Visitors will be able to drop in to each store to experience each entrepreneur’s unique craft – be it to learn how to style a kimono in a unique way or see how traditional Japanese sweets “wagashi” are given with a modern twist, while learning about their stories and exploring the stores as if they were in Tokyo. With the release of the “BEYOND THE STADIUM” film, SK-II has also built a virtual shopping street– #CHANGEDESTINY STREET within SK-II CITY to feature the stores of these women entrepreneurs in Tokyo. “BEYOND THE STADIUM” features the stories of Olympic athletes – gymnast Simone Biles, swimmer LiuXiang, table tennis player Ishikawa Kasumi, badminton player Misaki Matsutomo and surfer Mahina Maeda as well as women entrepreneurs and small-business owners in Tokyo – Mai Odajima, owner of a kimono store “KIEN”, Reika Yasuhara, owner of a Japanese ‘wagashi’ confectionary “DAISANMANENDOU HANARE”, Ai Hashimoto, owner of a flower shop “ON FLOWERS”, Naoko Yoneyama, owner of a Japanese rice ball store “NY CAFÉ” as well Natsuko Shiraki, owner of an ethical jewelry store “ HASUNA”. Narrated by Kaori Momoi, award-winning actress and SK-II’s longest-standing brand ambassador, “BEYOND THE STADIUM” juxtaposes struggles faced by Olympic athletes in pursuing their dreams with the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs and small business owners in Tokyo over the past year which has been amplified by the lack of anticipated visitors for the upcoming Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. It celebrates the strength and resilience of women-owned businesses and entrepreneurs who are taking destiny in their own hands – keeping the business of their dreams alive in these challenging times.

“BEYOND THE STADIUM” provides a thought-provoking look into fight that goes on beyond the Stadiums in Tokyo. 22% of women in Japan aspire to own their own businesses but only 5.3% of businesses are owned by women. Employed Japanese women who are own-account workers are among the lowest within the G7 countries (4.4%), and significantly below the OECD average. 1 This adds to a preexisting difficult climate in Japan for women entrepreneurs. 87% of women business owners globally have been adversely affected by the pandemic. The pandemic has been a tough set-back for small businesses globally and especially in Japan with the postponement of the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. Could Ishak be next on the list, or is he the man responsible? Tracking down his more ‘unsavoury’ allies, Serena is shocked to encounter a familiar face: that of her grieving ex-partner, former Malaysian ICD officer Megat Jamil (Bront Palarae).SINGAPORE /PRNewswire/ - Furthering its commitment towards its brand purpose #CHANGEDESTINY, global prestige skincare brand SK-II returns with its last SK-II STUDIO™ film for the year – “BEYOND THE STADIUM”, shining a much-needed spotlight on a community which has been highly impacted by the pandemic – women-owned small businesses and entrepreneurs in Tokyo. As Serena and Heri work together to catch the killer, their inquiries lead them to industrialist/kingpin Datuk Ishak Hassan (Wan Hanafi Su), whose prominent family and known associates all have some connection to the victims. Seeking answers, Heri finds a way to insert himself into the Malaysian investigation. Meanwhile, in Jakarta, for ICD Lieutenant Heriyanto Salim (Ario Bayu), the case turns personal when his brother is found murdered in similar circumstances. Called in to investigate, Singaporean International Crimes Division (ICD) officer Serena Teo (Rebecca Lim) takes charge of a case across the border where a family has been slaughtered aboard a luxury yacht in Johor.
