Konno Asami - News reporter extraordinaire

[lynnkung]

how many programs is Konno doing?

[Celedam]

The only two regular shows I know of are "Moe x Kon", the late-night filler show she does with Ueda, and "Neo Sports". Everything else -- "Morning Satellite", "Aruku Road", "Announcer Lab", business reports, special events, etc. -- is on rotation with the other newbie announcers, so it varies from week to week.

Like everything Japanese, it's based on seniority, and she is very, very junior. She's the announcer-pool equivalent of an Egg.

Konno attempts to interview the SoftBank Hawks during their celebration of winning the pennant.

I would have pushed away the bottles at least. Maybe I'm not as polite as Konkon. lol

I might not watch them regularly but thanks for always posting the Konno news reports
Konno airboxing is reallying interesting to watch I almost forget she used to practice Karate.

This is the main source for Konno clips. There used to be a second channel, but I think it got nuked. Anyhow, I stopped posting the routine stuff like "Moe x Kon" because, frankly, it's not that interesting. Mini-infomercials for upcoming TV Tokyo releases. But if you still want to see it, subscribe.

Unfortunately, I missed this when it was posted a couple weeks ago — goalie Konno returns!

There is also the official TV Tokyo channel, which occasionally has Konno clips but you have to sift through everything else to get them. Speaking of which, extra footage from the boxing report…

She apparently has her own weekly feature segment called "GACHIKON", which I think is a play on gachinko (sumo/wrestling slang for competing in earnest and refusing to participate in rigged matches).

Finally, the full PV for "Junjou Fighter"…

You can tell who is the former idol.

I cant do that either. o.o is it normal to be able to? I've seen many people do it but really @.@;

[Celedam]

I can do it, and I'm a guy who's much bigger, much older, and not particularly limber, so… *shrug*
