On November 5, the Japan premiere of Mamoru Hosoda’s latest film “Endless Scarlett” was held at the Tokyo National Museum, where actress Mana Ashida, who voices the main character, took the stage. The film, which is scheduled to open in theaters on January 21, tells the story of Scarlett, a princess who vows to take revenge on the enemy who killed her father, and her journey to the “Land of the Dead . At this event, Ashida, who plays Scarlett, appeared from the balcony of the Tokyo National Museum with Masaki Okada, who plays Saint, who travels with Scarlett. Ashida, dressed in a pure white dress and wearing more mature makeup than usual, wowed the audience. In September, she appeared on “Shuichi” (Nippon Television) to promote her movie “Not Me, Not Flame. At the Japan premiere, Ashida wore dark eye shadow and eyeliner toward the corners of her eyes and a subdued pink beige lip color. Ashida’s recent growth has been met with admiration on social networking sites, with some saying, “She has become really beautiful,” while others are saying, “I liked the natural look she had before. Viewers who have been following Ashida’s career as a child actress since her childhood may be puzzled by her “adult-ization. However, considering Ashida’s future activities, she cannot continue to wear only “natural makeup. Ms. Ashida has gained popularity for her cuteness, friendliness, and elegant appearance and behavior. However, although her popularity as a TV personality is solid, her childlike face and petite figure make it difficult for her to play a wide range of roles as an actress. Considering that she will turn 21 this year and will continue to age, if she is serious about pursuing an acting career, she will probably want to broaden her image in the public eye. Ashida’s appearance, which has undergone a drastic change with the use of heavy make-up, will be the focus of attention in the future.
