The song's success led her to appear at the NHK's Kohaku Uta Gassen, the annual year-end music show (after that, she continued to appear consecutively up until 1978). In 1970, the single "Tegami (The Letter)" peaked at No. 1 and was the second best-selling single in Japan 1970. For "Tegami", she won the vocal award at the 12th Japan Record Awards. She received the Best Vocalist Award at the 15th Japan Record Awards for her hit "Koibumi (Love Letter)".
She quickly became a popular TV personality, appeared on a number of variety shows, and acted in several movies.

In 1985, she started appearing on stage with her sister, Sachiko. They toured around Japan with their speciality of Japanese children's songs and received the Best Planning Award in the 28th Japan Record Awards for their hit album "Ano-toki, Kono-uta" (あの時・この歌 / "Those Times, These Songs"). Their repertoire was not limited to children's songs, but also included pop, classical, and anime songs.
In 2009, she released her first original album since 1984, commemorating the 40th anniversary of her singing career as Saori Yuki. A collaboration album with Pink Martini titled 1969 was released in November 2011 in more than 20 countries, and quickly gained popularity in various places, including the United States, Canada, Singapore and Greece. She also appeared as a guest soloist on Pink Martini's festive album, Joy to the World, singing the Japanese language version of "White Christmas".
In 2012, Saori Yuki won the US Billboard Publisher's Award.
