Behold Tokyo’s Cutest JK – 2014

jk-best

The selection of Kanto’s cutest gyaru-type first year high schooler of 2014 has managed to inflame the passions of not only Japan but also Taiwan and China too it would seem – though unfortunately not in the way which was perhaps intended.

The winning gyaru Maaya, who managed to find her way back to the critical eyes of her homeland by a Japanese translation of a Chinese report about a Taiwanese article, such is the regional import of the topic:

Japanese themselves are predictably nonplussed, at least about the choice of gyaru or the need to rank them in the first place:

“Gross.”

“You must be kidding…”

“Those eyes.”

“She looks foreign!”

“Not some half!”

“I’ve seen better looking AV stars.”

“What happened to her face?”

“How did she end up winning now…”

“This is a Filipina, right?”

“Can we just eject Tokyo from Japan now please.”

“Even Kyari is ugly without makeup, but this one looks like this I dread to think what she looks like without it.”

“Why the hell are the Taiwanese media reporting this…”

“What were their cuteness criteria…”
