I got a bunch of friends together to do a test shooting with
Miss Universe Japan 2008 HIROKO MIMA,
SUNAO from Tony&Guy did the hair,
IZUMI did the make-up,
and KIOI designed the clothes herself!!!

The image theme for 2009 Miss Universe Japan was HOLLYWOOD 50’s,

the theme for Miss Universe Japan 2008 was FASHION ISLAND,
we shot the girls wearing summer clothes in the worst winter I have ever seen in Japan,
it was not cold,...it was VERY cold!!!
and I felt a bit sorry for the girls,...
but we managed to get the “summer look” we needed!

WELL DONE GIRLS!!
