The MCs talk about the appeal of the final episode of "CELEB SECRET"

"CELEB SECRET" is a documentary series that follows the daily lives of four super-celebrity women active around the world and portrays their true faces, struggles and "light and shadow."

The MCs spoke about their feelings for the show after finishing the recording of the final episode.

Looking back on all eight episodes, Rino Sashihara called it "a fresh documentary series that taught me something with new emotion every time," and commented, "It made me notice parts of myself I hadn't updated, and I learned so many things from them."

Of the final episode, Shinnosuke Mitsushima said, "What will the four of them talk about when they come together? I feel I can see a little of the meaning and the answers we picked up from their appearing on this show," and sent a message to viewers: "I think that after watching, everyone will surely feel like taking a new step toward the future."

Junki Kono, who took on solo MC duties for the first time, said, "This show itself was a wonderful program that earnestly conveyed people's gritty sides and their efforts," and shared a fulfilling experience: "I think I was able to say what I was thinking quite naturally in every episode."

Kemuri Matsui explained that the highlight is that when the celebrities in the final episode "lay bare each other's worries, we can see many parts that overlap with us viewers."

The show infiltrates worlds normally open only to a limited few, such as an aristocratic ball, the backstage of a fashion show where global stars gather, and a top-class celebrity school in the world.

The four celebrities it follows are model Sachi Fujii, whose father is the former president of Louis Vuitton Japan; MONAKO, an influencer and model with over about 3.2 million followers in Japan and abroad; Lara, a current medical student who speaks nine languages and was also a Miss World Japan 2025 runner-up; and Ureshino-chan (Yumi Ureshino), who moved to Malaysia at 25 and runs a medical beauty tourism business.

It closes in on the "secrets they can't tell anyone" carried by these women who seem perfect at first glance.

The theme song is "Risk" by singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams. This pop song, which depicts the feelings of leaping into an uncertain future, colors the world of the show.
