NHK announcer Naoko Suzuki, 44, expressed frustration on the live morning program "Asaichi" on September 3, responding to a viewer's message about husbands repeatedly asking if food is spoiled. The message, read by comedian Hakata Hanamaru, described a husband who always asks "Is this rotten?" about canned goods and preserved foods, prompting Suzuki to emphasize that such comments irritate wives and often lead to arguments. Suzuki, who joined NHK in 2004 and has hosted major news programs, has been leading "Asaichi" since spring 2021 after returning from maternity leave.
