Maki Hashimoto of Yasushi Akimoto-produced 'Rain Tree' appointed as official Wellness Ambassador and semi-regular on CROSS FM's 'Dr. Nakata The Well-being'!

Wellness Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kotaro Nakata) is pleased to announce the appointment of Maki Hashimoto, a member of the Yasushi Akimoto-produced group 'Rain Tree,' as the 'Official Wellness Ambassador' and the first semi-regular guest on the CROSS FM program 'Dr. Nakata The Well-being,' effective April 1, 2026.

[Background of the Appointment] A health management partnership dating back to the birth of Rain Tree Our company has been involved as a personal doctor for the members of 'Rain Tree' since before the group's formation, supporting their physical conditioning. We also share a connection through our respective radio programs, 'Dr. Nakata The Well-being' and 'Rain Tree no Meme no Mori,' which air back-to-back every Monday night on CROSS FM.

Maki Hashimoto, who is now taking on the role of ambassador, has a particularly high level of professionalism regarding beauty and health within the group. We found common ground in our views on the synergy between preventive medicine and beauty. Rather than a simple talent endorsement, we have welcomed her as an ambassador for our preventive medicine service, 'Wellness Membership,' as a professional who embodies the synergy between preventive medicine and beauty. We share the value of 'living beautifully and healthily' in both mind and body, and we look forward to promoting well-being together.
