Akiko Kuji’s “too cool black leather jacket” delighted fans…!

Freelance announcer Akiko Kuji posted a “too cool black leather jacket” on her Instagram account, creating a buzz.

Kuji was born in Iwate Prefecture in 1994. After graduating from Aoyama Gakuin University, she joined Fuji Television in 2017, where she made her mark in her first year, taking charge of the signature program “Kujipan.” In April 2019, she became the main anchor on “Mezamashi Saturday.” However, after only five years, she gave up on her career as an announcer and became a freelancer in May 2022.

Kuji worked as a model before joining Fuji. Although freelance announcers are the standard after leaving Fuji, Kuji’s activities are not limited to being a freelance announcer. Her activities as a model and TV personality are also highly anticipated. She also has 450,000 followers on Instagram and is expected to be active as an influencer.

Kuji also announced her marriage to NBA player Yuta Watanabe in May of this year. Since the announcement, Kuji has been busy traveling back and forth between New York, where her new team is based, and Tokyo. Kuji recently visited SOHO, a fashionable area in New York City, and was shocked.

She had lunch in SOHO and went to a cafe. I discovered that HARBS, which I love in Japan, is also in New York. I felt again how different the prices are from Japan.

It seems that the price of one cut of cake is so high in the U.S., where inflation is rising, that it took Kuji by surprise. In Japan, most cakes at Harbs are less than 1,000 yen per cut.

I can’t take my eyes off Kuji more and more ……!
