In 2001, she won the grand prize in an audition for the magazine “Pichilemon” and made her debut as a model. In addition to being an MC for variety shows, she is also active as an actress. She has appeared in films such as “The Never-Ending Song of My Father and Me.

Celebrated the 25th anniversary of her debut!

Last year, I was able to hold a public recording event for my podcast and meet the band I admire, 10-FEET, on their radio show. I was able to perform in a musical with the two members of “Chocolate Planet” at their 20th anniversary event with people who are usually very kind to me. I am the type of person who has a hard time praising myself, but I feel like, just a little bit, I have been recognized for who I am.”

With a warm smile familiar from her TV appearances, TV personality Shiori Sato (35) looked back on the year 2013.

Ten years have passed since she became sub-MC of “100 Million Great Questions! Laugh and Correct! (Nippon TV), “Ariyoshi’s Wall” (Nippon TV), where she is an assistant, and “King’s Brunch” (TBS), where she is the overall host. As a model by origin, she has also graced the pages of numerous fashion magazines, including “BAILA” (published by Shueisha) and “SPUR” (published by Shueisha).

One particularly memorable moment in ’25, when she was able to praise herself for the first time, was a public recording of her podcast program “Satoshi Oachiette and Pepe – Gyoza on the Rice.

He said, “We held two sessions, one in June and the other in November, and the first one was held inside a train car of the ‘La View’ express train that connects Tokyo to Saitama, with the help of Seibu Railway Company. The second event was a public recording at a hall in Tokyo, where we sold original goods for the first time.

Neither event was announced on social networking sites. We didn’t announce either event on social networking sites because we wanted to gather the people who usually enjoy our podcasts. So I was worried about whether anyone would come, but hundreds of people showed up. I was really happy to be able to actually interact with the listeners and hear directly from them that they had a good time and that it cheered them up.”

Sato’s personality was reflected in the audience that gathered at the venue.

Natsuko Yokozawa (35), who came as a guest, told me, ‘It’s not every day you have an event where all the guests are seated and waiting 15 minutes before the show starts. I am also the type of person who arrives 15 minutes before the appointed time for work or meeting friends, so I thought that people with similar sensibilities to myself had gathered there.

Sato has also established a solid reputation as a great assistant. In the “Laugh and Correct! and Hiroyuki Ariyoshi (51) in “Ariyoshi’s Wall. In fulfilling this major role, he says there is one thing he keeps in mind.

The January 8 issue of “FRIDAY January 23” and the paid version of “FRIDAY GOLD” carry what Sato had to say about her relationship with Ariyoshi, the reason why she always has a smile on her face, and how she refreshes herself during her busy days.
