Information

Saito Yuki got her start in 1983 after winning the grand prix award for the Tokyo Cinderella Audition. But, she didn't get noticed until winning the grand prix for the Miss Magazine audition a year later. From there, she debuted as a singer in 1985 with the single "Sotsugyou", which sold over a million copies. She later started a career in acting by appearing in the first season of Sukeban Deka as the main character, Asamiya Saki, in 1986.

Saito's biggest hit came in 1987 with the release of the single "Kanashimi yo Konnichiwa". The single stayed on the charts for ten weeks and gave Saito her first appearance on the prized end of the year program Kouhaku Uta Gassen.

By the start of the 1990s, Saito shed her idol singer image and increased her appearance in television doramas and movies. In 1992, she married Isarai Nobuyasu. She is the aunt of singer Serizawa Yuu.
