The award ceremony for the 21st Clarino Beautiful Legs Award 2025, which recognizes celebrities with beautiful legs, was held in Tokyo on October 6th, with winners Nakajima Runa, Takahashi Hikaru, and Riisa Naka in attendance. Nakajima won in the Teen category, Takahashi in the 20s category, and Naka in the 30s category, and all showed off their beautiful legs. Actress Yonekura Ryoko, who was selected in the Over 40 category, was absent due to poor health. This is her second win, having won in the 30s category in 2011.
Nakajima, who appeared in a mini-length dress, smiled and said, "I'm very honored to have been chosen, and since my birthday is October 10th, I feel like I've received an early birthday present."
Takahashi, who is receiving the award for the second time in six years, commented with joy, "I received the award in 2019 and was disappointed that I wasn't able to attend this event at the time, but I'm really happy to actually be able to hold the trophy in the 20s category. I think this is all thanks to the education my mother gave me from a young age, telling me to keep my legs tightly closed, not to sit cross-legged, and not to sit seiza, so I'd like to express my gratitude to my mother as well."
Naka, who appeared in a bright red mini dress, said, "I was really surprised because I never thought I would be chosen. I went to three massage parlors yesterday, and this morning I went to the sauna, and today I was getting a massage right up until I went on stage."
The award was established in 2003 by Kuraray, the company behind the artificial leather Clarino. The award's executive committee selects the winners "to support women of all ages who want to create healthy, attractive, and beautiful legs through shoes."
Previous recipients of the award include Yumiko Shaku (2003, 2009), Arisa Mizuki (2007, 2017), Nanao (2016), Kasumi Arimura (2018), Nana Eikura (2019), and Mio Imada(2023). The 20th award winner, in 2024, was Kisaki Hattori, Alice Hirose, Manami Higa, and Megumi.
