Looking at the ashita mania~na home page now, the cute cat seems to me like it looks a bit sadder than usual. After 7 years airing Monday to Friday, the very short program featuring narrator Hamada Mari (ex-Modern Choki Chokies) announcing entertainment news is now over. Tonight was the last, and their last news was that the show ended, showing Mari-chan receiving flowers. What a shock...
I will definitely miss that one!

Oh man, that's really shitty! I don't always watch it, but I get a few giggles when I do catch it.

Yeah, what a shame, I'll miss her break-the-sound-barrier speed talk too! She was great.

Indeed, I love her fast but clear speech! I hope to find her again on some regular narration spot.

Is this Hamada Mari the same Hamada Mari that was Japan's heavy metal idol in the 80s? I love watching Hamada Mari live videos, she's so cool and cute at once!

No, she's not the same. Modern Choki Chokies' Mari-chan's name is 濱田マリ, while the other one is 浜田麻里.
Modern Choki Chokies was a quite unique band from Osaka, with countless members and no specific style, and it also involved some comedy.
