Pimply perfection

Perhaps a little run-down due to her anti-spyware campaigning, all-round celebrity and big-time blogger, Kaori Manabe, has turned her attention to more personal matters; joining forces with facial cream manufacturer Proactiv in the quest for better skin.

At this week’s promotional event, the 24-year-old claimed to have suffered in the past with spots, resulting in her being quite withdrawn as a youngster. However now that they’ve cleared up — all down to the power of Proactiv of course — the boil-beating blogger has a new and confident outlook on life, happily boasting, “I want to show off my skin.” Her pimple-free and positive approach amply conveyed in the bubbly and bouncy picture below.

As well as delighting both her sponsor and the nation’s adolescents by adding, “I want to dress up and go out, and find new love,” Manabe-san also had hordes of gamers frantically fiddling with their joysticks, claiming, “I’m into video games now.”
