Miss Magazine 2008
Here are some bonus pictures from the final around of this year’s Miss Magazine gravure idol contest (ミスマガジン美少女コンテスト). Once again the event took place at the Sunshine City fountain plaza (サンシャイン噴水広場) in Tokyo’s Ikebukuro district. The grand prize went to 15 year old Nanami Sakuraba (桜庭ななみ) from Kagoshima Precture, but basically everyone walked away a winner, as making it to the final will help the girls greatly in Japanese showbiz further on down the road.
