An Interview with Our CEO Kazue Oshima Has Been Published in “Shacho no Senaka Interview”!

An interview with Kazue Oshima, CEO of Bellissima Japan K.K., the organizer of Mrs. Universe Japan, has been published in “Shacho no Senaka Interview.”

In the interview, under the theme “Letting go of ‘someone like me’: toward a society where women can shine again at any age,” Oshima talks about why she founded Mrs. Universe Japan, the journey so far, and the future she hopes to create.

The article also describes her passion for “women living true to themselves,” a conviction born of her own experiences, and how she has kept going while overcoming many hardships, including an intractable illness and the cancellation of the pageant during the COVID-19 pandemic.

She also shares her wish that, rather than holding themselves back with thoughts like “someone like me” or “I’m too old now,” each woman will embrace her own experiences and individuality and rediscover her own radiance.

What Mrs. Universe Japan values is not outward beauty alone, but the charm that comes from the life each person has lived and the experiences she has gained.

She further discusses her vision for the future beyond the pageant itself, including her book “The 7-Day Work to Love Yourself” and her activities centered on self-acceptance, all aimed at a society where everyone can live true to themselves.

It is an engaging interview filled with the passion behind Mrs. Universe Japan and with Oshima’s own past and future.

We hope you will take a moment to read it.
