Following a reader voting period online, the final round of fashion magazine Popteen’s Grand Prix model audition was held at this year’s ‘Gokiken! Popteen Natsu no Shingeki Matsuri 2014‘ yesterday at Zepp Tokyo.
Chosen out of 3,026 contestants across the country, third year junior high student Kitazawa Mayu came in first for the women’s division. Given a tiara and royal cape she shared her excitement, “I didn’t think there was a way I could have possibly won. I’m really glad.”
For the men’s division, 18 year-old Matsuhisa Kaede came in first. “Word can’t express my happiness” he stated. “Along with modeling, I have an interest in trying out acting as well.”
