Aimed to coincide with Monday’s Coming-of-age Day, actress Satomi Ishihara has been named ‘Best Pearl Dresser’ among 20-year-olds for 2007. An award in no way designed to blatantly promote a product, but instead to celebrate the beauty of Japanese youth.
Not only that, but the prestigious prize it seems has already boosted Ishihara-san’s popularity, with a long line of fans frantically fumbling for their fit to burst wallets and offering to give the young actress as many pearl necklaces as she wants.
Or something along those lines.
