========================
This video introduces you to Ms. Nozomi Sasaki, one of Japan's popular actresses and models.
Nozomi was born to Japanese parents in Akita. She was scouted by a talent agent when she was working at a shop.
In 2005, Nozomi was working as a clerk at the shop "Fashion Shop" that opened in Akita Opa, there just so happened, a talent agent saw her and asked her to participate in a gravure for discovering amateur beauty content. Nozomi found him weird, so told her boss and family. The store boss thought that he and Nozomi should investigate whether that was legitimate or not, so they went to a place where photographs were taken.
On 9 March 2006, it was indeed legitimate and the magazine company announced that Nozomi Sasaki was the first Grand Prix of "Galcon Japan." In Aug that year, she received the award of the Grand Prix out of 4,290 applicants at the "2nd Princess PINKY Audition" of Shueisha's women's fashion magazine "PINKY."
Nozomi was the first girl in the company's history that won the Grand Prix in both a gravure idol contest (readers are young men) and a fashion model contest (readers are young women), which have very different readerships. After Nozomi's won both, there were job offers from more than 10 entertainment agencies. The rest is history. When she quit her shop clerk job and moved to Tokyo.
Her store boss who is a friend of her family was with her in Tokyo to protect her.

Since the same year, Nozomi has also been active as a supporting character for Shueisha's "Golden Tiara Award." On the other hand, she also worked as an exclusive model for "PINKY," and in the July issue of the magazine published in May of the same year, Nozomi decorated her first cover with another fashion model, Emi Suzuki. Nozomi also appeared in the music video for "B with U" from Aqua Timez's album "Dareka no Jiege" which was released on 21 Nov 2007.
