In this article, you’ll learn who Saori Araki is, the viral office Japanese Salarywoman (Asian girl in a suit), videos, images, and memes.

Who is Saori Araki?

Saori Araki is a Japanese model, actress, and former J-pop idol from Nagasaki, Japan.

She rose to fame after posting a picture of herself on X dressed as a “salarywoman”.

In the picture, she smiles with puffed up cheeks with the caption “Good Morning ☀️”.

In the next few days, she posted more pictures in the same outfit.

One where she poses with a peace sign and another with a relaxed and confident pose.

The picture was taken at Takeda Design and Manufacturing Co. Ltd., a Japanese company specializing in design and manufacturing.

Previously, she was part of the J-pop idol group Tokyo Girls Bravo under the stage name, Araki Saori.

She decided to step away from her idol career to pursue other ventures.

As her picture continued to gain popularity, Araki posted an introduction of herself.

She states, “My name is SAO. By day, I work as an office lady, and on the side, I’m also active as a model and actress”.

Followed by, “Until earlier this year, I was part of an idol group. Tomorrow, I’m planning to upload a YouTube Shorts video”.

And, “Hope you’ll be there for me. I’ve read all your warm messages. Thank you so much for all the love and support”.

On July 29, she announced her new YouTube channel and posted her first Shorts video.

In the video, she talked about making a question and answer video and posting it on YouTube.

However, she mentioned that if there is not much interest, she might not post it.

“Hello everyone, I’m Sao. Thank you for watching this video right now”.

“Over the past few days, my face has been spreading all over the X worldwide. So, thank you so much for that”.

“So I decided to start YouTube channel. My first video might be a Q&A video maybe, but if there’s not much interest, I might just give up.

“Thanks for being here and I’m excited to start this journey with you. See you again soon on social media”.
