Following the conclusion of the long-running program ‘Miyane-ya’, Japanese television personalities are undergoing professional transitions. Seiji Miyane is scheduled to appear as a monthly guest MC for Shingo Katori’s program, ‘Shingo no Me’, in October.

To fill the programming slot previously held by ‘Miyane-ya’, Yomiuri TV has announced a new news program titled ‘News to’, set to premiere on October 5. The program will air weekdays from 1:55 PM to 3:50 PM. The show will be led by main MC Chiaki Kuroki, with Shinji Murakami of SUPER EIGHT appearing every Friday. The studio format will feature five panelists discussing current events, with a rotating cast of weekly regulars including Yuka Kurotani, Nobuteru Ishihara, Tsuyoshi Naito, and Annika.
