‘There are problems, but he is a legend’…Former Japanese national team soccer player Hisato Sato “after” his “adulterous love affair” with a therapist.

On December 21, ’24, “Sanfrecce Hiroshima Legend Match 2024” was held at the EDION Peace Wing Hiroshima, and former Japan national team player Hisato Sato (42) participated. He appeared in a short-sleeved uniform in the bitterly cold weather of 11 degrees Celsius and light rain. He wowed the fans with his sharp movements, just as he did during his active career.

The news of Sato’s affair with a younger therapist came as a big surprise to fans. Let’s look back based on the article we distributed on May 7, 2012.

Haru-like beauty.

She said, “Hey~. Do you have something on your mouth?”

A man peeks into the face of a woman with such a sweet expression on her face. They looked at each other and smiled. Walking hand in hand down a deserted alleyway, the two men lock lips with each other…

It was a weekend in mid-April 2012. The man immersed in a “private world” in Shinbashi (Minato Ward), Tokyo, a place crowded with salarymen, was former Japanese national team soccer player Hisato Sato. He was wearing black top and bottom and sunglasses, perhaps as a disguise.

Sato is a legendary striker who played for Japan’s national team and has scored 220 goals in the J-League, making him the all-time leading scorer. Since his retirement in 2008, he has been active as a commentator and holds soccer schools in various locations. He is also known as a loving wife and father of many children. He married his wife at the age of 21, whom he met shortly after his debut as a professional soccer player. He has a house in Hiroshima City and is blessed with three sons. All three of them have followed the path of soccer in admiration of their great father,” said a member of the Japan Football Association.

However, the person standing next to Sato on that day was not his wife of more than 20 years. Who was she with?

The other party is a 30-something general woman, Ms. A, who works as a therapist. She is a beautiful woman with a cute smile and looks like Haru, an actress. In fact, Ms. A and Sato have been having an affair for a year,” said an acquaintance of Sato.

Sato, who does a lot of work in Tokyo such as commentary and TV appearances, is currently working alone. On the day in question, he visited Ms. A’s apartment in her car, parked the car in the parking lot with a familiar hand, and they went out together into the night.

They enjoyed dinner at an Italian restaurant in Shimbashi for about an hour starting at 7:30 p.m. On the way home, they were in a lovey-dovey mood, as shown at the beginning of this article. Even though they were disguised with sunglasses, they were bold enough not to let go of Mr. A’s hand even for a single moment on the main street. After the first kiss in the alley, they kissed while searching for the second restaurant. When he kissed her again, he kissed her again. After we completed the “hat trick of kissing on the street,” we went into Mr. A’s apartment without stopping at the second one. Sato did not return home after the last train that day.
