On June 28, it was revealed that actor Ito Hideaki (36) will take on the challenge of becoming a radio personality.

He'll begin by hosting the July 3rd show of Nippon Broadcast�s popular All Night Nippon program. His show, titled �Ito Hideaki no All Night Nippon GOLD�, begins airing at 10PM.

The program is usually broadcast from the Yurakucho studio in Tokyo, but on Ito�s particular broadcast date, the program will be broadcast from ABC radio since Ito is set to appear in Osaka at an event for the film �BRAVE HEARTS Umizaru�, (opens July 13) in which he plays the lead role, on the same day.

To support Ito on his first broadcast, his fellow �BRAVE HEARTS Umizaru� cast members Sato Ryuta (32) and Kato Ai (29) spontaneously decided to participate in the broadcast as guests. Listeners can expect the trio to reveal stories from the set, provide explanations to comments from listeners, and answer questions from listeners.

Ito enthusiastically stated, �It is a wonder how I can take on the challenge of being a radio personality for one of my favorite programs, 'All Night Nippon'.� Because it is a live broadcast, I will use caution to avoid getting caught up in the moment.�
