The 21st Japan Best Jewelry Wearer Awards Ceremony was held at Tokyo Big Sight recently, with the prime minister's wife, Miyuki Hatoyama, among the winners.
Sponsored by the Japan Jewelry Association, the awards go to celebrities who are "the most brilliant," "who look their best wearing jewelry" and "who want to wear jewelry in the future too."
Awards were given to women in various age groups. Hatoyama received the Special Prize this year. Other winners were Saki Fukuda, 19, in the teen category, Becky, 25, (20s category), Arisa Mizuki, 33 (30s category), Nene Otsuka, 41 (40s), Keiko Toda, 52 (50s) and Mariko Takahashi, 60 (seniors).

The Prime ministers wife, seriously?

What makes a brilliant celebrity in Japan?
And how do you measure someone's desire to wear jewelry in the future? Do they just ask and whoever says "yes" quickest is the winner?
Hehe. She is the most deserving of the "Special" Prize. I certainly think she's "Special"!

How does one wear jewellery well? Is it a skill? Or is this just a kind of beauty contest?

One can only wonder how they judged this.
Qualification:
“who want to wear jewelry in the future too.”
I mean, how do you really know if someone wants to wear jewelry??

"best jewelry wearers"
Come on, give us a break... This is just so sad, shallow and fake. Haven't they got anything better to do than dream up these pathetic awards?

Is there no end to these awards?

You know, if I didn`t know better, I would swear all these awards are just a cover for promotional activity. But surely not...

No TK, they dont. There arent any real problems in Japan. Why worry - this is the reason Japanese work and sacrifice.

This is an ancient marketing technique and why do the people get fooled by it? These ladies should stay at home, make the home warm and cozy for the family, rather than run a around all kinds of silly, odd things. Pm's wife is ok; atleast she has taste and maintains a beautiful home.
Who is behind the Becky promotion? Becky promotes, school bags, some hair products, some jewelry, electronics. No honestly, there are some very beautiful girls you can meet on the streets. Maybe give others an opportunity Betty promoter?
