Rinna Ishikawa, active as an actress and entrepreneur, won the Grand Prix at the 'Smile No. 1 Contest' (formerly the 'Sincere Smile Beauty Contest') organized by APA Hotel Co., Ltd., receiving perfect scores from all judges.
This contest evaluates not only outward appearance but also inner beauty, humanity, and expressive power. In the final judging, which included walking, a 60-second self-PR, and a Q&A session, Ishikawa was the only contestant to receive perfect scores from all judges and was selected for the Grand Prix.
Ishikawa, appointed as the APA Hotel PR Ambassador, started her self-PR during the final judging by singing a passage from the song 'Tomorrow' from the musical 'Annie'.
She gave a speech about her background of performing as a musical actress since childhood with the desire to be a 'catalyst for someone's smile', and her current activities as the representative of a crime and disaster prevention business developed under the concept of 'bringing peace of mind beautifully to daily life'.
Furthermore, as a declaration of her determination to walk the two paths of actress and business owner simultaneously, she shared a message based on the words 'Those who chase two rabbits will get both', a phrase cherished by APA Group founder Toshio Motoya and mentioned by APA Hotel President Fumiko Motoya in her book 'Kyoun' (Great Fortune). She stated, 'I want to be a presence that can not only deliver smiles but also protect them', and her consistent attitude and passion were highly evaluated.
Ishikawa will continue her activities as an actress while aiming to realize a 'society where everyone can live safely with a smile' through her crime and disaster prevention gift business 'Amule'.
Following this award, she plans to expand the scope of her activities from both aspects of entertainment and solving social issues, with the theme of 'smiles' as the axis.
Comment from Rinna Ishikawa:
'I am extremely honored to receive such a wonderful award. From now on, I will strive not only to deliver smiles through expression but also to become a presence that can protect those smiles. And as the APA Hotel PR Ambassador, I hope to deliver many of the charms of APA Hotel. Thank you for your support.'
