What is the New Series 'CELEB SECRET'?

'CELEB SECRET' is an original ABEMA documentary series that delves into the dazzling daily lives of four women living as super-celebrities across the globe, revealing their hidden truths, inner struggles, and the 'light and shadow' behind their seemingly perfect lives. The show takes viewers behind the scenes of exclusive worlds accessible to only a few—such as aristocratic balls, backstage at global star-studded fashion shows, and elite celebrity schools with some of the highest tuition fees in the world.

The series follows four women: Sachi Fujii, a popular model for magazines like CLASSY. and daughter of the former president of Louis Vuitton Japan, currently pregnant with her first child; MONAKO, a global influencer and model with over 3.2 million followers combined worldwide; Lara, a multilingual medical student fluent in nine languages, who became the youngest designer for 'Samantha Thavasa' at age 12 and was crowned '1st Runner-Up Miss World 2025 Japan'; and Ureshino-chan (Yumi Ureshino), a sharp 25-year-old entrepreneur who moved to Malaysia and expanded her medical tourism business across Asia, amassing over 300 members in her online salon.

The series also features the pop song 'Risk' by Gracie Abrams as its theme song—a track that captures the fear and excitement of diving headfirst into an uncertain future. Abrams is hailed globally as a 'new-generation icon' and a 'rising star in the singer-songwriter scene'.

The studio MCs guiding viewers through the lives of these celebrity women are talent Sashihara Rino, actor Mansai Mamoru, JO1 member Junki Kono, and Kemuri Matsui of the comedy duo Reiwa Roman. Notably, this marks Junki Kono’s first time serving as an MC in a solo capacity.

“I Want to Be MONAKO for Just One Day!” JO1’s Junki Kono Thrilled by MONAKO’s Triumph on the Grand Stage

The second episode, aired on June 27 (Sat), continues the journey of MONAKO, the global influencer with over 3.2 million followers worldwide, as she takes on Milan Fashion Week. Despite unexpected setbacks—such as last-minute shoe size issues and major traffic jams just before her most important PRADA show—MONAKO overcomes the chaos and makes it to the grand stage in time.

Later, at the MARNI show, she successfully secures a front-row seat, surrounded by global VIPs including Anna Wintour. Watching her receive chants of “MONAKO!” from international media, JO1’s Junki Kono exclaims excitedly, “I want to be MONAKO for just one day!” Drawing from his own experiences performing overseas, he passionately shares his dream: “Success means breaking into spaces where Asians aren’t usually seen and being cheered on. I want to make it onto the international Billboard charts.”

“Please Don’t Show This” – The Reason Behind MONAKO’s Tears Behind the Scenes

After completing all her shows, MONAKO finally releases the pent-up pressure and breaks down in tears of relief, overwhelmed with gratitude for her supportive best friend. While shyly saying, “Please don’t show this,” she reveals a deeply emotional and vulnerable side, offering viewers a rare glimpse into her true feelings.

Following Ureshino-chan, the 25-Year-Old CEO Running a 200 Million Yen Annual Revenue Business

The episode then turns to Ureshino-chan, a 25-year-old entrepreneur who moved to Malaysia and built a 200 million yen annual revenue business in medical tourism. She currently lives in a high-rise luxury apartment with a monthly rent of 600,000 yen, complete with a shared sand beach area—an extraordinary lifestyle by any standard. During a conversation about expanding her YouTube channel, she strongly tells her husband, “Don’t dismiss me.” The episode reveals a painful backstory: her parents have been unsupportive of her entrepreneurial and social media endeavors, leading to a complete estrangement. Because of years of being invalidated, she has become especially sensitive to words of disapproval—a hidden struggle few knew about.

Meanwhile, in the studio, Kemuri Matsui of Reiwa Roman shares her upbringing as the daughter of a securities company vice chairman. When Mansai Mamoru asks about the size of her childhood home, Matsui casually reveals, “The rent was 1.4 million yen back then. It was in Matsutake, Shibuya, Tokyo,” sending the studio into an uproar over her shockingly real rent disclosure. She adds, “There were two bathtubs. I always wondered, ‘Who are these for?’”—further astonishing the panel with her extraordinary anecdotes.
