NHK has announced additional changes to the lineup of its English conversation program, "Eigo de Shabera Night." Earlier this month, NHK revealed that announcer Minoru Aoi will be replacing Kazuya Matsumoto. The network has further revealed that Yumiko Shaku will leave as well, while model Moe Oshikiri and actor Norito Yashima join the crew.

Oshikiri admits that she is still a beginner at English, even though she has been taking conversation classes. This will be a chance for her to redeem herself after two public embarrassments with the language. One was two years ago, when she was unable to communicate in English while in New York on work for the fashion magazine CanCam. The other was last September during an interview with stylist Patricia Field about the Hollywood film "The Devil Wears Prada."

The show currently airs on Friday nights at 11:00pm, but starting in April it will move to Mondays at 11:00pm.
