Not that i went but i did do a bit of sniffing around this morning and found out Emily Miyasaka has been crowned Miss Universe Japan 2009 …. and will represent Japan in the Miss Universe contest later in the year.

There’s a few more photos on the official MUJ website where i found the news.
Chinatsu Wakatsuki (若槻千夏) is a popular Japanese Gravure idol, actress, former race queen and singer. She is not to be confused with the AV star of the same name and spelling.
Chinatsu who’s real name is Kurihara Chiharu (栗原千春) was born on May 28th, 1984 Yoshimimachi, in Hiki-gun, Saitama, Japan

After a few early setbacks, namely auditioning for Morning Musume in 2000 but did not make it, Chinatsu went on to make her official debut in 2001 in magazines, variety programs and Gravure websites … this is when she went the name change.
