Emily Miyasaka is beautiful!
She was wearing one of the hats I had designed for the performance!

Richard

Well done! That hat is the best part of her outfit.

She needs to eat a bit more. Them ribs are pokin’ out a bit.

Beauty pageants almost always look boring to me, even if they’re Japanese. They can’t have too much personality since they’re supposed to appeal to as many people as possible.

And yes, she should eat more.

Better than last year, yeah. But still. I can pick out prettier girls on my daily walk through Shinjuku.

She is so un-Japanese looking, more Phillipino or Western-looking, totally bogus

ChinpokoHead

Huh?
What the fuck is “Japanese looking”? You mean Japanese all looks like Lucy Liu? Huh
Japanese are hybrids of old mongoloid and new mongoloid.
This kind of face is often seen in Japan.

Lucy Liu is not Japanese.

A Japanese-looking woman is someone who looks distinctively Japanese. She doesn’t look that way to me (not that it really matters).

Nick

philipino-japanese star. not very japanese
圭市

She is not so beautiful, and she lacks the charming japanese look. She looks like a generic thai wearing make-up. I see prettier girls than her everyday when I’m home
Ricky

Much hotter on her blog than from those promoshots
Aaron

The level of sour grapes in the above comments are astounding (aside from the first poster who made the hat).

“charming japanese look”, that slays me!
tommy

Its like she is not japanese, this fucking french old lady wants to make japanese girls look like western girls …

RMilner

That’s very rude.

The milliner made a hat she considered stylish and it was chosen by the model.

OsakaGuy

Like any of you would sleep in the bathtub.
Garamon

She does look a bit non-Japanese I think. She’s pretty though, but I like the girl with the marriage prep bra more.
Ikunochan

After looking at her website, I would agree that she looks much prettier when not slathered in make-up.
tokyojesusfist

I was referring to her appearance, not her actual personality. I meant that beauty pageants always look very generic (for example, Rena Tanaka is very pretty, but she could never be a beauty pageant because she just doesn’t fit the mold).
