Honorary announcer Takashi Tsukada is currently the Tuesday MC for TV Kanazawa’s 『Tonari no Telekinchan』. Did you know that he is quite skilled at playing the guitar, as one of his hobbies is listed as one of his hobbies in his profile?
He has been posting videos of him playing acoustic guitar on his Twitter account, and recently he tried his hand at that Eric Clapton song from 『Unplugged – Acoustic Clapton』 (1992).
『I played 「Hey Hey」 in the Eric Clapton style, solo guitar.』（↓From the link below）

Tsukada Anna also seemed to struggle with the blues classic 『Hey Hey』
『Hey Hey』 is a classic song by Big Bill Broonzy (1893-1958), the “father” of Chicago blues, and was covered by Eric Clapton in his honor in 1952.
Honorary Announcer Tsukada said that when he first heard the song, he didn’t know how to play it, so he must have practiced a lot. People who watched the video were also surprised, saying, 「I didn’t know Mr. Tsukada was a bluesman!」 and 「This is so cool and austere」.
Speaking of Tsukada , she and Huwa-chan
In August, the TV personality Huwa-chan was glimpsed on location during a live broadcast of 『Telekinchan』 and then appeared in the studio to tangle with Tsukada Homare ana and the regulars.
This was a surprise project that a TV producer from TV Kanazawa brought to the September 18 broadcast of 『Gyoretsu no dekiru sodanjo』 (NTV), and to Tsukada’s surprise, he could not understand what was happening until he saw 『Gyoretsu』 while meeting Huwa-chan in real time.
Such a delightful Tsukada Anna was actually hit by a car while crossing a crosswalk at an intersection on a national highway late at night in January 2016 (he was 53 years old at the time), and was rushed to the hospital. She was seriously injured, breaking both legs.
When he spoke at the 「Victim Support Forum 2018」 by the Ishikawa Victim Support Center in December 2018 after he got well, he shared that the moment he was hit, he tried to run to the shoulder of the road thinking he might be hit again by the next car, but his legs would not move. It was a professional spirit because the first thing that came to his mind in such a situation was 「What should I do about Tuesday’s news?」.
He even took two months off to get my foot fixed.
In September 2021, he announced on 『Telekinchan』 that he would be taking 「two months off for treatment of his foot」unrelated to the car accident in 2016. In the meantime, his specialty corner 「Homare no doko iku?」 continued to air, with other announcers filling in for him.
It has been four years since he started growing vegetables at JA Kanazawa’s hands-on farm, Happi Garden, in 「Homare, I started farming」. I know that you may have aches and pains in various places, but I hope that you will continue to be healthy and challenge various projects and enjoy your hobby of playing the guitar.
