Interview with CEO Kazue Oshima Featured on the Web News Media “Real Press”!
July 13, 2026
An interview with Kazue Oshima, CEO of Bellissima Japan K.K., which runs Mrs. Universe Japan, has been published on the web news media “Real Press.”
The article is themed around
“There is no such thing as a person with nothing to offer”
— What is true beauty, the kind that begins with accepting yourself?
In it, she talks about the thoughts behind her book “The 7-Day Work to Love Yourself” (Jibun wo Suki ni Naru 7-kakan Waku), published in April 2026, and about the importance of not only “self-esteem” but also “self-acceptance”: acknowledging yourself just as you are.
The article also introduces the “true beauty” she learned from the women she met at pageants overseas, and the origin of Mrs. Universe Japan: her wish to create a place where anyone can take on a challenge in their own way, regardless of age, body type or position.
She speaks about the idea of “co-creation”: rather than competing by comparing ourselves with others, recognizing each other’s strengths and experiences and creating new value together.
Sharing real episodes, she also talks about how, when a woman values herself as the main character of her own life and takes a step forward, she gives courage to her family and the people around her.
“There is no such thing as a person with nothing to offer. Everyone has their own unique charm and experiences.”
It is a rich interview, filled with the wonder of living true to yourself and taking on challenges.
We hope you will take the time to read it.
