None of these ladies would make my list.

Best Luxist, maybe. Nao Matsushita the hottest I think.

You are right pushlover, that a smile would have done wonders. In my mind they are NOT models, but still good looking women.

One of these things is not like the other. Hint: sponsor is lux.

I think the photographer who took the picture of the chicks in bikinis yesterday was a tad bit luckier....just my opinion.

most attractive?? you`re having a laugh Lux, as you can much better chop just walking down the street in 30 seconds.

Three of them look like they have come out of rehearsals at Simon Cabaret in Thailand, a place where the sun really shines....

Can someone more up-to-speed on Japanese pop culture tell me which is more prestigious: The Lux Shine Award; The Beauty Week Award; or, the Best Jeanist?
What a silly country -- that there are these kinds of "awards" virtually everyday, and that they get huge press coverage.

Well, my 'Poll' doesn't think they're all that attractive.
I move for a recount.

Seriously, how much do they each get to participate? A million yen? 2? 5?
