and work have transformed significantly since her previous TV appearance.

This post has sparked a wave of excitement among fans.
The 25-year-old actress shared her experience at Meiji University, where she participated in
a special class during a university festival related to her movie Six Lies of University
Students. In her post, she expressed her admiration for the energy of the students,
saying, I was overwhelmed by the power of the students. Amazing! I decided to go for
a festival-themed outfit. She highlighted her ensemble, which included a ribbon-tied blouse,
a mini skirt, and a long cardigan. Her Instagram featured several photos,

Former Nogizaka 46 star Asuka Saito reflects on fame
Former Nogizaka 46 member and actress Asuka Saito appeared on the Japanese television show
Google Pixel Presents Another Sky on November 2. During her appearance, she shared her thoughts
about her career in the entertainment industry, visiting the iconic Tower of the Sun in Osaka,
which she considers her personal power spot. Saito expressed that the tower's meaning is up
to individual interpretation, relating it to her experiences as an idol. She remarked,
idol culture is unique, it often leads people to overanalyze things and throw questions back
to the fans, inviting them to enjoy and think about it themselves. With a smile, she quoted
artist Taro Okamoto, saying, art is a form of magic, reflecting on how her career sometimes
15:06
feels like a double-edged sword. This job is fun and glamorous, but if you become too
obsessed with it, it can make life difficult. I believe there's more to life than just this,
she stated. Saito, who views Osaka as a place where she can shed her heavy armor,
conveyed her wish to immerse herself in the local culture while enjoying casual experiences,
like drinking beer at local eateries. She reminisced about her last appearance on the
show five and a half years ago, reflecting on her personal growth and changes since then.
Currently, Saito shared her perspective on her career, stating, if you asked me whether I
would still be in this line of work ten years from now, I would say probably not.
Following her graduation from Nobizaka 46 in May 2023, she noted that the desire for certain
experiences and material things has diminished. I find joy in simple pleasures now, she said,
emphasizing the deep affection she feels for the people of Osaka. I believe true love is about
sharing laughter with people, young and old. That's the kind of person I aspire to be,
Saito concluded with a warm smile.
Asuka Saito Reflects on Life After Nobizaka 46
Asuka Saito, the former member of Nobizaka 46, made her return to the spotlight in an appearance
on Another Sky, which aired on Nippon Television on the 2nd. This marked her first appearance on
the show in five years, where she revisited Osaka, a place filled with memories from her
concert days with the group. Reflecting on her two years since graduating from Nobizaka,
Saito shared, I find that the image of me sitting cross-legged, drinking beer,
is very close to my true self. If someone asked me in ten years whether I'll still be in the public
eye, I would firmly say no. As her chat continued, Saito noted, upon being alone and experiencing
changes in my environment, I've realized that what I desire and the sights I want to see have
changed completely. This prompted N.C. Kojiimada to humorously interject, that's too soon. It's
still early. In a light-hearted moment, Saito replied with a smile, acknowledging the potential
for new experiences in the future, stating, but I could still meet new views ahead.
She concluded her thoughts by sharing her goals for the future,
expressing a desire to live peacefully and healthfully as a woman and as a person.
Her journey after leaving the group continues to evolve,
18:02
and fans remain eager to see where her path will lead next.
