AbemaTV, Inc. (ABEMA) has announced that its new original documentary series, 'CELEB SECRET,' will begin broadcasting on June 20, 2026. The program explores the glamorous lives and hidden struggles of four high-profile women living 'super celebrity' lifestyles across the globe. The studio host lineup includes TV personality Rino Sashihara, actor Shinnosuke Mitsushima, Junki Kono of the global boy group JO1, and Kemuri Matsui of the comedy duo Reiwa Roman. This marks Kono's first solo challenge as a program host.

The documentary provides exclusive access to restricted environments such as aristocratic balls, high-fashion show backstages, and elite international schools with world-class tuition fees. It follows four prominent figures: Sachi Fujii (model and daughter of a former Louis Vuitton Japan president), global influencer MONAKO (over 3.2 million followers), Lara (medical student and polyglot who served as a designer for Samantha Thavasa), and Ureshino-chan (entrepreneur in medical tourism). The series theme song is 'Risk' by Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams.

Following the first recording, the hosts shared personal insights during a media interview. Sashihara disclosed spending significantly on celebratory gifts for her idol group, =LOVE, while Kono shared an anecdote about purchasing a high-end refrigerator after an appliance mishap. Matsui discussed the realities of his wealthy background and the reactions of industry executives to his father's professional status. Mitsushima reflected on his physical training and the professional inspiration he received from industry veteran Takuya Kimura, who famously gifted custom jackets to an entire production crew. The hosts emphasized that despite the immense wealth depicted, the show highlights universal human emotions and the perseverance of these women.
