alferg 0 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 if you can find photos of this comp, post em here! http://www.fasterlouder.com.au/news/intl/4252/ o we all knew that the Japanese have a penchant for taking things that the Western world originally start as a joke and running with it until it becomes a world-wide phenomenon. But air-guitar? They’ve managed to take the ‘sport’ to the next level, even going as far as holding annual air-guitar championships. The championships, which had been mainly populated by teenage girls, has now split to also hold the ‘Miss Air Guitar Japan Contest’ as well as the annual ‘Air Guitar World Championship’. The ‘Miss Air Guitar Japan Contest’ boasted a line-up of 14 lively, panty-flashing, teens, who battled it out for the number one spot. With the aid of a selection of panty-flashes and well timed smiles, 17 year old Shizuka Mtsubara took out the grand prize. The excited schoolgirl chuffed afterwards, "Since seeing the air guitar championships on TV a couple of years ago, my family and I have become really big fans," the schoolgirl told Shukan Taishu. "What I really like about air guitar playing is that it lets me express myself in a way I like while listening to music I like. I knew people were going to be looking up my dress to see my undies, but I didn't worry about that and just gave it my all." Link to post Share on other sites
