Although Miss Japan wins this year, I can’t help but consider this 50% of success was influenced by Kurara Chibana’s near-winning in 2006. If not for the publicity which Kurara had generated (with her personality and great intellect) without any recent major predecessor or influences since 2003’s Miss Japan who also made into the Top 5, I think Riyo Mori wouldn’t have the benefit of having the judges’ and audiences’ predisposed attention this year. I mean it’s all about karma and sub-conscious factors, which perhaps can be defined along the line of “subliminal influences” and “rippling effects”. Because people are still so charmed by Kurara Chibana’s endearing personality, linguistic and intellectual abilities from last year that they would naturally take a great interest in this year’s Miss Japan, and see if the standard is still there or even better. Although I am not in a position to comment about who is better, I could probably and boldly concur that Kurara Chibana is an embodiment of what a 21st century Asian female should be - Western and Asian knowledge, Asian women’s strong and independent personality, great sense of style and beauty, and not forgetting a burning passion in one’s life. After all, how many Miss Universes could we remember for their great personalities and beauty even years after they have won and passed on the crown? I don’t think there’s many to count on fingers. For a 1st Runner Up like Kurara Chibana who is still unforgotten in some audiences’ minds and still greatly appreciated a year after, I guess this could probably be seen as the next highest level a Miss Universe finalist can go. Because after the one year Miss Universe reign, what the ladies have got left are their personalities and individual qualities to help them in their future careers and lives, not the 250K crown or sash. More so, if we are more interested in a Miss Universe Runner-up instead of the actual winner, can we still say Kurara Chibana has lost? From an alternative point of view, perhaps by not winning the title has made Kurara truly and even more unforgettable in the audiences’ hearts. Although it is still early to say, but thoughout the next decade or so, when people mention Miss Japan or Miss Universe 2006, I’m pretty sure Kurara’s name will pop up followed by praises and appreciative comments. I’m not a Japanese. I’m not speaking for Japan. I’m just speaking from a human’s point of view. If years after 2006, we could still recall that charming and passionate Kurara Chibana in our hearts, perhaps that’s the kind of quality a Miss Universe titleholder should have. For Kurara to have embodied that quality, she not only has already surpassed the status of a Miss Universe winner but has also gone the way of truly being a gorgeous legend in people’s hearts. Yours truly, C’est Moi. KURARA CHIBANA is the winner of many people’s hearts in 2006 and still is today…

The only factor Miss Japan own is a feeling from heart - - Just non need to decorate from other way, "That's she!" this is called beauty. Even she suddently sing a japanese karaoke on stage, i also think she's the best and hottest that night. She is the one who break the standard from a typical beauty curse we follow over 30-40 years. You don't know how cool that she dare to used her langguage in the contest ( Even that i can't understand it.:>). That's bring out the spirit of she proud on her culture and country. Anyway, Miss Japan , I love you! To: David

I think there are no any rules to judge a beauty. The only factor Miss Japan own is a feeling from heart – - Just non need to decorate from other way, “That’s she!” this is called beauty.

(but please don't look at His hairstyle. ha. ha.) I thought this yr. there were at least 10 finalists who would be worthy titleholders. Another thing about Miss Japan besides the grand-standing ...... her quasi-model look. It was so forced and artificial. She definitely isn't a "look" but she forced it so much everytime she turned her body. sounds like U R quite a viewer. I went back through the history of the pageants and it brought back many memories. Shawn Weatherly must be my favorite Miss USA. Sorry to say she acted on Bay Watch for two yrs, but i knew she belonged on the screen. When it comes to Miss Universe, I like Miss Venezuela Alicia Machado Fajardo of '96. She was the one that got all the press about gaining weight. What a knock-out. Venezuela and Puerto Rico are consistently in the top five from what I have seen over the past 40 yrs. USA has won Miss Universe title 3 or 4 times. But again ...... look at where the pageant is most often held. As a matter of fact, in 1956 Miss Japan was crowned Miss Universe in Long Beach, Calif. No animosity about the WWII thing. You've got to look at the judges and see where they 're coming from each yr. This year the panel was overwhelmingly on the TV broadcasting side. (Did The Donald have anything to do with choosing the judges? I believe so!!) So they chose an aspiring "actress" as this year's queen. It all seems to follow.

You can take the Wikipedia version written by amateurs, or the Hollywood version starring Salma Hayek. Or you could look at Frida Kahlo's actual paintings, such as "The Suicide of Dorothy Hale," or the self portrait with her body split in two and held together with straps and nails (a reference to when she was impaled in a traffic accident), or maybe her self portrait where she's lying in a hospital bed, bleeding. When I studied for my degree in art history, my professors always said to ignore what painters said and did, and to look at what they painted.
