I Have Something To Say. Behind the Scenes of Miss Japan and The Results

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

I asked you guys if you wanted a behind-the-scenes of the pageant walking battle on my Insta story and 87% of you said “YES” soooo here it is!!

[@dominichill1492]

This is very nice. Glad you upload this new video. I'm looking forward to the next video as well.

[@Korruptor]

Don't knосk yourself taking a moment to dance, getting in a good frame of mind and limbering up. Confidence is sеху, confidence helps you flow with ease.

[@rainachristian2675]

I took the time to watch the entire live stream walking section. As a former ballet dancer when I was young, in my most objective opinion, you should have been top three, if not the winner of the walking competition. First of all, you had a great video short introduction. Second, you walked in line, arms did not swing too much, nor were too stiff, great poses, posture, and smile. It was overall executed with grace and professionalism. I have no idea how you were eliminated and I'm sorry for the lack of an explanation. You put in great work and I enjoyed this bts video very much just like all of your other videos.. Keep doing you and sharing your passions!

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thank you so so much for the comment and also taking your time to watch the whole walking battle!!
Your comment means so much to me. Than you ☺️🌹

Sarah, you ARE an amazing ambassador, and to everyone here you are OUR Miss Japan! Through these videos we get to see that your beauty has no boundaries, both inner and outer..
You did amazingly, the difference between the before and after video demonstrates just how well you perform when you apply yourself to something. The outfit, the makeup, your poses, were all excellent... And if I may say so, your legs amazing! It's a shame that they wont disclose the scoring criteria (there probably isn't much in the way of solid criteria in such a case), but they are the ones who lost out, not you!

[@Mayo-Lord]

You ARE an ambassador Sarah. I started watching your video's for all the cool little izakaya, and niche spots you find. I miss traveling, and you helped me feed my dream of wanderlust after a major life transformation left me feeling stuck. I understand having high expectations, and the frustration of not always being able to meet them. I think regardless of how the pageant judges beauty, who you are naturally is someone who is beautiful inside and out. In watching your video's I've gotten a sense for just how hard you strive for yourself, and who and what you love. My favorite parts of this video are the dancing. The first model walk was like "how do I hooman?" *Bursts into dance* "oh yeah". The pageant doesn't get to judge true beauty like that. As someone who works too much...stay passionate, and find victories to celebrate. Don't let the score downplay the fact that you did this for yourself, and you made incredible gains doing so. That bicep flex! Dat booty! Much love from Colorado Sarah.

Thank you so much for the comment! I'm glad you're enjoying my videos under this difficult situation ☺️

• I'm in the middle of the video right now, but I had to pause it and mention that your glasses look amazing on you! Those frames complement your features really well!! It reminds me that I need new glasses .. my current ones make me feel like Waldo, from "Where's Waldo". 🤣
• Honestly.. it looks impossible to stand in heels, let alone walk in them hahah. And a "runway" walk is extremely different from normal walking to begin with! I'm in awe of people who can do anything while wearing shoes like that. When I see pop stars dancing in heels, I'm like ..🤯
• Wow, so much preparation was involved! I'm glad you're sharing some behind-the-scenes insight; it's really interesting to see, and I can tell that you dedicated a lot of time and effort. Also, I think it's great that you're including this video on your main TH-cam channel, because it opens the door for you to freely express yourself with your content in the future as well. I really appreciate the "ambassador" angle that you're approaching it with!
• The lighting in this 2nd studio is really nice!

>Outfit✅

In my mind while watching this: "Sarah is going to slay 🔥 WERKKKK 🙌"
Also in my mind while watching this: "oh yeah, I remember that Instagram story about the judges..😒"
**sigh**
• Well.. despite the unqualified judges and their questionable scoring process, there's still a sense of accomplishment to be felt from this experience. In the end, you were more committed to the philosophy of the pageant than the pageant coordinators themselves. Therefore, I think your efforts outshined any score they could've given you.
• You're awesome Sarah 😊👏

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thank you so much for that! I tried dancing in heels but it was a straight NO for me 😂 "you were more committed to the philosophy of the pageant than the pageant coordinators themselves" ← OMG 😂😂

[@caraupton2791]

I admire the hard work that you put into your Miss Japan experience. I also really liked the videos you submitted. You speak very well, and your dialogue was informative & entertaining. I’m sorry you were disappointed, but I think you should be proud of what you produced. You are an excellent TH-camr, and I am looking forward to seeing all the videos you make in the future!

[@raunaksingh2175]

Oh wow you look so cute in this video and I really appreciate despite so much hard work you were really enjoying all this ❤️

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

I was! Thank you!

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying my videos ☺️

[@skeptik]

10:28 I almost put on some active wear and started to walking around my office when the beat dropped. I awarded you an extra 8 points for the behind the scenes look at all the work that goes into a short work. Congratulations! 30/30!

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

I literally laughed out loud when I read the first line of your comment 😂😂😂 Thank you for the extra 8 points!! ☺️

[@karenandsherylindreamworld8215]

Nice sharing friend 👍👍😊😊🙂

[@toni-kaku]

Aww really feel for you. All that hard work and expense with no real knowledge of the basis of scoring. So frustrating! Thanks for sharing anyway. It's always good to get a midweek bonus video 👍

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thank you! I was a little annoyed because the contestants spent so much time and effort into the battle, but the admin didn't respect that 😞

[@ruthchavez9281]

Infront of my eyes you are such a beautiful model. Don´t let a bunch of bad judges make you change. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.

[@glenn8452]

Next, Sarah-san enters 踊る contest... you have the skills.😊 頑張って

[@lasingify]

It was good to see the behind the scenes, all the best for the future ✌️

Thank you!

I love ur spirit ❤

[@lennyg47]

Hi Sarah. Cool glasses look! I really mean it. I don't understand pageant scoring. I watched the part you were in, but that's about it. I thought it was strange that you had to walk in active wear and heels. Seems like an odd combination. Why not evening wear with heels. Actually, your outfit looked quite classy. Long time ago I worked on a pageant once. I worked as a sound engineer at a theater which was rented by a pageant company and the pageant was broadcast on television, so I had my name in the credits on TV. That's it. That's my pageant story. You are awesome! Good job! :)

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

I also thought it was weird that I had to wear active wear, but I think it’s because not everyone has an evening gown!
Oh nice! Thanks for sharing the story 😊

Sarahさん、こんばんは。
驚きしかないと言うか普段の動画と違ってSarahさんが日々をストイックにそして誠実にしっかりとした目標に向きあっている事が伝わってきました。少ししか見れてはいませんが、長くなりそうなので省略しますがダンスにも真剣に取り組んでいたんだとすぐに分かりました。
Sarahさんの知らない部分ばかりの動画でした。やれる事を惜しまず努力し、一生懸命なSarahさんは輝いてい見えました‼️🤭😱🥺😆8点の原点はそう思いたくはありませんが、出来レース的な大人たちの勝手な事情って奴なんではないかと、、🤔長いコメントですみません。😣これからも勝手ながら応援してます‼️Sarahさんお疲れ様でした‼️‼️

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

コメントありがとうございます☺️大学時代のダンスは特に人生で一番ストイックにやったので、そう仰っていただけてとても嬉しいです。
こういったミスコンの類で大人の事情は大いにありそうですね。最初から感じてはいましたが、一番残念なのは、どれだけ時間をかけても結果が同じだったのではないかと思ってしまうことです。最初の動画を提出しても、2回目の動画を提出しても点数はあまり変わらなかったと思ってしまいます。自分のためにも「試行錯誤を重ねて提出しても恥ずかしくない動画が撮影できた」と考えるようにしています。

You nailed the walk with those heels in my opinion, looked great!

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thank you! I got these when I was at uni and I'm really glad I still had them 😂

[@sara.cbc92]

Wait, I know you now. You were from Miss Japan. I love that channel. I didn't know you were modelling in China 🐼

[@andrewtsai7646]

Don't know what the judges were thinking. You clearly scored an immaculate 10/10 in my book!

[@DDelusionMusic]

Idk how I came across your video but no matter you won or not you already won our heart with that level of dedication. More power to you. 🇮🇳🇯🇵

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thank you! ☺️

[@robertikeno6193]

The second session looked really good.

[@FHK_88]

Good luck with the competition!

[@Pagroove]

I watched the whole video. It's clear that you have put a lot of work into the competition. Really sad that they didn't make clear how the scoring system worked. In my opinion you are very beautiful.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thank you! ☺️

[@olliwi]

To me, you are Miss Japan! 🌹

[@asfinland]

I thought that being such a great event the jury would be composed of people that know about that world, perhaps fashion designers and journalists, models, model agents, etc... You would have been a great contender in the finals, your model performance is mesmerizing. Now you have an excuse to coffee chat (or tea chat) with other Miss Japan winners or contenders and share your experiences in a video.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

I think the judges were just sponsors of miss Japan which means that they were just office workers…
Thanks for the comment! I did enjoy the experience nevertheless

Hi Sarah new friend here, I apprecaite your effort in doing your craft, you really do a great job girl!! Try again some other time, you know!! never give up!!

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thank you!! ☺️

[@dont_call_me_anthony89]

I thoroughly enjoyed this little mini-doco/behind the scenes feature! I didn't care how long it was (truth be told, it flew by and I didn't even notice!), I thought it was witty 😅
At the same time though, I felt gutted that you didn't make it to the next phase of the competition 😢
Hopefully this is not the end of the road. You're a beautiful, physically fit young lady who is too good to be overlooked.
Apologies for sounding like a damn Hallmark card, but I felt you deserve better 😅 Take care!

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it! 😆 (It was worth spending all my time to edit out a very long footage 😂)
Hallmark card 😂😂 Not at all, it means a lot to me! Thank you again ☺️

[@rjl310]

9:10 GLASSES!! Cute! :)

[@AKRex]

Noooo! Don't be shaming that oshiri hahaha! (I personally think the black one looks better. In a highly hypothetical scenario if we went out somewhere, I would choose that!). And yeah, it was not helpful that they never elaborated how they were picking and choosing candidates. That really seemed unfair, but then remember that anything to do with this kind of field is full of shenanigans and a lot of it lacks any form of objectivity whatsoever, hence why I personally would never want to go into anything related to these kind of things (I tried to get into acting in Hollywood a long time ago and was actually making my way there slowly but surely, but when started getting more familiar with it I was put off and decided not to do it).

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thanks for that!
I did think about the whole shenanigans thing, but because the walking battle was going to be live, I thought they would at least make it look more subtle... lol

[@AKRex]

@@TokyoFoodieSarah As long as you had fun, learned something and didn't get hurt - that's what matters! Looking forward to the next video/ stream :)

[@hirokowatson7494]

Sarah, you are beautiful inside and out. You are very smart : you are observant to see from every angle, you can immediately catch what you need and how to fit the competition. You have a great sense in style. It's obvious an unfair judgement! Keep challenging for the fair competitions!

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thank you for that! It means a lot to me 🥲

[@tricky0001979]

Well congrats for getting as far as you did, and if you knew where you went wrong or didnt do something quite correctly then you could change or prepare better if there's a next time.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

Thanks for that! The thing is I don't (especially compared to the other girls who got higher points) and that's why I wanted a clear explanation

[@robertikeno6193]

I agree with you but it was a good experience anyway.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

indeed!

[@ivvan497]

Is your hair brown like that or is it classic japanese black? OMG glasses sarah looks so different!! Very " nerdy" haha

I know right! That's why I rarely put my glasses on when I film 😂

[@lee6518]

Maybe it was the vibe. What is the criteria of inner beauty from their perspective? In any case, they should be very clear about the rubric. The qualifications of the judges also should to be published.
I just went to google for Miss Universe Japan. Is it the same competition?
I'm just speechless. This IS a joke.

[@colinmathie2710]

Yeah that scoring system was wack, im really sorry you were eliminated though, you put so much time and effort into preparing for it.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]

I did 😞 Thank you very much for the comment though!

i like your dancing Sarah san, i dont know you can dance like that : )

[@rommelb.8070]

Sarah, what is your height ?

[@arterisdewberry9467]

Wow really!? You lost 8 points!? Clearly these Japanese men don't know the true beauty in their eyes! You're a 100 out of 10 in my eyes! I know it's tough to win a beauty contest and those Japanese women are also beautiful as well. But you have a great personality and I don't know why judges don't look at inner beauty in contest like this. Inner beauty is the most important part of a human's body. At least you tried. I'm happy that you got interviewed by Miss Japan.
By the way, you look incredible in the leggings and heels outfit. Even if you didn't like wearing that, I still like it haha.

[@TokyoFoodieSarah]
