Last week i previewed the Miss Universe Japan contest, on the back of enjoying Miss Nippon / Miss Japan 2008 earlier in the year, which was held at Tokyo Big Site last night. The winner who will go on to compete in the Miss Universe 2008 competition on the 14th of July in Vietnam is the lovely Hiroko Mima, not my pick but then again i wasn`t asked and i wouldn’t complain if i had a Japanese Girlfriend that looked like her either!
Hiroko, a 22-year-old student from Tokushima, beat out nearly 4,000 applicants this year. The 173-cm-tall beauty is a keen high jumper and excels at Awa Odori dance.
Here’s Hiroko pictured on the left, with last years winner, Riyo Mori, who went on to win Miss Universe 2007.
All the best to Hiroko in the coming months as she prepares to bring to title back to Japan for the second year running. I’m more than happy to extend the offer of private English lessons if she feels she needs some work in that area. Come to think of it, if any of her other Friends in the top 10 would like to take me up on the offer i’m more than happy to obligue, as would Chris i’m sure!
For a few more photos head over to this years Miss Nippon / Miss Japan 2008 event here

I never seem to agree with the winners of these contests ….
If Steven Tyler of Aerosmith had a sex change this chick is what he would look like… bleh…
Agree or disagree with the judges choice, I’m more than happy to pick up the overload of students from the English lessons, I’ll even hold a group class if that’s what it takes.
Kind of cute.

She is growing on me a bit. But the best in Japan aaaaaaaah no!
She’s alright but she’s not real! lol, no but seriously, she is beautiful. I can see how she won.
Hey, if I were to see her do the Awa Odori dance, that’d be all I needed. I’d fall in love on the spot.
Beautiful. I was thinking about teaching english in Japan but I might be leaning more towards Korea. I used to teach in Thailand and am going to China soon.
