According to a poll published by Jiji Press on September 18, Koizumi topped the list of “the most suitable person to be the next president. Naturally, however, the presidential election is not decided by name recognition, but by the votes of Diet members and party members and friends. The September 25 issue of Shukan Bunshun (Weekly Bunshun) reported the Koizumi camp’s “stealth allegations,” and Koizumi himself made an apology, admitting the facts in large part. The public is very angry, and we don’t know what will happen until the very end.” As has become the norm in recent election campaigns, the “way the media reports” is also attracting attention, discussion, and criticism on social networking sites. Amidst all this, there is a news program that is attracting the attention of some users from a slightly different angle. According to a TV station official, “It is broadcast live in the afternoon on Saturdays. It is the Saturday Live News Zigzag (NTV), an information program broadcast live on Saturday afternoons. Ozawa has been the navigator of the program since it started in April of this year. In his private life, he married NHK announcer Maho Kuwako (38) in 2021, but it is also known that he had a long relationship with freelance announcer Christel Takigawa (47) in the past. An acquaintance of Takigawa’s tells us. In the winter of 2009, Ozawa and Takigawa were reportedly close to getting married, but their relationship broke up in 2015. However, it is said that they had been dating for more than 10 years, and even after their breakup, they were often caught meeting together, so it is clear that it was not a quarrelsome breakup but an “adult breakup. The fact that the two seemed to be on good terms even after the breakup suggests that they were maintaining a good distance from each other.
