In an exhilarating atmosphere on May 14, 2025, the world-renowned model SHIHO graced the stage once again, marking her comeback as the image character for Wacoal's 'Wing' brand after nearly two decades. With Wacoal celebrating its 50th anniversary, the event at the Wacoal Kojimachi Building was a heartfelt homage to beauty, evolution, and inspiration.

SHIHO's undeniable charm captured the audience immediately as she appeared in a vibrant pink ensemble, radiating confidence and warmth. "Hello everyone! SHIHO here! It's a pleasure to be with you today!" she greeted, her infectious smile lighting up the room. Reflecting on her remarkable return, SHIHO expressed, "Standing here after 20 years is incredibly rewarding and truly an honor."

As the event unfolded, the audience was treated to glimpses of SHIHO's graceful modeling and captivating presence, especially showcased in her stunning TV commercial featuring the 'Syncro Bra Top'. Her comments about the shoot were filled with enthusiasm, praising the homey environment created by the director and the chance to express her growth as a model. "The evolution reflected in the Match Me Bra is amazing, providing comfort while allowing me to be myself. Every moment of the shoot was filled with joy!" she shared.

The excitement heightened with the appearance of guest star Chinatsu Wakatuki, who expressed her admiration for SHIHO, having grown up watching her in various commercials and magazines. "I've been waiting for this moment, and I can't believe I'm finally meeting you!" Wakatuki exclaimed with sheer delight. Their initial encounter was lighthearted, where they exchanged laughs and candid moments, eventually leading to discussions about their personal growth over the past 20 years.

In a segment dedicated to reflecting on their journeys, both SHIHO and Wakatuki exchanged insights about adapting to life's changes. SHIHO shared her wisdom about personal evolution, emphasizing the importance of keeping fit and adjusting her lifestyle as she aged. "I've taken up kickboxing and breath coordination training to stay in shape. It’s vital to keep updating oneself as time goes by,” she conveyed, while Wakatuki humorously noted, “I feel like I've outgrown my youth, but that’s okay!”

The highlight of the event included the debut of the new WEB commercial 'The Evolution of Bras', where SHIHO demonstrated the remarkable feature of the Match Me Bra, which adapts to all body types. Audience members enjoyed witnessing SHIHO's unique modeling walk live, prompting Wakatuki to call for a special encore of SHIHO’s runway style.

An interactive segment titled 'Match Me Challenge' allowed the two stars to bond over personal trivia and aspirations, where they aimed to answer questions in sync. With questions ranging from yoga poses to future ambitions, their playful competition showcased the genuine camaraderie that developed in front of the audience. The event thrived on positivity, celebrating not just the products but also the counterparts' vibrant enthusiasm for life.
