Just watched Miss Universe 2007 and Japan won.
Brazil was 1st runner up.
-
It was such a shock! I wasn't even expecting her to make it to the top 10. I was really expecting Brazil to win!
-
I can't believe I missed it! But I'm happy Japan won..though Miss Korea looked soo pretty. :wub:
-
I didn't even know that they still held this pageant. XD Was just flipping through the channels and managed to catch the final 10 minutes of it. Japan AND Korea were in the final 5! Asians represent!!! :rockon:
-
I was gonna watch, but then didn't feel like it. lol I went through some of the pics and didn't think any of them looked that good. The only one I remember liking was Miss Angola.
-
Fucking SWEET!
-
WOot Gratz to Japan! I was surprised to see her win as well >.<.
I also didnt find many of them looking that good. I liked Vanessa Minnillo more than most of the contestants XD.
-
I liked her "national costume" design. I wonder if the Korean or Indian designs were as revealing.
Hey, it worked!
I guess she can open that dance studio now.
-
LMAO I forgot all about it. WHOA she's HOT!
What was the controversy? Banned dresses wtf?
-
Hail Japan! It's about time a Japanese person won :angry:
-
she is not really that hot in my view
-
Well I've seen better.
I think she deserved to win out of all the people there though.
Wow. She's 5'9". That's two inches taller than me. Heh, I'm probably the height of the average Japanese guy.
-
I actually give a little w00t when I saw it on the news XD I've always seen Japan come close but never actually win it. She's quite pretty too, although I've never seen any of the other contestants so I can't say if it was the right decision. Although I did see Miss America fall on her ass :lol:
-

lol I don't know, quite a few of them looked pretty hot to me. Didn't watch it either though. I'm not really interested in watching this kind of stuff.
Looks aren't the only thing that's judged in these things so I can't really make an actual opinion on it since I didn't see it. I did hear about miss USA falling on her ass though XD
It's actually kinda surprising hearing about an Asian person winning.
-
Nice to see A Japanese person winning these competitions. Aren't them pretty much dominated by South-Americans in recent years?
The Finnish candidate was kinda sore loser stating that results were "fixed" :D
-
wow. It is nice that an Asian win it this time!
-

LMAO! It finally happened. Somebody actually fell. Whenever i watch pageants i anticipate someone falling but it never happens. She's a trooper though, got right back up kept her smile on. I feel sorry for her though because she's gonna be remembered as the one who busted her @$$! Congrats to Japan!
-
Congrats! She not that bad and yeah, I'll hit on her.
-
A worthy winner in my opinion. :D
-
I didn't watch it but she's certainly hot enough to win it, so good for her.
-
Yeah she's not as pretty though. I rofl'd at miss usa slipping on her ass. anyone catch that?
-
Antigua and Barbuda's is very pretty.
-
The fall of the USA!

I'm really glad Miss Japan won! :wub: She's absolutely stunning, and I liked her answers to the questions too, so she was the most deserving to win that. I kind of knew Brazil wouldn't win, they wanted something 'different' this time. She was beautiful too, but I'm kind of sick of seeing faces like that win, haha.
Miss USA got boo-ed as well during the Q&A portion XD
-
The fall of the USA!
To be fair she's got some spring in that ass! Got right back up, like Tigger! XD
-
Miss USA got boo-ed as well during the Q&A portion XD
What did she answer? :O Something about the world peace? :D
-

Some people still aren't sure if they were booing HER (for falling down and such because she 'disgraced' her country, yadda yadda) or if they're booing America.
-
I didnt see the Q&A. Did miss japan know how to speak english?
-
From the interview (the link in the first post), she can speak English very well.
Very glad, Miss Japan and Miss Korea are in top five. :otomerika:
Asia is the best paradise to produce ... (fill up yourself)
-
O wow I take that back about her not being so pretty. and I love her accent! it kinda reminds me of a south american accent though
-
this is really shocking......and i'm very happy about this..... yeahh this year is asian pride.... she really inspiring me... really she has that confidents... no doubt she can win it.....
-
Congrats to Miss Japan!
At first I felt sorry about Miss USA but then again, maybe not since they don't seem to care what the rest of the world thinks of them anyway!
-
:lol: @ Zuleyka

"NO WAY I'M GIVING THE CROWN TO J00 B!TCH!11ONE *drops crown*"
I like Kurara Chibana better though. XD But Miss Japan 2007, Mika Hagi doesn't look hot, more like the typical Japanese cute. :) So I'm kind of glad Riyo Mori wins, an Asian representative is good! :w00t:
-
Mexico hating on us. Like usual.
-
lol eh, it happens.
It's okay if she fell on her ass and got booed, I still find miss USA to be quite pretty/hot! :heart:

-

-
Congrats to Miss Japan!

XD at first i laugh of miss USA but then i think OMG how she stand up so quickly, waht a pro!.
Anyway, i find miss Japan so sexy and full of acctitude, i mean i love the way she say HOLA MEXICO without any funny acent or anything, she sound like a real latin girl O_O that was just amazing. And the dress of samurai-ninja she wore was *o* hot, hot, hot like ai-chan
-
Yup great news about Miss Japan. Congrats to her!!!!
About the fall of Miss USA, I think she got up pretty gracefully and walked up confidently beyond that....... BUT it was hilarious and i agree she has some springs up her ass to get up back immediately. Also glad that it happened to USA, they kinda deserve that!
-
Is that really true the Japanese woman named Ryo Mori won Miss Universe 2007 ?
I'm really glad to hear that.......... :otomerika:
-
^^ no, sorry... in fact, the one who won is miss Nigeria, and her name is Amfalala Ubuntukwala...
But, we just love to make fake threads like this one all the time... it's fun!
:roll:

TOKYO -- Less than a month after being crowned Miss Universe, Riyo Mori is hoping to land another job — a role on the NBC sci-fi series "Heroes."
"As soon as I won Miss Universe I had this big chance," Mori said in an interview Monday. "I've never acted before. I went to the casting audition and read a script in English and Japanese, and they said it was really good. So I hope I can be in the show."
Mori said the role of Yaeko would be a love interest for one of the main characters on "Heroes."
The 20-year-old dancer won the 2007 Miss Universe contest in Mexico City last month. The only other time Japan has won the pageant was in 1959, when Akiko Kojima became the first Miss Universe from Asia.
"I'm only here for a week, then it's back to New York" and a tour around the world, Mori said.
"It's funny because I've never been surrounded by so many people, so many cameras," she said. "Japanese people never cared about beauty pageants before. But this is a huge thing in Japan now."
Mori said she's hoping to devote herself to her new role — which includes being a spokeswoman for AIDS issues.
Mori, who has been dancing since she was 4, said she was encouraged to enter the competition by her grandmother.
"I thought I needed something for my life, something different," she said. "Miss Universe isn't all about beauty. It's about serving people, too."
Mori, who lived in Canada for three years and studied classical ballet, said her goal after finishing her year as Miss Universe is to open a dance school. Her mother was also a dancer.
She said the long years she spent training in dance helped build her character, and that appealed to the judges.
"I think I have a samurai soul," she said. "I'm very patient, and I can serve others."

Punters snub Miss Universe for lacking Japanese 'cuteness'
Japan has its own Miss Universe for the first time in almost half a century, but the average Japanese salaryman is hardly pleased as the winner doesn't look "Japanese" enough, according to Shukan Bunshun (6/14).
Riyo Mori, Japan's new Miss Universe, is certainly well-proportioned courtesy of practicing dance since the age of 4, but the 20-year-old has hardly tickled the fancy of the demographic most expected to be excited by her title win."One sports newspaper even ran of photo of the Thai representative in the belief that it was Mori," a sports newspaper editor tells Shukan Bunshun.

Miss Universe can go work internationally with her modern women focus. Leave local Japanese market to idols. Cuteness rules. Actually. C-ute rules.
-
-
finally.....now the world will admit that japanese chicks ARE hot...... :pimp: :pimp:
-
Glad she won ^__^ cause she's pretty... XD Love the national cosume :wub:
-
Saw here on last weeks SmapxSmap and she was looking FOINE! She's taller then your average japanese girl, she's about as tall as Kimutaku. Hot none the less.
-
And where's the official thread for her on this forum? :shakeit:
;)
-
I think Miss Japan 2006 deserved the title a lot more than Riyo Mori. Kurara Chibana was robbed big time!
-
So anybody gonna watch the new reality show, Pageant Place, which will appear on MTV? Riyo Mori is the only reason why I want to watch it. I'm like, in love with her accent. :wub: I've loved the little promo commercials I've seen of the show, especially the one where she talks :D
-
Haha modesta I saw that awhile ago and she's probably the only reason I'll watch it too, well at least the first episode XD.
