TOKYO —

Actress Yoshino Kimura, 32, and Beijing Olympic gold medalist swimmer Kosuke Kitajima, 26, will host the “SkyPerfect TV! Awards 2008” on Nov 25. The awards are given for the best movies and dramas broadcast on its satellite network. TV presenter Tomoaki Ogura, 61, will also co-host the award ceremony.

Kimura, who appeared at a promotional event for the awards in a sexy dress, said, “I would like to wear a dress which will make people enjoy the awards even more.” Asked about his role as a presenter, Kitajima said, “I’ve always been on the receiving end of prizes. I feel strange now that I’m giving people prizes.”

Dress looks nice on her. Great to see him enjoying himself, retiring at the top of his game and crushing the competition. Nothing like going out on top!
