A Comment from Reimi Kanda
I am filled with both joy and a sense of responsibility upon receiving the title of Miss Nippon "Angel of Water."
During my university life, I came to believe that to achieve my goal of becoming a leader of our time, I needed to gain a deep and broad understanding of Japan and myself. It was then that I learned about the philosophy behind the Miss Nippon activities and decided to apply.
During the contest selection process, I attended lectures on topics such as Japanese culture, history, diplomacy, etiquette, and self-presentation skills.
Now that I have received the title of "Miss Nippon," I will spend the next year as the "Angel of Water," engaging in social activities, including those to promote water infrastructure. I will be involved in events and promotional activities to increase public understanding of and interest in water.
Although this is an unfamiliar world for me, I hope to deepen my knowledge and connect these experiences to my personal goals. I will do my best to spark the interest of everyone in the Keio Gijuku Shachu, and I appreciate your support.
