Question from a reader:
Is there a possibility that Fuji TV’s new announcer, Uegaki Koutarou, may resign? Or is there none?
Considering the Resignation of Fuji TV’s New Announcer
Recently, there have been many questions regarding the potential resignation of Fuji TV’s new announcer, Uegaki Koutarou. To be honest, since he is only in his second year, I believe the likelihood
of his resignation is low. Of course, there are many aspects of industry trends and internal circumstances that are not visible from the outside, but it is hard to imagine that a newcomer like him would resign early unless there is a special reason.
The Harsh Reality for New Announcers
Having worked part-time at a judicial scrivener’s office myself, I can somewhat understand the workplace atmosphere and the struggles of newcomers. Jumping into a new environment is tough, especially in the media industry where competition is fierce. New announcers face not only the pressure of standing in front of viewers but also the guidance of superiors and seniors as they grow. Choosing to resign in such a situation requires a significant level of determination. I recall when I first joined the judicial scrivener’s office, a senior told me, “First, memorize the legal terms,” and I desperately memorized them without understanding their meanings. Late-night studying and early morning commutes became my routine. As a result, I developed a habit of buying sweet snacks. I can imagine that Uegaki-san is putting in similar daily efforts.
Examples of Resignation and Their Impact
Recently, the early resignation of Announcer Kishimoto became a topic of discussion. Her resignation is notably early among Fuji TV’s new announcers. When news like this circulates, it inevitably stirs unrest among colleagues. For those working in the same workplace, it’s not just someone else’s issue; it could affect their future as well. Indeed, there are various reasons behind the decision to resign. Issues related to health, family circumstances, and perhaps excessive expectations or dreams about the industry could all play a role. I too have contemplated various options when choosing the path of a judicial scrivener. Each path has its own story.
In Conclusion
While I cannot predict what will happen with Uegaki-san, I hope he continues to fulfill his role and grow. And even if he does end up resigning, I pray that the experience will be beneficial for his life. If anyone has memories from their own rookie days or stories from their current workplace, I would love to hear them in the comments. Even the smallest experiences can resonate with others. I hope to create a space where we can share our experiences and encourage one another.
