The story
MBS Radio’s “MBS Young Town Saturday” featured Rio Sakurai and Akane Yumige, with guest Momoha Nagano. The broadcast fell on the very day the Hanshin Tigers’ league championship was announced, but the show wasn’t swapped out for a special program and aired as usual — on 5ch’s live-commentary threads, surprised comments like “Don’t cancel it for a special broadcast!” and “So it really stayed as the regular show” popped up. With the studio having just relocated, listeners also reacted to the different sound quality and the addition of new sponsor Ringer Hut.

HERE IT COMES━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!!
HERE IT COMES━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!!
even before I opened this thread, I could already tell from the radio audio alone that the sound quality was different from usual
Apparently it's FM Sounds in Hirakawa-cho
Sanma could probably just walk there
oh, the sponsor shout-outs changed too
Background and talking points
“Young Town Saturday” is a flagship MBS Radio program currently hosted by past and present Morning Musume members, including Rio Sakurai and Akane Yumige. In the thread, the relocation of the recording studio became a topic of conversation: in response to the question “Mainichi Shimbun → TBS → where now?”, one post claimed it was “apparently FM Sounds in Hirakawa-cho.” Hirakawa-cho is located in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, and the comment hints that MBS, an Osaka-based broadcaster, might now be using a studio closer to Tokyo — though this remains speculation within the thread and could not be independently verified. The broadcast date also coincided with the announcement of the Hanshin Tigers’ league championship win, and listeners were surprised that the show stuck to its regular format instead of switching to a special broadcast. The addition of Ringer Hut as a new sponsor was also brought up as a sign of the show’s recent changes.
