Miss Universe Japan Chibana Kurara and pin-up queen Hoshino Aki headed a glamorous list of 14 stars declared the Vogue Nippon Women of the Year 2006 on Monday.
"My year was all about experience, change and wonderful encounters," said Chibana, who was runner-up in this year's Miss Universe contest.
Vogue Nippon, the Japanese-language version of Vogue magazine, selected the 14 women from a variety of fields because of the inspiration they have given to its readers with their outstanding achievement, lifestyle, beauty and style.
Pin-up queen Hoshino was among the other winners, wearing a sparkling and revealing, low-cut outfit exposing more flesh than any of the other recipients.
"I never dreamed I'd get a wonderful prize like this," said Hoshino, who at 29 has been labeled Japan's oldest pin-up idol.
Other recipients of the Vogue Nippon Women of the Year 2006 award were Olympic women's figure skating gold medalist Arakawa Shizuka, model Anne, fashion designer Mori Hanae, artist Matsui Fuyuko, singer Koda Kumi, TV newscaster Takigawa Christel and actresses Momoi Kaori, Kikuchi Rinko, Sawajiri Erika, Nakatani Miki, Nagasawa Masami and Matsuyuki Yasuko.
