History

edit

Dengeki Taishō first aired in October 1994 and was originally started to work in connection with MediaWorks' light novel award, the Dengeki Novel Prize, which was first held in 1994. After MediaWorks started their male-oriented light novel imprint Dengeki Bunko in June 1993, the first round of the contest was held the following year, which awarded the Gold Prize to Kyoichiro Takahata for his novel Criss Cross: Konton no Maoh. Due to this, the original title for the radio program was Dengeki Taishō Criss Cross (電撃大賞クリス・クロス), but this was changed in April 1995 to Dengeki Daisakusen (電撃大作戦), and then again in April 1996 when it was changed to the current title. While primarily being an informational program, radio dramas also air on Dengeki Taishō based from light novels under Dengeki Bunko. The show has been through a series of different hosts, each time working as a pair (except the first three months of broadcast which had a single host) and the hosts change frequently. The longest time a host continued with the show was with Taiki Matsuno between January 1999 and September 2003. As of April 2013, the host pair is Natsuki Hanae and Erika Yazawa. For the broadcast on November 4, 2006, the program's title temporarily reverted to the previous Dengeki Daisakusen and was hosted by three previous hosts—Mayumi Tanaka, Rumi Kasahara, and Taiki Matsuno—the first two of which were the hosts during the time the show was actually called Dengeki Daisakusen.
