The show is divided into two
parts. A total of 20 teams have participated. One show lasts
for a few minutes and next one comes on immediately. It is
created for the audience to enjoy and the costume, choreography,
props are elaborate. Above, the doll-like models and punk
girl looks contrasting but they are in a same show. They all
wears a corset and moves like a robot. Above right, Mahogany
comes on the 7th.

a traditional oriental atomosphere. Under their kimono, the
models are wearing contemporary black mini dress. It has a
Kabuki ending with white strings radiating from their palm

element. Here, black is eliminated but there were white-clad
models with cobweb hair which one might call "white goth".
