Playback ’93] Junko Sakurada, who was forced to leave the entertainment industry after her “joint wedding ceremony and pregnancy,” in maternity during her secret new marriage.

Sakurada was living in the home of his older sister, who was also the catalyst for his joining the former Unification Church. At the time, there were no reports of any sightings of her among the residents of the area, so much so that Sakurada seemed to be living in seclusion.

It was on a Sunday morning in November that this magazine saw her. When her sister and her husband and their three children were getting into their car to go out, Sakurada was the last one to get into the car to hide herself. Sakurada and his sister and her family visited a park five to six kilometers away, where there was also a gymnasium and a track. The family was running and exercising, and Sakurada, who is pregnant, was happily spending her time capturing the action on camera. But even in the sweaty weather, she never took off her jacket and kept her hat on.

After their marriage, Sakurada was blessed with three children.’ In 2006, she broke her silence and published a collection of essays entitled “Eisuru Jumban” (published by Shueisha), in which she wrote about her life during the 14 years she had disappeared, including childbirth, child rearing, and neighborhood relations. She also seems eager to return to show business.’ In 2005, she made a guest appearance and sang at a music event in Tokyo, and in ’18, she launched the “Junko Sakurada Project” website and released her first album in 35 years, “My Idolology.

However, she is still a member of the former Unification Church, and many criticize her performing activities. In fact, when she attempted to do so in ’17 and ’18, the National Lawyers Against Spiritual Sales issued a statement against it. As long as she is a believer, the image of a “billboard” will follow her. As a result, nothing seems to have been done about her return.

The shooting of former Prime Minister Abe has brought the issue of the former Unification Church back into the spotlight, and an order to dissolve the church is currently being deliberated. What does she think about this now?
