ABEMA Announces Model and Creator Emi Suzuki as Studio Guest for Episodes 4 and 5 of 'CELEB SECRET': 'This Show Tells Personal Life Stories—Many Will Find Empathy and Courage'

ABEMA, the 'television of the new future,' announces that model and creator Emi Suzuki will appear as a studio guest on episode 4, airing free of charge on Saturday, July 11, 2026, at 9:00 PM JST, and episode 5, airing the following week, of its new original documentary series 'CELEB SECRET,' which uncovers the glamorous lives and hidden 'secrets' of four women living as super-celebrities around the world.

What is the New Series 'CELEB SECRET'?

'CELEB SECRET' is a new original documentary series from ABEMA that delves into the dazzling daily lives of four women living as super-celebrities worldwide, uncovering their hidden truths, inner struggles, and the 'light and shadow' behind their public personas. The series goes 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.

Who are these women leading seemingly perfect lives that everyone envies? The documentary follows four women:

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

The series will follow their glamorous lives across the globe on a grand scale.

Additionally, the theme song for the series is 'Risk' by Gracie Abrams, a rising global icon and singer-songwriter receiving worldwide attention. 'Risk' is a pop song that captures the fear and excitement of diving headfirst into an uncertain future.

The studio MCs who observe and discuss the lives of these celebrity women are talent Sashihara Rino, actor Mitsushima Shinnosuke, JO1 member Kohno Junki, and comedian Matsui Kemuri from the duo Reiwa Roman. Notably, this marks Kohno's first solo MC appearance.
