Abe Uta, a gold medalist in the women's 52kg judo event at the Tokyo Olympics, attended the press conference for Wacoal's "Love your moment Garden" event held in Tokyo on September 5th. Abe, who appeared in a gorgeous white lace outfit, spoke about "moments when you can love yourself" in line with the brand's new message, "To my beloved self. Love your moment."
When asked about "moments when you can love yourself," Abe answered, "Moments when you can take a step forward even in difficult situations." She said, "There are times when I just can't move forward, or when I really don't want to move forward, but I accept those moments and think of them as myself, and when I can move forward at any moment, I strongly feel that I should love myself."
When asked about her daily routine, she revealed, "It's my usual habit to go to training as soon as I wake up, so my routine starts by looking in the mirror and vowing to myself, 'Okay! I'll do my best.'"
Actor Shida Mirai and former member of idol group Sakurazaka46, Sugai Yuuka, also attended the event that day.
The event, which embodies the brand's worldview, will be held from September 6th to 8th at Tokyo Midtown Hibiya Atrium (Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo). Participants can experience making their own original sachets. On this day, the three participants chose their favorite dried flowers and aroma oils and completed their own original sachets.
