The story
Sakurai Rio, personality on MBS Radio’s ‘Young Town Saturday,’ revealed in a blog post ahead of the September 19 broadcast that “the Yantan studio is going to change.” Her post, reflecting on the wistfulness of leaving a studio she’d visited for over two years, drew reactions in the 5ch live-thread as well. This episode featured Tsubaki Factory’s Akiyama Mao as a guest, and talk also turned to the fall programming shake-up — including word that the “Ero Corner” segment will return souped-up in October, and that Novel Core will take over the slot from Ihara Rikka.

Don't tell me you didn't know that, Rairii?
Mari obviously gets it, but apparently she doesn't remember Yuri or something

So, this might already be known to those of you who always listen to Yantan, but…
the Yantan studio is going to change 😿
Leaving a place I'd been visiting for over two years is honestly a little sad 🥹
The dressing room was so bright, with amazing sunlight and a great view — it was the best… lol lol
The announcement photos on X might change too, so the vibe might be a bit different!

Background and key points of this discussion
According to an article shared within the thread, MBS Radio is planning a major overhaul of the programming around ‘Young Town’ in its October schedule shake-up: Novel Core will take over the Friday personality slot from Ihara Rikka, and a new show, ‘Young Town A,’ will launch. The studio relocation discussed in this thread appears, timing-wise, to be tied to this same fall reshuffle. That said, the thread doesn’t reveal the detailed reasons for the move or the location of the new studio — Sakurai Rio’s blog post itself only goes as far as saying the ‘vibe might change a bit.’ It’s worth reading carefully so as not to conflate the two: the programming-overhaul news and Sakurai’s personal note about the studio move come from separate sources.
