Actress Ueto Aya (24), who is known for her healthy image and her love for apples, got chosen as "The First Aomori Apple Queen" today. She attended the small ceremony event with a beautiful red coat and looked just as juicy as a big red apple.
Instead of some flashy award, she basically received a voucher for 365 apples from the sponsor "Aomori Ringo". It is supposed to provide her with apples for a whole year, but in case of Ueto it would probably not even last half a year. She is known for her love for apples and eats 2 to 3 apples a day. Her most joyful time to eat an apple is when she’s taking a nice relaxing bath in a bathtub.
"I’m very happy (to be an apple queen)! It’s like a dream-come-true." Further she said, "Apples are good for your health and your beauty. They even are great for diets. You should eat a lot of them!"
Fujisaki in Aomori is known for its very large and round, sweet and juicy apples known as "Fuji Apples". They are extremely popular among customers worldwide and of course Ueto loves them as well. "I want to have a love as sweet and pure as a Fuji apple." She said with a very bright smile. Regarding Valentine’s Day she commented, "I gave chocolate to my staff." Did she also give it to someone special? "I really would love to," she replied. Seems like she is still looking for her Fuji love.

Now that´s what I call a big apple hehe
Thanks for the translation, as always!
p.s. I always expected Aya to become Nattou Queen rather than apple queen ;p
Yeah, that apple is kind of huge, isn’t it? Almost as big as her head. I guess the Japanese apples do deserve the praise they’re getting…
She’s so adorable, as usual. Her hair is growing so long as well.
Thanks for translating!
