2nd Hot Picks Miss Universe Japan 2017

1. TOKYO (Ayaka Koshiba)
2. AKITA (Tomoka Konno)
3. YAMAGATA (Kaori Kōyama)
4. CHIBA (Momoko Abe)
5. EHIME (Kanako Fukuoka)
6. OKINAWA (Erea Taira)
7. HYOGO (Akari Maeda)
8. NIIGATA (Haruka Komagata)
9. KANAGAWA (Erina Shirahama)
10. IBARAKI (Nanami Tomita)
11. KYOTO (Yukako Wakisaka)
12. TOTTORI (Honami Nishikawa)
13. MIE (Ayumi Matsui)
14. FUKUOKA (Nana Furushou)
15. NAGASAKI (Kino Nishimura)
16. TOKUSHIMA (Rina Miyoshi)


Miss Universe Japan is getting global attention! Thanks to Missosology, pageant fans -especially Miss Universe followers – from all over the world now have a better understanding of what is going on in the local pageant scene. Since the end of Japan’s golden age, when Ines Ligron left the franchise to silent chaose, no one really understood the direction that Miss Universe Japan was going to. Since 2013, when Missosology first covered the pageant, we have gotten to appreciate the new system of MUJ, which is pretty much unique and well-tuned to Japanese taste.

Our first hot picks, which was published last month, had received some mix reactions from thousands of our fans. It is quite understandable because most of those who posted their comments in our social media accounts only rely on the photos when basing their judgment. In this new hot picks, allow us to tell you something more about our new selection.

On first place, which many fans would probably agree, is Ayaka Koshiba who is representing the metropolitan capital of Tokyo. A Tokyo representative has never won the MUJ pageant, although the last Tokyo native to win the crown was Emiri Miyasaka back in 2009. With the current system, Tokyo came so close into winning when Hiromi Nishiuchi was declared 1st Runner-up in 2014. This year, Ayaka is determined more than ever to bring the crown to Tokyo, after winning the local title on her second try. This orthoptist is an epitome of a professional who is confidently beautiful and successful in her chosen career path.

In second place is the beautiful university student Tomoka Konno, who has loads of fans believing in her beauty and grace. Incidentally, she is representing Akita which is a prefecture known for their pretty women, referred to as Akita bijin. MUJ’s judging system tends to favor the cute or kawaii girls, which may give Tomoka a major edge over the other contetants.

Kaori Kōyama, who won the Miss Universe Yamagata title after failing to win the Miss Universe Chiba crown, went up in our ranking and is now in third place. Kaori is not your ordinary university student. She is said to be a good public speaker, and has a really strong personality. This student of international politics at Waseda University – an elite university in Tokyo – has the winning charisma, and if she wins on July 4th, the only issue will be how to make her standout despite being only 166 cm.

Chiba‘s Momoko Abe, our previous No.1 pick, dropped to fourth place. Pageant analysts think that if we take away her status of being a celebrity daughter, nothing much can be talked about Momoko aside from her beauty and tall height. Some would even argue that she is more suitable for Miss International than Miss Universe. Whatever the reasons may be, we believe that Momoko really needs to step up her game and be more outgoing. She needs to be more confident and vivacious in front of many people.

Completing our Top 5 is Kanako Fukuoka, representing Ehime. In order to join Miss Universe Japan, Kanako had to postpone her residence training to become a licensed physician in Japan. If she wins the title, it will be another year of delaying her plan of becoming a full-fledged doctor. Will the sacrifice be worth it?

To have credibility of this ranking you have to add Fukui. If you don't add Mayuka Takai it is a total robbery! :)>-

Miss Fukui

I like this styling :=p

You like the styling and I love the whole package! She is the one! Mark my words if you train this girl with a good coach she will do wonders, like Honey Lee did for South Korea! Sorry but for me the top 5 should have been in this order in 2007: Honey Lee 1st or 2nd Riyo Mori 2nd but I am ok with her winning her evening gown walk was one of the best I have ever seen! Venezuela's 3rd place was right and than Brazil or Brazil in 3rd and Venezuela in 4th. I know I was rooting for Natália Guimarães one of our best Queens ever, but to be honest, even I been Brazilian I saw the show and I think this should be her position. But Angola that year should be in the top 5 instead of USA that I am sure!


After you mentioned her, she is a catch. But I think the exquisite beauty of Miss Niigata would produce a Honey Lee/Kurara Chibana contender for Miss Universe. She appears to be genuine and really nice. Another plus. A good coach as you mentioned would produce Japan's third Miss Universe. Miss Fukui is a contender but one I can see in other pageants, most particularly Miss World or Miss Earth. She'll definitely win that if she's as intelligent and mature as she looks.

I AM SO ENGAGE IN THIS EDITION OF THE MISS UNIVERSE PAGEANT, MORE THAN I BEING IN AWHILE. A LOT OF COUNTRIES HAVE INTRIGUE ME WITH WHO IS GOING TO REPRESENT THEM BECAUSE THE MS. UNIVERSE PAGEANT SEEMS TO BE SO OPEN FOR ANY COUNTRY TO WIN IT MORE NOW THAN EVER. JAPAN STUMBLED LAST YEAR AFTER THE STUNNING ARIANA GAVE UP HER CROWN. BUT THIS YEAR THEY CAN GET IT RIGHT AND BE AT THE TOP ONCE AGAIN IN MISS UNIVERSE.
I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THAT "IT FACTOR", THE GIRLS THAT YOU SIMPLY CANNOT TAKE YOUR EYES OFF. YOU KNOW THEY ARE WINNERS BECAUSE THEY SHOW IT AND IS OBVIOUS. A BEAUTY PAGEANT IS ALWAYS ABOUT THE FACE TO ME, AND IF THAT FACE IS COMPLEMENTED BY INTELLIGENCE, POISE, ELEGANCE, AND BEING REGAL. YOU GOT ME.
TO ME THE CHOICES ARE:
1. NIIGATA: THIS WOMEN HAS THE IT FACTOR IN SPADES, AND TO ME SHE HAS THE FACE OF THE PAGEANT, I THINK JAPAN WILL HAVE A WINNER THAT CAN WIN THE MS. UNIVERSE CROWN. I SIMPLY CANNOT KEEP ME EYES OFF HER. HOPEFULLY SHE PERFORMS WELL ON THE FINAL NIGHT.
2. AKITA: SHE ALSO HAS A BEAUTIFUL FACE AND A SWEET GIRL NEXT DOOR FACTOR THAT YOU JUST WANT TO HUG HER AND KEEPER AS A TEDDY BEAR LOL. I THINK HER WEAKNESS IS HER HEIGHT, AND SO FAR MOST COUNTRIES HAVE CROWNED WOMEN WHO ARE 5'8 OR TALLER . SO SHE MIGHT BE OVER SHADOW. BUT THAT FACE AND SWEETNESS.
3. IBARAKI: SHE IS VERY TOP MODEL AND REGAL. AND SHE HAS A PRETTY FACE. BUT SHE CAN SEEM OR LOOK COLD OR ALOOF WHICH IS HER WEAKNESS.

THESE ARE THE TOP 3 FOR ME

3rd Hot Picks Miss Universe Japan 2017


Chinzanso Hotel in Tokyo is now home to 46 of Japan’s most desirable women as one of them will soon be crowned as the country’s delegate to this year’s Miss Universe competition. With barely two weeks to go before the finals, all of the delegates undergo intensive training and rehearsals in preparation for the big night on July 4th. Now that the tension is starting to heat up, let’s get to know the 16 delegates whom we believe have the shot to win the crown.

1. YAMAGATA (Kaori Kōyama)

2. EHIME (Kanako Fukuoka)

3. TOKYO (Ayaka Koshiba)

4. KYOTO (Yukako Wakisaka)

5. AKITA (Tomoka Konno)

6. KANAGAWA (Erina Shirahama)

7. HYOGO (Akari Maeda)

8. FUKUOKA (Nana Furushou)

9. CHIBA (Momoko Abe)

10. OKINAWA (Erea Taira)

11. NIIGATA (Haruka Komagata)

12. TOKUSHIMA (Rina Miyoshi)

13. SHIMANE (Sayaka Fujimoto)

14. NAGANO (Natsuki Konishi)

15. FUKUI (Mayuka Takai)

16. HOKKAIDO (Shihori Matsui)

Day two after the arrival of all delegates in Tokyo, we believe that Yamagata‘s Kaori Kōyama is the one to beat at this year’s competition. MUJ needs to realize that the current trend in IMG is to look for a woman of substance. Take a look at their winners at Miss USA for the past two years, and how they ignored the likes of Lauren York (Miss Nevada) at this year’s competition, and even Venezuela’s Mariam Habach during last January’s 65th Miss Universe contest. With Kaori’s intelligence, foreign language proficiency, and the ability to effectively relay her opinion on world issues (she is a international politics major at Waseda University), she may be Japan’s brightest hope for a Top 5 spot without the need of a controversial story.

Meanwhile, Ehime‘s Kanako Fukuoka is gaining grounds and is currently in second place. In fact, this aspiring medical practitioner is leading the official online voting (MUJ insists that it does not have any effect on the judging) which simply means that she has legions of fans rooting for her nationwide. Her catwalk skills seems good enough, too. Since 2013, the island of Shikoku – Kagawa, Tokushima, Ehime and Kochi – has earned a slot in the MUJ Top 5, save for 2014. If Kanako makes it to the Top 5, it will be Ehime’s second time. Only Tokushima has never made into the first cut of MUJ since the current pageant format was implemented in 2013.

Ayaka Koshiba of Tokyo, who was our 2nd Hot Picks leader, dropped to third place. Looks like Ayaka is really struggling to earn the approval of MUJ as she is way behind in terms of catwalk, speaking skills and overall standing during the pre-training camp. However, she is carrying the “Tokyo” sash so she is still in an advantageous position to be favored by the judges come finals night. Since 2014, Tokyo has consistently made it to the first cut, and even had a back-to-back Top 5 finish in 2014 and 2015.

Following next at fourth place is Yukako Wakisaka, who is representing Kyoto. The old capital of Japan has been successful in the MUJ-sanctioned Mister Japan contest – having won the title twice since 2013 – but at Miss Universe Japan, they still have to produce a Top 5 placer. There is something about Yukako that we appreciate. She is harworking, patient and willing to learn to better herself up. Miss Universe Japan 2012 Ayako Hara, who acted as her mentor at Miss Universe Kyoto 2017, has done a wonderful job! We believe, though, that she needs to be more consistent with her poses, and does not need to enforce an artificial fierce look (like in the photo below). She looks better when she is more natural and sweet looking.

And rounding up our Top 5 is Miss Akita, Tomoka Konno. Tomoka is a mystery. Yes, she is very popular in Missosology because of her gorgeous face and youthful vibe. However, we barely know anything about her, and that is a massive failure in terms of promoting herself to the public. If someone wants to become Miss Universe, self-promotion is essential because not everyone has the luxury to dig into your closet , and to find a story worth sharing. Needless to say, Tomoka’s gorgeous face won’t be good enough to make her a great Miss Universe delegate. In Japan, she may do well as a kawaii idol or whatnot, but we had already seen a lot of her type succeeding at AKB 48 or even the old-time fave Morning Musume. So Tomoka, you have a very strong fan base at Missosology, so better step up your game and be more visible.

So far, that is are our Top 5. Kanagawa, Hyogo and Fukuoka are slowly catching up. Chiba and Okinawa are still holding on to be part of our Top 10, while Niigata and Tokushima are in the 11th and 12th position. We are glad to have Shimane back on the list while newcomers from Nagano, Fukui and Hokkaido are now part of our hot picks for the very first time. We will try to find ways on how these girls will intermingle with each other via their social media accounts, and evaluate them based on visibility, quality of their posts and ability to interact with their fans.

Despite the fact that the MUJ finals is fast approaching, fans from all over the world are at loss about the contestants. Many are complaining why there is no single site where the names and photos of all the delegates can be easily available. Even the publicized photos on MUJ’s official Facebook account have no names of the delegates, which made us think that these girls are being treated like maguro who are being sold in Tsukiji market. Pictures are pictures, but without their respective names, we feel that it makes the ladies look no different than animals.

Furthermore, with a system where the girls are locked up in a hotel for their so-called “beauty camp” and with no public viewing, Miss Universe Japan still needs to learn a lot from the Philippines, Thailand and even Indonesia. These Southeast Asian nations have already surpassed Japan’s performance in recent years, thanks to the fans who have been actively involved in promoting their national brand. Needless to say, these countries also have strong presence at Missosology, which shows how serious they are when it comes to supporting their queens. Miss Universe Japan is a sought after title in this wonderful country, so we hope to see positive changes to happen, and make the contest more appealing to the masses.

So, what do you think of our third hot picks? Tell us if there is someone you may want to add or delete from this list and we will be very glad to research on them. See you on our next hot picks!

Day two after the arrival of all delegates in Tokyo, we believe that Yamagata‘s Kaori Kōyama is the one to beat at this year’s competition. MUJ needs to realize that the current trend in IMG is to look for a woman of substance. Take a look at their winners at Miss USA for the past two years, and how they ignored the likes of Lauren York (Miss Nevada) at this year’s competition, and even Venezuela’s Mariam Habach during last January’s 65th Miss Universe contest. With Kaori’s intelligence, foreign language proficiency, and the ability to effectively relay her opinion on world issues (she is a international politics major at Waseda University), she may be Japan’s brightest hope for a Top 5 spot without the need of a controversial story.

Bae is #1. Called it two months back.
She has the beauty to take the crown, and according to the description, the intelligence.
Only thing I worry about with her is her height.

I like the atmosphere of Fukui, but her body is not good.

This year's MUJ will have a new and totally different format.

All the 47 delegates will be paired against one of their own (for example Tokyo VS Osaka) for a speech showdown, and only one of the two will proceed to the next round!

That means, only half of the girls will continue to move on to the dance and swimsuit round! Yes, they will dance in bikini!!!
Once again, they will show up in pairs, dance a little bit, and then walk. Only one of the two will pass, while the other one will fail.

So that means, another half will be eliminated, while the next 11 or 12 girls will compete in evening gown.

From there, only the Top 5 will go on to answer the judges' question.

I think for MUJ, it is pretty innovative and 1000% more exciting than the ancient style of Bb Pilipinas, although the latter will still produce better result than the former. The problem now is the execution. Girls are now close to slitting their rival's throat, and there is no bond of sisterhood being promoted at all. It's about competition, rivalry, being better than the other and whatnot. It's a battle of the fittest! A real "hunger game" or in the original Japanese- "BATTLE ROYALE"!!!

Okay, for making reference to Shuya, Mitsuko, Shinji, Noriko and gang, I will now reserve judgement until the competition. :%))

Walk - Okinawa,Ibaraki,Oita,Kyoto,Ehime,Fukuoka,Gunma,Yamagata

Dance - Hiroshima,Kanagawa etc.. (I could not confirm everything.)

Several videos have been released, but my impression is as above.

Niigata.. :%(( :%((




I think it is more important to choose a reasonable winner than to change the selection method.
I hope Xamurai will join the judges.
