Yesterday we shot at JIL Studio with photographer Josh, all day, with 5 finalists, Kurara and Chie Konishiki.

The finalists were Yu Sato, Reiko Iida, Sakura, Maiko and Rei.

Today 5 finalists will be having a walking class with Jade, our official walking teacher. They are Ako, Rio, Noriko, Sakura and Akiko. All of them are fluent in English. At Miss Universe nobody will speak Japanese, also most of our trainers only speak in English during the classes to prepare the finalists for Miss Universe.

Also the next make-up class with Aki, Kurara’s make-up artist, will be given in priority to the girls who will be tanned. White skin is not attractive outside of Japan….. and neither in Japan for girls with a fashion sense.

Japanese translation will follow…
