Q. Please tell us how you came to appear in this program.

I was already enjoying my work as a reporter for a gourmet program on Chupi COM, and then I was invited to this program.

The phrase "Tension Age-Age" is in the program title, and it has been my dream to have a program named after me, so I'm incredibly happy that it's been decided!

Q. This program will be broadcast nationwide on "satonoka." Please tell us the highlights for those who will be watching for the first time.

For people who don't know Hiroshima, this program will make them think, "Wow, Hiroshima has such interesting places!" And even though I live in Hiroshima, this program shows aspects of Hiroshima that even I didn't know. I believe it's a program that will make viewers want to visit Hiroshima.

Q. Please tell us about the charms of Hiroshima Prefecture from your perspective.

First of all, the food is delicious. Everything is delicious. Okonomiyaki, oysters, they are all delicious. Fish and meat are also abundant with delicious things. Also, it has two World Heritage sites, which is a charm. And the people are warm. If you talk to them, everyone enthusiastically shares information with you!

Q. You are also a special supporter for an idol audition in Hiroshima. Please tell us about your future career prospects.

The young people in Hiroshima Prefecture are sparkling and have the potential to shine. I want to support such people. I visit facilities and sing songs or teach dances as a "song sister," and I want to create future "mini Tension Takano" by delivering such happiness.

Q. Please give a message to the viewers.

Hello. I'm Tension Takano. If this is the first time you're hearing my name, you might be surprised, but I'm a local talent in Hiroshima. As my name suggests, my motto is high tension and energy. I deliver the program in my own style, with full Hiroshima dialect. I'll be sharing unknown and surprising information about Hiroshima through the program, so I would be very happy if watching the program makes you want to visit Hiroshima.

Please watch it casually, lightly, and enjoyably!
