Does the Tokyo Olympics postponed "Arashi" continue to serve as propaganda ambassador? NHK: No change plan at this stage

People's Daily Online, Tokyo, March 26. The Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK) held a press conference on the 25th at the headquarters of NHK Television in Shibuya, Tokyo.

Affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics originally scheduled to be held this summer announced a one-year extension. As the host of the Olympic special program, the popular Japanese group "Arashi" has previously announced that it will be suspended at the end of 2020, and many people have questioned whether they can continue to serve as propaganda ambassadors.

A person in charge of NHK stated at the press conference on the day that "there is no plan to change the special publicity ambassador, and no decision can be made on the specific situation next year."
