king's brunch

When I turned on the TV this morning, I saw one of the 2 MCs at the TV program, King's Branch, was changed.

I was a bit surprised, since I had thought this Saturday morning TV show was doing very well. I mean I thought there was no reason to change MC.

While watching the TV show, I just remember the story of a famous Chinese noodle restaurant in Ogikubo. The restaurant has been thriving for several decades, and called as synonymous with Tokyo style Chinese noodle. Many people have complimented the restaurant that it's been keeping exactly the same its unique taste from its start-up. They have loved such unchanged style and policy.

However, the master of the restaurant confessed that it has not kept its taste of the start-up, but it has always continued changing its taste a bit. He said that if it had not changed its taste as many people assume, they might have got tired of its taste, and not been frequent customers. At the same time, he also said if it had changed the taste a lot, customers might have been away from the restaurant. Therefore, He has always tried his best to change its taste to meet its customers' preference and trend, but not let them recognize such change.

Of cource, it's easy to say, hard to do. I even can not imagine how difficult to do as the restaurant does. You may remember the story of Coca-Cola. I do not know King's Branch will succeed with this change. But one thing I believe is that without change, this TV show might loose its preferred viewers near future.
