The 5th Cotton USA Awards, meant to promote the cotton industry in Japan, were presented on May 14 in Ebisu, Tokyo. The annual awards are given to celebrities to celebrities who possess the ‘softness’ and ‘freshness’ like cotton.

That’s just about the weirdest award I have heard of.

    Lily… I think she is filming (or perhaps just finished) some special episodes for Hana Kimi, she has to maintain her hair at that length I guess.

    bb… hmm, I am not entirely sure; everything made of cotton perhaps? I wonder if the artists were wearing cotton made cloths when receiving the awards…
