard that my stomach hurt. Every time a handsome actor in the film said something funny, we all burst out laughing, probably bothering the people around us in the theater (laughs). It’s true that laughter has the power to connect people. In closing, I would love to hear what kind of MC characters the viewers are hoping for. Please share your favorite MCs or stories about shows that bring you comfort in the comments!
