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.

This years pageant takes place on May 10 and the field has been narrowed down to the top 21 finalists, all hoping to follow in the footsteps of last years winner Hiroko Mima.
Preparation for this years event has been as tough as always, even a spot of Jiu-Jitsu to help whip the girls into shape.
It’s times like these i wish i was a Jiu-Jitsu instructor.

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
