00:00 The actually day of Tokyo Girls Collection. There has been a long queue 5 hours before starting time (!!)
0:40 Cheesie and Shiori went to model’s changing room to meet their respective models. Shiori’s model is a new comer model Matuyama Aya, while Cheesie’s model is Korean model HENA.
1:36 The other three representative (who got eliminated) also came to support in their best outfit.
2:50 There are 19 top fashion brands and a total of 99 models participating in this season’s TGC, which team is Sherbet garden. (They show Hasegawa Jun and Fujii Lena omg)
3:13 Cheesie and Shiori doing a final check on their models. At 4:30 PM, the final challenge for Cheesie and Shiori finally started.
4:00 HENA who is wearing A coordinate (Cheesie’s) walks on stage. (OMG they were playing my fav Capsule’s new long as background music i am too happy). The theme is feminine girly and the special part of the outfit is the sexy back part. Aya wears coordinate B (Shiori’s) and the point of this outfit is the natural feel and a big bag that makes you wanna go out and have fun.
5:20 Voting starts 5PM sharp. Live audience would vote for their favorite outfit using their cell phones.
6:00 Amandine, Usagi Pyon and Woyuki all prefers coordinate A. There it shows interview of random girls at the event voting for their preferred outfit. One of them comments that she prefers outfit A because of the soft material and color chosen. Another says she prefers B, while A is cute, it depends on the person who wears it (whether she is confident of her own body.)
6:47 AT 6 PM, voting ends. Shiori and Cheesie were waiting in the room. They were just waiting for ONE phone call to the final result who will decide the ultimate winner.
(At that time everybody, including the directors and the whole filming crew were super nervous. The whole room was dead quiet to the point it was a bit morbid. I think they were even more nervous than us wtf. Shiori and i tried to crack jokes but nobody laughs FOL. I said the whole ambience feels like we’re waiting outside an emergency room for the doctor to walk out and tell us if the patient is dead or alive. )
7:20 THE phone call came. Kawaii TV staff announces that the result is out. (wa as typing this i feel all nervous again LOLOL almost cannot breathe).
7:30 “And the winner is….” (wa and then pause for damn long until my heart almost disappeared)
7:48 “Japan representative Kumakura Shiori”
(Actually i sort of had a feeling that i would lose in the last challenge that’s why i wasn’t shocked or so, after all the chance is really 50/50.
Even before that Shiori and i keep telling each other to just have fun at the event because the outfit is already chosen and there really isn’t anything else we could do or improve our chances of winning.)
8:00 Cheesie tells Shiori “Now you are the most Kawaii in the world!”. Shiori got 324 votes and Cheesie got 306 votes.
(Lost by 18 votes fml.
Actually at first i only teared a little because too emotional and because director Makita san was also tearing WHILE announcing the winner WTF. But then after Shiori left the room, another director Miyaoka san who is closer to my team came in, kneeled down with his camera and wanted to interview me about my feelings after losing the final challenge. At first i was ok wan, THEN HE STARTED TEARING while asking me question so suddenly i found myself sobbing like a stupid moron WTF.
Remember the first kawaii TV filming during Foruchizu meet up?? Lie and Maiko started crying and then we totally expect it and started tearing out of… shock wtf.
This time also everyone around us seemed to be more emotional than we actually were FOL.)
9:30 Shiori was very nervous before the finale, but there’s a surprise waiting for her back stage. Tsuchiya Anna and Hasegawa Jun (!!!!!!!) appeared and gave her encouragement.
10:45 It was 9:30PM and was finally Shiori’s runway debut!
12:14 Shiori walked for 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
12: 45 Fumi sensei told Shiori that this is one of her dreams come true, and she has grabbed it well with both her hands.
13:21 Shiori comments that she hardly ever cries , and this is the first time she cries so much in her life until her tear ducts almost damaged lol. In the end she comments that this would definitely , even maybe not immediate, a change to her life in a good way.
OK END OF ALL KAWAII OF THE WORLD.
(Actually not yet because i still have quite a lot of photos i haven’t posted :X)
Hi cheesie!
Please don’t be too upset about not winning ok? In my heart, you are forever the number one fashion icon and inspiration for me in the entire world! 😀
Cheesie this made me cry as badly as you dunno why it was all too touching T___T and I totally prefer ur outfit SO MUCH MORE. all the way cheesie love you :’)
i’m happy for you all for the competition is such a wonderful experience! i;m jealous
anyway, a side topic, is there something wrong with shiori’s jacket? why is one hand always stuck inside the jacket?
In the previous episode she mentioned that she couldn’t use her left hand since birth..
ya, in the previous part it showed that her left arm was a lot shorter than her right arm, and her left hand is stuck in an awkward position :S
omg i almost teared in the end of the video T___T
Cheesie don’t be sad! You’re still the most kawaii blogger ever ♥
Looking forward for the photos! 😀
this made me tear a little bit!!! also, Anna Tsuchiya is awesome! totally worship her eheh
You are already the winner for us, Cheesie. So proud of you 🙂
I can’t wait for the pictures.
If you didn’t win is alright. You only lost by what? 18 votes?!
For us fans and readers alike, you’re the winner!
you guys cried so much made me cry also T____T
i love how supportive you are!! Congrats for everythinggg!! 😀
i’m so happy that you got to experience all of this and that you shared it with us. i think having the opportunity to participate in this is truly amazing, so really congrats to everyone ^^ as always, you look super pretty the whole time, can’t wait for your photos!
Its ok cheesie! You still have next time! It is a 50:50 winning chances! both of you are great! I know all of your fans out here are so proud of you! so freaking proud! You went to there all the way ok! that is freaking awesome!
Wtf. I teared while they are interviewing you. T-T Your puffy eyes.
Even though I would really hope you win this, but looking at Shoiri’s smile while she was on the stage waving; oh my, she’s so happy. I feel glad that she won too.
Aww Cheesie 🙁 it’s a pity but in my mind, I see two winners when I look at that video! But I’m sure events like this bring you lots of opportunities, even if you don’t win! Seize them and work hard! You deserve everything you have because you worked and keep working so hard for it!!
awww..I still hope they rewind the time back and let you win…lol
but anyway,you are still a winner in us cheesie!
I prefer your outfit on model more than shiori, but if you ask me to wear either of them, I’ll totally wear shiori. yours look good on model, but shiori’s look good on ordinary girl. You are already a winner when you’ve been chosen among thousands girls as contestant. 🙂
it doesnt matter, you’re forever no. 1 in my heart “那个背后那个刺激很impressive!!” xDDDDD
Sigh… Of course they will let the japanese win… Otherwise they will lose face…. But I still think Cheesie is the best!
Hi Cheesie,
I was watching the other time and I teared when they interviewed after u lose, I cried… You might lose this contest, but I really think you are the overall winner. Don’t forget that u are Nuffnang Fashion blogger!!~
チージーちゃん本当に優しい!!>.< 優しくて涙が出ちゃうーー TT__TT
OMG. I teared when Shiori was walking on stage and waving. She looked so happy and I was so happy for her. I don’t even know her but I feel so damn happy for her that I teared. Wtf. Haha. But honestly I thought you should have won because I preferred your outfit. I bet if the finals was in Malaysia everyone would have voted for you!!!
At first I was like:
“Aahw, I feel so sorry for Cheesie. She’s won practically all the tests…”
But when I saw Shiori… I still felt sorry for you, but I also felt so happy for her.
I wish that both of you girls won wtf. (‘:
awww ~ well I think overall has been a great experience~ I wish I could experience all that!
everyone here is probably team cheesie! haha u know we love u ^^

I think that it was an awesome experience for you and I am sure that you aren’t a bad looser because you were so nice to Shiori-san!
Thanks for uploading all this! ^-^
To me while watching part 1-4, you are already a winner.

Rin
Your why you love Japan post was your best ever
like most all Europeans I find them to be both baffling and suspicious, however, they do things “properly” don’t they ? (+:
Really nice to see somebody find peace and happiness
N
I am sooo extremely happy for Shiori!!! Really!!!!
In my opinion, she needed it much more than Cheesie, ’cause our favorite blogger is already 100% confident in herself and has it all to win another 1 million contests 😀
You are such a good loser (even if YOU should be the winner :P) and your look was the best :>
Keep going strong (and kawaii)
doesnt matter, to me you won
That was an awesome contest indeed, and you are the winner in our hearts.
As we all believe, plenty of chances will be there waiting for you.
All the best, girl!
gosh! I really thought you were gonna win! That was really close!
maybe it’s because she’s more familiar with what japanese would wear 😉
fashion wise, i think yours would be more interesting! ^^
<3 yr stytle~
That was really close, you and Shiori both did extremely well, and it looks like you both had a great time!
OMG ANNA TSUCHIYA!
btw, I prefer your coordinate cheesie~
aww~ i was quite dissapointed when you didnt win the competition, because i love ur coordi more, it is so fresh and daring! at first, i was keep doubting was it any black scene behind it so you lost the voting, but when i watched the runway practicing part and this finale part, i was so touched by kuma that she tried so hard to step on the stage and when i saw the dangling left arm i teared non-stop. i’m so happy for her that somehow disability on your body actually wont make you stop moving, it makes you move forward! i hope i can see kuma on fashion magazine soon! and of couse, Cheesie you are still the best!
I thought your coordi was much better, but you still did great!
what is the capsule song playing? I can’t seem to recognize it?
I saw this kawaii tv program in Japan last year October when I was working there for a couple of days. At that point they are still showing like the first few rounds of audition with participants singing etc. Never did I expect to see the results of the competition on your blog. Thanks for sharing! I think both you & Shiori won! 頑張ってね!
you srsly should have won, japanese chicks are crazy about anything that’s pink even if the coordination isn’t that impressive! your coordination was wayyyy better!!
When I heard the capsule song I freaked out. Whenever I heard it before , I thought “This song reminds me of Cheesie” and now I know its one of your favourites wtf haha
but i prefer ur style! 😉 很有巨星的感觉 ^^
