Peace Piece Project is pleased to announce the release of a special interview video featuring MEGU (Megu Sakai), who participated in the 2nd Children’s World Peace Summit at the age of 15 and later delivered a speech at the United Nations Headquarters in New York as a representative of Japan.
When she was 15 years old, MEGU shared her dream of becoming a model who would work on the global stage. During her presentation at the Children’s World Peace Summit, she expressed her belief that:
“World peace means bringing smiles to people around the world. To achieve that, each person should act with kindness and compassion.”
Since then, she has continued to challenge herself through modeling, stage performances, and public speaking activities.
In 2026, MEGU achieved a major milestone by delivering a speech in English at the United Nations Headquarters during the World Down Syndrome Day Conference. Today, she continues her journey as a model, idol performer, and advocate, pursuing even greater dreams on the international stage.
The newly released interview features MEGU alongside Ms. Mariko Takagi, Representative Director of Smile Walking Club, who has supported her growth since elementary school. Together, they discuss:
- What inspired MEGU to participate in the Children’s World Peace Summit
- Her journey from a teenager with a dream to a speaker at the United Nations
- The importance of taking on challenges without fear of failure
- Why believing in a person’s potential can change lives
- Her goals and aspirations for the future
Through this conversation, viewers will discover how a young person’s dream, supported by encouragement and opportunity, can grow into achievements that inspire people around the world.
