The host’s seat from Kanna Hashimoto ……
A reporter for a sports newspaper commented on Imada, who is currently flying by the seat of her dreams. The fact that she was chosen to host the Kohaku is a foregone conclusion. She played the heroine in the morning drama “Anpan,” which ended last month to favorable reviews. The average household viewer rating was 16.1%, which is a respectable level. The last episode of the morning drama “Anpan,” which was modeled after Nobu Yanase, the wife of Takashi Yanase, the creator of the “Anpanman” series, was perfectly executed. Imada has been compared to Hashimoto, who hails from Fukuoka and has been called “one of the most beautiful girls in a thousand years. Hashimoto, who originally debuted and became popular earlier than Imada, is her “senior,” even though she is younger than Imada. However, Hashimoto’s previous morning drama “Omusubi,” in which she served as the heroine, recorded the lowest average household viewer rating in history at 13.1%. Her career came to a halt. After that, Imada, whose reputation had improved with “Anpan,” snatched the Kohaku hosting position from Hashimoto as if to say, “I’m going to change the leading role.
No major works to speak of.
Imada is also aiming to become the next “CM queen. In the first half of this year, she tied for third place with Shohei Otani (31) in the Nihon Monitor’s ranking of the number of companies using her in TV commercials, with 15, compared to 19 for Mana Ashida (21) and 18 for Haruna Kawaguchi (30), who came in second. The unit price per film, which is said to be 30 million yen, is expected to rise further due to the “Kohaku effect. However, a producer at a key station is very critical: “It is premature to be hyping her as a ‘top actress. “She has no representative works other than energetic and cute roles. I think she still lacks a wide range of expressive power. In the case of “Anpan,” he was helped by skilled co-stars such as Yutaka Takenouchi (54), Nanako Matsushima (52), and Kazunari Ninomiya (42). Even in “World Championships in Athletics” (TBS), for which he served as an ambassador last month, his comments were said to be “thin-skinned” for someone with experience in athletics.
