Go Tokyo Your Experience
Japanese NHK anchor Nakagawa Anna, renowned for her impressive figure and often compared to the voluptuous “Fujiko Mine,” has recently stirred a minor controversy during her coverage of the Paris Olympics. During the opening ceremony, her outfit caused quite a stir among viewers, leading many to exclaim, “For a moment, I thought the anchor wasn’t wearing any clothes!”
Nakagawa Anna is serving as a special correspondent for the Paris Olympics, reporting alongside former gymnast Kohei Uchimura and actress Anne Watanabe. On the day of the opening ceremony, she wore a white blazer over a nude-colored top, which, under the lighting, appeared almost identical to her skin tone. This created an illusion that she was not wearing anything underneath, prompting comments from viewers like, “Did I really see that?” “From a distance, it looks like she’s only wearing a jacket,” and “Was the color choice for the inner wear appropriate?”
The visual effect, caused by the lighting blending with Nakagawa Anna’s skin and her top, sparked considerable discussion. Even when she wore a dark gray knit top, her voluptuous figure remained prominently visible, again making her a hot topic among netizens.
Nakagawa Anna’s curvaceous figure has garnered significant attention, even though her outfits have not been revealing. Previously, a photo of her resting her chest on a table drew widespread attention and reportedly led to a warning from the TV station. Nakagawa Anna has expressed discomfort with the excessive focus on her sexy image. A source close to her revealed, “She is a cheerful person, but she feels quite puzzled about being regarded as a sexy ‘Fujiko Mine’.”
The incident highlights the intense scrutiny female anchors can face regarding their appearance, particularly in high-profile events like the Olympics. Despite the unintended wardrobe illusion, Nakagawa Anna continues to perform her duties professionally, even as discussions about her appearance persist.
