Saeko Wins Happy Woman Award 2022
Raising two sons while pursuing his own unique path
TV personality, Saeko (35), appeared on stage in a bright yellow dress at the International Women’s Day celebration held in Tokyo last March 8. She wins HAPPY WOMAN AWARD 2022 for SDGs in the individual category. The award was given in recognition of her philanthropic activities using her ability to communicate.
Speaking of Saeko, her surprise appearance in “Dragon Cherry Blossom” (TBS), which aired in April last year, became the talk of the town. Immediately after that, she announced her retirement as an actress on her YouTube account.
She has 320,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel and 1.6 million followers on her Instagram. Her posts of petit-price coordinates are especially popular. The clothes she introduces are resold for high prices on the Internet, even though they are from UNIQLO (fashion writer).
The award was given in recognition of his philanthropic activities using this ability to communicate.
She has been a major contributor to the Japanese economy, said Mr. Kato, starting with her donation for the damage caused by the foot-and-mouth disease epidemic in Miyazaki in 2010, and then in 2007, when a typhoon hit Chiba, she collected 15 truckloads of supplies in two days. In 2008, she moved to Tochigi and became the manager of a ranch that was in crisis and successfully revitalized it. Most recently, she has been calling for aid money for Ukraine,” said an entertainment reporter.
Currently, both Saeko’s public and private lives are moving smoothly and her two sons were accepted into prestigious schools in England. She is now recognized as an influencer, businesswoman, and social activist, and we look forward to seeing more of her in the future.
