The amount of the special allowance for hosts of "The Kohaku Uta Gassen" was shocking! Former NHK newscaster Junko Kubo reveals the amount: "I work all through New Year's Eve until midnight"
Junko Kubo (53), a former NHK newscaster who is now a kindergarten teacher in New York, appeared on Fuji TV's "Poka Poka" on the 28th. She confessed about the shocking "work allowance" she received when she hosted the "Kohaku Uta Gassen" (The Kohaku Song Battle).
Kubo hosted the show for three consecutive years from 1998 to 2000. She spoke fondly of the time when the script was the length of two phone numbers, Namie Amuro's marriage, and her return to the stage after giving birth.
"But, um..." he began awkwardly, then hesitated, "I'd be working all night on the 31st, until midnight. And my allowance is..."
"It's New Year's Eve, so there is," said MC Haraichi Yu Sawabe, to which Kubo blurted out that the special allowance was a shockingly cheap price of "1,000 yen." Sawabe was surprised, saying, "What! You remembered the equivalent of two pages of the Town Pages (phone book)?"
When Manaka Kanda, a fellow former NHK newscaster, said, "Huh?" in surprise, Kubo said, "There was!?" intrigued. When Kanda said, "When I was working overtime for a month," Kubo opened her eyes wide and said, "What?" She explained, "I worked almost all night for the last week, so I'll definitely record that as overtime."
