Ayaka Hironaka jokes about husband's fitness habits on TV Asahi

During a broadcast of the TV Asahi program ‘Azatoke te nani ga warui no?’ on August 27, announcer Ayaka Hironaka shared humorous frustrations regarding her husband’s fitness habits.

While reviewing past guest quotes, the show highlighted a comment from a previous episode where a guest claimed muscle training is useful because one can ‘protect someone if something happens.’ Hironaka critiqued this sentiment, suggesting that for many men, including her husband, training is merely an excuse to visit the gym. She jokingly challenged the logic by stating, ‘If you really want to protect someone, go do Jiu-Jitsu!’

Her remarks prompted laughter from hosts Ryota Yamasato and Airi Suzuki. The segment, which featured reflections on memorable quotes from the show’s history, saw Hironaka’s comment nominated for the program’s ‘quote award.’
