At the 46th Miss Nippon Contest 2014, Reimi Kanda, a third-year student in the Faculty of Policy Management, was awarded the title of 2014 Miss Nippon "Angel of Water."
The 46th Miss Nippon Contest 2014 was held under the theme of "proactive women with inner beauty." Out of 2,533 applicants, 13 contestants selected from five districts across Japan participated in the final contest.
As the 2014 Miss Nippon "Angel of Water," Ms. Kanda is engaged in events and PR activities to raise understanding of and interest in water infrastructure.
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 personal goal of "becoming a leader of our time," it was necessary to gain a deep and broad understanding of both 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 Japanese culture, history, diplomacy, etiquette, and self-presentation skills.
Now that I have received the "Miss Nippon" title, 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 PR activities to raise 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 make my activities engaging for everyone at the Keio Gijuku Shachu, and I look forward to your support.
