Consider the current state of Toshiba, not surprising. There is no way they can continue their sponsorship. But Sasha’s san is a nationally popular show that has been aired for more than 4 decades. I wouodn’t be too concern about them finding a new sponsor

I guess the laws about advertising are different there; makes me think of the role Geritol played in Quiz Show.

In light of Toshiba's sheer instability, I can't say this is a surprise. I could see Fuji TV being a good candidate for sponsor.

Sponsorship on Japanese TV is akin to that of what American broadcasting was like before the 1970's, when practically most programs had a main sponsor attached, who also owned a percentage of that program, often leading to such ordeals as having the cast members pitch the product during the ad breaks or even naming the show after the sponsor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGTNan9kyrs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdHSIquSHMw
Fuji TV technically can't sponsor the show since they've broadcast it since day one, their name is in the credits. |

I hope Toshiba pulls through, it's the company I trust most when it comes to optical media video players, at least on the affordable-name-brand end of the spectrum.
Whenever it is that I get a 4K UHD Blu-Ray player, I want it to be a Toshiba. |

Wow. 48 years. What a run. Well, it's Sazae-san so there's nothing to worry about. Everything will be fine.

Hopefully, still it would be interesting if they could make it to see the big 5-0 at least. |
