Ryoko Yonekura, 34, shows off her award for Party Girl of the Year 2009. The former ballet dancer and TV actress turned up in a sparkly number and took the time to dispense some party advice of her own just in time for the festive season. “Don’t be shy. Just let yourself go and have a good time,” she suggested.

    I always had wondered why the Japanese women are so confused with their role in contemporary Japanese society. Having above "role models" and facing the traditional expectations of Japanese men (and their own mothers) explains a lot about their diremption.

    In Japan everyone is a winner no matter how lame the prize.

    Just like in kindergarten, everybody gets a prize so nobody cries. Better for the self esteem that way.

    Having the above role models is quality.

    does anyone really think these awards are for pats on the back, more like promotions for their upcoming tv shows, albums, etc.
