Miss Japan Goes to High School: Emiri Miyasaka

Being a fan of adorable Shida Mirai, I thought I’d better check out the new Hayami Mokomichi drama HAMMER SESSION, if only to see what Mirai-chan’s been up to. With the somewhat standard story of an unconventional character taking on an unruly classroom, this drama fit right along the lines of GTO or NAOMI, and though the stories themselves were interesting enough, there was ANOTHER reason I kept checking back every week...

You see, though each episode followed the perils of a different set of students and their problems, more IMPORTANTLY, there’s ALSO this running gag of Mokomichi making some inane reason to visit the school Health Room. And just WHAT could be the reason he just HAD to get down there each week? Well, It's easy to figure out when the Health Aide running the Health room looks like THIS: Yes, EVERY week, We got to see this lovely young Health Aide in all her seductive glory...HOLY CRAPOLA! After about the third episode, I just HAD to find out who this curvaceous gal WAS, and going online I was to find that this model-cum-actress was none other than Emiri Miyasaka, the controversial Miss Japan from 2009’s Miss Universe Pageant who made headlines for her maybe-too-revealing avant-garde kimono-dress! WHOA!

Check THAT outfit out! While I might understand how they might have deemed the costume too outlandish and over the top for the Pageant, it really told you right away that this was one TIGER of a girl! Kudos to whoever did that BRILLIANT bit of casting for her role in HAMMER SESSION- There’s nothing that could have stopped me if I knew SHE was gonna be down at MY School's Health Room every day! So I have to sympathize with

Mokomichi and say that I send him off to the Health Room with my blessings (and jealousy!)
