Child actress Ashida Mana has been chosen as the MC for Nihon TV's, "Meringue no Kimochi". After gaining popularity from her drama and movie, Ashida will challenge herself by becoming the youngest MC. She expressed, "I want to ask the guests what they wanted to be when they were my age." Starring alongside Hisamoto Masami and Ito Asako, Ashida shared her dream saying, "I want to do a conte with them."

"Meringue no Kimochi" is a talk/variety show that started in April 1996. Producer Hojo Nobuki explained, "It has been 15 years, and I wanted to take on a new challenge. Therefore, I thought about creating a fresh group."As a result, Ito and Ashida joined the show's long-time host, Hisamoto. He continued, "I want her to ask the guests things an adult wouldn't think about. I want her to freely say whatever that is on her mind. I think it will be entertaining to watch unexpected things happen."

The actress starred her first drama series, "Marumo no Okite", and made her debut as a singer with the theme song, "Maru-Maru-Mori-Mori!". While Ashida has hosted a single variety show in the past, this will be the first time she will be in charge of a show that welcomes a special guest every week. She enthusiastically stated, "I will be happy if I can have enjoyable conversations with Hisamoto-san, Ito-san, and the guests."

Ashida has already set her plans as a MC. She wants to try things that the guest's are good at, and ask them what they wanted to be when they were her age. Ashida also wants to learn things about comedy from Hisamoto and Ito, and one day hopes on doing a conte with the two.

Ashida will begin appearing on the show on October 1st.
