(Central News Agency reporter Dai Yazhen Tokyo, 8th) A magnitude 5 earthquake with the largest magnitude occurred in Aichi Prefecture, Japan early this morning. It was late at night and many people were still sleeping. However, NHK Nagano Broadcasting Station anchor Inai Kiyoka quickly appeared in the studio to broadcast the latest news just 10 minutes after the earthquake. She wore glasses, had no time to fix her hair, and went straight into battle without any makeup. Her dedicated appearance caused a heated discussion on the Japanese Internet.
Nikkan Sports reported that the earthquake occurred at 1:04 a.m. today. Due to the suddenness of the incident, Inai Kiyoka obviously had no time to dress up and hurriedly went into the news broadcast. She appeared without make-up, glasses and slightly messy hair. Faced with the sudden emergency, although she was different from her usual neat makeup and hair in front of the camera, she still calmly conveyed the earthquake information to the audience.
After the footage was exposed, many Japanese netizens praised him as "a model anchor" and "this is true professionalism." Others were moved and said that although they were a little surprised to see her look completely different from usual at first, what was even more admirable was that even when a strong earthquake occurred late at night, she still prioritized delivering information. "She should be very scared herself, but she could still broadcast so calmly, which is really awe-inspiring."
In fact, this is not the first time that Inai Kiyoka has made an emergency appearance without makeup. Some netizens pointed out that whenever a major emergency occurs, she almost always goes into the studio wearing glasses and no makeup. Obviously, she cares more about being able to deliver important news to the audience as soon as possible than her appearance.

According to the NHK official website, she pays special attention to "disaster prevention". In the past, she not only participated in the production of disaster prevention radio programs, but also participated in volcano disaster prevention-related activities.
