Miss Japan 2007 Hisako Shirata in R-rated ?
October 18, 2007 – 5:53 pm
October 15, 08 - Miss Japan 2008 has ended. However, Japanese weekly “Shukan Shincho” , weekly magazine from Japan once again report that the previous year winner of Miss Japan International Contest, Hisako Shirata (白田久子) starred in a R-rated sex and bondage movie few years ago.
Explain a little bit at here to those who don’t know about this at all..
According to information, Hisako appeared in an R-rated movie called ‘The Perfect Pet: Secret Basement’, (Kanzen Naru Kaiiku Himitsu no Chikashitsu) 《完美宠物：秘密地下室》
She played the role of a high school girl abducted and kept prisoner by a man. It was her first movie and was steamy, getting her nude and performing sex and bondage scenes.
Miss International’s entrants are only required to be under a certain age limit and be unmarried.
None of the questions are otherwise probed about their pasts. A beauty contest industry insider shakes their head when it comes to the decision to make Shirata Miss International Japan.
There are always performers who apply to take part in these contests. Normally, the judges are pretty strict on actresses and they often find it hard to win. An example of this is the way contestants approach the cameras. Judges are always going to take a harder line when it comes to comparing a woman whose profession is to appear before the camera and another woman who has to muster up the courage to show herself off before a lens for the first time in her life.
Performing nude and doing sex scenes had also been widely regarded as surefire pathways to failure.
“Beauty contests are all about the contestants being ‘clean’ and ‘pure.’ There’s not much you can do about contest winners who go on to do nude work, but giving them the prize after they’ve already acted nude is a bit rich,” the insider says.
“Some people are suggesting that Shirata’s win is a sign that the contest’s judges weren’t doing their job properly.”
Indignant judges scoff at the suggestion.
“Shirata was in an R-rated movie? It’s the first I’ve heard,” one of the judges tells the weekly.
“I never heard the topic raised during judges’ discussion about the contest. I guess she wouldn’t have won if we’d known about it.”
